f things that make my brain go vroom neuroscience color science vision science astronomy performance studies etymology dress fashion history home ask archive my posts nifty facts tasty concepts butchyena dude falseficus i knew a surgeon and he once told me nobodys insides look like how the textbooks say they will you never know what you re going to find in there once you open them up and that was easily the most ominous thing anyone s ever said to me brownheadedcowbird when i was taking my first year anatomy lab we d occasionally find a cadaver where things would branch off or attach in the wrong order and when we d ask our prof about it he d just shrug and say they must not have read the book ryannorth when my friend was in med school one of the cadavers donated for them to autopsy didn t have a belly button just smooth skin dandelion stuff and fluff in the past 10 years of teaching in an anatomy lab i have seen a donor with a scrotum the size of my head when we opened it up we discovered it was a massive inguinal hernia and a good 1 5 ft of intestine were trapped down there a donor with situs inversus totalis whose organs were a mirror image of what we normally see ie their heart pointed right and their liver was on the left just for starters a donor whose right common carotid artery branched off the aorta waaay over on the left hand side of the body and crossed alllll the way back across the thorax to get where it needed to be a donor with 4 lobes for their right lung should only be 3 we named the 4th lobe the lisa loeb but all of the students were too young to appreciate our sparkling wit a shocking variety of penile and breast implants y all would not believe the number of different ways science has come up to counteract gravity a couple of cases of ectopic kidneys where a kidney didn t rise to its typical position just deep to the lowest ribs and instead stayed in the pelvis there is probably some other stuff that i am forgetting take home point is the human body is weird and wonderful and you should learn more about yours brightlotusmoon duuude naamahdarling spleens georg stele3 14 my contribution client co pinched nerve in l side of neck i asked about health hx she said i ve got some extra ribs on that side me some some was 2 but that s crazy enough cactusspatz yeah i don t discover the anatomical weirdness but i ve had clients come in with extra ribs missing ribs extra vertebra accessory muscles that s when you have duplicates sometimes fine sometimes not bones connected where they shouldn t be spoiler if your lumbar spine is connected to your hip it causes problems all sorts of stuff bodies are weird headspace hotel more from the notes this made me remember that i had a friend in high school who had one thumb that was like half an inch shorter than the other not sure how that happened weaselle even the things you never think about are a spectrum friday 250456 reblog like how varied the human anatomy medicine autopsy gender trash if astrology was real it ought to be affected by anthropogenic space objects imagine being like yeah this month has sucked for me bc the iss is in sagittarius gender trash ok but the iss orbital period is 90 minutes it would only be in sagittarius for 10min at a time is this a safe space to confess i don t actually know what it means for an object to be in an astrological house goelzma my understanding is that you split the universe into twelve orange slices centered on earth vertical to the equator and fixed relative to the stars so sagittarius refers to a particular area volume of the sky and an object is in sagittarius if it s physically located there vacuously true that is basically correct we know now that all the stars in the universe are in motion and very fast as well but they are so far away their apparent motion on the 2d surface we see as the sky is essentially zero so the vast majority of the surface of a sphere we see looking up at the sky is a fixed tapestry unchanging at least on the scale of human lifetimes it can be carved up into regions which we call constellations and which are named for the prominent asterisms in those regions planet comes from greek for wanderer the seven planets in that sense are mercury venus mars jupiter saturn luna and sol the moon and the sun and they are called wanderers because they wander with respect to the fixed stars we say they re in a constellation when they visually appear in that area of the tapestry it actually tells you where they are in the sky if you want to look for them we name other stuff after the constellations they re in too you may have heard of proxima centauri b an earth like planet it orbits the star proxima centauri which is in the constellation centaurus proxima centauri is in the alpha centauri star system which has three stars and is labeled on this map beta centauri another triple star system is also labeled on this map because the planets are all in the same plane they only move through 12 constellations that s the red line on the constellation map the iss actually doesn t orbit in the plane of the solar system tho so i m pretty sure it s capable of passing through constellations off of the ecliptic i m also suspicious that low earth orbit might be close enough to the ground that different locations on earth s surface would see iss as being in different constellations at the same time here s the iss orbit inclination as well as hubble that means we could get really weird with it if we wanted to why bitch about iss in sagittarius when you could bitch about it in pegasus or hydra hubble in lepus or lynx vacuously true the stellarium app has satellite info and i can tell you that as i post this iss is in carina and hubble is in sculptor this does appear to vary by location on earth i m in minneapolis usa but when i changed my in app location to santiago chile these satellites were shown in different constellations so yes leo is close enough to earth that earth location changes what constellation satellites appear in vacuously true to clarify i do not endorse astrology but saying the sun or venus or iss is in a constellation isn t astrology it s not pseudoscience it s regular science it s just understanding how a star map works that s astronomy thursday 798 reblog like genuinely did not understand the x in y verbiage before this and i d also always vaguely wondered what the centauri was that proxima centauri was proximal to neat astrology is pseudoscience astronomy i fuckin love space omg star maps the more you know vacuously true technically seven hours faster than biking way slower and more expensive than amtrak tho my friend enjoyed the process video and said i should add it to the post so here it is keep reading thursday 528 reblog like hfjshfjsjdjs why did i think that was a ufo at first artemis ii artemis mission good post nasa lettuce tv don t go into the humanities because they re unprofitable and don t go into stem cuz its getting torn apart right now and don t go into buisness because it s competetive and speculative and don t go into education because it pays like shit just lay on thr ground just lay on the ground friday 58318 reblog like cries in academic the state of the world victusinveritas like this sort of thing follow sluttyprimarysource on threads and think about reading consider the fork by bee wilson swimmingblue yeah it s absolutely a class thing framed as a manners thing because advanced table manners