Reply to comment by Dawnawaken92 in TIL In the 1980s, an obscene image was snuck into one of the ice cubes in a Coca-Cola ad in South Australia. The company recalled and destroyed all of the posters, and the artist responsible for the image was fired and sued. by 54_actual
But...they do? It is in the article...

Gravity is the result of matter warping spacetime.
Imagine setting a really heavy bowling ball on a trampoline. It will sink, stretching and curving the fabric of the trampoline that otherwise was flat, uncurved. If you were to roll a smaller ball straight past (but not at) the well created by the bowling ball, it will circle the well, gradually spiraling inwards as it loses energy. Analagous to one body orbiting another.
Matter does pretty much the same thing to spacetime, but its in all directions (since spacetime isn't a flat plane like the trampline). Non-euclidean geometry is the geometry of curved surfaces (put simply) and can shed insight on some of your more specific questions.
Edit: watch this Video

Reply to TIFU by putting Tiger Balm on my anus by SamuelMashups
A small amount won't hurt you, it'll be very uncomfortable. The danger from these products near the groin and especially the anus is they contain a chemical (Methyl salicylate) similar to aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and those areas will readily absorb the salicylate through the skin. Too much can cause the same liver issues as overdosing on aspirin.
You didn't apply nearly enough to be worried, but probably avoid taking any aspirin for the next day just to be safe.

Why is there a news article saying this exact thing every single week. We know, and I dont get why anyone cares.

As a cold beverage lover I salute the efforts of that one dude, apparently a revolutionary!

I more mean climate wise Europe should have been capable of their own ice production if they wanted it. No?
