TLDR, their optic nerves are coiled at rest, and uncoil when the eye is moving to extremes, which is different than the methods that other animals evolved to deal with the same issue. Owls pivot their heads. Rats have stretchy nerves. Chameleons coil and uncoil.

6·11 days agoIt’s in Tesla stock and only if Tesla stock hits some insane price that’ll make it 2x or 3x more valuable than nvidia, so it’ll basically never happen. But the optics are still so bad.
That looks awesome!
And…uh…I’ll never miss finding him again now haha
Looking forward to seeing the vault.
A trillion dollars divided by every Tesla employee would be 7.9million. PER PERSON.
Why the fuck is it not an immediate strike?

World News•Americans ‘dumbfounded by cruelty’ of Trump officials slashing Snap benefits | US politics | The GuardianEnglish
31·15 days agoCompletely agree. I am in America, and it is incredibly frustrating. People, I think, are just kinda milling about until we hit an extremely obvious tipping point. There’s been far too many “lines in the sand” that we’ve left far behind us. Couple that with the average person who either has been conditioned to not want to think about politics or is “too burned out to care” (so frustrating), we end up where we are.
It’s certainly by design that republicans are constantly pushing villainizing critical thinking and institutions which teach it, even though they themselves all have degrees.
It doesn’t help that the vast majority of us are locked to our jobs for healthcare, and well over half the county lives paycheck to paycheck now and that’s only getting worse with inflation and wealth concentration at the top.
Losing SNAP benefits could be a tipping point. Once those millions of people run out of food (the largest group of recipients are, guess what, idiot trump supporters in red states), we might see some change. But not before (even more) people start to die, unfortunately.

15·17 days agoYeah, there’s no money. Appealing will stop the funding, and for some reason USDA said it takes “weeks” to get the SNAP debit cards reloaded. https://thehill.com/homenews/nexstar_media_wire/5583746-when-will-snap-ebt-cards-be-reloaded-delays-still-possible-despite-judges-rulings/