are like a lot of other things in this category it takes ages to pick up the complicated shit so it marks haves vs have nots like if you look at a moderately fancy table setting like below someone who s never seen this shit before would be way out of their depth they would come out looking stupid when it s just that they ve not been taught and this is probably at an occasion when they want to look good like a wedding or a big work event or whatever friday 20300 reblog like on society etiquette forks cutlery history history of food keirametzbrassknuckles rip richard serra you made so many people so so so mad keirametzbrassknuckles in honor of this guy s passing let me once again tell the story of my favorite piece of art ever tilted arc commissioned by the us government in 1979 the work was made up of a 12x120 foot sheet of cor ten steel which bisected foley federal plaza in manhattan that s it just a sheet of metal in a plaza between several government buildings it doesnt do anything but it made people so angry and also made the best argument i ve ever seen for the worth of public art keep reading friday 31185 reblog like public art modern art public spaces art on art ironychan i submit to you that the most iconic feature of any animal is either unlikely or impossible to fossilize if all we had of wolves were their bones we would never guess that they howl if all we had of elephants were fossils with no living related species we might infer some kind of proboscis but we d never come up with those ears if all we had of chickens were bones we wouldn t know about their combs and wattles or that roosters crow we wouldn t know that lions have manes or that zebras have stripes or that peacocks have trains that howler monkeys yell that cats purr that deer shed the velvet from their antlers that caterpillars become butterflies that spiders make webs that chickadees say their name that canada geese are assholes that orangutans are ginger that dolphins echolocate or that squid even existed my point here is that we don t know anything about dinosaurs if we saw one we would not recognize it as my evidence i submit the above along with the fact that it took us two centuries to realize they d been all around us the whole time cheeseanonioncrisps xkcd heyyitsjayy so that people don t need to go through the notes we have fossils of spider webs paleontologists have reconstructed the larynx voice box of extinct animals and we have a pretty good idea what vocalizations they were capable of fossilized pigments have been found in a variety of taxa soft tissues fossilize more often than you think we have skin impressions for like 90 of tyrannosaurus rex s full body shoulder blades and neck are the only bits missing wemblingfool if pop culture is your only window into extinct animals then you do not remotely understand how much we know we know the entire lifecycle of a tyrannosaurus we know from the sheer amount of remains we have from every stange we know roughly how they sounded as the person above me said we know they had remarkable vision we know they had the second strongest sense of smell in history we know from their bones that they grew to a certain size and stayed there until about 14 or so then absolutely ballooned up to their adult size in about three or four years we know they likely lived in family groups because we have bones with certainly fatal injuries for a solitary animal broken legs and such that are completely healed we know exactly how other dinosaurs look down to colors and patterns because bones are not the only information that is preserved the sinosauropteryx is one such dinosaur because pigmentation molecules were preserved in the feather impressions we know it s colors and it s tail rings which one would argue would be it s iconic feature art credit julio lacerda microraptor is another we know from feather impressions that it had four wings we know from pigmentation that it was an iredecent black like a raven art credit vitor silva this is not limited to dinosaurs or feathers we ve found pigmentation in scales and skin we ve completely reconstructed two extinct penguins colors and all we ve figured out the colors of some non avian and non feathered dinosaurs we can identify evidence of feathers existing on animals without feather impressions we have feathered dinosaurs preserved in amber we can defer likely behavioral patterns through adaptations we see in bones and from the environments they were found in we can see how certain movements evolved through musculature attachments yes how muscles attached is often preserved we know avian flight likely evolved by accident by the way early raptorforms moved their arms to strike at their prey we also understand behavior in extant animals and can easily speculate likely behaviors in extinct animals a predator running for it s life is not going to exhibit hunting behaviors we learn and understand way more from rocks than paleontologists are given credit for and if you watch a movie like jurassic world which has no interest in portraying anything with any sort of accuracy and your take away is we can t possibly know anything about these animals then you don t understand science as for shrinkwrapped reconstructions we understand how muscles attach and how fat works artists who lean into shrinkwrapping are are not generally concerned with scientific accuracy or biology they re only concerned with awesombro if true paleoartists tried to reconstruct a hippo while they naturally would not get every bit correct it would certainly look like a real animal and not that alien monster that tumblr is so fond of using as proof that paleontologists don t know anything an art piece that itself was extreme and satirical and a condemnation of the particular subset of paleoartists i mentioned earlier every time paleoblr tries to show you how extinct animals actually looked all we get is a chorus of thanks i hate it and stop ruining dinosaurs fecktrecool deactivated20220314 loosing my shit at the knowledge that t rexes nursed their loved ones back to health shitposting for the soul lusus naturae lusus naturae deactivated20210 friday 196448 reblog like the more you know the construction of an intellect dinosaurs paleontology bucketofdeltav so my beta reader for the big fics is an astrophysicist right who is currently also writing a hard sci fi novel about the exploration of phobos more power to them i cannot with the physics required for that best i can do is soft sci fi fantasy and that reminds me i should finish that story anyway i was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in star wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the has jungles is probably a moon technically than wookieepedia will give you and they re like oh yeah i can do something about that so they ve written in matlab but they swear it will run as a exe as well and i may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point a star system generator you input what you know about the planet ecosystem population sun colour does it have liquid water does it have a moon or moons is it a moon or moons temperature averages atmosphere you get me and it will give you the everything else about the star system in obedience to real universe physics and if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system and i m like oh i know people who will be into this with a vengeance and they re not on tumblr so thi...
