I spent a solid 30 seconds looking for Saddam Hussein.

Yo woops replies to the wrong post so here's a dumb fact: Nutmeg is extremely poisonous if injected intravenously.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

memes have taught me that that means it's venomous, not poisonous.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Are you referring to this classic? If so, injecting is the equivalent of eating in this case, so the nutmeg would be poisonous, not venomous.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

injecting is the equivalent of "it bites you" because that's literally what happens. Snake fangs are needles.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I disagree. To me, "Eating/taking a bite" in this case means ingesting, consuming, inhaling, basically putting the substance into yourself.

Searching has taught me that venom is a type of poison so all venom is poison.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You think you can trust information that you've found yourself more than you can trust memes that some other person on the internet has seen?

[–] Piemanding 1 points 5 months ago

My part of the internet is better than your part of the internet. Fite me irl.

Happens to the best of us.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Indeed

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Is that a pore or a pimple?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Micro and nano plastics made they way down there.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure they are talking about "plastic deformation" which is a term in materials science for when something is under the right conditions and force is applied, it bends instead of breaks or springs back.

[–] TheSilverShroud 6 points 5 months ago

This is probably on the right track, but just wanted to add a little detail. Elastic deformation is when something fully springs back to its original shape. Plastic deformation has some spring back, but some portion of the deformation remains after the force is removed. Unless of course you bend it to the point of breaking. I'd imagine that means that in the brittle zone in the image there's virtually no deformation, just force applied until a break occurs.

Oh no.

Innocence lost: Throw your brain into the gutter and then ignore the text and look at the whole picture.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Dunno what's so dirty about a pimple

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Pimple?… or is it something else I’m just not seeing

Maybe if you've only got a passing familiarity with the anatomy....

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's perfectly fine rich people don't build palatial estates in seismically catastrophic regions so it's fine, perfectly fine no worries super fine

[–] [email protected] -3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I mean, this could be another metaphor for cart and horse theory, but it was honestly probably the jagerbombs. After all, we gotta look at the "big picture" here.
