To increase fingertip friction in the slippery environment. Your heart slows down too when you enter water as a survival mechanism

Simple logic.

I would have gone with the fact they evolved in what is now the Himalayas.

Have you considered walking on your feet instead? It lowers the risk of drowning significantly as well.

so rare to learn anything from the posts in this sub, let alone a great one like this about everyday things. great post

from the article, it seems to be some sort of adhesive tape over a painted surface.

> Part of the problem is that unlike most of Mondrian’s earlier works, New York City I does not bear the artist’s signature, possibly because he hadn’t deemed it finished.

> In spite of all the evidence pointing to the work being currently displayed upside down, the work will be shown the way it has hung for 75 years in the new Mondrian. Evolution show that opens in Düsseldorf on Saturday.

> “The adhesive tapes are already extremely loose and hanging by a thread,” Meyer-Büser said. “If you were to turn it upside down now, gravity would pull it into another direction. And it’s now part of the work’s story

For all of my early life, I got super pruney when my hands got wet. Bathing, swimming, doing dishes, etc. Much moreso than the rest of my family or my friends. And it stayed that way for a long time afterwards and felt funny.

Then at age 30, I was diagnosed and treated for diabetes, and suddenly the hand pruniness went completely away. I only get it at a very small level now.

It's one of a ton of improvements to my skin that I saw after I started being treated.

I'm pretty sure my mom had this pattern on a table cloth in the 80s when I was a kid.

If people who know art can't figure out which way to hang your painting, then you've failed at creating art.

Hey man I don't like rich people making a mockery out of the fine arts with extensive money laundering schemes either, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Some of us actually like abstract art.

Not painted??

See, you get it. Why narrow your definition of art and close your heart off to all the wonderful forms of expression out there?

Not sure this is true but I have a degree in graphic design and I had a teacher tell me that men see yellows and greens a little bit better than women do because when hunting they'd have to see movement in grass etc. Was told to be aware of over correcting for yellows and greens when colour correcting photos and things.

I can confirm this firsthand

Pun intended

a lot of people who hate abstract art think art should just be about the skill to replicate reality instead of conveying feeling or a vibe, and that seems kind of empty to me

Eh… I liked it the other way.

And moist

Whilst being wet
