Things People Don't See Everyday

Maybe, you have indeed not seen a lot of these rare sights. The world is filled to the brim with strange, unexplainable, and unexpected phenomenon. It's when one's expectations are shattered, and reality surprises them with a curveball, that they can feel most alive. These wild things are certainly not seen everyday.

Truckers Reacting to Exploding Mill

Amazingly, no one was injured in this Jay, Maine paper mill explosion. And as an interesting bonus we have the commentary of all the guys in their trucks watching the whole thing go down. Around a minute in, the pulp starts to land.

Tumblr Goes Full Mythological Scientist On Dragon Evolution

A flamethrower is by no means a precision weapon. This fun Tumblr thread considers why dragons would have eyes on the sides of their heads. It sounds like it could be because they place the greatest value in the field of view (when considering other predators) over depth perception.

1.

Vertebrate - ll youSee 4G e 20.41 O 59 % 4 galahadwilder A sudden, terrifying thought When you see an animal with its eyes set to the front, like wolves, or humans, that's usually a predator animal.

2.

Bovine - If you see an animal with its eyes set farther back, though-to the side-that animal is prey. Now look at this dragon.

3.

Cg artwork - Now look at this dragon. See those eyes? CM

4.

Dragon - They're to the SIDE. O Nicolás Pera - Amisigaudi This raises an interesting-and terrifying- question.

5.

Text - perfectly-generic-blog The eyes-in-the-front thing (usually) only applies to mammals. Crocodiles, arguably the inspiration for dragons, have eyes that look to the sides despite being a predator. pyrrhiccomedy hey what up l'm about to be That Asshole This isn't a mammalian thing. When people talk about 'eyes on the front' or 'eyes on the side, they're really talking about binocular vision vs monocular vision. Binocular vision is more advantageous for predators because it's what gives you d

Text - (The eyes-in-front = predator / eyes-on-sides %3D %3D prey thing holds true far more regularly for birds than it does for mammals. Consider owls, hawks, and falcons vs parrots, sparrows, and doves.) But it's not like binocular vision is inherently "better" than monocular vision. It's a trade-off: you get better at leap-strike-kill, but your field of vision is commensurately restricted, meaning you see less stuff. Sometimes, the evolutionary benefit of binocular vision just doesn't outweig

7.

Text - For example, if you are a crocodile, there is a decent chance that a hippo will cruise up your shit and bite you in half. I'd say that makes monocular vision worthwhile. Which brings us back to OP's point. Why would dragon evolution favor field of view over depth perception? A lot of the stories l've read painted the biggest threats to dragons (until knights with little shiny sticks came along) as other dragons. Dragons fight each other, dragons have wars. And like fish, a dragon would ne

Tumblr User Shares Rad Rock Collection

This quick and fun Tumblr thread features all kinds of cool rocks. Anyone geeking out over something like rocks (which are awesome) is a whole lot of fun for the rest of the world. The passion shines through. We love it.

1.

Rock - Though you may assume this is a Small Rock, it is in fact a very Large Rock, and also a very Heavy Rock, but most especially a very Square Rock, which is what makes it particularly cool.

2.

Rock - reddpenn Anyway, do you guys want to see my Cool Rocks? This is my grandfather's rock. It is Probably a Garnet, which he mined out himself when he was in college studying to be a geologist.

3.

Product - Here we have a rock which used to be a tree. This rock is petrified wood! It was one of my very first Cool Rocks!

4.

Turtle - Speaking of rocks that used to be things that were not rocks, this rock is Petoskey stone! This rock used to be a coral. Let's get a good look at those patterns.

5.

6.

Rock - Amethyst? It's an Okay Rock. If you are looking for an inexpensive rock to start your collection, amethyst is the way to go. It's a quartz with a deep purple color. A very nice, if average, rock.

7.

Mineral - Now citrine... Citrine is a Cool Rock! It's a smoky quartz with a lovely honey color. The druzy on my chunk of citrine has a wonderful sparkle.

8.

Turquoise - This is my Amazonite! It grew that hexagon shape all by itself! This specimen is from Colorado.

9.

Hand - Look at this shiny little slice of rock! This rock is Tiger Iron, and those bands of red and orange glow beautifully with some light behind them. These different colored bands are made from Hematite (the dark silver), Jasper (the red- orange), and Tiger-Eye quartz (the yellow- orange).

10.

Green - Here's a rock you've probably seen before! This Cool Rock is Malachite. The patterns and rings are from the stalagmites this little egg was carved from.

11.

Dish - Whoa, look at this giant slab of Extremely Cool Rock!! These crystals formed in the cracks of fossilized mud, to make the awesome patterns in this geode of Septarian! This is my second best rock.

12.

Rock - This is my Best and most Favorite Cool Rock. In this dark room it's a dull little grey rock, but if I move it closer to the light..

13.

Rock - Those glints of gold! Those veins of blue! This rock is most certainly Labradorite, which changes color spectacularly when the light hits it just right. Let's put it in direct sunlight.

14.

Diamond - Yes! YES! There it is! The Best and Coolest Rock!!!!!
