Sometimes people on the Internet are talking about a politics thing and are like "this isn't my first rodeo!" and inwardly I am thinking "you have never been to a rodeo" -

If torpor isn't defined by body temperature but it's about "metabolic rate" then why is the diapause of the ants (other insects also participate) not considered torpor?@IngaLovinde @futurebird (MegaHAL was an open source chatbot program from around the year 2000 that, when given text input, added it to a markov chain text model and generated "conversational" responses. Back in the day I hooked it up to both IRC and AOL Instant Messenger, and I actually witnessed it passing the Turing Test, not because MegaHAL was smart, but because people are very prone to seeing the work of minds in random data.)

I don't know how well this puzzle will translate to a toot.@futurebird i didn't really feel like i had an "a-ha" while doing this, it only felt like i had the right answer when i sorted them all and realized there were no gaps in the "base 4" ordering, that was the point at which it felt like I had a satisfying answer rather than an arbitrary one

They thought it was an anomaly.@futurebird It is well known that if a cat is sitting in your lap it is impossible to stand up. What was not realized until recently is that this is also true of the particles and antiparticles that fall into the Snuggly Zone surrounding the cat. In each instance of a human with a cat sitting in their lap, two jets of hawking radiation can be observed emitting perpendicular to the orbital plane of the cat's spine spiral
