Science Magazine@science.org · 13h agoResearchers in #ScienceAdvances have developed a colloidal quantum dot–based upconverter that turns multispectral infrared light to full color vision, allowing people to see in the infrared spectrum. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4bixCUt
I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
The decision to haul a few gallons of paint cans by bike while in a tshirt dress is not the best…
This actually fills me with the deepest sense of wonder. There’s so much out there that my little meatsack body has yet to see and experience.
Jess McLaughlin, PhD (they/them)@jfmclaughlin92.bsky.social · 3d agoYou ever think about how, even with the vastness of our natural world as it is now, there's whole ecosystems and ways of life that we never got to see in the past, and then you get really sad?

ahh july, the month when you can step out of the shower and instantly feel sweatier and more disgusting than you've ever felt in your entire life

Would like to point out this isn’t an age threshold thing… it’s an independence threshold thing. I’m not (yet) 40 but I’ve written checks, used to write letters to friends, used rotary phone, dial up internet, paged people, etc etc etc. Some people don’t manage their own lives until later.
Jesse Sheidlower@jessesword.com · 7d agoThat thing where I feel old when I encounter someone who has never written a physical check, but now it's even worse because that person is 40 YEARS OLD.
Every other weekend there’s a lowrider that drives around here and without fail they will play this banger so loud and my God does the entire street dance

There’s a road biker in my neighbourhood who regularly is out on his bike (in full spandex outift) with a cigarette poking out of his mouth. I can’t even be mad- its just impressive.
