NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.

Food left in the presence of a banana will soon taste like a banana. This is known. But consider, bananas grow in bunches.
So we must ask, do bananas raised in isolation taste like anything? Is banana flavor an emergent property of group dynamics? #bananas

I just caught my middle child (the eldest) watching a film from the 1940’s. Panicked, I asked if zhe was watching for the purpose of deconstructing and spotting bigoted themes. Zhe said “no, I just really like this movie.”

I feel sick and angry and betrayed.

@Coffee_black19 Sounds like COVID. Is your sense of smell gone too?

I realize this is somewhat niche, but what kind of light did the postmodernists expect us to use in the supermarket?

@cytoskeletown @Caroline_Bartma Thank you. Call Buffalo whatever hoof-footed herbivore you want, but "Upstate New York" is a bridge too far.

Candy Corn is great. If you disagree, then I want to remind you that there are all kinds of trends you be following to seem cool. This hating candy corn trend ain't one of 'em. #candycorn #eatthecandycorn

I'd give up a lot of good things in my life if it meant I could eat like a hobbit every day.

I think the distance between life and standard chemical reactions would shrink substantially if it turns out prokaryote-like organisms are a common occurrence in the universe. That is depressing and exciting all at once. #eukaryotesrule #prokaryotesdrool

The other day I made a cup of coffee that tasted exactly how the grounds smelled before I brewed it (using a standard drip coffee maker).
This was a major step forward in my life, so I thought I'd share it with you all.
