SpaceNoodle, in New WD40 formular just dropped

Protein folding is wild.

PoisonedPrisonPanda, (edited ) in New WD40 formular just dropped

Man you got me.

I was like "wtf this stuff are proteins? "

But then:

WD-40’s formula is a trade secret. The original copy of the formula was moved to a secure bank vault in San Diego in 2018.

To avoid disclosing its composition, the product was not patented in 1953, and the window of opportunity for patenting it has long since closed.

WD-40’s main ingredients as supplied in aerosol cans, according to the US Material Safety Data Sheet information, and with the CAS numbers interpreted:

  • 45–50% low vapor pressure aliphatic hydrocarbon (isoparaffin)
  • <35% petroleum base oil (non-hazardous heavy paraffins)
  • <25% aliphatic hydrocarbons (same CAS number as the first item, but flammable)
  • 2–3% carbon dioxide (propellant)

somebody needs to change the lede to

Analytical and Bio-analytical Chemistry- your society journal for rapid production and global viscosity on analytical research

just to raise even more eyebrows.

lolcatnip,

My brain hurts.

Falsifiably so.

metaStatic,

so better science than most of modern physics

That’s prob the least of their concern given the evolutionary pressures to disguise the nest from above.

Cuckoos are probubly about.

I think the funniest part about cuckoo’s is that they can’t be bothered to parent their offspring but some will still hang around just to make sure the host is taking care of the cuckoo’s chicks.

Like if the host bird notices the cuckoo chick and tries to not feed it the cuckoo will harass the host bird and try to kill the other chicks.

The cuckoo arms race is facinating.

Some birds have developed specialized patterns in their young and specialized movements to prove they are not cuckoos. Cuckoos have developed mimicking patterns and movements as a result.
