“Wild FOX” by Milan Krasula

incoherrant:

The puns are strong with this line.

But seriously, these guys could have been so awesome. But then anthro /fighting sdf how did “fire boar” become an infernape/hariyama crossbreed.

I love how casual this is like, this is just what life would be like if pokemon were real.

Stibnite, Sb₂S₃. 

Stibnite gets its name from the old word for the element antimony, stibium. This is also where antimony’s curious Sb symbol comes from. For this confusion, we have Jöns Jacob Berzelius to thank.

Hmm I wonder who first discovered the element Stibium
Looks like it was known to the ancients for a while

Mystery of Prince Rupert’s Drop at 130,000 fps

Another interesting video by Destin at SmarterEveryDay demonstrating the mystery of the Prince Rupert’s Drop. Watch it here.

What’s cool is that the glass droplet actually explodes from damaging the tail — i.e. hitting the head with the hammer isn’t what breaks it — and so the high tension left over from it’s formation releases, starting a chain reaction at ~1 mile/second. Awesome!

If Earth Had Rings

First off, they would be really pretty to look at. They would also dominate the sky in both night and day at exactly the same place as they would never rise nor set. And at night you would see the Earth’s shadow swing across the rings, like in the 4th photo here.

However, life would be very different on Earth if this were the case. Nocturnal animals would have a hard time being nocturnal, as the light reflecting from the rings would illuminate the night.

Because we are closer to the Sun than Saturn is, the rings would be more rocky than ice, making them less bright but still pretty bright. In fact, you would see far less stars at night (living anywhere other than the equator or the arctic circle) because of the light pollution and not to mention ruin most meteor showers because of that.

During the day the rings would block sunlight in certain regions of the planet creating wild weather cycles and effecting plant life as well. So basically, they would be definitely pretty to look at but they would also make a whole lot of things screwy.

Fizz The Tidal Trickster by *RinTheYordle

Oh Fizz, you’re such a tricky Fish!

I’ve studied him a lot while following Heimer around on the fields. Such a strange character… I feel bad that he’s the last of his kind, though. Many speculate he’s a long lost relative of Yordles. Who knows?
