Lake Shittytiticaca is upstream and feeds into Lake Titicaca

Reply to TIL: Thanks to poor internal communication at NASA, information about a spacesuit water leak wasn't properly communicated. Later, Astronaut Luca Parmitano almost drowned on a July, 2013 ISS space walk, his helmet filling with several liters of water before they could get him back inside. by OvidPerl
I don't agree how OP or the article writes "thanks to poor internal comms", but I think it's worth to watch the interview and how the communication went. The situation itself was scarier than just getting flooded with water. They were doing a job where you can't just run away. They were doing space walk and stuff, and any mishaps will get him yeeted out into the void. And they sound calm and collected while trying not to die.

Drowning in water while being in outer space, what are the chances?

Reply to TIL that Australia's longest serving aircraft carrier never fired a shot in anger during her service, but did kill over 150 Allied soldiers in two separate accidental ramming incidents by nyckidd
They nicknamed her HMAS Can Opener, since destroyers are sometimes called tin cans.

There are extremely rare exceptions to pretty much everything.

Its inside the mother, using the mothers energy and nutrients. Maybe my use of "make" is a bit basic, but i think it still counts

The father only provides some genes. All the nutrients and whatever comes from the mother. The mother absolutely provides way more than the father

That may be, however, the mother still makes it with the fathers genes

> In the type where two sperms fertilize one egg, a fetus can form in addition to the abnormal cystic placenta, but it's typically nonviable.
Typically??

Considering the mother’s body creates said egg the placenta is still made by the mother

Dunno exactly, but for whatever reason your hands/feet getting pruney in water is not a physical reaction from water entering your skin, its something your nerves cause in response to detecting water.
People with nerve damage to hands/feet don't get pruney hands/feet.
Also why it doesn't happen to the skin anywhere else on your body.

You'd think NASA would have learned after their shitty internal communication ended in the Challenger explosion and traumatized an entire generation of schoolchildren 😒

Reply to comment by Cookielover4k in TIL: A Mambo No. 5 cover by Bob the Builder went to number 1 in the UK on 9th September 2001, but was removed from BBC radio playlists after the 9/11 attacks as it was ‘too frivolous’ by gnomageddon7
"the BBC failed to see the funny side and banned the song for being too morbid"
It was in the early sixties and they were very conservative back in those days.
