Artist Heather Dewey buildt software that models faces using DNA data 20 comments

It has nothing to do with the DNA modeling, it's actually perfectly legal to collect DNA from "garbage", like chewing gum. If you threw it away, anyone else can take it and use it, however they'd like.

That is the correct pronunciation:

.
I suppose if you say it fast you might say it something like:
LIT - RA - LEE
but this is not the actual pronunciation.

There's always another side of the story 11 comments
funstats · 9 years ago
I don't think the right side is meant to mean anything on its own. It's the left side and both sides together that have meaning.

Actually it'll work just fine, the flash drive gets power from your computer anyway. To the flash drive, it's just plugged into a computer that's not accessing any files. No damage will be done:

Saturn's Moons 10 comments
funstats · 9 years ago
Saturn has 62 moons, but you'll find a bunch of numbers online because they're still discovering more! And some are so small, do they even count? I say if these puny rocks can be moons, Pluto deserves to be a planet!
Also, consider that we're all wrong. There are probably more that we haven't even seen yet.
.
"The moons of Saturn are numerous and diverse ranging from tiny moonlets less than 1 kilometer across to the enormous Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury. Saturn has 62 moons with confirmed orbits, 53 of which have names and only 13 of which have diameters larger than 50 kilometers."

I remember someone a while back saying it didn't work on their phone because the URL was the mobile version. If it starts with m.youtube.com, remove the m. part and see if it works. Just an idea.

From context it seems to be "for the win" in this post. It can also mean other, less positive things.

Several people from various countries were working on this link at around the same time (1930-1960). Hitler did run an anti-smoking campaign. Here's a German poster of a cigarette eating a man:

Weirdest fact yet?

Yes. It is possible, but unlikely. Sperm can live for days as long as they don't dry out.

Actually, Twilight was recommended two or three times One person felt the need to apologize for liking Twilight, saying that they enjoyed the books despite hating the movies.

It seems that Fifi59766 suggested that title on the FunSubstance History 3 survey, although that doesn't seem to actually be a FunSubstance username. Mysterious...
