"In the jungles of Borneo, there live soldier #ants called Colobopsis explodens that defend themselves by exploding themselves up. 😯 Victims are mostly small female workers. Larger workers grow a giant head. When an enemy threatens the nest, the worker ant sticks its large head into the opening, effectively blocking the entrance. These workers are also sterile females." #trivia #nature #animals

#Aviation #trivia: why do do we say aircraft transponders "squawk" flight codes back to radar sites?

It's from #WWII #history. When friendly aircraft arriving in Hawaii just after the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack were shot at, a way was needed to tell friend from foe. The transponder transmits a response code back to the radar. But in war, everything needs a code name to confuse enemy spies. It was the "parrot". It stuck. And that's why we still say transponders "squawk" their codes. #avgeek #pilot

Let's play a game! The rules are simple: Tell me something about yourself.

1. It should be a fun or weird, *and* trivial.
2. It should be substantially different from recent answers.
3. We alternate turns.
4. Use #TellAlice so they're easy to find.

- Since we have N players, you can reply to anyone in the thread as your turn.
- You can respond to someone else's answer, but you have to take your own turn in the same reply.

I'll start.

The first time I went to a Japanese restaurant was with friends in highschool, and I ate the ball of wasabi thinking it was part of the sushi. It still comes up sometimes.

#Space #trivia: every #LunarEclipse🔴 coincides with the time of a full moon🌕, by definition. The #Moon can only pass into Earth's shadow when it is opposite from the Sun, which is the same position as the full moon. However, there isn't always a lunar eclipse at every full moon because it's only when the orbits align, up to twice a year. There is no lunar eclipse when the full moon misses Earth's shadow passing above or below. Next lunar eclipse Mar 13-14, 2025. #astronomy #eclipse #science

NASA JPL image caption: The total lunar eclipse starts once the moon is completely inside the umbra. And the moment of greatest eclipse happens with the Moon is halfway through the umbra as shown in this graphic.
