What does sound look like? 🎼🧪
When sound waves pass through a Chladni plate, they cause it to vibrate, shifting sand into mesmerizing patterns that reveal how sound travels.

Good luck forcing me off the pavement you fucking bin.
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

this was formalised by the time of Jesus as leqet, shikheha & peah. leqet = anything you drop when harvesting (ever done apple-picking? any that are on the ground or that you drop when picking belong to the poor). shikheha = any you forget to take inside. peah = the corners of each field/orchard.
in 1st century Judea, the corners of every field had to be left for the poor to pick crops for themselves, every seventh year *all* of the crops from fields and vineyards and orchards belonged to the poor, and all debts of all types were cancelled every 50th year.
