#Throwback to one of my favorite memories in life- me and @PatMcAfeeShow so crazy and ironic Aaron Rodgers is on the Jets now and statement still stands😎🤟🔥

@anishmoonka This account really knows their pinecones

That pinecone in your bathroom is completely dead. Not a single cell in the whole thing is alive. And yet, the moment your shower fills the room with steam, it closes up on its own. Dead wood, reacting to moisture, all by itself. Each of those little wooden scales has two layers inside. The bottom layer soaks up water and swells by about 20%. The top layer barely moves. So when one side gets bigger and the other stays put, the whole scale bends upward and curls shut, same way a piece of paper curls when one side gets wet. Air dries out, bottom layer shrinks, scale drops open again. Pine trees have been running this exact design for about 390 million years, more than 150 million years before the first dinosaurs showed up. It does all of this for one reason: seeds. If seeds fell during rain, they'd just land right next to the parent tree and fight for the same sunlight. So the cone seals shut and waits. When conditions turn dry and windy, scales open and lightweight seeds catch the breeze and travel way farther from home. Look closely and the scales sit in spirals, 8 going one way and 13 the other. Same pattern you see in sunflower heads. I had to read this next part twice. In the 1960s, German coal miners pulled a few pinecones out of a coal deposit. Nobody thought much of it at the time. Decades later, a research team at the University of Freiburg got hold of them and figured out one was about 120,000 years old. Another was roughly 15 million years old. They soaked them in water. Both still closed up. Moved about half as much as a fresh pinecone, but after 15 million years underground with zero maintenance, the mechanism still worked. The coal had kept the wood flexible instead of turning it to stone. Engineers looked at this and started copying it. A team at the Universities of Stuttgart and Freiburg made 424 tiny panels out of wood fiber, designed to change shape on their own when humidity shifts, copying the pinecone's two-layer trick. They stuck them on a building's south-facing window. In winter, the panels curled open on their own to let sunlight warm the inside. Come summer, they flattened and blocked it. The whole system runs without electricity, motors, or wiring, just wood fiber reacting to weather the same way it has for 390 million years. They published the results in Nature Communications after a full year of testing. Every panel still worked. Your bathroom pinecone is a humidity sensor that predates dinosaurs by 150 million years, runs on dead wood and physics, and engineers are still trying to copy its homework.

JBL praises Pat McAfee “It just blows me away when a guy gets heat like this people go it’s go away heat. No it’s not.” “Fans wanna have heels, but they wanna be in on it. If ur saying somebody is a great heel they’re not a heel.” (Something to Wrestle)

The ocean is what we think space is

The Undertaker calling himself "Big Daddy Deadman" and saying he had the nice face amongst the two while Kane just stared in silence ☠️ Seeing these two break character like that Convince me they are real brothers 😂

Brock Lesnar tries to hang The Undertaker with a biker chain, before The Undertaker gives one of the best chokeslams of all time to Lesnar.

““If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you. Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you.” John 15:18-20 NLT #IDONTEVENBELONGHERE🫶🏾🙏🏾💜 #ThankYouJESUS

@NYfballgiants42 @panda_otu @TomBradyEgo Yea Im an eagles fan there were so few teams and I think the only philly team was the yellow jackets

@_Star_Knight @panda_otu @TomBradyEgo Oh yeah them, the packers and giants were the premier teams when the nfl first started

NFL All Time franchise tier list

@NYfballgiants42 @panda_otu @TomBradyEgo I knew browns were that good,but I never knew the bears were that good before the superbowl era

@panda_otu @_Star_Knight @TomBradyEgo 10 consecutive championships appearances man they were so good

Since the national media is refusing to report on the current situation, here is a thread of it all:

In 2022, Deng Youcai’s wife was left paralyzed by a brain tumor. She begged him to let her die as she didn’t want to bankrupt the family. But he refused. Instead, he quit his job, spent over $280,000 on treatment, became her full-time caregiver, and danced and sang by her bedside every day to keep her spirits alive. Within months, she made a full recovery.

@MySportsUpdate Jet lag for sure affects players performances

Roger Goodell on #49ers HC Kyle Shanahan not being a fan of playing in Australia: “His job is to win. His job is to play. … We’ll make it a great experience for the team.” Goodell added he can send Shanahan an app to help with jet lag. “I have not felt any jet lag at all. I thought it was a relatively easy trip.” (via @ESPNAusNZ)

"Here we have an Alaskan timber wolf. He weighs 240 pounds, and his jaws can bite through a parking meter. He does get spooked by loud noises." "Loud? That's our secret word for the day!"

"The beauty of it is each parking space is a mere one foot narrower, indistinguishable to the naked eye, but therein lies the game!" "I fear to watch, yet I cannot turn away."

One thing I found hilarious is the govt tried to tell us aliens were real and nobody really cared If an alien kills me cool, I get it But the way humans act, we kill each other all the time and perform the worst imaginable things and then epstein islands happened What is it an alien could possibly do that could terrify me more than my own species has already done?

Something I learned in life, Everyday just seems the same day in and day out until I look back and realize how much ive grown What is it that I missed?

There's something poetic about the night time and having thoughts to yourself and pondering There's nothing youll seem to truly figure out but just the journey to know is more important than what the destination could possibly even be My whole life a drive has been more important than where I had to go cause when it's all said and done- It all becomes a memory And it's a nightmare to forget unless you start it all over again

@tameimpala I love this song so much It made me realize that I lost something, I forgot how to fall in love with the night, I forgot to appreciate the sky and life I live in
