Took a bit of a break from socials but I'm back to shill my recent video essay about a defunct “educational” Epcot ride. It was paid for by Exxon, and was pretty blatant fossil fuel propaganda. It also featured a bunch of animatronic dinosaurs, and not many of them were good!!! youtu.be/ctFruKAuozY

I recently learned about Maxwell’s Demon recently and all I can say is it sounds like it would be an amazing inspiration for a Minecraft inventory mod. (Like the ME stuff in Applied Energetics, but make it whimsical.)

My problem with the Run The Dishwasher Twice principle is that sometimes the food is still there because the dishwasher /can’t/ get it, and so now you DO have to wash it by hand AND there’s no room in your sink because more dishes have piled up since you relied on a shitty dishwasher TWO TIMES

inside you are three wolves

I got to be one of the testers for this and it was VERY cool and fun and I would have adored something like this in high school (which had close to zero chances to learn about Making Videos)

My take on the Sunscreen Denialism thing is basically that “This thing is personally unpleasant for me, thus I will retrofit ‘legitimate’ reasons why it’s ok for me to ignore it” is a very common thought process Just rationalizing away cognitive dissonance based on aesthetic/sensory reasons

Someone who knows more about music than I do really needs to make a video about how Kyle Gordon /keeps doing the thing he does/

HUH????

Welcome to the CAMBRIAN FECAL REVOLUTION. We didn't name it the Cambrian fecal explosion for obvious reasons. I'm happy to share this paper on fecal matter and its role in Cambrian ecosystems. So if you want to read a really shitty paper (50 days free access): authors.elsevier.com/a/1nYg8cZ3X7...

all the primitive caveman diet stuff is so funny because wdym cavemen never ate vegetables, what do you think the gatherer in hunter-gatherer means, are they gathering steak sauce
