My history teacher back in HS assigned a knitting project. I got to say, it was a waste of time and I didn't enjoy knitting. The only explanation that I can think of as to why my History teacher decided to assign this project is to introduce the students a new hobby.

Yeah, that seems really weird for a history class.

The knitting project was to knit a scarf that resemble the ones from the 1900s, but here's the thing, we were learning about the Civil War when my teacher assigned the project. What a huge time gap that is.

Also, I loved how some teachers get angry at the students when they knit in class.

That sounds like a really poor excuse to try and get students into knitting?
Also knitting is kind of ... do crocheting if you really want to handmake straightforward stuff, it is way faster and easier and uh, doesn't look as dumb to the boys xD
(and uh, what are you supposed to learn from that? Child labour was a thing?)

Personally, I don't really understand the whole purpose of it. Maybe learn how to knit? Most if not all students are not interested in the whole knitting hobby, but they wanted to get a good grade out of it. I never really liked my history class in HS.

Maybe the teacher just ran out of things to assign you guys and started making stuff up

Naw, when that happens they just pull out the text book and tell you to do thirty pages. Or tell you their life stories. And if you get a fun teacher they’ll let you go on your phone.

Low key though, knitting is fun.

Yeah, knitting is actually a skill I sadly never learned. I can do crochet, sewing, latch hooks, drawing, and a few other things, but not knitting.
 
Today in biology, we were discussing what molecules appear in space, and if life was possible among the stars. THEN we talked about how people from europe during the 1700-1800 came to the americas and wiped out species and the only reason they didn't use the natives as a food source was because they were human. Then my teacher implied that when aliens come, they would eat us humans. Then my firend chimes in and yells, "EAT THEM FIRST" so we go rushing to another classroom which has a ELA teacher that belives in life among the stars and we run into his class, all 22 of us chanting "EAT THEM FIRST."

I wonder if there was anybody who overheard this that didn't know you were talking about aliens. If they did, that might have been rather frightening.
 
Lol.

Hmmmm. Now would be good to start that black market hw thread. I'm stuck on math again. Dang variables.

There was some talk about the ratings on the forum issues talk a few days ago. Didn't even know it changed.
 
8th grade accelerated math is fun with calculators you can mess around on.

I suck at math.

Yeah, I know that feeling. But generally, once you get the hang of something, you realize you don't suck nearly as bad as you thought you did. I'm sure you can't be that bad at math
 
Ok done with HW for the day, Ill be back with pics of the 2.5!
 
Surprised it would go this way though, usually it is the bigger fish shredding the betta. Poor swimmers and small size and all that, most fish don't seem to buy the bearded bluff.
 
He's a tiny one for sure, maybe a inch 1/4 long. Wheras the ram is 2 inches

I just found such a weird fish! Taenioides cirratus. Look at the state of this guys face!! Colours are pretty anyway.

Whats the weirdest looking fish you guys have seen? Preferably something not as well known as the anglerfish or blobfish (though the latter doesn't look weird when alive thousands of feet deep).

Ocean Sunfish!
 
Other weird looking fish includes Haikouichthys, Cephalaspis, Dunkleosteus, Stephacanthus, Leedsichthys, Xiphactinus, and Mawsonia.

Am I the only one in this forum who has an interest on paleontology?

I'm interested in it too. Actually doing the work would be very tedious though. I just love learning about all the animals.

.. I think there is a fish currently in the stomach of one of our dogs...
I had a betta disappear from its tank last night. The first time that happened. There was a small gap at the top, at the very end of the stand. I've checked all over, not a trace of fish.

I'll show it you.

The fish has been dead for quite a while now and by that I mean a long time.

Here's my dead fish.

I'd finish that up before it goes off.

Very cool! I have some fossilized snails around somewhere. My college has preserved fish/reptiles and other animals as well as fossils. Very weird to see the first time I was walking down a corridor to class.
 
I think he died from being in an uncycled tank. That's my guess.
 
Knightia sp. and it's about 60 million years old.

So cool that you have the remains of something so old. Its world was so different..... how big is it? I've just read about them. Very ncie

I would say about an inch or two.

I also have more fossils besides the Knightia fossil. It's been a long time since I bought fossils. Think I'll start collecting again real soon.

You'll have to show them off if you do. I would love a megalodon or T. rex tooth.

I have a Mosasaur tooth, the apex predator of its time!

Unfortunately, I don't even know the genus. This fossil is a real mystery.

Great stuff. I love that you can hold a part of something that was alive so long ago, and something so dominant too. Why I'd love a rex or megalomaniac tooth.

Wutwut.
 
I was scrolling through eBay and they have a Daspletosaurus tooth for $150.

I've loved those ever since I saw a documentary called Little Das or something like that. Little me was heart broken at the end!

I've nearly bought a few dino teeth, but I'm too wary of being sold a fake. I don't know if I'd trust eBay.
