and if you live in PA, Jersey, NY, and some other east coast states: you have Wawa - and that is not declining.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL black holes also regurgitate matter such as stars that they suck in by Desolecontra
LOL - literally nothing escapes a black hole.
Hawking radiation does not escape a black hole. It exists only because nothing can escape a black hole. The particle is created on the outside of the event horizon while the antiparticle is created on the inside of the event horizon and can't escape to destroy the matching particle
Stellar masses that are ejected don't pass the event horizon either. It doesn't escape, it gets whirl-pooled around it and thrown out before it gets sucked in.
So, yes, nothing can escape a black hole. But your statement is incomplete.
Instead, say "nothing can escape a black hole once it has passed the event horizon."

Reply to comment by monkeypox_69 in TIL DNA transfer does not only occur "vertically", that is, from parent to progeny. There is also a form of DNA transfer known as horizontal or intracellular DNA transfer, which consists in a piece of DNA being transferred from the genome of one cell to that of another—including between species. by DioriteLover
This is true of all animals and fish though - so if we're aliens then so are every other animals

Reply to comment by Sdog1981 in TIL that the Hawaii’s Maunakea Volcano, the world’s tallest mountain, (10,210 m or 33,500 ft from base to peak) was first ascended successfully over three days in February 2021. Over half of it is underwater. by Fantastic_Ad1613
They used a submarine to do the underwater part - so why should we count that?

Reply to TIL love is as strong as illegal drugs. When you fall in love the same part of your brain is stimulated as when you take mind-altering substances like cocaine. by Canes-Venaticii
This headline and article is a good example of why statistics class is important for the general public. This isn't how data works. The sample size was only 15 - and they were all of a single demographic - and then they used a flawed technique to jump to a pre-drawn conclusion - and then applied the results to the entire population of the earth.
No, no, and no.

Reply to comment by DistortoiseLP in TIL, if all the DNA in your body was stretched out, it would reach from the Earth to the Sun. And back. 18 times. by substantial-freud
Yeah - some religious org shouldn't be used as a source for science articles

Reply to TIL after another band backed out, Malcolm McLaren suggested Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees play the 100 Club Punk Special. At the time, the band consisted only of Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin, so they had to borrow two musicians, one of which was Sid Vicious (who played drums). by man_itsahot_one
Robert Smith from the Cure played with them as well for a while - and that's where he got his signature look.
Go look at any videos of him prior to playing with them - and then check him out in every video since.

I'd argue that wawa has more for sale than a bodega these days.
You aren't getting custom made sandwiches in 7-11, and the coffee at 7-11 is like army coffee
