30:55 The ivory trade is completely illegal in pretty much any country that has a functioning government. With one major exception- if the ivory is over 100 years old, it's considered antique and is legal. I know because I volunteer with a local creative reuse (like a thrift store but for art supplies, fabric, school supplies, and antiques) and we got a solid ivory hand mirror donated. We were almost certain that it was antique because the mirror's surface had dark spots (this only happens with silver mirrors when they get old; modern aluminium ones don't do this without the application of acid) and because of the motifs used in the carvings, but we immediatly reported it to the local authorites anyways. They tested it in the lab using radiocarbon dating to see what year the animal it came from had been killed. They came back with "1820s to 1860s" and we were given it back, along with a lab certificate showing it was genuinely antique, and a thanks from the lab for reporting just in case. We then could legally sell it through our online store, and it was bought within an hour of its posting (for like $700 too. We used that money to host free art workshops for underprivileged kids in the community).

Able was I ere I saw Elba 7. For every heart, you're the beat 8. A wise man does not fall in love The other 7 for the curious: 9. Say love is too early, like it 10. I'll try anything once 11. Sometimes ever, sometimes never (again, but with a different Chinese sentence; Google translated it as 'Sometimes we meet, but sometimes we never') 12. Like is a choice Love is not for you 13.

[@Cuddly-Cactus]

@Meximagician Amazing! And very cool of you to provide this interesting information indeed! And allow me to add one more tidbit about the information you so kindly complied here for all of us... Fun Fact - #6: Able was I ere I saw Elba Is in fact a palindrome, which is a phrase or sentence that reads the same backwards and forwards. And it's my personal favorite on this list since I am both dyslexic and completely obsessed with palindromes and have been since I first learned how to read and write. (So basically, I'm like an idiot savant, in that I read and write things backwards. However, fortunately for me, my level of dyslexia is clearly mild.) So as soon as I read that particular sentence my Rain Man-esque brain clocked it as a palindrome, and I was sitting here thinking, "Oh cool! A new palindrome to add to my collection!" Yes, I do indeed have a laundry list of palindromes that I have both created and collected over the years. And thus here's a few highlights from my curated collection: Do geese see God? Eva! Can I stab bats in a cave?! A santa lived as a devil at NASA Satan Oscillate My Metallic Sonatas Mr. Owl ate my metal worm Rats live on no evil star No sir, away, a papaya war is on!

[@larunaaxthemischievous9762]

Cry rooms should be mandatory in pretty much every public space, and it’s both for the sanity of already stressed out adults but because babies often cry due to overstimulation caused by public spaces, especially noise

[@Cuddly-Cactus]

@larunaaxthemischievous9762 Honestly, I don't think you realize it but you just made the case for cry rooms to be nonexistent. And I personally would love that if any establishment wants to ban people from bringing babies and small children into places like theaters and cinemas (and even upscale restaurants) then they should be able to enact such a policy if they wish to do so. (And yes, I do realize that businesses have the right to refuse services to anyone, however it's unfortunately been mostly negative since places that tend to act on that policy are doing so sheerly out of hatred, so yes, that should definitely not be allowed. Like we have non-discrimition laws for that very reason. But I digress.) And I mean, it's completely selfish and rude behavior from the parents to bring babies and children that are so young that they cannot sit in their seat and be quite for 2 plus hours, so it's unfair to all the other patrons and to the children as well. Like you pointed out, babies and little kids tend to easily get upset and cry or throw tantrums from over stimulation from being in busy and loud public places. (And if you really got a screaming and crying baby or just a disruptive child that cannot be quite and sit still, then you should be thrown out of the theater faster than Lauren Bober and her "date" at Beetlejuice!) Besides, it's the year 2024 we have access to copious amounts of entertainment that people can easily, cheaply and comfortably enjoy at home. Not to mention the fact that if people can afford 1 or 2 adult tickets and children's tickets to go to a movie or attend a play, then they certainly can afford to hire a baby sitter for a few hours. (And it literally makes no sense to pay all that money for tickets, to only then miss out on most of a movie or a performance because you get up out of your seat and go sit out in a cry room for only God knows how long, and do that more than once. It's completely stupid and a waste of money.)

