Seeing videos like this makes me realize that we do truly have to integrate ourselves with technology or else we will be burned a fucking live by our on creations.
A special eye protein is helping birds to “see” Earth’s magnetic field! If that’s not cool, I don’t know what is.
The ability to see Earth’s magnetic field, known as magnetoreception, relies on the presence of specifically the blue wavelength of light. The complex process involves “radical” intermediate molecules which are sensitive to Earth’s magnetic field. The Earth’s magnetic field, as it relates to the direction the bird is facing, could alter the intermediate radical molecules differently, giving the bird a sense for where it is facing in relation to the Earth’s magnetic field.
While the exact way birds visualize Earth’s magnetic field is part of further investigation, scientists believe the Cry4 protein acts as sort of a filter over the bird’s vision. This filter would allow birds to see a sort of compass of the Earth and direct their migratory flights accordingly.
That’s Kyle Franklin! He’s an amazing stunt pilot, who likes to play the “drunk stealing a plane” routine. Seriously, some of the shit he’s pulling in these flights is truly, utterly terrifying – I love watching it.
Follow your dreams, indeed.
Honestly, this being fake somehow makes it more amazing. Doing dumb shit whilst drunk, we’ve all been there. This dude intentionally flies EVEN MORE DANGEROUSLY THAN USUAL for the purpose of making himself look like a drunk taking a chance. That is goddamn WILD.
alcohol culture is so wild…people all over fb will be sharing a meme like “i can’t have just one glass of wine, it’s always 2 bottles and 3 people i can never look in the eye again” as if that’s normal? but if a meme like that was going around about cocaine or any other drug, everyone would be like “sounds like a drug problem bruh”
alcoholism is SO normalized and it’s such a toxic environment honestly
This article is a fascinating and horrifying observation of alcohol culture in present-day America – especially in the context of women and the “wine mom” attitude seen on Facebook in particular. It’s one of the most eye-opening things I’ve ever read, tbh.
