You know how canaries were historically brought into coal mines, because if the mine was full of carbon monoxide the canary would die first and the miners would be able to escape before they died too?

I just found the greatest thing.

This is a canary resuscitator.

When the miners notice the canary getting sick with carbon monoxide poisoning, they can close that circular hatch so no more gas gets into the canary cage, and open the valve on that oxygen tank to keep the canary breathing. In other words, they made a spacesuit for birds.

By immediately giving the canary access to clean air, the miners can save it from the poison. The bird lives. To be clear, this is not for economic purposes, this was specifically created because the miners felt bad and wanted to save the bird.

Isn’t that just the perfect demonstration of what humans are like? We started sacrificing small creatures to save ourselves, and then felt bad and spent our valuable resources on saving the critters too. Because yeah the canary was the only way to test for CO, but it’s a living creature too, dammit!

This is too funny😂👍🏻

The real test of friendship

After spending almost an entire episode on lead and it’s harm to human health, I think he should have spent a bit more time on light pollution.  I was hopeful….

The small town mountainous area where I live used to have a limiting magnitude of 6 or more, now there are lots of times we can’t quite make out the Milky Way…..just in a matter of a few years…

Curious Thought

I wonder how many people like the boom and the clash of the thunder and the anticipation of seeing another lightning strike like I do.

Today in science we learned that you can never gain cold, you can only have an absence of heat; and it made me think that maybe hatred doesn’t exist, and there’s only an absence of love.
