That’s about the strength that can cause liquefaction so “not really…?”
Liquefaction is terrifying though tbh

Honestly, I have the same one (even in the same color) and it is awesome! Aerial yoga is awesome but as sex furniture it’s inspired. My wife and I are in great shape too so the position possibilities are phenomenal.

It is some species of wood ants that spray formic acid as a defense mechanism against predators.
I just found out that it is also found in the trichomes of the stinging nettle plant too. Explains a lot.

Point of clarification: you were discussing the “purpose” of science and I disagreed with you on the reason not the process.

I would say that I agree with your sentiment with the caveat that I think that science is about understanding the form, function, circumstance or modality of some aspect of reality, via observation and experimentation, for the express purpose of expanding our species’ knowledge of the nature of our existence. Simply: knowledge for the sake of knowledge; what we use that knowledge for is often to elucidate solutions to practical problems but that is a secondary function rather than the primary purpose.

It’s the same thing with possible Gulf Stream collapse. The problem is that we have no metric to predict where the “tipping point” is or what it might look like in practical terms.

As example: The New York City zoos are also the organization known as The Wildlife Conservation Society, one of the world leaders in conservation, education and research that works to preserve the animals and habitats of our planet. They also put many millions of dollars into blueprinting enclosure habitats that are entirely fulfilling and enriching to each species particular needs. (even down to species specific neural mapping for stimulus triggers that our human brains might have overlooked from native habitat!)
What many people don’t realize is that enclosures are designed to allow animals to not be on display if they don’t want to be. In the Bronx zoo for example the publicly visible enclosure area for each species is only about 1/3 of the the total enclosure size.
Plus captive breeding programs are safeguarding species populations from disappearing forever.
