Mercury is the most charismatic substance in the universe. Like, there are a lot of things that historical scholars have been wrong about, but you usually understand why; flawed hypotheses, inadequate measuring tools, half-truths, secondary factors that muddy the results. But people across Eurasia saw that shit and just assumed it must be the key to immortality, despite a mercury tonic being literally the opposite of an immortality potion. And they kept trying it despite all obvious evidence. Taoists burned through emperors like lab rats. No other metal has this much rizz
A few days ago I went to the local zoo and watched a very cool red panda talk. And saw a red panda first be very happy about being fed pears and then be SUPER grumpy about being fed carrots instead hahaha. It was too cute so I had to make a comic about it. Red pandas are my second favourite animal after dogs I think hehe.
They are cool creatures :D
This is doing a very bad job at convincing me they aren’t pets.
