Nature abhors a vaccuum

From Wikipedia:

According to the Christian writer Clement of Alexandria, Dionysus was guided in his journey by Prosymnus or Polymnus, who requested, as his reward, to be Dionysus' lover. Prosymnus died before Dionysus could honor his pledge, so to satisfy Prosymnus' shade, Dionysus fashioned a phallus from a fig branch and penetrated himself with it at Prosymnus' tomb. This story survives in full only in Christian sources, whose aim was to discredit pagan mythology, but it appears to have also served to explain the origin of secret objects used by the Dionysian Mysteries.

Thanks! Couldn't find a date in the article

Who's we?

They'll probably stay in zoos or preserves.

They were here pretty recently, their food is still here. It was cruel that we extincted them.

I don't think palatable nutritional vegan cat food exists, at least none with any empirical evidence its safe for cats long-term.

I was stung by a bullet ant (see username).

I think "used to be" is key here. After 911 there were tons of violent anti Muslim videos.

People prefer happy lies over scary truth

Good rule in general

Didn't have anything to do with Thomas.

 

Imagine a sealed container filled with any amount of liquid water at any constant temperature and pressure where water can be liquid. Is the air in the container necessarily at 100% relative humidity?
