Reply to eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56
Many ancient "pagan" structures were treated by subsequent (Christian) generations as quarries. The Giza pyramids were finished of in gleaming white limestone it was entirely stripped off.
The Temple of Artemis at the ancient city of Ephesus, had much of it's marble cladding removed and used in Churches.

Reply to ELI5: if you’re lactose intolerant, why does the lactose cause bowel distress instead of passing through inertly? by chemstu69
A huge family of gut bacteria are capable of fermenting lactose. They are relatives of our old Friend E.coli.
If you can't digest it they will and when they do they produce a whole lot of gas! It's being forcibly inflated by the gas that causes the discomfort and potential projectile sharting.

This is the logical extension of "personhood" laws for fetuses. They are intended to stop abortions but the law doesn't always work the way you think it will when you write it.

The tree survived all this time for being "useless." The coastal live oaks that grew with straight sturdy trunks and long horizontal branches were all felled and hauled off by British Shipwrights. All of the truly ancient live oaks share this "uselessness."

Reply to U.S. regulators approved a plan to demolish four dams on the lower Klamath River and open hundreds of miles of salmon habitat in the largest dam-removal and river-restoration project in the world. by doginasweater39
I all comes down to what a bear might do in the woods; they do, as does every other living thing that feasts on a salmon run. The fish move tons of nitrogen from the sea to the forests drained by streams. There is ample tree ring proof that dams that limit or destroy salmon runs stunt the growth of forests.
