Scientists have just discovered some rocks at the bottom of the ocean can make oxygen... and they do it in complete darkness!
These aren’t magic stones, they’re polymetallic nodules, potato-sized metal lumps packed with manganese, cobalt, and nickel.
But here’s the twist; when seawater flows over their surfaces, they generate tiny electric currents that can split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. No sunlight, no photosynthesis, just deep-sea chemistry creating breathable gas in the pitch black.
This “dark oxygen” could explain how deep-sea creatures survive in low-oxygen zones far from the surface. What's even wilder is that if this can happen on Earth, it could be happening right now in the hidden oceans of Europa or Enceladus, two icy moons that scientists think might host alien life.

the thing is people often talk about how minecraft steve is the most whitewashed character since jesus christ but never does anyone discuss how they’re perhaps the most misgendered character ever
steve (alongside all the other default skins, for that matter) are referred to with they/them and with gender-neutral language by the developers!
I just came across the steven meme and had to do it 🏃♀️

crows are the coolest freakin borbs ever, they're smart, ✨️classy✨️, an omen of death, a litol scrunkly, and so much moreee,,, also is it just me or are jumpers perfect for any weather, it's been hot as heckk but they're still very comfyy, and dontcha just hate it when the silent but loud radio static plays in your brain? Or when you get obsessed w something for a month, then loose all interest, that's always sucky, oh and greek mythology is just ✨️the shit✨️, everythin about it is interesting if a little gross at times, did I mention crows are neat? another neat thing is when you find a bit of clothing that just. Becomes part of your litral character design for the rest of time, aswell as gettin funky pins for em :3
