Timepiece with the fewest moving parts:

Sundial.

Timepiece with the most moving parts:

Hourglass.

#technically I think the timepiece with the smallest moving parts would be an atomic clock #probably also the most moving parts #step aside sand. we’ve got gas atoms and laser photons now

dandelions deserve more respect than they get

you say “weeds” I say “widespread non-native edible plant and early-blooming pollinator resource that is not considered invasive because it behaves politely and does not cause deleterious ecological consequences”

Fun little math trick I find really helpful: the ratio of a mile to a kilometer is within 1% of the Golden Ratio. That means that if you have a good memory for Fibonacci numbers (1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89) you can convert pretty accurately by taking consecutive Fibonacci numbers.

For example, 89 kilometers is really close to 55 miles (55.3). Or, say you need to convert 26 miles to kilometers: 26 can be written as 21 plus 5, so taking the next Fibonacci number up gives 34 and 8, meaning it should be around 42 kilometers. Sure enough, it's 41.8 km!

Found my 53yo very-much-not-online father in the kitchen today meticulously arranging cutlery on the countertop and i was like 'what are you doing' and he looked up at me with the world's most shit-eating grin and said "Your mother told me this is how you rick-roll the Youth" and i looked over and it was fucking.

I love animals that are, like, the opposite of cryptids: we know for a fact they exist and have a clear idea of what they look like because we have photographs and individual specimens, but we haven’t the faintest idea where they’re coming from - they just keep showing up out of nowhere, and the locations of their actual population centres are a complete mystery.

This year has been quite trying, but I'm happy that I discovered a love of making these horse animations in 2023.

The problem with both of my parents, one of my siblings, and many of my friends being lawyers is that we do a lot of shop talk, often while chatting on the phone. And so it feels very natural to end a phone call with, "I think I'll file a motion on it. Okay. Before close of businesses today. Have a great day. Love you, bye."

Which is not the correct way to end a phone call with opposing counsel
