[@louisgonzales5764]

Fun fact: the placenta is, in fact, the baby’s organ. The placenta belongs to the fetus and does everything in its power to burrow to the mother’s blood vessels to provide as much nutrients as possible to the fetus. The mother’s body actively tries to counter these attempts, making it a 9-month long battle of resources between the two, in which the best case scenario is a draw.

[@KipSunChaser]

I fell asleep watching this video, and it prompted me to have a dream where I was a detective in a case where a restaurant came out with a new "vegan meat" that everyone was eating, but the "vegan meat" was actually unborn babies and placenta. It was WILDLY successful, there were huge lines of people who came to try it and didn't understand how it tasted so much like real meat but was completely "vegan". That's when me and my detective partner got involved, interrogating the creator and the chefs at the restaurant to find scientific documents and sneaking into the kitchens to take samples of the food. The case was never solved.

[@omnitoad2187]

See, here's what I think happened with the flail. Arin respawned, and the flail respawned with him. But the programmers just used the default physics settings without thinking about it. So from the perspective of the flail, it moves from the location where Arin died, to the location he respawns in an instant, giving it insanely high velocity and, therefore, insanely high momentum, which caused the shark to spin wildly and the game physics to be broken until the drag function slowed it down to manageable levels. I notice this a lot in games where characters have flowy clothes or capes, they spawn somewhere and their clothes go CRAZY.
