Beloved toy: An over 1800-year-old rag-doll made from linen and stuffed with flexible filling, and dressed in linen garments. The hair is made of human hair. The eyes, eyebrows, and mouth are painted on. The doll is one of the most elaborate of its kind and presumably belonged to a... 🧵1/2

The doll is shown upright against a black background.

Twice a year, Hawai'i experiences a strange moment where the sun appears to be exactly overhead & anything that is completely vertical casts no shadow. Let's learn about Lāhainā Noon, subsolar points & 'Kau ka lā i ka lolo', meaning "the sun rests on the brains."

From a Reddit forum, a photo of a can of coconut milk with a blue label, papyrus text and a flip-top, on a sidewalk. It seems to hover because there's no visible shadow. The pavement is sort of unevenly colored, with bright spots, and the grass along it is green and lush.

“Ancient Egyptian princesses actually knew how to use the weapons they were buried with, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology” That this study was needed takes the “fake geek girl” meme to levels I never thought possible😭

"buried with a powerful arsenal of weapons . . . which archaeologists have continued to dismiss as "purely symbolic" But. . . "evidence the princesses knew how to use them, based on the state of the muscle attachments on their bones, and the signs of injuries" www.sciencealert.com/ancient-egyp...

Vertraut niemals darauf, was im Internet steht! Hab mir vorhin beim Radfahren ne Zerrung zugezogen und gelesen, dass Eis schmerzlindernd wirkt. Ist Quatsch, hab jetzt schon 3 Amaretto-Becher und 2 Banana-Split gegessen, tut aber immer noch weh.

You had 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great-grandparents, genetically speaking. 10 generations ago, you had 1024 ancestors. 14 generations ago, 16,384. By the time of Charlemagne, your ancestors outnumber the number of people ever to live. But /lots/ of them were cousins, which collapses pedigrees.

A diagram of pedigree collapse, showing how the likelihood of two ancestors being relatives also increases as the number of ancestor increases.

WOW -- Danish reporter *goes there* with Rutte "You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Ich finde die ganze Aufregung um AU ab Tag 1 berechtigt. Ich bin aber der festen Überzeugung, dass das der Punkt aus dem Koalitionsausschuss ist, bei dem zurückgerudert werden wird. (1/2)

"Hitze bringt doch niemanden um, schließlich gibt es auch Leute, die in der Sahara überleben" denken viele. Übersehen wird: Ob Hitze tödlich ist, hängt von der Luftfeuchtigkeit ab. Durch Klimawandel können Todeszonen entstehen, in denen menschliches Leben physiologisch unmöglich ist. (Thread)
