Post a news story, entertain me!

If Voyager could zoom into earth and find me, would it see me where I was 20 hours ago?

Yes! And then it would take another 20 hours for the data to start coming back!

It would also imply that we’ve forgotten A LOT about the science of optics in the last 40 years.

Lismore NSW Australia, is flooded as f*ck.

Chafing will help you find that point real easy.

At least take a pause next month on April 10th.

Can we get auto updates from this website reminding us it is a medical day?

This could be the new anti bot technology!

Well the town was built on a flood plain that was a literal swamp. It was flooded even when they started building the town. It has had dozens of floods over the years. What do they expect? This is just a spot people shouldn’t lice and yet they keep building…

So now lead is the opiate of the masses?

This explains Fox News and Trump

No, that's Oxycodone.

From local news for me.

Charges filed against wrong-way driver who ran naked on I-380

I haven't read the full article but is the charge because he was driving the wrong way or because he was naked....? just curious what I can do.

Experts Say 98.6 Is No Longer Reliably the Average Body Temperature

The world’s “normal” body temperature was established back in the 19th century, and though most accept it as a reasonable average, doctors and scientists have always known that variables like gender, size, age, time of day, and other factors can play into the thermometer’s readout.
Recent research, though, shows that not only has the average body temperature dropped since it was established by Carl Reinhold in 1851, it’s dropped significantly just since the 1970s – about 0.05 degrees Fahrenheit per decade, based on your birth year, explains Dr. Julie Parsonnet.

“People are stuck on the 98.6 number, but that number has always been wrong. There’s never been a real number because people vary.”

Men born in the 2000s typically run about 1.06 degrees Fahrenheit lower than men born in the early 1800s. For women, they’re running around 0.58 degrees Fahrenheit lower than women born in the 1890s.

The researchers say it’s unclear what’s causing the continued decline, or what it could mean for our health moving forward. That people have grown both taller and heavier, and that metabolic rates have slowed, likely all factor in.

The fact that a good portion of the population in the mid-19th century could have been fighting diseases like syphilis, tuberculosis, and periodontal disease also means infections (and fevers) may have been raising the average.

I'm in rehearsal for a play where we are doing temperature checks and testing weekly. My temperature has been 97 - 97.5 for over a week...

We’ve been doing daily temp checks at work every day since March 2020 and I always seem to clock somewhere around 97.0

So we're literally becoming more cold-blooded.

I've always been about a degree down from 98.6. It becomes problematic when I have a low-grade fever that brings me up to 98.6 and medical professionals seem to ignore me that my normal is low.

I've attributed it to me potentially having a slow metabolism. I wonder if, as a society, we are becoming less active and our bodies are adapting?

It feels even weirder somehow in Celsius now that I've been living here so long and only use Celsius. I have googled "low temperature" as a symptom multiple times wondering if I felt ill because of that (36.0 C, which google tells me is 96.8 F).

Or maybe there's just more lizard people around now.
