this is the “marsthon wrist compass” if you ever find a less paracord-esque alternative do let me know hahaha
a black watch with a compass for a face
I have run into this Exact problem, I have a tiny compass on my backpack strap that is so nice for quickly orienting coming out of a subway. Was trying to find a watch compass and I liked this one that is just a full compass, but yeah this image came from, im not kidding, fullmetaljacket dot com
A new study shows that sauropods during the Late Jurassic period were what scientists call “ecosystem engineers”: creatures that dramatically shaped the ecosystems around them. spklr.io/6003D4Sif

I’m at magfest!! (along with too many commander decks)
If you spot me say hi!
Did I rip off a Ze Frank video for my own??
No, but it’s a good excuse to talk about what is and isn’t copying in the world of science videos!
YAY!!! HYPE!!!!
Getting to be on an end of year quiz show is truly a dream come true and there’s no bunch of folks more funny and insightful to recap this wild year on the internet!
Caitlin Doughty’s other book From Here to Eternity is also fantastic!! Stylistically different from Smoke, less of a memoir, but god damn just full of incredible scenes from around the world trying to understand death
HAHAHA
Wow!! thats awesome :)
You know what, I genuinely appreciate it, and I will actually bring it up to the Sci Am crew to put credits more clearly, cause I agree with you on that.
Thank you for hearing me out and being willing to change your mind, i really do appreciate it.
It just sucks to hear this though, like it hurts dude. I worked hard on this and now the top comment is accusing me of something thats not true!!
Perhaps, also on other social platforms we more extensively cite and list our sources, harder on bluesky
But listen I can understand wanting to defend your favorite science creators, I totally do, especially in a post Hbomberguy Plagiarism world. And science creators don’t get enough credit
