Imo people aren't buying enough lab gems. Diamonds can come from all kinds of fucked up places, but lab gems can only come from laboratories. Like, they literally don't naturally exist on earth. They can do all kinds of cool things too, like fluoresce or change color under UV light or depending on the angle that you're viewing it at. They're vastly superior to diamonds for jewelry purposes but they're not very common so the only affordable ones tend to be cast-offs.

Wtf is this? I kinda love it and hate it at the same time.

They probably don't care about their kids, and the ones who do probably think their money will protect them and their kids when the time comes.

Tbh, I think billionaires believe they're normal or are a somehow superior breed. They may not realize how disgusting their behavior is and that humans are getting really sick of them; and that no, most humans would absolutely not behave like them if given the chance.

Maybe don't eat that strawberry. If it's collecting a nice coat of chest hair then it might be time to throw it out.

Edit: I can't get over how smug that man looks about his chest hair. He expects for you to be impressed, and ngl, I kinda am.

Based as fuck.

For the jealous straight peasants: it's because the close straight friend almost certainly knows what is okay to joke about and respects that.

The awkward kiss almost convinced me it was real. Almost. The kneeling photo is a bit jank and hard to believe, but the kiss being so awkward is so believable that it almost convinced me lol.

Lemme guess. It was extra-solar?

But evidence has been mounting in recent years that the roughly six-mile-wide impactor belonged to a family of asteroids that formed beyond the orbit of Jupiter, and that rarely impact Earth.

... The siliceous asteroids that impact Earth usually come from the asteroid belt. But it is still unclear how a massive carbonaceous asteroid ended up on a collision course with our planet. One possible origin is a population of carbonaceous asteroids that exists today at the outer edge of the asteroid belt. Though these rocks initially formed beyond Jupiter, scientists think that gravitational instabilities in the early solar system launched them inward to their current position.

I was sorta-kinda right (it came from further out than usual). Sounds like it might have belonged to a relatively unstudied group of asteroids. I wonder why siliceous asteroids are closer to the sun and carbonaceous ones are further away.

Many mysteries remain about the Chicxulub impact, as well as about the broader role that asteroid strikes have played in the emergence and evolution of life on Earth — and, potentially, other planets. Carbonaceous asteroids have wiped out untold species in our planet’s past, but they may have also helped seed Earth with water, and other essential ingredients for life, at the dawn of the solar system.

How interesting 🤔

I'm just amazed at the idea that a chemist would put anything in a lab near their mouth. Like, even ignoring acids, there are so many nasty chemicals that are toxic on a measure of parts-per-million or parts-per-billion that I'd be too concerned about accidentally getting a molecule on my lips. I remember reading about how dimethylmercury is so nasty that if you come into contact with it your only chance of survival is to grab a butcher knife and immediately hack off the contaminated limb (that's kinda hyperbole, but it's nasty shit).

Then you have basically anything that contains fluorine.

Maybe those were the days before they discovered the "instantly kill you dead with a single molecule" chemicals.
