Science Enthusiast. Atheist. Lover of cats.
A woman in the United Kingdom drowned her four year old daughter, Amelia Brooke Harris, and set her house on fire in an attempt to burn the body, all to please God. Fair warning, the details of this story are extremely disturbing. According to the BBC: Carly Ann Harris believed she had to “sacrifice” Amelia […] More
This is not the type of drone strike we’re used to hearing about. I’ve never been to a Renaissance fair, but if I ever do go to one, I want the reenactors to be as authentic as this guy was. Get our ‘Everything hurts and I’m dying’ shirt, available now in our store! A participant […] More
Parachutes. They are almost ubiquitous among those who jump out of planes. But have we ever done research on them to see precisely how safe they are? Sure, we’ve seen people jump out of planes with parachutes in the past. But how many studies have there been about the safety and effectiveness of parachutes? And […] More
It’s very interesting that, despite having increased access to information, so many Flat Earthers have shunned facts and logic in favor of one of the most strange and elaborate conspiracy theories in the history of conspiracy theories. I mean, it’s an extremely easily debunked hypothesis. It’s logically inconsistent. It doesn’t make any sense. But hey, […] More
Elon Musk is a man wearing many hats. In addition to running SpaceX, he’s also in charge of Tesla motors and The Boring Company. He also has a knack for doing things he ought not to do. This includes things such as weirdly calling a hero from the Thai cave rescue a pedophile (I’m still […] More
One of my favorite things is to watch people who are hopelessly lost when it comes to technology try to understand technology. To be completely fair, it’s not their fault. There’s a lot to know about, especially when it comes to SEO (search engine optimization). SEO is why you see a lot of internal linking and linkbacks on websites, […] More
Voyager 2, which blasted off from Earth way back in 1977, has officially left the solar system and is now in interstellar space. According to the BBC: The news was revealed at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in Washington. And chief scientist on the mission, Prof Edward Stone, confirmed it. He said both probes […] More
Last week, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft completed its 27-month journey to rendezvous with the asteroid Bennu. The probe is currently orbiting Bennu about 12 miles (19 kilometers) from the surface. The goal of the mission is to land on the asteroid and return a sample of the asteroid. NASA has never attempted anything like this in the […] More
Full disclosure: I want a Tesla car. I’m not yet set on the model, but I’m planning on ordering a Tesla sometime next year. So yeah, I’m a bit of a fanboy at this point but hey, at least I’m honest about it. That’s why when I saw this article written by Mike Brown for […] More
If you ask any smoker or stoner if there’s a difference between vaping and smoking, you’ll get a different answer each time. And since it’s somewhat of a scientific gray area at this point, there’s not a lot of data points to look at to determine if one is “better” than the other. What we […] More
If you’ve given up your will to live, but haven’t died yet, then perhaps you’re not trying hard enough. A new study, led by Dr. John Leach from the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom, found that you can die simply by giving up your will to live. Get our ‘Everything huts and I’m dying’ […] More
Today, NASA released the first ever audio recording from Mars! NASA’s InSight lander touched down successfully on Mars on November 26th. The primary mission of the lander (which is not a rover) is to study the interior of Mars by drilling below the surface. The goal is to analyze seismic activity and monitor for Marsquakes, which […] More
