Butterflies can remember things from their time as a caterpillar.
These memories are retained after going through metamorphosis, the breakdown of their caterpillar form into a cellular soup (or partial soup).

Seen with my own eyeballs?

But I’m pretty sure they post to Mastadon and it is visible here on Lemmy. Or maybe they have accounts on Lemmy.

2·14 days agoChisel-toe tines are all the rage, this season!
Breaking traction when driving through a puddle.
I assumed they are super heavy and would stick to the ground, nope.
The tyres are essentially treadless drift-tyres, and any water on a polished concrete surface will allow some sliding.
This was without load and no crash ensued, just a momentary boost in adrenaline as 1.5 tons is moving a different direction as expected.
Example:
5·16 days agoThe same car mod term in the 50s was ‘hotrodding’.
The two mirrors(2m x 1.5m) installed in the exposed brick, narrow, central room of the house, make such a massive difference to the amount of light available from the skylight, and give a feeling of extra roominess.
One mirror was down for the day during an AC install, and the feeling in the space was noticeably more closed-in.
I was not invested in the outcome of the argument, just seeing how far they were willing to take being wrong about aerodynamics/physics. Quite far it turns out.
So dumb.
Hour argument, that the final cliff fall scene in Predator 1 was two different jumps in the 2 cuts.
Can see in the first one he is rotating. Second cut is a straight plumb drop into the water.
How were the rotational moments counteracted?
They weren’t, it’s two different jumps/takes.
2 friends came up with some hair-brained arguments that you could stop rotating on the way down. (눈_눈)
The only way would be air resistance, and hands/arms is not going to be enough to create drag to counter the rotation.

People are mentioning ‘OOM Killer’ which may have similar features, I have not tried it out.
I’ve had this on previous laptops, and gave up on using Sleep mode, just used full shutdown every time.
Once fully frozen, it’s not really able to be saved.
Is it a full freeze? Press CAPS-LOCK or NUM-LOCK to see if the hardware is still responding.
If it is, it might just be a DE freeze. Try to SSH into into your frozen device, from another PC or phone.
Or press CTRL-ALT-F7 to see if you can switch to a terminal and login.
Once in, use ps -ef, or top to see and kill what might be causing a freeze.
Turn on auto-save in LibreOffice(you usually only lose a sentence or 3 words with this on).
Investigate IDEs with auto-backup or an autosaved change-history.

To diagnose whether you have bad RAM, boot from a LiveUSB distro and use it for a day or week.
If no freezes, reinstall a fresh OS.
If it still freezes, get new RAM, or replace whole PC/laptop.
It is an incredible solo-effort, with largely simplistic features.
As a usable OS, it’s a fever-dream curiosity.

I’m not sure if that’s right, but you can use it.
