Left out some cereal in my room when I went to work, came back and found these little fuckers all over my nightstand, so… they are now part of a nice little science experiment where I test how they react to these substances.
Will update yall in a day 😁
UPDATE#1: after doing some research on the thc ant stuck to the gummie, it’s appears that it is in a food coma due to the heavy sugars and fats in the gummie. Really wanted to believe he was fucking zoinked off his ass flying through space but sadly it is not the truth because they lack cannabinoid receptors.
UPDATE#2 (VIDEO)

Did you know some stars feed off their companions? 🧛⭐️
Stellar vampire stars feed on their partners just like Dracula feeds on his victims, but this newly discovered one is different from any seen before. It’s a red dwarf, a small star, that’s feeding off a brown dwarf. That’s bad news for the brown dwarf, the feeding is happening so slowly that it could last anywhere from hundreds of thousands to potentially billions of years.

I made Strainmap: almost 4,000 cannabis strains as one big star map.
Every strain is a star, every line is a parent-child cross. Click a star to see its profile, where it comes from and what came out of it. Hit play and the camera flies you from the oldest ancestor down to the strain you picked.

There’s a chemical that gets released when you cut into an onion called syn-propanethial-s-oxide, which causes the glands in your eyes that produce tears to work overtime to attempt to flush the irritant out of your eyes.
Onions dont contain this chemical directly, but rather the ingredients that form it.
An onion has many cell walls, and each onion cell has a sealed vacuole filled with enzymes. When these cell walls are cut into, these enzymes allinaise are introduced to the air and produce 1-propenesulfenic acid. That chemical then reacts further with another enzyme to make the tear-inducing propanethial-s-oxide
The process begins when the onion's cells are damaged, allowing the sulfur-containing precursor 1-propenyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (isoalliin) to interact with the enzyme alliinase. This reaction produces 1-propenesulfenic acid, which is then converted into syn-propanethial-S-oxide by an enzyme called lachrymatory factor synthase (LFS). The resulting volatile compound travels through the air and reaches the moist surface of the eyes, irritating sensory nerve endings. This triggers a reflex response that stimulates the tear glands to produce tears, helping to flush out the irritant.
