So, let’s say there’s a species of bacteria that is known to dwell in Greek yogurt. How long would it take before that species of yogurt-dweller only has modern descendants different enough to qualify as one or more new species?

I’m tempted to start making oddly specific small statues made of random materials, maybe with limbs pointing to the previous statue in a sequence. Is there a better method?

When I say “fake fireplace”, I mean something like those structures fueled by fossil methane that produce flame and heat but obviously don’t burn actual wood

For example, why did zinc, of all things, start getting utilized by brain and prostate tissue in humans?

Just as an example, there were evidently reports during the 2007 Glasgow airport attack that someone attempting to subdue the assailant and assist police kicked said attacker in the testicles… but somehow managed to do so hard enough to injure one of their own foot tendons.

Edit: I assume we’d at least have to take intended acceleration and the mass of the spacecraft into account, at least, right?

:::spoiler spoiler So it’s possible to quickhack the cops that try to ambush you during this quest. Part of me still want to physically Elmer-glue their kiroshis to TV screens and forcibly educate them on the difference between Raffen Shivs and Aldecaldos rather than kill them, but at least they’re easier for pure Netrunner...
