Formic acid is named after the scientific name for ants, and is also known as "ant acid" because they make it.
That's probably the sour part of the taste you described, since acids tend to be. (Think citric or vinegar)

That's exactly what the article I linked was about.

In the US it means exactly "Not conservative (or centrist)". Same as left-wing, progressive, etc. There just isn't really any distinction or nuance, and I only learned after joining Lemmy that outside the US, liberal has a completely different meaning, and basically means capitalist as far as I can tell.

Lack thereof.

Oh sure, I am sure they weren't saying humanity would last that long (although technology may help), just 'any plants'.

I recently saw an estimate of around 2 billion more years.

I think civilization in its current form may end, and with it billions of people, but as a species we are pretty adaptable, I think there will be lots of survivors and they will be able to thrive eventually.

But I think it's even more likely that there won't be any one big collapse, and things will either oscillate or reach a steady equilibrium for millennia to come.

I can't do it I just make too many mistakes and would look like a teenager ki never even typed life that add a ten actually)

Actual gambling (in actual Las Vegas): around $10.

I got dictionary also, I think that's the highest category
