college instructor for Communication 101 went on several unprompted rants about how depression wasn't real because it couldn't be detected with brain scans

even though it, uh, absolutely can? also nobody asked you anyway dude???

Another way to remove oxygen from stored food to prevent rancidity is to make your own oxygen absorbers (rancidity is caused by oxygen oxidizing fats and other flavor compounds)

Which are literally just iron filings mixed with table salt in a gas permeable packet (coffee filter paper works great)

The salt is hygroscopic (absorbs water) and water + oxygen + iron turns into rust, which sequesters the oxygen

I make my own and put them in opened packages of nuts and seeds :]

it's actually "hare lip," derogatory term for people with cleft palate, as their mouths were compared to the split lip of rabbits

I've encountered some sentiments that they're bad simply because they're trendy

air fryers are just a rebranding of convection ovens, which are awesome. I don't care what it's called, cooking with circulated hot air is really useful

Think "you wake up in the woods naked," Dr. Stone-style tech reset. How could humans acquire a 1-gram weight, a centimeter ruler, an HH:MM:SS timekeeping device, etc. starting with natural resources?

My best guess was something involving calibrating a mercury thermometer (after spending years developing glassblowing and finding mercury, lol) using boiling water at sea level to mark 100 ° C and then maybe Fahrenheit's dumb ice ammonium chloride brine to mark -17.7778 ° C, then figuring out how far apart they should be in millimeters on the thermometer (er, somehow). I can already think of several confounding variables with that though, most notably atmospheric pressure.

I feel like the most important thing to get would be a length measurement since you can then get a 1 gram mass from a cubic centimeter of distilled water.

That's as far as I got with this thought experiment before deciding to ask the internet. I actually asked on Reddit a while back but never got any responses.
