@futurebird I feel like the termination explanation is kind of fundamental. When you factor a number into its primes, what happens if you allow 1?Then factor, say 6:6 = 3 * 26 = 3 * 2 * 16 = 3 * 2 * 1 * 16 = 3 * 2 * 1 * 1 * 1So that's demented.

@futurebird But shouldn't we hoard for Earth any metal that cannot be created through stellar fusion?

@futurebird Are you just trying to make us look it up so we can see the next verse? Myrmecological propaganda!

@futurebird @barrygoldman1 I think Aristotle may be in the clear on this score:"Again, of these social creatures some submit to a ruler, others are subject to no governance: as, for instance, the crane and the several sorts of bee submit to a ruler, whereas ants and numerous other creatures are every one his own master." (from the History of Animals - here - https://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/history_anim.mb.txt)

@futurebird It says "Fierce Gremlin" but the music says "Amiable Widget". Are they also fierce?

@futurebird It's like how McDonald's jacked up prices by 10% for a couple years in a row, then freaked out claiming it would destroy consumers when fast food workers got a raise in California. (which turned out to cost 15 cents on a $4 burger)

@stux It's curious how they run a "disrespect for our president" line, when Trump literally just told Zelenskyy that the previous US President was a moron. So .. like .. what is "respect for our president" even meant to evoke?

@futurebird Wow that height is nuts. Do we know for sure that these were individuals vs colonies (in the sense that coral or slime molds can appear to be individuals but there are "individuals" with different DNA)? For a colony, it's possible that internal competition by colony members to be in a reproductive advantage might help explain height. I've wondered if the shape of slime molds, when they coalesce, is impacted by internal competitive pressures this way, but I don't know the answer.
