"If you blended all 7.88 billion people on Earth into a fine goo (density of a human = 985 kg/m3, average human body mass = 62 kg), you would end up with a sphere of human goo just under 1 km wide," Reddit contributor kiki2703 wrote in a post I've since bookmarked for sharing at the family barbeques I'm no longer allowed to attend.

Caffeine was shown to increase brain signal complexity, and shift the brain closer to a state of 'criticality', in tests run by researchers from the University of Montreal in Canada. This criticality refers to the brain being balanced between structure and flexibility, thought to be the most efficient state for processing information, learning, and making decisions.

Many researchers consider the technology the only means to reduce transit times to the point that a mission will fall within NASA's career radiation limit of ~600 millisieverts (mSv). Kingdon's study challenges this prevailing assumption and advances the theory that a 90-day transfer can be achieved using conventional propulsion.

Morning glory plants live in symbiosis with fungi that produce the same ergot alkaloids the Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann modified when he invented LSD in the late 1930s.
Hofmann hypothesized that a fungus in morning glories produced alkaloids similar to those in LSD, but the species remained a mystery until Hazel and Panaccione's discovery.

The site looks like an ordinary Star Wars fan website from around 2010. But starwarsweb.net was actually a tool built by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to covertly communicate with its informants in other countries.

This site is self hosted. It runs in my living room, inside a FreeBSD virtual machine, running on a Synology 920+ NAS. My home internet has 40Mbs upload. Yesterday, my post reached main page on the Orange Site. My home machine and my home internet didn't even break a sweat. There was no interruption, there was no alerts on GPU melting, there was not even a fan to be heard.
