This is a squirting cucumber so called because of its ability to launch its seeds in a stream of mucilaginous liquid, up to 6 metres away. Such dispersal avoids plants competing in close proximity for resources Video credits: Smithsonian Channel

@SmithsonianChan in my language it's called "cocomero asinino" (asinine watermelon) and it never occurred to me that it doesn't really look like a watermelon; it turns out that the two words share the same etymology (from Latin "cucumis")

Using applied maths, we have just decoded one of the most rapid motions in the plant kingdom: the squirting cucumber. Published today in PNAS, our work reveals how the stem stiffens to optimise the angle at which the fruit squirts its seeds in a jet of slime:

Widows Bay Kate O'Flynn I have committed your name to memrory and will now start the process of smiling ear to ear everytime your name appears in credits because not only is this a brilliant bit of reinforcement as to character psychology, but an incredible show of ability in its execution..

President of Finland Alexander Stubb: "I think Canada in terms of its hold, composure, its value base is so close to the EU that the least we can do is to forge a really close strategic partnership. I can envisage a much larger EU, whether Canada is a part of it or not, is up to Canada to decide."

3 years of Russian aggression. 3 years of unspeakable war crimes. Ukraine deserves peace but it also deserves its independence, its resources, its pride and sovereignty. It deserves a future in Europe. We need to step up for a just peace for Ukraine.

Have you ever seen a whale up close? In this video, every fold of its skin and every mark of its journey is visible in striking detail. Even more remarkable—it feels like it's looking back at you.

Very much unheard of for its time. Songs in the Key of Life was so huge that Motown came up with a novel idea to promote it by outfitting a bus in Sydney, Australia with a sound system and played the album in its entirety to the delight (and sometimes annoyance) of passengers. It was called the Wonderbus.

What's more difficult than a father burying his son is for a child to carry his brother in his arms toward the grave! What kind of heart is this that has its support stripped away before it reaches its full potential? What childhood remains for a child bidding farewell to its brother wrapped in a white shroud?

Ive compiled all of the live stream views of the New Glenn Booster explosion into one video (mainly for myself) but its also a good way to archive this footage as you can only rewind the 24/7 views up to 12 hours in the past so this footage would be lost to the public otherwise. Also making use of this blue check by uploading a long ass video. All Credits go towards the livestream providers: NSF, Avid Space, and Spaceflight Now. Credits and time stamps are provided in the index portion of the video at the very begining
