muscles like this! posted:Because of their diet polar bear liver contains a concentration of vitamin A that is toxic to humans. I believe it's about both the sheer concentration and also the form. There is preformed vitamin A, found in things like liver, and proformed vitamin A, found in things like carrots. My understanding is that you can overdose on the first type but no amount of the second can hurt you, though eating too many carrots can make you look like the president.

Australia is the country with the second highest proportion of people with Irish antecedents, more than the United Kingdom, a country that includes a big chunk of Ireland. Anne Whateley posted:I couldn't find info on the top percentile of global income, but the second link is explicitly about income, not assets. And on $60k it's gonna take you awhile to get to $1m of assets. It is remarkably hard to find information on global income distribution but I found this. My claim is strictly in regards to income. The Bloomberg link is paywalled for me.

pretty much anything is toxic in high enough quantities but you can't od on stuff like vitamin b because it's water soluble and you'll just piss out the excess. vitamin a is fat soluble so it stays inside your body and kills you. unless you have a way to piss fat

It's main use seems to be to stop me leaching images off of reddit.

However this means it treated your body like a waterslide and just passed right through and could cause "anal leakage."

The same is true for most non-sugar sweeteners. They’ll give you the liquid shits if you have too much because they’re not digested

peter gabriel posted:If you times something by 9 then the answer should always add up to 9 It is correct all the time. Think about it this way: it easily works for 1x9=9. And if you add 9 to any number, one of two things happens: 1. The last digit of your original number is 0, so it changes to 9 and the sum of the digits goes up by 9. Example: 90->99 2. The last digit of your original number isn't 0, so it goes down by 1 and the tens go up by 1. Example: 63->72 3. The last digit of your original number isn't 0, and there are a bunch of 9s before that -- so the last digit goes down by 1, a bunch of 9s flip over to 0s, and some other digit goes up by one. Example: 999->1000 In all of these examples you're either adding a multiple of 9, removing a multiple of 9, or leaving the sum of the digits as it is, so the sum of the digits will always be a multiple of 9.

To add: the maths thing that blows my mind is the concept of a Normal number. Put simply (and slightly inaccurately for the sake of emphasis): you know the popular myth that every possible sequence of numbers must appear somewhere in pi, because pi goes on forever without repeating? It's not necessarily true of pi, but any number it is true of is called a normal number. Here's the thing: we know that the vast majority of numbers are normal: for every non-normal number there are infinitely many normal ones. But it's incredibly hard to prove that any given number is normal, and the vast majority of numbers that we do use are non-normal. It's like all the numbers that are interesting to mathematicians are tiny little points of light in a huge dark sea of stuff that we barely have the maths to describe.

Whybird posted:To add: the maths thing that blows my mind is the concept of a Normal number. i think it is impossible for any mathematical fact to be mind-blowing. "If 3/9+3/9+3/9=9/9=1 then 0.333...+0.333...+0.333...=0.999...=1.0 isn't that mind blowing?" then all non-mathematicians have to smile and nod. I think it is because mathematical concepts have the property of being both discovered and invented. So being told a "mind-blowing" mathematical paradox feels like the equivalent of being told about something extraordinary that happened in a fictional story.

The dingleberry was a real fruit that went extinct only a couple hundred years ago. The riparian environments it existed in were eliminated due to the buildup of water-powered mills in the early days of the industrial revolution. The last dingleberry salad was apparently eaten at White's, in London.
