Do Home Depot employees ever wonder what the customers’ projects are? More specifically, do they wonder about mine?
One of my brothers works at Home Depot and the other works at Ace. I can confirm that they DO wonder.
“So this customer just… went in and bought every single tube of silicone we had. It wasn’t many, to be fair, but then they also bought a bunch of dirt. They were really fussy about the TYPE of soil too.”
“They’re a reptile keeper and they’re making a new vivarium. I can guarantee it. Ask them what species they keep next time. I want to know.”
Close-Up of the First Mechanical Gear Ever Found in Nature
The biological form of a mechanical gear was observed in nature for the first time in juvenile planthoppers (Genus: Issus), a common insect that can be found in gardens across Europe.
The insect has hind-leg joints with curved cog-like strips of opposing ‘teeth’ that intermesh, rotating like mechanical gears to synchronize the animal’s legs when it launches into a jump. The finding demonstrates that gear mechanisms previously thought to be solely man-made have an evolutionary precedent.
Two more designs by @davidorogenic are now available! This time, he’s revisiting the good old battle between #TeamMammal vs #TeamDinosaur. Pick a side and let us know what you want to see next!
