Lmao I was watching an episode of ST: Voyager the other day and a little girl learning about mitochondria said they were the “warp core of the cell”. That phrase is ridiculously pervasive
I don’t know. Wouldn’t that mean cells could violently explode and cause a chain reaction if nearby cells exploding as well?
Same here in Germany - immediately came to my mind!
It was ruined for me when I was getting my masters in genetics and learned that “mitochondria” is plural, and the singular is “mitochondrion.” So, it’s either “the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” or “the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell,” and neither feel right.
I feel like the leading “the” is what’s messing that up.
“Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” sounds fine to me.
*powerhouses might be better(it sounds better for me)
I constantly struggle with what’s proper and what sounds right when using Latin plural in English.
Why have you done this to us?!
A grammatical error in a translation from a foreign galactic basic to English is what ruined the force for you? Lol. If we can believe in defying gravity, I think we can believe “The iceburgs is the ship’s fear.”
Bro. What lol.
Idk, just a dumb joke about star wars
I was with you until the last line, lol, had me scratching my head and wondering if I was okay
Weakness would have made more sense then fear, but that ship already sailed. If it’s going to Titanic I’m going to pretend I can’t change course now
I’m a big fan of saying weird shit and leaving it up, cheers fellow weirdo.
I refer to one piece of broccoli as a
broccolusbroccolo.Except its Italian, not Latin, so the singular is broccolo . If you want to use the Latin word,.it’s broccus
I feel like Broccus would be a badass name for a dog.
I have one die which gives one datum at a time.
Can we take a step back and just appreciate how good Bluey is?
-
Challenging but accessible
-
Inclusive
-
Emotional depth
-
Grounded

Not disgusting annoying
I really appreciate when kids shows are made with parents/guardians in mind (ie will watching the same episode 50 times make you want to off yourself or not)
It is really nice to have a children’s TV show that doesn’t scream the title and characters’ names at us over and over, mainly to make sure we remember to buy merchandise
Such a great show. That Sleepytime episode always ruins me though. About how kids need their parents less and less as time goes on and they become more independent, fuuuuck.
Take another moment to realize how shit Paw Patrol is.
- Not challenging, has clear cut good/bad dynamic. Bluey doesn’t have “bad guys”
- PP is fairly inclusive.
- Almost not emotional depth, everyone is always in a good mood.
- Started off fairly grounded, but then power scaling for no reason.
- Repetitive and boring.
- What the fuck is up with dogs being intelligent enough to do the PP things, but also being subservient to humans? The whole dynamic is so fucked, Bluey doesn’t have humans at all.
I only compare them because the are both dog based kids shows. But PP sucks
I almost added “Not ADHD bait” as a positive for Bluey and calling out Paw Patrol specifically but wanted to be more positive lmao
Truely a turd of a show.
It’s really amazing. The only (not really) downside is that certain episodes make me tear up.
You will also have to enslessly play the games they’re playing.
I haven’t actually been able to watch the special episode properly because my wife and daughters are too busy crying. I do love how stripe is kicked out of the bushes by Wendy

the mitochondria is the energy center of the cell

This has got to be the funniest summary of A Wind in the Door
Its so ubiquitous that LLMs will always say it like that when it comes up.
Inertia is a property of matter

Damn, I haven’t thought about that 90’s Sabrina show since, well… the 90’s!
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins
I learned about mitochondria from Parasite Eve. Damn I wish they’d remake that.
Why does everyone know this, but still think the definition of “metabolism” is solely built towards fake weight loss regiments? Bit of a tangent.
it’s at this point a joke seen in non science contexts
