  • I’m a bit doubtful of the animation they show in the article. There are active continental rift zones in East Africa and Asia, at lake Baikal, which doesn’t show any movement during the animation. The San Andreas fault isn’t shown having any movement in the animation either. Additionally, Europe and Africa are currently moving away from North and South America, but change direction in the animation so the four continents come together without explanation of data suggesting the direction reversal.

    It seems like this is a “what if?” sort of thought experiment as opposed to based on actual data. I mean, even current direction of plates could change tomorrow in an unpredictable way, so there’s no knowing either way.

    Not that it really matters in any case.

    I thought “chat” with a hard “t” in French meant “piss”, cat is pronounced “cha”. I was told this by a French speaker when I was talking about a “chat noir” poster, using a hard “t” and they said “you’re sayong black piss! The “t” is silent for cat”.

    Can anyone confirm? I feel this is important for this post, “chat gpt” could mean “piss, I farted”










  • I’m not sure she’s correct about milk melting faster than cream or that the “deflates” if you whip too much air into it.

    One of the three main differences between the ice cream and gelato is air content. ice cream has more air and doesn’t loose it over night; it would be bubbly too with all the air escaping. Gelato melts quicker because it is served 10 to 15 degrees F warmer than ice cream (this main differences).

    Low air content and warmer temp is why gelato is smoother.
