I think this was a joke about flat earth?

The Elasticity (physics) entry doesn't have a single image.

But the sister entry has so many. Obviously not the same authors at all.

Plasticity (physics) Non-reversible deformation of a solid material in response to applied forces

The elastic band would probably need more conformations to illustrate that only the slack deformation is plastic.

I hope someone recreates theses pictures with CC license and posts them to the respective Wikipedia entries

I don't know if this is a copy pasta but it's awesome. Let me just post this and I'll edit with the link https://sh.itjust.works/comment/21244535

"I want to pollinate you and cover you in pine cones," he whispered and she felt her sap run hot with desire. She shivered from more than the cool spring wind on her bark. His needles moved against hers in the breeze, tickling and prickling her deliciously and she could tell his wood was knotted and hard as his sticky sap dripped from it. She craved to feel him against her, branches and bark and overwhelming passion. And then she felt it, the microspores of his grainy discharge, carrying his potent gametophytes, exploded into her, settling among her needles. Her bark tingled with exquisite, syngamic release as her branches quivered in the cool spring wind and deep inside her ovules she felt his gametes fuse with hers. "Yes," she whispered in the wind. "Take me! Fertilize me! Give me your nuts!" "You know I'm your half brother," he whispered as she shuddered in climax. "I don't care," she whispered back. "That makes it hotter."

Or normal beetles that don't die in winter because it doesn't get cold enough due to global warming created by...

The Gigantopithecus is the largest extinct primate and the gorilla is the largest extant primate. They are both primates. So are humans but we already have an idea about how big humans can get.

Edit: I should have included something on the average size of gorillas though since these Giganto sizes are approximately averages.

Bet the sex was as freaky as the molecular biology of plants. Trying to understand how conifers got their freak on over 200 million years ago? Fool's errand.

Wikipedia on gorillas:

The heaviest wild gorilla recorded was a 1.83 m (6 ft 0 in) silverback shot in Ambam, Cameroon, which weighed 267 kg (589 lb).[30] The tallest gorilla in captivity was Gust, a western lowland gorilla that was captured as a baby in Belgian Congo and spent his life at Antwerp Zoo. He was 2.20 m (7 ft 3 in) tall. Males in captivity can be overweight and reach weights up to 310 kg (683 lb).

No, it's "surveillance year | birth year" and only every other value is listed. It would be nicer with a numerical value but it's fine.

It takes the resources it takes. Can't just go "we're stopping doing science because it uses plastic, sorry everyone".

Also used a heap of tips (unless it's the kind that washes, those are weird)

Multi-channel pipette goes brrrrrr

Weird to think that deer descended from krill eaters. Maybe that's why they love salt licks so much.

Was the common ancestor carnivorous or herbivorous?

People shit on Gollum but if I were 500 I'd be absolutely bonkers too

So it's not regression to the mean?

Yeah, that's kinda weird

I'm busy playing boardgames. And it was a fact. Mission accomplished.

Cloning is fairly common. Like aphids will clone during spring and summer and then do sex in autumn.

I stopped when one of them succeeded and reported it in my paper
