Mortsafes, placed over graves to deter grave robbers by sivribiber in creepy

[–]sivribiber[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mortsafes were contraptions designed to protect graves from disturbance. Resurrectionists had supplied the schools of anatomy in Scotland since the early 18th century. This was due to the necessity for medical students to learn anatomy by attending dissections of human subjects, which was frustrated by the very limited allowance of dead bodies - for example the corpses of executed criminals - granted by the government, which controlled the supply

Scientists have found a way to make memory chips perform computing tasks, which is traditionally done by computer processors. This means data could be processed in the same spot where it is stored, leading to much faster and thinner computers. by sivribiber in science

Trump’s inability to tolerate critics may be his biggest problem by sivribiber in politics

[–]sivribiber[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As self-evident as it may be, Trump operates in a world in which someone’s worth (whether it is Schumer or Ryan or Russian President Vladimir Putin) is a direct reflection of whether he is saying nice things about Trump. This may be one reason he relies so heavily on his children; they know better than to insult him or to challenge him in ways that prompt him to lash out. (They are, in a word, enablers.)

TIL Stalin had a secret lab to analyze the feces of other foreign leaders for the purpose of constructing psychological portraits. For example, a leader with high levels of tryptophan was assumed to be calm and approachable, while a lack of potassium indicated a nervous disposition. by KermitTheSnail in todayilearned

7 layer tea in Bangladesh by sivribiber in oddlysatisfying

[–]sivribiber[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Romesh Ram Gour, from Srimongol in the county’s north-east Sylhet region, has become a local legend as the inventor of a multi-layer tea.

For him, it’s not about the combination of different temperatures, but different colours and flavours. He manages to get seven of them (sometimes even 10) in one glass (around £1), all lining up like a dusky rainbow. Each sip delivers a different taste, from syrupy sweet to spicy cloves.
