In addition to what other posters have said, chemotrophic bacteria can play a significant role concentrating/enriching certain metallic ores by eating dissolved minerals in deep groundwater and metabolizing out metals. Lots of vein-gold runs through very old & fractured marble/granite bedrock with a lot of hydrologic activity.

If a news story comes along that could interfere with the profit of the owners of the NYT, what do you think their intent would be?

ITS TOO CHEAP TO METERINOOOOOOOO!!!

“Analysis of the stool has indicated that its producer subsisted largely on meat and bread, despite evidence suggesting that other people at the same place and time had access to fruits, leeks, shellfish, and nuts. The presence of several hundred parasitic eggs suggests the person was riddled with intestinal worms.”

Amazing

That’s not a normal thing to happen to anyone once.

Thread had me thinking back on all the dumb shit people had pulled pistols on me for & had one of those moments when you realize “Oh shit this really isnt normal everywhere else on the planet huh? Fuck me.”

Good post

The average person has no idea just how juicy they are. All sorts of juices, just leakin’ everywhere on occasion. Why, I myself musta seen at least a dozen flavors of peoplejuice in my time, and i’m sure ive only begun to broach that catalog.

Fuck yeaa

So was the newly born Russian Federation. It would have been a fair fight

“Talking about continued US support for genocide makes us look bad, how can we talk about this without actually talking about this? No good answers here”

SpaceX works because the US is happy to privatize and sell NASA off piecemeal. Its been propped up by federal money since its inception.

Yoink. Sorry US navy, you never said no takesie-backsies.

Ammonium Nitrate is also commonly found in those one-time use coldpacks. Thought people may find that interesting.

No visible working ignition source: How it that bic supposed to ignite something? You hope the guy idly flicks it?

Liquid fuel: Only thing capable of exploding is the vapors, which are almost certainly not at the correct fuel/air ratio to combust, much less explode. Even Molotovs dont explode, and you aerosolize that mixture with the impact.

No pressure vessel: Lets assume the first two dont apply. The body of the bomb is an unsealed pladtic petrol can. Should any pressure build up in there it’ll either vent out the rag hole, or pop the plastic along the seam without propelling anything. You have to have a pressure wave to have a boom by definition, This would just kinda burn itself into a puddle.

This barely qualifies as an incindiary device, much less an “explosive”. A bag of unsecured fireworks in the trunk is more dangerous.

GOOD post

This “bomb” is completely incapable of exploding, even if you took the initiative to light it on fire yourself.

That is just the idea of a bomb. This is a simulacra of a threat. Cici n’est pas une bombe.
