Damn That's A Big Whale

Are you a real person

Yes lmao

Have 2 fun facts, because I cannot decide between them!

The scientific name for llamas is lama glama.

The boa constrictor is the only animal with the same common name as scientific.

:D

Why don’t we just call them lama glama that’s a much better name

Hope you guys enjoy it  I’ve put a lot work to make this ^^

I tried to make it as simple as possible :)

As much as I want to support ethical farming practices I will be buying the cheapest bag of frozen chicken thighs as much as the next frugal/poor person which is why animal welfare needs to be legislated, not left up to the invisible hand of the free market or some bullshit. Invisible hand of the free market finds itself around a lot of throats.

I haven't looked into it, what's it about HD 186 302 that you like a lot?

We only have one example of how life formed. If we had even one other example, even if it was within our own solar system, it would vastly improve our understanding of how abiotic materials make the jump to biotic. But since we don’t have any other examples, all we have to go on is what we know about ourselves.

It comes down to the organic molecules which are the necessary building blocks for life as we know it. We’ve found them in protoplanetary disks— solar systems that haven’t finished forming.

An entire solar system forms together, all at about the same time, shortly after the star is born. For the most part, everything in a solar system will be made of roughly the same Stuff.

What this means is: the most likely place to find Earth-like life outside of our planet is within our own solar system.

It also means that second most likely place to find Earth-like life is in the solar system of our long-lost twin.

Recent studies have suggested that all stars are born in pairs. The vast majority of stars are actually binary systems, two stars orbiting around each other. Our solar system is an outlier. This doesn’t usually happen.

So…. where is our twin? Obviously, something happened and the stars got flung in wildly different directions. But a group of astronomers found 17,000 potential candidates, which they narrowed down to 55, and then to 4 stars that matched ours. And finally, HD 186302 was declared the most likely match. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to detect any transits to see if it has planets yet…

….but the James Webb Telescope will be able to.

We’re still learning new things all the time, so it’s possible HD 186302 isn’t our solar sibling after all. Regardless, we have a solar twin out there somewhere, like another batch of cookies made from the same batter as ours.

The James Webb Telescope has me unreasonably excited for what amazing new discoveries we may potentially find.

So true. Part of my reasoning for becoming a doctor is to fight the problems in the Healthcare industry and to improve the quality of Healthcare in rural areas. I would like to add that these things should be free and of a high standard everywhere.

Tampons and pads should be free. Condoms should be free. Birth control should be free. Pregnancy tests should be free. Abortions should be free. HIV/STI testing should always be free. HIV/STI medication and treatments should be free. Honestly, all medication and surgery should be free. Internet should be free. Water should be free. Food should be free. Shelter should be free. Education should be free. And if you disagree or think this is too radical, then you and I can't be friends and I hope you die.
