Oh, science, we grew up with it and consider its findings to be extremely important. But in a time of backwardness, when the big players are already looking forward to opening up new oil and gas fields in the no longer eternal ice, the findings of climate change are no longer really exciting.

If governments think that a declaration of intent can cancel out the effects of climate change, then they have made the calculation without nature.

A very legitimate question, given that in many countries a political shift to the right is turning people away from wind turbines and solar panels, which are already enabling new innovations such as electricity conversion into hydrogen storage and short-term large-scale storage for wind energy.

Where will the electricity come from for the unregulated AI revolution?

Please don't answer with small nuclear power plants. The programme has already failed in the USA due to exploding costs!

How about diesel generators converting the energy, since climate change is caused by nature, if you believe populists.

The return of the technologies from the fifties, nuclear power, which has so often proven that its risks are disproportionate to its benefits, is now once again being touted as a forward-looking technology!

Wow, you lobbyists, hats off! It must have cost a lot of money, sorry, to persuade politicians.

I find something that annoys me is how people misunderstand why Persephone is considered the goddess of spring.

It’s because Demeter makes it spring when she returns. Not because Persephone has some awesome sick flower powers and she makes it all pretty before returning to her 10000/10 husband.

Agreed! But also, if I can offer up my own food for thought / interpretation: Demeter didn't necessarily create 'winter' as we traditionally perceive it, rather she created famine.

In that same sense, Demeter isn't even necessarily "making it Spring" when Persephone returns - she makes the land fertile again, allowing mortals to harvest their crops and thrive. Thus creating the "seasons" of harvest and drought.

Like many of the myths we've preserved and still read today, The Hymn to Demeter was a story created to explain natural phenomena that we didn't yet know how to explain. In Demeter's case, the story of her separation from her daughter explained the cycle of nature - why the clouds would no longer rain, why the ground would dry and crack, why the soil would become brittle, and why the crops would lose their will to live. It wasn't necessarily because she brought about 'winter', it was simply that she stopped performing her own duties, which were specifically dedicated to the harvest, especially that of wheat and grains (both of which are INCREDIBLY important foods that played their own massive role in the evolution of the human race - they weren't only essential to keeping both humans and livestock fed with their carb-heavy components, but could also be used to make fabrics and tools.)

Just as people prayed to Poseidon for safe travels across still waters, so too would people pray to Demeter for a bountiful harvest. Whenever there were droughts, you could understand it as the period when Persephone would return to the Underworld; or you could even blame it on yourself, or even your own fellow mortals, if you felt that perhaps Demeter had been disrespected in some way so as to bring about a drought as punishment.

This is why The Hymn to Demeter also functions as a foundational story for the founding of The Eleusinian Mysteries - a cult that worshipped Demeter, and other deities attributed to the harvest (ex. Dionysus) whose initiates were sworn to secrecy, never to speak aloud what practices were happening within the cult. And they did a damn good job of it too, because to this day we still don't fully know what went down in those cults. They're mysteries, after all :')

Demeter wasn't the only god who was attributed to the harvest and the weather patterns that would cause drought, but she's certainly one of the most popularly discussed, undoubtedly due to the fact that her story is one of the oldest and most well-preserved, and she was attributed to some of the most essential crops of that era.

But as it would happen to many myths over the centuries, the exact cultural contexts and intentions behind her original story have become either lost, or re-interpreted so many times that we can't even fully trust that Homer's version is "accurate", at least not without any way to retrieve those original oral stories that predated both him and other famous poets whose work we still study and analyze today.

But hey, that's just my own interpretation! One out of the thousands that have existed and the thousands that will undoubtedly go on to exist. I'm sure my own interpretation of it isn't perfect or foolproof, but I hope it offers up some fun food for thought!

My favorite thing about science is that it usually says that nothing in our world is specific ,categorysable or simple

And it usually is funny because

"Oh you study Xscience? Can you tell me about X?"

'X doesn't exist.'

Love science

Mandatory repost of this vital scientific research because ((insatiable cockslut)). Thank you so much for doing such noble work. (&& those OG hashtags though, where is the lie? *dies laughing*)

This Is An Important Post!

