over_clox, in found a confusing bolt cleaning my parents' garage

I’ve had to help someone tighten a bolt like this before. It was used to attach the deck assembly to the underside of a riding lawnmower.

Blizzard, in in Western Australia, they have trees that are pinned for climbing. This is filmed from the point of view climbing a 65m (215ft) tall one.

squiblet, in My 48yr old unopened bottle of beer. (Circa 1975)

My parents had a can of tecate in their fridge dating to a 4th of July party we had in 1985... until finally around 2004, my brother's friend drank it. He didn't really have much of a comment on the quality.

wahming,

Is that because he’s dead?

You know, not to ruin the joke, but it might have worked out better if the Tecate did kill him back then. He's currently in prison for 45 years for stabbing his wife to death.

TheaoneAndOnly27,

Well I was not expecting that reply.

It shows how bad the judgement is of someone who would drink a 19 year old Tecate!

wahming,

Oof.

we weren't really expecting it either...

Dkarma,

Tecate is trash when it’s fresh. I can’t imagine one almost 20 years old

I'm not a paleontologist or anything but I'm pretty sure that's a fossil now. Congratulations!

Oha, in Kit Kat’s coolest flavors aren’t sold in the US. Here’s why

still tastes like child slavery

inclementimmigrant, in Kit Kat’s coolest flavors aren’t sold in the US. Here’s why

Or you know, go to the Chinese, Korean, or Japanese market near you and find a few there.

Just picked up a bag of milk tea and chestunt Kit Kats the other day.

jwagner7813, in How geologists collect lava

I would be super scared that the surface I’m walking in could potentially be lava. Cool AF too watch though.

anlumo,

Never played “the floor is lava” as a child? This is a game to prepare you for that situation.

zipsglacier,

It’s hot AF!

I’d love to see more buildings like this for apartments! Scaling vertically but still getting outdoor space that isn’t roofed by the next balcony up.

Thanks for this... I'll miss sleeping

burningquestion, in TIL: ferns have sperm that swims

More interesting to me is that a full fern life cycle takes two generations to play out. A diploid (two sets of each chromosome) fern throws off spores, and the spores grow into haploid (one set of each chromosome) plantlets. The haploid plantlets fertilize each other, and boom, the offsping are diploid ferns.

meyotch,

Truly interesting, isn’t it? Even cooler is that more ‘modern’ flowering plants do the same thing, but they have truncated and miniaturized the haploid phase so it is completely dependent on the diploid sporophyte.

Don’t get me started on mosses. I have to go to work!

captainlezbian,

Ok but what if we want to know more about mosses

PlasticExistence,

I would like to subscribe to your moss facts newsletter

Did you know that Richard Ayoade, who played Moss in ‘the IT-crowd’ debuted on tv in ‘Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace’?

PlasticExistence,

That is technically on topic, so well done!

    Khalic,

    Honk! Honk! I’m melting

    OpenHammer6677,

    In the Philippines we call these types of Gekoes tuko based on the sound.

    Parents would warn their kids to be careful when you hear them because when they fall on you, they’ll latch on to your skin and won’t let go

    outdated_belated,

    Wow, I thought for sure this was DALL-E.

    Shows, I suppose how the existence of these things cheapens what would otherwise be a sense of awe or appreciation.
