The Bearded Vulture is the only known animal whose diet is almost exclusively bone.

The bone-eating giant bird which coats itself minerals like copper to get its rusty hue for unknown cosmetic reasons, most likely to show dominance. The brighter the hue, the more dominant the male.

They probably need the copper because its anti-bacterial properties. useful if you’re a carrion eater.

The bird has a 9 ft wingspan.

Bearded Vultures provide an indispensable service to the ecosystem, checking the spread of disease by consuming corpses. But the bearded’s diet is 95 percent bone. It can wait for the other scavengers to strip the body clean, then stroll in at its leisure to take its fill.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Hello everyone! I’m making a post on behalf of my friend, who doesn’t have a Tumblr.

She is a 2-Spirit Inuk artist who is fundraising to access vital medical treatment for chemical burns and resulting pain & complications.

She’s been struggling to receive accessible care in a racist medical system, and she needs our support.

Donations will also pay for transportation to & from the hospital for treatment, as well as basic necessities like her phone bill.

She was recently unable to pay and therefore couldn’t handle her medical needs because she had no access to a phone.

It would mean the world to me if you could spare anything to help her. I am sharing the link to her GoFundMe, as well as a PayPal info for direct donations. She’s in Canada, so if you’re donating from the U.S, your donation will even be a little more in CAD than USD!

People often apologize for donating small amounts, so please believe there is no amount too small. If everyone who saw this donated a few dollars, her care would be covered in full.

Donating directly to funds like this is an immediate and impactful action you can take to support an Indigenous person in your sphere.

Donate if you can, and please share this post. I’ll be reblogging it throughout the week for visibility.

Thank you for your support!!!! ♥️

Someone recently posted about how Tumblr clout doesn't actually translate into anything in real life, it just means X amount of people read your post, so what's the point?

I mean besides the fact that some people actually use their posts for good, like activism and combating misinformation, there's just posting for the sake of posting which is its own reward.

But also, sometimes you'll make an impression with your fucked up posting that someone decides to send you a DM to talk to you about elves or a podcast or a podcast about elves or something and now you've made a new best friend :)
