[–]AmbitionOfPhilipJFry -2 points-1 points ago

  1. Tritium, aka h3. Sun fused isotope of hydrogen is buried in moon regolith waiting to be unlocked and used for fusion power.

  2. Escape earth's gravity well for intersolar travel and asteroid mining with rail guns to launch craft. Moon's water split for rocket fuel and oxygen.

  3. Ultimate high ground for earth battlefield... Rocks can go fast when dropped from the moon.

Hey Reddit... a friend of mine died tonight. Earlier today we had pizza and we watched The Goonies. On his way home, he was carjacked and shot not two miles from my front door. My question is inside. by skitt123in AskReddit

The atoms that constitute my ashes aren't gold-plated, or impervious to time's relentless march.

Just wanted to say your body turns over roughly 98% of its atoms every year. source Who you physically were isn't who you physically are except for your mental consciousness. Gives me science-based hope for something staying intact after all your atoms are completely gone.

I just resigned from my soul sucking job so that I can get my life back on track. I feel like a huge weight just got lifted and am finally excited about my future. How's your Friday coming along Reddit? by sherriffin AskReddit

Sitting in a hospital cafeteria studying PowerPoints from my nursing class, physio class on my phone. I have my o-chem book on deck. Last Friday of my spring break is being spent on a 12 hour on an on call paramedic truck for the catheterization lab.

So making money and leveling up my brain: its a great Friday!

Science by definition requires empirical data as a foundation for belief. You've got a confirmation bias.

Death and Cookies

An 87-year old man, on his death bed and in pain, smells the aroma of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies coming from outside his bedroom. He thinks to himself, "my dear wife must be making my favorite cookies as a sentiment to our final hours together." So he musters up what little strength he has remaining in his feeble body and drags himself out of bed.

Fighting off the pain and weakness, he stumbles into the hallway, down the stairs, and to the kitchen door. There, on the table, he sees a huge plate of chocolate chip cookies, the steam rising from the plate, the chocolate chips still soft and gooey. He thinks, "God bless my devoted wife for giving me such pleasure in my final hours on this earth", and he then falls to the floor and crawls towards the cookies.

He gets to the table and, with the last ounce of strength he has left, reaches up with his hand to take a cookie. Just then, he feels the stinging Whack! of a metal spatula against his knuckles.

He looks up to see his wife standing over him, saying "Don't you dare touch those cookies, they're for the funeral guests!"

If eating meat causes decades of life-loss and decline in quality of life lived, why do people continue to eat it?

If your body can survive healthier and live longer on a 100% vegan diet, why doesn't everyone switching over to that diet?

House voted 406-17 to keep the NDAA (indefinite military detention bill) conference committee closed to the public. by donnydonnyin politics

I've had this dream, too.

Just text out or email out to everyone's phone or have them access online websites with encrypted information.

Direct democracy IS viable in today's communication age.

The question is...

Would you allow a true democratic will of the people to be heard?

I heard once that when you're inexperienced and young, you're frustrated by how the world is set up because you think its not what you others what; when you're mature you're scared by the way the world is set up because you know its exactly the way others want. No-one ever went broke underestimating the lowest common denominator of the public's desire.

Is the lack of hair on our bodies for the purpose of keeping us warm a way we physically adapted to our technology i.e. clothes? by Johndoe9990in askscience

[–]AmbitionOfPhilipJFry -1 points0 points ago

Androgens, male hormones, drive secondary sex characteristics such as facial hair. A beard would be a huge sign of biochemical male-hormone saturation and, thus, a good mate. Additionally, longer hair that's not mangy, diseased or thin also is a sign of a healthy diet: thus someone who is a good hunter and provider, another good mate.

Beards and long hair on males are evolutionarily attractive for females.
