The deceased person's body will turn splotchey and cherry red. A lot of people go via nitrous or carbon monoxide. The blood vessels don't like it.

I have one of these stereoscopes! It came with a bunch of nature scenes, but a few slides had 1800s 3D porn too!

I was wondering why it seemed inverted to me. I saw crevasses instead of mountains, but it didn't make sense

This is the epitome of why I love science. It's all about keeping an open mind, because things WILL change as we gather more evidence and study it. I was sharing paleontological facts with my family (who are politically conservative), and because the data is different from the first time they learned about raptors, they refused to believe me. It made so many things make sense. We literally have proof that dinos had feathers, but they didn't want to believe it.

If someone's favorite subject in school was science related, I want to be their friend. Everyone here, you're awesome. Let's keep learning, growing, and making silly memes about it 😁

I'm a postmortem scientist and one of the scariest things I learned in college, was that only 85% of gun suicide attempts were successful. The other 15% survive and nearly all have brain damage. I only know of 2 painless ways to commit suicide, that don't destroy the body's appearance, so they can still have funeral visitation.

I cosplay as Aayla Secura , so I'm a bit biased, but I love Kit Fisto too. He's just this wise, badass (but peaceful) Jamaican, squid-dude; voices by Phil LaMarr; and has the cheekiest smile when he knocks down the C3P0 Frankenstein Droid. He watches over and provides guidance for Ahsoka and it doesn't hurt that he's ripped... and I think the species works better in The Clone Wars... he just seems happy to be a jedi and helping people.

I'm a bit biased, but this dog has saved my life countless times. He learned how to detect my seizures, on his own, and I haven't collapsed or injured myself from a seizure since. This is Avalanche. He's by my side 24/7 and since I'm a cosplayer, he is too!

Thank you! I didn't realize part of the joke was hidden on my app.

My neighbor HATES me because I've been converting my backyard into clover. We have fireflies, Butterflies, bees, bunnies, all sorts of wildlife. It smells beautiful, but we are an oasis amongst upper-middle class lawn zombies... Mowing, edging, pesticide spraying, weed killing zombies.

Meanwhile, I have milkweed, clover, chive, snapdragons, black eyed susans, grapes, raspberries, lilac, echinacea, chamomile, lavender, hydrangea, coreopsis, and salvia. I welcome wasps that eat pests, I buy bags of ladybugs, I compost... I'm really trying. It's only 1/4 an acre, but I'm trying.

They look like a type of Grey mold, to me. Spray it with some neem oil, and it'll go away

I'm terribly confused and would like sources for this statement. I have a medical science degree; and none of my main sources, peers, or anyone in the Endometriosis community mentioned statistics remotely close to that... and I researched it thoroughly because I also had severe PMDD.

It was a wonderful, easy, low-pain, and simple procedure, which gave me my life back... and I was on my feet shortly after. I swear by it, and am severely immunocompromised, so anything healing related that can go wrong will go wrong; yet I'm great, years later, and so so happy.

The main risks mentioned: Periods coming back, bleeding, infection, harder to detect cancer, and (ironically) sterilization.

Could there be another medical procedure that was in mind?

I saw these dress form Christmas Trees for sale and thought it could be improved. I've been making costumes for 13 years and wanted to give myself a challenge. Except for the wig, every piece was handmade.

-I cut up an old skirt to make the corset and used the biggest zip ties as boning

  • Tore apart wreaths for greenery, pinecone, and silver pieces

  • Cut up a hoop skirt and designed a chicken wire underskirt for support

  • Used scrap leather for the harness

  • Hand sewed 160 keychain rings onto the green high-low skirt I made, so branches could be attached

  • Got a bunch of garland from a craft store and had a friend wire cut them into different sizes, to shove into the keychain rings and make it look like a Christmas tree

  • Sewed the collar

  • Modded fake white Poinsettia flowers so they could be attached to the corset, headpiece, and skirt

  • Used a wire, fake cardinal, and pieces ripped from the wreaths to make the Headpiece

I'm so proud and so happy! It was the most time consuming, expensive, and complex costume I've ever made and it's the cleanest and most gorgeous thing I could have imagined!

Though I have no idea where to store it (it's been my literal Christmas tree this season) and the skirt alone weighs about 35lbs. 😅

 

When I got her, she was so small that I had to cut a sock for her to wear as a sweater because nothing fit. She's an Aussalier; half mini Australian Shepherd and half King Charles Cavalier; and the most loving dog.

 

So excited to share my Lady Maria from Bloodborne! I even got to shoot it at an 1800s victorian mansion! Everything is handmade or highly modded. I 3D printed the Rakuyo myself and it does transform like in the game! I'm so happy with how it turned out!

I'm ShelbyEileenCosplay and happy to answer any questions you might have! There's a spicy version of this too.

 
 

I'm a cosplayer, so I make costumes for my service dog too!

 

I’m ShelbyEileenCosplay and am really excited to see that textile arts are included in this instance! I’ve been sewing for 12 years and armor crafting for 10, and competing in cosplay contests for 10. It’s the most challenging and fulfilling hobby I’ve ever tried and I love it so much.