All clouds have water droplets and ice crystals. Every once in a while a small pocket of clouds will “supercool”. Meaning the ice crystals get so heavy that they fall through leaving a gap or in this case they evaporate completely leaving that “hole”. They are usually triggered by airplanes passing through the cloud layer but they can on occasion happen spontaneously.

[@ShaggyTheClown17]

the extra finger is apparently called "polydactyly" and incredibly rare here duplicate muscles n tendons are also formed because most of the time it's either really hard to move or don't move at all... supposedly a "mutation" but with that word being insanely vague and not really even provable nor decipherable from a genetic variation since gene expression can switch on and off for many reasons during reproduction as the DNA cards are shuffled. Think of it like this, you have the genetic ability to have different colored eyes, but your eye color is what was chosen as the genes to be expressed in your appearance. Which gives the ability for you to then have kids who may very likely have your eye color or a different one. We've all heard about "dominant and recessive" genes but this doesn't really mean what it sounds like. lol

The lines on your fingers (and other joints) are creases. If the joint doesn't work, the crease doesn't form.

14:35 I'm not sure if this is that, but I think so, in Maine- there is a town that doesn't allow modern commercial buildings , McDonald's in other places operate out of vintage homes with unchanged architecture

The lines in your fingers, as well as the ones on your palms are from bending them. Every time you bend them it creases the skin just a little, leaving permanent creases in the skin. They will probably even go away if you stop bending your fingers for long enough. It would be extremely hard to do this though, since that would take months, or maybe years, and we bend our fingers constantly for just about everything.

29:50 looks like their additional fingers were just accessory digits, meaning they kinda resemble fingers but lack most of the structure and aren't functional. Often it's just a blob of skin with a nail growing from a stalk, it's easily removed by a surgeon.

22:07 Private development maybe? Some areas allow privately owned communities to make their own road signs that don't need to follow the same rules, but the community management is often liable for damages caused by poor signage.

for the bruise you can make them have a lot of designs. A nurse who was never told no tried to put a line in(IV) despite it not being good conditions to do so and i had a designated area to put an iv in. Blew the vain. we put a patterend ice or hot pad on it. took it off a bit later only to find the pattern infused on to me.

Wrong. I doubt the green juice has an addictive as I recently found out in Italy it's illegal to add food dyes in juices and other products. I found the list online: coffe, chocolate, torrone (a type of traditional Christmas dessert), vinegar, fruit juices, wine, beer, oil, water, bread, for some reason rice noodles, sugar, honey, meat and fish. This has to be done because the public has to see the food in it's original colour, otherwise it is considered fraud for the lack of genuinenes or it's state of alteration (I'm guessing if they did something to the food and dyed to to make it look like nothing was done to it). Also we classify dyes by letters. If you go to Europe and a product has a dye intended for a surface or wrapping (think of a cheese crust) the dye has the letter C before the number. Otherwise if it's an edible dye it has the letter E before it. So if you read a label and see something like E followed by a small string of numbers you're reading the correct labelling for a dye indredient. In short it's a food dye, not some weird chemical. I also read that since 2010 in Europe on products containing dyes where extensive research has been done, and proof came out that they have an effect on children, there have to be warnings on labels. And if a product contains a safe plant based dye (like beetroot or carrot derivatives) but in the product it is used to possibly hide the quality of the product it has to be listed as an ingredient. Man European food laws are very strict.

The cruellest prank - go to the supermarket and shake all the cream cartons until they become butter, then put them back on the shelf

[@sapphicatsushi]

how long will this take

[@tzisorey]

@@sapphicatsushi a very good question. I know I've made cream into butter in a jar in about a minute once - but I dont know if not having free space in the container would make it slower or not. I know it's easier if it's colder.