This post will blow your mind like no others have before! Come quick, if you don’t read this post in the next five minutes you will wake up in the middle of the night and ask yourself what have I done with my life!

Now that I have your full attention it is time to talk about the most important topic this fandom can possibly give you.

Dicks

It is a crime that no one has even tried to give a length of our guys penises here, like seriously what is there to life if we have no idea what’s in those pants!? It is scientifically important to know what is exactly dangling between those legs.

P.S ~ It’s @inconvenientplaces and @catsbythegreat fault for not inviting me into their topic of dicks earlier. It was such blasphemy of forgetting I so I had to make up for my absence.

The average height of Japanese men are about 5′7′’ (175 cm) and the length of a man’s penis is of 7% to 10% of body length. So in this process I will be going with an average of 8.5% for all calculations. So for example if we take the average Japanese men’s height of 175 cm x 8.5% we get 14.875 cm = 5.86 inches. So the average Japanese penis length would be 5.86 inches long and we all know that for some reason our Psycho-Pass men are pretty much taller than average.

Now after doing the important calculations allow me to list below the length of our men and I even took on the liberty of calculating their thickness (girth) aren’t I just swell. 

Of course take into account that the make penis can measure from 7 to 10% of his body length and these calculations are simply based average at 8.5%. They could be less or more than the estimation but you get the general idea. Go ahead and have some fun with this information :3

Choe Gu-Sung is an asshole I have no idea what is his height. It is listed as unknown so I’ve got to skip this one.

Kagari (Height: 5′5′’ 165 cm, Weight: 117 lbs 53 kg)

Penis length: 14.025 cm (5.52 inches), Thickness: 11.3792 cm (4.48 inches)

Masaoka (Height: 5′9′’ 175 cm, Weight: 191 lbs 87 kg)

Penis length: 14.875 cm (5.86 inches), Thickness: 12.065 cm (4.75)

Kougami (Height: 5′11′’ 180 cm, Weight: 145 lbs 66 kg)

Penis length: 15.3 cm (6.02 inches), Thickness: 12.3952 cm (4.88 inches)

Sasayama (Height: 5′11′’ 180 cm, Weight: Unknown)

Penis length: 15.3 cm (6.02 inches), Thickness: 12.3952 cm (4.88 inches)

Makishima  (Height: 5′11′’ 180 cm, Weight: 143 lbs 65 kg)

Penis length: 15.3 cm (6.02 inches), Thickness: 12.3952 cm (4.88 inches)

Saiga (Height: 5′10′’ 178 cm, Weight: 153 lbs (69.7 kg)

Penis length: 15.13 cm (5.96 inches), Thickness: 12.2682 cm (4.83 inches)

Tougane (Height: 5′11′’ 180 cm, Weight: 145 lbs 66 kg)

Penis length: 15.3 cm (6.02 inches), Thickness: 12.3952 cm (4.88 inches)

Cross that Tougane has no dick. His mother thought he didn’t need one so she gave him the small dick she could fabricate. A micropenis.

Sugo (Height: 5′11′’ 180 cm, Weight: 151 lbs 68.8 kg)

Penis length: 15.3 cm (6.02 inches), Thickness: 12.3952 cm (4.88 inches)

Hinakawa  (Height: 5′9′’ 175 cm, Weight: 121 lbs 55 kg)

Penis length: 14.875 cm (5.86 inches), Thickness: 12.065 cm (4.75 inches)

Ginoza  (Height: 6′0′’ 183 cm, Weight: 136 lbs 62 kg)

Penis length: 15.555 cm (6.12 inches), Thickness: 12.5984 cm (4.96 inches)

This brings end to the long list. Do keep in mind that this is only an average estimation calculated if the men’s penis is 8.5% the length of their body.

If Kou’s penis was at a lets say 10% his body length, his penis would be 18 cm (7.09 inches) with a girth of 5.67 inches.

So this ends the average and you get the idea. If this information is not clear enough and you wish more calculations of different percentage don’t be shy to ask me. It’s all in the name of science here.

I had a crush on this guy the instant he was first REVEALED in the show, but I did not have the artistic prowess to draw good looking old men back then… but I do now… thank god… thank fucking god
