But, good research to do.
"[In] 2026 we don’t know if people are farting at night or not.”
That's like saying we don't know if people are snoring at night.
Anyone who's ever laid awake in a room with sleeping people knows for a fact that people fart at night. (Though more often when half-roused.)
Years ago, we built the Hades Underworld Explorer, where with a simple drag and drop, users can make their own cross sections of the Earth's mantle.
The Hades Underworld Explorer now has its own web address!
Have a peak of your own into the underworld!

ah, I clicked around everything else lol, including the row of hieroglyphics
No, it's the Chicago that's wrong (principal skinner meme).
JSTOR lists the date just fine, as a webpage should.
Am I missing it or do you have to have institutional access (or money) and get the full article to find the publish date?
Why is this not simply listed near the author names?
I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language?
Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries.
So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together.

Exactly; the absence of data is data itself.
and sometimes "data available upon request" is the biggest joke
Chart from linked article, showing what % of of each major fertilizer type (nitrogen, phosphorus, & potassium) the US imports, 2000-2024. N has gone down from 21% imported to 6%. Phosphorus is a little up from 2% to 13%. Potassium has gone from 76% to 94%.
The US already makes 96% of the N fertilizer we use.
The fertilizer we import the most is POTASSIUM. Which we get from CANADA.
When we import phosphorus, we get 98% of it from PERU. Not Iran.
So the reason we've had trouble getting those is TARIFFS.

But not able to feed at the same scale.
Big fossil-driven agrifarming is not sustainable but without it we'll lose a few billion people. Unless we could ramp up some of those newer Haber-Bosch methods (just ran across one that spits out vinegar as a plus).
My brain sees these Tar Plains stretching out like Lake Bonneville, with autonomous and not-really-sentient machines, looking like sailboats on wheels, moving around in large flocks.
I would watch a film with this opening scene.
Duran Duran had a weird song called The Chauffeur, with this opening text;
Out on the tar plains
the glides are moving.
All looking for a new place to drive...
Enschede bein all like, we are funckin DONE with these assholes

A drawing of a brown minotaur with an artist's pen gesturing towards a spread of several sample images, labelled "Commissions" "Bugs" and "Illustration". The title "CuttleDreams" is on top. The overall design has a 90's influence with tilted angles and shapes scattered around.
Hello! I am a commission artist and hobbyist bug illustrator that enjoys fun colors, weird shapes, and trying new things.
Check out my Ko-fi for commission listings, or for other inquiries reach out to me at CuttleDreams@protonmail.com
The fungi on the tori amos album haunted me for decades
prototaxites might not be fingus! they've got some weird to them, might be their own thing entirely.
Something I vaguely remember from a cartoon when I was little, they were these swampy goo-covered things that swallowed anything that entered their swamp.
#Chemchat, take a look at this.
if they were green they'd look like Greedy Greenies.
Last month they tried to quietly redefine disabilities by a medication's effectiveness. Luckily... veterans are used to being targeted and we rallied quickly to shut that down. They are not done trying to rip health care away from us all.

got a geochemist character and he has a different awful pun shirt each time he shows up.
Even "How did we learn the age of the Earth?
One Thing Pb To Another"
where the last line is a badly-drawn uranium decay chain
omg
has anyone done a fabric joke yey?
ER doc here. I’ve seen patients walk out during heart attacks and other life-threatening emergencies because no one could feed their pets at home. Imagine the lives saved if free emergency pet care existed.
oooooo I love these beasties!
adding that to my mental collection of Bad Geology Pun shirts
Don't know if this is New Madrid; there's talk of these (there are several quakes now) being fracking-caused.
