Try this

"which plant has the most anuses"

AI Overview
The plant with the most "anuses" (or rather, the most posterior ends with a functional digestive system) is the marine worm Ramisyllis multicaudata. This worm, found in sponges off the coast of Australia, has a single head but can have hundreds of branching bodies, each ending in a separate posterior end with a functional anus.

While plants don't have anuses in the traditional sense, R. multicaudata is notable for its multiple, branching posterior ends, each with its own anus. This is highly unusual for an animal, as most animals have a single posterior end. The worm's body branches repeatedly, and with each branch, the digestive system, along with other organs, is duplicated, resulting in multiple posterior ends.

The animal with the most anuses is the marine worm Ramisyllis multicaudata. This worm has a branching body structure, with each branch ending in a separate anus, resulting in hundreds of anuses.

I giggled like a simpleton at "resulting in hundreds of anuses". Guess what I asked here

The question is a bit misleading, as most mammals have only one scrotum. However, when discussing the animal with the largest testicles relative to its body size, the tuberous bush cricket (Platycleis affinis) stands out. Their testes can account for up to 14% of their body weight, according to BBC Earth Explore.

Yes, please describe how that solar panel came into being. Try it without the fossil fuel foundation of every single item we use. Everything from the rubber tires of the delivery trucks to the food the workers eat.

You are blind to what's around you. If you think we're going to support 8 billion people living a Western lifestyle without fossil fuels, I'm afraid it's not me who isn't bright.

How do you support our present industrial civilization with windmills and watermills? We already had these, why did we give them up?

You're completely oblivious.

"better, more advanced ways of generating power."

But we don't. We don't "generate" power. We harvest energy. And once our little geological energy reserve is drawn down, how do you plan on keeping our present arrangements going?

You haven't explained how you plan to make fertilizers, concrete, plastics, with electricity? And you don't simply "light oil on fire"... Where did the iron come from to make engines? Coal, oh yeah.

You also think we'll just spin copper wire and rare earth magnets from sunshine...

Please go back to AI vibe coding.

Oh I am greatly entertained by asking various AIs "which animal has the most anuses" etc

It has a penis longer than its entire body. Before I get eaten by a bird, I want to parade that thing around.

Then why did it take until 1859 for human population to start trending up and reach 8 billion?

I'll help you: oil. The ancient Romans had geothermal, wind, tide, solar, and hydro as well.

They had the exact same energy we do now. The difference is we have power, they didn't.

I'll help you again. You can't fertilize crops with electricity, or make plastic.

"Lane"? Do you have any idea how many green spaces and trees are being destroyed to build WEF "densified" condos everywhere?

How would I know? Are they trying to quit smoking?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

That's what geocached samizdat is for, silly boy! Or pirate radio, or pirate OTA TV (HD or NTSC for extra cred).

Prayer doesn't work. At best it's stress relief: beats smoking. At worst it fosters a mindless life outlook.

Our present civilizational arrangement that depends on cheap energy and a world-wide endless supply chain is on its last legs. Hospitals depend on both reliable energy and supplies.

If civilization collapses, we can hope the basic knowledge we've accumulated over the last 150-200 years or so will endure. Things like blood circulation, blood pressure, germ theory, blood types, basic first aid, etc. But I doubt it. Most of us are functional morons. We use things that we don't have a clue how any of it got here or how it works.

And if we think about them at all, we assume humans have always had them. See the 1970s series Connections, just episode 1 for what I mean.

If we simply degrade and lose the entitlements we gained during the cheap energy fossil fuel orgy, we'll revert to historical patterns of top 1% getting all the best services and care, such as human doctors and organ transplants, and the rest of us will get AI "doctors" that prescribe symptomatic relief from the company that owns them. See the novel Bladerunner by Nourse for a general sketch. Also from the '70s, another period of political turmoil and a manufactured energy crisis. The difference is that now, the energy crisis isn't manufactured. It's foundational.

I could also be wrong, the LSD is hitting pretty hard this morning.

Anyone else planning on dining out in an Iranian restaurant tonight?

 

I saw it when it came out and only remember that I thought it was pretty good. Maybe I'll watch it this weekend.

 

A good find this afternoon I think. 10$ for these two, and Strangelove is in a metal jewel case thingy. Pretty good.

 

Star Trek The Motionless Picture through The Undiscovered Country plus The Captain's Summit for 7.50$. That's decent

 

Not me! Maybe not the best selection, there were more Warner Brothers discs, infamous for bit rot (it's real, even their regular DVDs die prematurely), I passed on those. I have a few and they are all dead.

[For those who don't know, HDDVD was the HD format that lost the format wars of the early 2000s. There are very few readers any more out there. The XBOX 360's external reader is one, the Toshiba machines are the others. I have both!]

 

Pretty lame I guess but this is pretty fancy and looks like unused and unopened. It really slowly, smoothly AND silently opens up.

Now to find magneto-optical disks.

 

All 6 seasons with 6 still sealed. Nostalgia, baby. I miss the '90s!

 

A real horroshow Bluray

 

A nice hat trick for today. I happened to be there when they were bringing fresh meat to the shelves. Picked 'em right off the cart. I mean "The Prisoner"? Come on now. Cosmos 2014 on Bluray?

 

Hey for 4$ who can complain? Each disc is immaculate.

 

Not sure if this falls into "thrifting". This store used to have pleasant deals on materials but I'd say in the last few years they went nuts with the prices.

The only deal I ever got there was an IKEA filing cabinet on wheels in new condition for like 20$. The kind of IKEA stuff that had heft to it, not the newer stuff.

No wonder they closed, charging twice the price of new for donated items. Far worse than Renaissance or VV.

 

It's like new. I guess I'll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

C'est rare que je trouve des séries Québecoises. Je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé celle-ci, mais trouver la Saison 2... pas sur
