Did you know/remember...... the last time you had a banana that was sweet? When I was younger bananas were almost candy like in terms of sweetness.....
If I find a sweet banana now it's a miracle....

they say im crazy but i have a good time
... thats because the bananas we eat today are not the same as the past...
before the 50's we mostly ate Gros Michel variety of bananas... now we eat cavendish bananas because of a disease. The Cavendish variety was more resistant to panama disease...
(if this was intentional or not, thats a different story
)

Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing.
The National Biscuit Company, producer of the Uneeda biscuit, was founded in 1898 but it wasn't until 1971 that they officially changed their name to

Second (time) and Second (2nd) are actually the same word/thing.
A second is called a second because it is the 2nd division of an hour by 60.
This blew my damn mind when I learned it the other week
So we would probably be correct in calling minutes "Firsts"

They say "pie" only coincidentally sounds like "pi", despite pies being round and slices being the length of the radius. Instead it is supposed to somehow be connected to magpie, allegedly due to magpies gathering disparate things and pies having varied ingredients. Of course THEY say that cuz they don't want math done with pastry.

Just don't put me on the "no pie list"

Oh
I'm already on that.

This works really well! Yams and Yuca also soothe my stomach really well when i have acidity problems. Also, any creamy dairy which is usually slightly basic is good for heart burn. Ice cream, stuff like that.
@His_Highness bananas continue to ripen even after being pulled from trees. I usually wait until they have a lot of black spots on the peel and then eat them. they're so sweet at that point

Guess while talking about bananas... Did you know bananas release Ethylene gas which will cause them to ripen faster. So if you put bananas in a sealed bag they'll ripen up a lot faster. Learned that working in the produce at Harris teeter.

Did you know that if we removed all the empty space between the nucleus and the electrons inside an atom, a human would fit inside a grain of salt. But would weight the same.
This is called the illusion of reality. We, and everything you see is all made of nearly nothing.

And if you believe Thomas Campbell, we don't even exist, reality is a simulation based on nothing but information (The matrix has you!). Hence the inexplicable quantum eraser double slit experiment!
Even Einstein couldn't accept quantum entanglement and called it 'spooky action at a distance', which has now been proved Einstein was wrong and it doesn't break his law of special relativity!

I love physics, can't do the maths, so I will never be able to truly appreciate the beauty and elegance and amazing power of Schrodinger's or Dirac's equations... but the theory and discussions surrounding it fascinates me and enthralls me.
From the Copenhagen interpretation to the many worlds principle... love it.. can't understand any of it though!
>> You keep surprising me
Why? Is because stoners are meant to be stupid, lazy, ignorant druggies

Ha i dont think that. No, because you seem to be very similar to me.

Around these parts...that's been the norm for me....
Photons take thousands of years to travel from the core of the Sun to the surface. Once they escape the Sun, photons only take eight minutes to reach Earth.
But from the photon's point of view (travelling at the speed of light), it all happens at the same time, of course. That is to say, in no time at all!
I love physics!
