    With global warming they’re adapting to higher temperatures, so it wouldn’t suprise me if they start eating us alive eventually

          Welcome to planet Earth. Anything and everything can and will kill you given the chance. The dominant megafauna has evolved to suffer from congenital paranoia and hoarding to cope with it, which allowed them to conquer every part of the globe despite self destructive tendencies. Enjoy your trip.

    Haha this is by a shroom shop called Wholecelium, that’s their mascot. They are/were pretty active on reddit for a while.

    An interesting thing about atoms is that all atoms of the same isotope are fundamentally identical. In other words, they’re not just the same as far as we can tell. They are absolutely the same. This challenges human intuition about identity, because while an atom can be said to have a specific history, there is literally no trace of that history in the atom itself. If God swapped two atoms of the same sort, only he could ever know.

    Consider software. You downloaded your copy of My Little Pony: The Movie from a particular source, but if that source turned out to be disgusting you wouldn’t have any urge to delete your copy and then download a new copy from someone else. Atoms ought to be considered like software in this way.

    (This is relevant because “eating” involves breaking food down into individual molecules.)
