Even if this is true, it still isn't grounds for denying the anthropogenic nature of climate change and ocean acidification. One bad apple does not spoil the bunch. This whole thing stinks of an ExxonMobil False Flag.

Is it possible that, given enough time, animals could fully adapt to an urban/human-dominated environment?

Define "fully adapt"
Define "animals" (which animals)
>>
>>8661299

Sure, why not.
>>
>>8661300
>Define "fully adapt"
Mainly exploiting any possible niches that may become available, or taking over niches that been emptied.

>Define "animals" (which animals)
Any animals adaptable enough to survive. (snakes, rats, crows, pigs, etc.)
Should've included plants, too.

It seems really straight-forward until you dissect it for a millisecond and see that it's bullshit.

Also what the guru says adds nothing to the riddle.

Assume you are now in a post-apocalyptic scenario where shit has totally hit the fan, leaving only 11 of your neighbors and yourself having survived this catastrophe that has totally destroyed modern civilization. What knowledge, chosen in the form of academic degrees up to the PhD level for each member of your small group, would you consider the most useful to your long-term survival?

>You
>Neighbor 1
>Neighbor 2
>Neighbor 3
>Neighbor 4
>Neighbor 5
>Neighbor 6
>Neighbor 7
>Neighbor 8
>Neighbor 9
>Neighbor 10
>Neighbor 11

There are correct and incorrect answers. This group must be able to solve any problem and rebuild society or you will all die off within the first generation.

It is highly unlikely that there is any significant populations that have survived of more than a few dozen people, and more likely that only other tiny groups like yours are scattered around in tiny pockets of the world, and it is completely unknown to you if they possess the knowledge or skills capable of making any kind of contact with you, that is if they survive long enough at all to ever have the opportunity to do so in the first place, or if you'd even want to contact them in fear of hostility.

What interesting misconceptions do people have?

I have heard that glass slowly drips because it is amorphous and that you can see this effect on old stained glass windows.

However, I have discovered I have been lied to!

Apparently, those were just defects in the glass windows,

MSG is not bad.

It's found in a ton of foods such as: tomatoes, mushrooms, and parmesan cheese.

>When preschoolers spend time around one another, they tend to take on each others’ personalities, indicates a new study by Michigan State University researchers, which suggests personality is shaped by environment and not just genes.

Holy shit how can they take themselves seriously? The entirety of their research can be summed up as 'people have an effect on each other'.

You never posting here again to improve /sci/.

Answer me this /sci/

I've never really followed the works of Tesla so the answer eludes me...

Why is Tesla's modern fan base seemingly made up of the most fedora tipping spergs, people who think Anonymous are cool, and "Woooow, open your mind maaaaaaan" type new age hippies.

Like real fucking mouthbreathers. No Newton, no Maxwell, no Gauss or Euler. Hell they probably don't even know most of those names.

Not shitting on Tesla or his work, but I just want to understand the cult of personality around him.

It's because he's an "underdog story" that normies can latch onto. There's also the conspiracy theory-like aspect that people can believe that they're privy to some kind of secret knowledge that has been suppressed by Edison or some shit.
>>
>>8656073
Normies don't love Tesla, they love the romanticized idea of him - the guy who the media portrays as being ahead of his time and suppressed by LE EVIL CAPITALISTS like Edison.

In all honesty Tesla didn't really make that many meaningful contributions. He developed the first successful AC induction motor, popularized alternating current, and repeated a bunch of radio wave experiments that other people did first and (frankly) did better.

That's about it.

Yet according to the internet he invented everything from the lightbulb to the kitchen sink.

The sun is not disintegrating

the sun is not a comet.

with a comet, the ice in it changes from solid to gas, releasing the dust inside.
then solar wind sweeps the evaporated material and dust to form the tail

Why are Flat Earthers always denying a million other things along with the roundess of Earth like the relativity of motion.

Is there a largest number? Surely, numbers can only go as high as there is information in the physical universe.

I can imagine something going 300,000,001kph, but that doesn't mean anything will ever go that fast.

Is the concept of infinity fallacious?

>>8660345
Information can't be compressed infinitely. Eventually, we would run out of material in the universe to represent or simulate a higher number.

When infinity was explained to me, I was told to imagine the largest number and then add one.

What happens when you physically cannot add one?

(Assuming the universe is finite)
