And that’s when everyone else goes… “to the moooooon!” 🐄🚀🌛

In my opinion, that is downright fascinating!! 😮🤯

You just don’t have the login to it.

Nice.

Well alright then.

Well, apparently they exist outside of Tik Tok then?

Anyway, when I duckduckgoed (?) ‘dabloons’, all the results were more or less:

TikTok Dabloons or TikTok Doubloons are a fictional currency and internet trend on TikTok which started circulating around the social platform in November 2022. Wikipedia

In what other context are ‘dabloons’ used to indicate something valuable?

Thank you!

I still had to google it. I don’t use Tik Tok, so I had no idea what dabloons were. 🤷

oh, could help me then? 😬

That was really cool!

Thanks for sharing.

Are those con (sensation) trails I see? They do make more sense on the giant robot one though!

Thanks. I saw that too, but I attempted a few times and it was still formatting weird. 🤷

But I’ll give it another go using that tip. Whenever I try to quote multiple paragraphs again. 👍🏻

I read the article and I have no idea what you are referring to. I think the author layed out their reasoning pretty…

Oh wait. You didn’t put the /s at the end, but it was implied?

Is it woosh over my head, or you not making sense? (no offense)

Thank you for including those links. I especially liked this part of the conclusion:

So the transformation from capitalism to socialism requires political action by the working class, in order that it can establish structures necessary for the transition to socialism. Just as the merchant class during feudalism could discern its long-range interests in the full realization of factory production, the working class must discern its interest in the full emancipatory implications of automated industry. And just as the merchant class became a revolutionary bourgeoisie, the working class must become a revolutionary class that acts politically to establish a new type of society on a foundation of automated industry.

If anyone is curious, it’s a short read and a good overview.

When red blood cells degrade after their six-month lifespan, a bright orange pigment called bilirubin is produced as a byproduct. Bilirubin is typically secreted into the gut, where it is destined for excretion but can also be partially reabsorbed. Excess reabsorption can lead to a buildup of bilirubin in the blood and can cause jaundice—a condition that leads to the yellowing of the skin and eyes. Once in the gut, the resident flora can convert bilirubin into other molecules.

“Gut microbes encode the enzyme bilirubin reductase that converts bilirubin into a colorless byproduct called urobilinogen,” explained Hall, who has a joint appointment in the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. “Urobilinogen then spontaneously degrades into a molecule called urobilin, which is responsible for the yellow color we are all familiar with.”

Urobilin has long been linked to urine’s yellow hue, but the research team’s discovery of the enzyme responsible answers a question that has eluded scientists for over a century.

“affectation”? Can someone explain to a none anglophone what Geordi meant by that?

Edit: nevermind, apparently I still remember how to use a dictionary… ‘Affectation noun behaviour or speech that is not sincere’

Lol. You can even see a little tail sticking out on the left. 😁

Anyway, congrats Japan! Hope the landing goes without a hitch.
