    Is it as maneuverable as those heavily modified planes?

    It's not about raw speed in those races.

    I’ve got shark week in in the background and just found out that great whites have been biting sea otters. They haven’t been eating them but one bite from a great white is lethal to an otter. So many otters have been bitten that they could drive the southern sea otter to extinction.

    The reason the taste of artificial banana flavoring and artificial banana flavored products doesn’t taste like bananas is because it is based on a type of banana that was wiped out by a plague in the 1950’s.

    The water that we drink today is the same water that dinosaurs were drinking hundreds of millions of years ago.

    Inside neutron stars are a state of matter that unlike anything else out there. Most matter that we know of is made of up and down quarks bound into atoms. Inside neutron stars is matter that is so compressed that it is a soup of quarks including charmed and strange quarks that have been detected only briefly in experiments. Because this type of matter could be stable outside of the neutron stars and might be so stable that if it contacts any other matter it will turn it into more quark soup so it is the most dangerous stuff in the universe.

    I learned that I can literally make something bad up off the top of my head about Bill Gates and Dr Fauci, place it on a background, and Trump supporters will share it all over facebook as if it were true.

    I actually saw people post obvious piece of fiction as true.

    That people are so starved for attention they start posting in the D&D because the other forums are not as active.
