Superfluids, A Special Type Of Fluid Located Below The Lambda Point Near Absolute Zero, Exhibit Some

Superfluids, a special type of fluid located below the lambda point near absolute zero, exhibit some mind-bending properties like zero viscosity and zero entropy. They are, in essence, a macroscopic manifestation of quantum mechanics. Here their thermomechanical, or fountain, effect is explained. This bizarre state of matter isn’t only found in laboratories, though. Scientists now think that superfluids may exist at the heart of neutron stars.

just saying carrying around beakers of acid to splash on people is nowhere close to proper PPE

which STEM students you should fight

chemistry: it’s not that STEM students aren’t all nerds, it’s that some of those students carry around beakers of acid. even if you actually manage to punch them, they’ll spill their chemicals on you. also something about constantly drawing hexagons makes people scarily organized. don’t fight chemistry students.

biology: depends. some of them can poison you. but if they’re pre-med, they’ll probably thank you for fighting them, they’re so goddamn stressed. on the other hand, avoid fighting the neuro students. they’ll just set their lab rats on you.

physics: do you know how unnecessarily sidetracked they get? they wouldn’t even fight you. they would just attach you to a spring and calculate your natural frequency as you bounce back and forth until you vomit and don’t want to fight them anymore. 

astronomy: yeah you can totally fight them if you can find them. they’re probably in one of those creepy observing domes so if you feel like going out of your way to get attacked by an axe murderer, sure.

geology: they will hit you over the head with rocks and dump your body into a volcano. do not fight the geologists.  

math: you can fight the math majors, but there would be no fun in it. they wouldn’t put up much of a fight, their heads are so far in the clouds. they probably wouldn’t even notice getting beaten up if they’re in the middle of a problem. 

engineering: look do you want to get hit with a wrench and/or electrocuted

computer science: yes. do it. fight the CS students. every time you’ve ever gotten pissed at a computer, put that rage into your strikes. plus they’ve got such mouths, it’ll be really satisfying. fight them!

NIGHTJARS

You heard me.  

Nightjars.

They are the BEST birds.  Don’t come at me with BUT CORVIDS y’all know Corvids aren’t birds, they’re magic.

Anyway.  Nightjars.  Why nightjars, you might ask.  Well let me tell  you why.

I’ve already told you about the Tawny Frogmouth

image

But there is also the Great Eared Nightjar

image

Pennant-winged Nightjar

image

Standard-winged Nightjar. Yes, those are part of its wings. No, I don’t know WTF.

image

This oddly shaped stump.  haha tricked you!  It’s a Tawny frogmouth and baby.

image

Lyretail Nightjar.  again, why.  again, no idea.

image

Australian owlet-nightjar

image

Swallowtail Nightjar.  Not so fancy?  look again. that mustache.

image

Not into cute mustaches on birds?

Tell that to this Sickle-winged Nightjar.  

image

Before it cuts you down with its badass wings.

image

Hey another stump - wait no it’s a FROGMOUTH

image

I’m not the first to have come to this conclusion.  

image

says right there.  BEST BIRD.

image

Ok whatever Indian Nightjar doesn’t care what you think about it.

If you don’t agree, you can sit over there and be wrong.
