$5 sub—you mean pre-Covid prices?

No idea, I have not been to Subway since 2017 or 2018. I just figured they added more sugar to the bread and less filling inside the sandwiches.

You can’t even get a 6-inch for $5 I don’t think.

You should make some dimensional analysis/unit conversion worksheets and sell them on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Look, converting metric to anything but metric is not an exact science. It is open to artistic interpretations. The number is about 10.

I didn't expect it to be so glowy
andros_rex@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 1y
Most deep sea animals are glowy! Makes sense I think, there’s not a lot of light down there.
Fun fact - the first forms of photosynthesis were by red colored algaes and plankton - not green, because different colors of light penetrate the ocean to different levels.

Looks to me like only the tentacles are glowy, and the body and eyes are just reflecting the camera's light.

Yoooo!! Finally!!! I remember seeing the scars on a whale from their hooks as a kid, and being amazed that something like that could exist. Finding out no one had ever seen one alive devastated little 2nd grade me lol

It doesn’t say how big this particular squid is in the video. Anyone have a guess? At a glance it seems so very small but without a reference, it’s impossible to tell.
Gobbel2000@programming.dev · 8 pts · 1y
The article says it's 30cm long, so still some way to grow for it to really be colossal.
