@benschulz a very #mastodon themed #BedtimeScience 🐘🥳😍

#Elephants may have been #domesticated 🐘 by themselves https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2208607120 Like humans and bonobos, they have reduced aggression, are extra social, have long childhoods, like to play, and are highly vocal #BedtimeScience

Plants scream when stressed ☘️🌾🌿😱 https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(23)00262-3 #Plants produce high pitched staccato pops when they dry out or are wounded. We can't hear them, but many animals can. #BedtimeScience https://youtu.be/HMcg41YKfQo

Billions of years ago waves on a shallow lake formed ripples in the bottom sediment, which became frozen in stone for us to see today. On #Mars. https://mars.nasa.gov/news/9344/nasas-curiosity-finds-surprise-clues-to-mars-watery-past/ #BedtimeScience

#Bigfoot sightings correlate with bear numbers, so many supposed sightings are probably misidentified #bears https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.01.14.524058v2 Or alternatively, and a possibility the authors neglect - Bigfoot eat bears 😱 #BedtimeScience

Thick peaty bogs buried beneath deep deposits of sand, topped with volcanic basalt, uplifted by continental drift and plutons of underlying granite, and dissected by deeply eroding swift flowing water #BlueMountains https://lithgow-tourism.com/geology.htm #BedtimeScience

@benschulz always thought I should visit kangaroo point! Great local #bedtimescience 😊😊👍

Pyroclastic flows of ash from huge volcanic eruptions 226 million years ago were compacted and welded together to form Brisbane #tuff, used to build many heritage-listed Brisbane buildings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brisbane_tuff #BedtimeScience

#JWST's first glimpse of the #TRAPISST-1 system of rocky worlds in the habitable zone of their star only 39 light years away confirmed their atmospheres aren't deep primordial hydrogen, but could be thin like Earth, Venus, and Mars https://earthsky.org/space/trappist-1-exoplanets-webb-telescope/ #BedtimeScience

New microbes just dropped 🦠 Provora (devouring voracious protists) hunt other protists in water all over the world. Two types: Nebulidia eat prey whole, while Nibbleridia use denticles 🤭 to nibble bits from prey larger than themselves https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05511-5 #BedtimeScience

Swear words have to sound like they mean it. Soft approximant sounds like L, R, W and Y rarely make the cut, across many different languages. https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/973060 https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13423-022-02202-0 #BedtimeScience
