That was a really interesting read! The only macrosopic single-celled organism I knew of was Valonia ventricosa. Now I know of 2! Thank you again for this effortpost

my delicate heterosexual skull is not a baseball!

No as the down with cis bus had a bunch of people enter onto it, these people brought their own bikes.

For sure! Biology is wonderful in that it will counter any assumption we make about it. Every rule, somewhere, is broken.

For the reverse kreb cycle, I typoed and said energy when I meant carbon! While we use the krebs cycle to generate units of energy currency, it used the reverse to make carbon from CO². It is a similar mechanism to how photosynthetic organisms use ambient carbon dioxide to make all of their biomass, but it is effectively running breathing in reverse to make its body.

It extracts energy from sulfides and nitrate, which is still really cool to me because these are inorganic materials. We think that all life is dependent on the sun/photosynthesis but you get chemoautotrophic exceptions like this and I love them.

I don’t have much to say other than….

That is so cool! I didn’t think there were any bacteria you could see with the naked eye

And im really curious how you can reverse the breathing process for a net gain in energy. I mean that really breaks my brain, it’s awesome

I truly appreciate that! I love microbes and will post about them forever and I am so glad you care to read about them!

these are some of the best posts on jstpst, i love science communications, please keep posting microbe mondays

no it's Biden-Harris vs Trump-Pence again

Is this Bi-Bike Gang somehow related to the Down-With-The-Cis Bus?

how many of them were sharing a motorcycle

perhaps they simply wanted to play baseball with you

Me too. No one likes it and no one knows why it's there, but it's been there for years cos no one wants to throw it out either

Bernie Sanders

I am obliged to side with the bi-ker gang, sorry my friend

check it out im carpet

when i first heard it i was like "oh haha" and immediately forgot about it. now whenever i'm not thinking about something my brain whispers to me "carpet. like carpet. carpet"

"check it out im in the house like carpet" has been living in my head for like a week now lol

that rules

my question is: who's gonna be the Joe Biden to Kamala Harris's Hillary Clinton?

same characters makes it funnier though

same story slightly different characters I think. they recast some roles between seasons

solid prediction. rfk is a good choice to speedrun pandemic 2. i think biden can make it to 2028 if we suspend his brain in a brine made from all the leftover infowars supplements

i still just use imgur whenever i have to do that

You're doing it!!

Okay will the real disneyplusoffiical please stand up
