Hearing Farscape be called niche hurts me deep

I refuse! You can’t prove I’m a nerd!

EYES WIDE OPEN

The city layout

I’m going to second Erased! My family (who vehemently dislike anime) binged the whole thing in one sitting!

My highways are as big as I can get them, 5 lanes to a side

While we’re at it, tge goblin picture selected has a tail . . .

Ah yes, coyotes are my favorite kind of rodent.

That’s pretty wicked!

The revenge arc of the sole surviving orphan hunting down the paladin is going to be legendary, I’m sure

I’m much more in the camp that it’s something Whimsy created. I wouldn’t be surprised if era 4 timeframe we see a bunch of weird space things in the cosmere that were done by Whimsy.

Careful OP, second hand smoking is incredibly dangerous.

It’s a matter of statistics. We know that it can cause a collapse, but depending on the cave it’s not often. We don’t want people to get hurt, so we’re going to warn people against generating heat like that. But with a ton of caves, it would have happened irregularly enough for people to be mostly fine.

Not an expert, but I do have some insights on this. The reason that spelunking doesn’t usually allow fires, even at the entrance, is because the smoke can damage the cave environment. Smoke, especially from things manufactured in a different environment, can contain a lot of wild stuff that interferes wjth an ecosystem. Caves, especially ones big enough for tours, have incredibly unique ecosystems that are ripe for study by biologists.

Additionally, smoke contains unique particles that settle on surfaces. We can study the materials deep in some caves like Mammoth Cave and find evidence of smoke and ash. This is strong evidence for archeologists that ancient people were able to travel deep into this cave.

tl;dr: smoke damages ecosystems and makes archeology difficult. Don’t smoke in a cave.

Well yeah, 2! is just 2

Basically, when it is microwaved the center becomes fluffy and the corn kernal “pops” which is why we call it pop corn.
