Artist Dan Coe uses lidar data to create portraits of rivers and their past meanders. Used aerially, lidar produces high-resolution elevation data that provides a glimpse of features that are currently hidden beneath vegetation. (Image credit: D. Coe; via Colossal)

It has come to my attention that people prefer Mychael taller. However, I refuse to accept us. him and us are at EYE level. If not the same size. I refuse to believe he is bigger than us no matter what Day 3 says. Therefore, this is my solution
Why can't he be normal size and cute? Why does he have to be a towering monster. NO, I WONT ACCEPT THIS

How To Extinguish A Phoenix
Phoenix: ACHOO! (bursts into flames)
Me: (sprays down with fire extinguisher)
Phoenix: (sniff) . . . I think that-ah-ACHOO (combusts again)
Me: (sprays again) We might need to switch extinguishers here soon.
Phoenix: Already?! Just let me di-ah-ah . . . ! No, lost that one. Anyway, just let me die, then!
Me: Not a chance, buddy! Remember what you said: no matter what, don’t let you burn to ash, because a cold isn’t as bad as spending six months regrowing all your feathers. Focus on that! The meds should kick in soon! And I’m not giving your deposit back!
Pheonix: I knooow, but I haaate thiiis . . . ah-ah-AH—!
Me: (sprays)
Phoenix: (sputtering) At least wait until I’m ACTUALLY on fire!
Me: (sheepish) Sorry. I got excited.
Phoenix: So glad you’re enjoying yourself!
Me: Look, I do not care how much you paid me: Dodging flammable pheonix snot is not how I like to pass my time. But fire extinguishers are fun, and if we’re both going to be miserable, I don’t see why we shouldn’t relish what little joy is to be had here.
Phoenix: . . . That’s fair, I guess.
Me: Tell you what—if I catch on fire, you can spray ME down.
Phoenix: Aw, thanks. That’s really . . . ah . . . ah . . . ACHOO!!!
Me: (sprays)

(A/N: This one goes out to all the people afflicted with holiday bugs! There’s SO MANY OF YOU, my WORD. I hope you feel better and still have a very Merry Christmas and all the other holidays left this year!)

The Best of FYFD 2023
A fresh year means a look back at what was popular last year on FYFD. Usually, I give a numeric list of the top 10 posts, but this year the analytics weren't as clear. So, instead, I'm combining from a few different sources and presenting an unordered list of some of the site's most popular content. (Image credits: sphinx - S. Boury et al., ear model - S. Kim et al., maze - S. Mould, dandelion - S. Chaudhry, water tank - P. Ammon, e. coli - R. Ran et al., drop impact - R. Sharma et al., Leidenfrost - L. Gledhill, toilet - J. Crimaldi et al., engine sim - N. Wimer et al., rivers - D. Coe, fin - F. Weston, snake - P. Schmid, nebula - J. Drudis and C. Sasse, flames - C. Almarcha et al.)
