I drive past this every time I visit my mum. There’s a Pokémon go gym on the rock.

Sadly a lot of people’s beliefs don’t give a fuck about science.

You worded that very well. I don’t like people calling out generations like this but struggle on making a well formed reply.

Also it’s odd that they lack the understanding that one day their generation will be the old one and they will be subject to blame. Unless people just stop doing it!

That sounds really good. Just sent the kids/family one to my wife.

There’s so much fun stuff to engage in with kids. I became a dad in my mid 30’s and now realise how much fun stuff there is out there, not just for kids, stuff I didn’t know about until I was a dad.

Organised mushroom hunts, forest walks, science activity centres, family friendly caves, ancient technology centres, so much more.

Bring back brown cars!

Baby this time

There’s no retreat

There’s no surrender

I wanted that one so much.

Last year I found a box full of my old transformers and micromachines. My son and me had great fun playing with them. Sadly the transformers weren’t in good condition.

Oh interesting. I wonder if that is why adverts, even in the 90’s, had silly accents.

I was watching some old British adverts a few weeks ago. I thought to myself that I don’t remembering them sounding the way they do. Might be what helped knock my local accent out of me.

And from what I have heard on science podcasts, the moon is, and has been, and still will be, moving away from the earth. Making the perfect solar eclipse only for a segment of the earth’s history.

Is this like the “queens voice” people used to put on when they answered the phone in the pre-mobile times? We used to laugh at my mum and dad for putting on a posh accent when answering the phone. I’m not aware of people doing that these days but perhaps they do

Flobber dobber dobber

I wonder if there were two buttons, one for the shock, and another which gives them something more rewarding. I wonder how fast or slow they give up on the more rewarding response because that too becomes boring. I suppose like a song that sounds great at first but you hate it after x times

Vegetables are trying to kill us so we won’t eat them

Would this be a star which wasn’t big enough and fizzled out into a big planet?

Where’s the wasp table!?

We try to teach our kids not to lie but then lie to them about Santa. When they question sensible ideas like we don’t have a chimney some other made up lie comes out, prolonging the deception.

That’s the big word I couldn’t remember. I didn’t know apples were the same but that really makes sense now.

I listened to a podcast recently about potatoes. The ones in Europe are all one species. They can’t grow variants from seeds because they have 4 chromosomes which means growing from seeds doesn’t give the same variant. They are basically clones. If a variant is lost it cannot be brought back, it’s gone for good.

I never knew how interesting potatoes are!

That was a well explained reply, thanks!

Or that we are quite literally apes.
