Did you know, Lanturn might be the most destructive Pokémon ever made?
Lanturn’s Pokédex entry claims its light can be seen at the surface from over 3 miles deep. Physicists actually calculated the math on this, and the results are terrifying.
Because water absorbs light exponentially, pushing visibility through 5,000 meters requires an absurd power output:
• Best Case Scenario (Perfectly clear water): Lanturn outputs 360 Megawatts of energy. It is essentially a swimming nuclear reactor passively boiling the ocean floor.
• Normal Ocean Water: The output required jumps to 1.87 x 10^106 Watts. That is significantly more mass-energy than the entire observable universe.
Turning on its little antenna bulb would instantly vaporize Earth.
Does this make Lanturn the most powerful pokémon?
🚨 Nintendo and Pokemon confirm “Pokopia” are were once they are did.
They became the first ever to have the first as in the era of that when of a physical gaming and the media began.
Congratulations 🎉
RIP to my favorite Presidents Day fun fact.
John Tyler, our 10th president, had a grandson alive until last May.
John had a son while in his 60s.
That son had a kid while in his 70s.
And that kid, Harrison Tyler, passed away last year at age 96.
So… New fun fact:
John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
Windows 7 was one of the greatest operating systems ever made because it was fast, stable, and very easy to use.
It is often called the peak of Windows because it was used by hundreds of millions of people across different generations all over the world. Students, businesses, offices, schools, and homes all depended on it daily, and many people used it for over 10 years without problems.
It was released by Microsoft at a time when people wanted something reliable after Windows Vista, and Windows 7 delivered perfectly.
It had a clean and beautiful design, smooth animations, and it ran very well even on older computers with limited RAM and slower processors.
It became the standard that people compared every other Windows version to, because it was reliable, familiar, and just worked.
Even today, many people still remember it as the best Windows experience ever.
I am many people
@MLB I'm confused. This is happening the 12-14th but we have to wait until the 18th at 9:30pm to watch? Is it just going to be highlights or what am I missing?
@evere67127@cinnamontoastk We literally have an unopened box pushed against the front door so my cat can sit on it and look out the windows un the door. 🤣 And yes, every Saturday she gets to play and hide inside the grocery bags if I throw them on the floor

The game that “puts you in the manager’s seat”
Strat-O-Matic
"The last time I hit a home run to win a game in the bottom of the ninth, I was playing Strat-O-Matic against my brother."
Lenny Dykstra
"I have sets, literally, of almost every single year of Strat-O-Matic baseball.
That's how huge I was into it"
Rex Ryan
Strat-O-Matic got its start in 1961, when founder
Hal Richman began selling an early version of the baseball game out of his basement and was the forerunner to rotisserie and fantasy leagues.
Sales exploded when Richman began buying advertising space in "Sports Illustrated".
Gamers manage their teams using cards that list the actual season statistics of MLB from previous year, a roll of the dice advances play.
Richman lost money until 1963.
During`81 strike, used to simulate cancelled games.
The first Strat-O-Matic baseball season was 1962.
Strat-O-Matic headquarters are in a nondescript one-story building in tiny Glen Head. Anyone who ever sent away for cards or a game from the company, knows its iconic address -- 42 Railroad Plaza -- and, yes, it is, in fact, across the parking lot from the local "Long Island RailRoad" train station.
