полоски зебры служат не только камуфляжем от хищников, но и для отпугивания кровососущих насекомых


Выяснилось, что полоски зебры служат не только камуфляжем от хищников, но и для отпугивания кровососущих насекомых. Полоски не мешают мухам и слепням находить жертву, тут они справляются, но проблемы возникают при посадке: у насекомого "сбивается" оптика. Муха оценивает скорость, с которой визуальные контуры объекта расширяются в ее поле зрения, и на основе этого автоматически корректирует свою скорость, чтобы вовремя затормозить. Высококонтрастный черно-белый узор ломает эту зрительную систему.

В СССР была самая лучшая медицина? Да, все познаётся в сравнении!


США, 1925 год.

Врач говорит пациенту, что он выглядит изможденным, и выписывает ему тонизирующее средство. Это дистиллированная вода с радием. Продано четыреста тысяч бутылок с медицинской рекламой, а сталелитейный магнат по имени Eben Byers, выпивший полторы тысячи, похоронен в 1932 году в свинцовом гробу. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eben_Byers

Перед смертью Eben Byers весил около 40 кг. Ему полностью удалили почти всю верхнюю челюсть и часть нижней, а в костях черепа образовались отверстия.

Немного этимологии


Ангел — просто вестник. В «Илиаде» angelos — это обычный человек, приносивший известие.
Энтузиазм — религиозный экстаз. Буквально en — внутри, theos — бог. Шоссе Энтузиастов недоумевает.
«Симпозиум» — совместное распитие спиртных напитков. Из древнегреческого (syn - вместе, с и posis — пью). Ученые прекрасно это знают и сами. Syn звучит во множестве слов, например в симфонии + phone — голос.

Okay I shared this article because I'm interested in tourism, not because it's correct. For one, it shows nominal totals, not per-capita. USA population is 8 times bigger than Spain. Some countries are much bigger than others, by land mass. How does that affect the analysis?

But also, the analysis is completely fucked. Noone can believe this puny attempt at statistics! As soon as it showed that Colombia is #1 earner from tourism, above Brazil, I knew this "data" is complete nonsense. Brazil is huge, compared to Colombia. Brazil would blow Colombia out of the water in any absolute measure.

So I asked my cheating lying friend, chatgpt about it. Yes I always call it a cheating, lying entity because that's what it is, and it also has a loaded gun and points it directly at you. I don't need to trust gpt, I just need it to give me an alternative opinion. According to the gpt, Colombia generated $2.865B in 2025 from tourism, and Brazil generated $7.8B.

These numbers at least align with my own expectations. The infographic above is complete nonsense.
