Did you know a rainbow is a full circle? A rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted (bent), reflected inside raindrops, and then refracted again as it exits. This process sends light out at a specific angle — about 42° from the direction opposite the sun — forming a... cone of light. If you trace all those angles around your shadow, they form a complete circle. From the ground, the horizon cuts off the bottom half of the circle, so we usually see just a semicircular arc. You can see the entire circle if you’re high up — in an airplane, on a tall mountain, or looking down from a cliff. Here is a view from an airplane over NE Mississippi last night from David Nullshow more

Rainbows are actually... circles The centre is directly opposite the position of the sun in the sky, this is called the antisolar point A full circle is visible from a higher vantage point Watch this

$As the light passes from water to air, it is refracted. At a critical angle, the light bounces off the internal boundary of the water stream: it's called total internal reflection [📹JaDropping Science:$

NATURE’S OPTICAL TRICK: RAINBOW FORMS BENEATH WATERFALL Wonder how a rainbow can appear at the bottom of a waterfall? It happens when sunlight hits millions of tiny droplets in the mist, bending and reflecting the light. At just the right angle (about 42°), the light splits into its full spectrum. The result? A vivid rainbow perfectly framed by nature. Source: Police Frequency

This is Thursday.. 2:30pm at Circle. It’s the Same distance but Different fare. The “short-short” routine is in full swing. Drivers load from Circle to Old Station, drop, reload to Mile 7, drop, reload again and each stop means another payment. Meanwhile, passengers are stranded, queues growing by the minute, and the cost quietly stacking up. If you don’t own a car, this is your daily reality. You either pay up or stay stuck. For many, this isn’t just a transport issue. It’s a survival issue. And so far, the response hasn’t matched the frustration on the ground. Circle and other stations right now tells a bigger story

You’re driving along and you hit a yellow light which means proceed with caution. You process though the light and a car from the opposite side of traffic makes a left hand turn into your lane and hits you. Who is at fault here and why! Did they both have a right of way or is it debatable. This guy said the cops told him he should have brakes. Do you agree.

Giving birth to a child when you fully know you’re poor, is the real reason why poverty hasn’t gone extinct in life yet. The Circle of poverty keeps going on from generation to generation. I consider it a wicked act if you know fully well that you’re poor and you and your partner still decide to have kids.

🚨BULLISH: CIRCLE AND COINBASE TO WIN BIG FROM STABLECOIN SURGE According to analysts at Bernstein, both Circle and Coinbase 🛡️ can help investors gain exposure to the fast-growing stablecoin sector. The firms have formed a partnership around the $USDC stablecoin and stand to benefit from the growing role of agentic stablecoin payment systems. They may also benefit from regulatory clarity if/when the much-discussed CLARITY Act is passed in the US. Source: The Block

cmon... this is so fun. Prompt here if you want to steal it: Continuous shot with no scene cuts. Camera is traveling forward between trees kanopes and different things are on the tree branches. The light is low, it comes through tall trees and the foliage of leaves casts an interesting patterned shadow and light on to the scene. First we see a tamarin monkey looking very close to the lens, mostly it's face is visible and on of the hand trying to reach through the lens, then a man on his laptop in brown suit and yellow ties with red baseball hat, then a yellow giant snake around a branch, we see the texture of the snake and it's wet skin from a macro view. Then an orangutan taking a selfie then lanterns hanging from the branches then a bunch an area where fluffy clouds mixing with the tree leafs where a plane wreck is smoking and slightly on fire. Handheld documentary style. Natural camera shake. Raw indie film aesthetic. Heavy grain. Natural lighting only. Unpolished, authentic look. Low budget realism. Observational feel.

The Circle 🐜 Nobody told the ant about the circle. That, as far as anyone can tell, is the whole problem. A researcher named Kostowski – this was in the early 1970s, at a laboratory in Warsaw that smelled permanently of formaldehyde and institutional coffee – discovered quite by accident that if you draw a continuous line around an ant using a felt-tip pen, the ant will not cross it. It will walk right up to the line, pause with what appears to be genuine philosophical unease, and turn back. It will do this indefinitely. For hours. Sometimes for days. The ant is not stupid. Let’s be clear about that. The creature you are looking at in this photograph – this tiny, improbable machine of chitin and chemical signals, this six-legged marvel that can carry fifty times its own body weight and navigate by polarized light – has a brain roughly the size of a pinhead, and yet that brain contains approximately 250,000 neurons dedicated entirely to making sense of the world. It has survived as a species for 130 million years. It watched the dinosaurs arrive, flourish, and disappear, and then went back to work. And yet here it is. Trapped by a drawing. The reason is chemistry, not cognition. Ants navigate by pheromones – volatile chemical compounds that their legs read like a blind man reads braille. When they encounter the solvent in a felt-tip pen, something in their nervous system fires an alarm. The signal says: boundary. The signal says: edge of the known world. And the ant, loyal to its chemistry in the way that all of us are loyal to ours, obeys. This is the part that stays with you if you think about it too long. The ant’s prison has no walls. No bars. No lock. It is made entirely of information – a chemical whisper laid down by a felt-tip marker – and the ant cannot see past it, because it has no framework for doing so. The circle is not a circle to the ant. The circle is simply: where the world ends. I find myself thinking about this more than is probably healthy. We are, most of us, walking around inside our own circles. They were drawn for us gradually, by parents and teachers and early disappointments, by the limits of what we saw done and the boundaries of what we were told was possible. We bump up against them occasionally – in those moments when a job offer from another city seems too frightening, or a new idea feels somehow presumptuous – and we turn back. Not because anything is stopping us. Because the world, as far as we can tell, simply ends there. The ant in the photograph is walking the inner edge of its circle with a kind of purposeful calm that is almost admirable. It has not given up. It is still looking. It is still moving. It simply cannot conceive of a direction that leads out. Kostowski, for what it’s worth, eventually just picked the ant up and moved it. Sometimes that’s what it takes. Gandalv / Gandalv

People are criticizing the rainbow cakes at Paris Baguette. In the display you see this beautiful rainbow cake for about $47. People started buying them because of how nice they look. When they get home, they see the outside layer is just a plastic sheet with the rainbow cake texture printed on it. Granted, the inside of it is rainbow once you cut into it, however once you take off the printed plastic you are left with a cake that does not look as nice as what was advertised. Should Paris Baguette offer refunds for false advertising or do you feel this could just be a misunderstanding?
