New research led by Kazuo Fujita of Kyoto University has found that your dog is the best wing man/woman. The researchers tested three groups of 18 dogs by putting them in rooms with their owners as well as two strangers. The owners were tasked with opening a box, and solicited help from the two other people in the room (sometimes they would help and sometimes they would refuse). After watching their owners either be rebuffed or aided, the dogs were offered food by the strangers — and were much more likely to ignore the stranger who had been unkind to their owner.

In a study, dogs refused food from people who had slighted their owners

this is the kind of groundbreaking scientific research I want to see

NASA’s Most Shocking Image

This image is a 1.5… *BILLION* pixel photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy.

To view the image in all its glory go here.

NASA is the coolest thing that’s ever happened.

alltogetherterrible oh gosh

I zoomed in and I was like “yeah right” while it loaded and then my jaw actually dropped 

holy shit

i mean i knew theoretically what this was supposed to look like, but i didn’t actually expect to see it

but then when i zoomed in, all the noise turned into ACTUAL STARS, that you can see individually

good job, NASA

Good job NASA

NASA, next to the national parks, is America’s best idea, tbh.

My boss bought Christmas displays, but it’s the most insane mismatch of needs as far as plants go.

Like it’s a kalanchoe, a baby pine of some sort, and a pothos, all in one shallow planter. The kalanchoe is overwatered and needs more light, and the other two plants seem thirsty.

I just asked her if I could take one of the planters home, because she’s uninterested in plants. I have a kalanchoe that I grew from a teeny baby, so I’m pretry sure I can salvage hers. And pothos care seems straightforward enough, I’ll just have to keep it out of the cats’ reach.

99% sure I’ll kill the pine, but I’ll give it a go.

She said yes!! Operation Grow is a go!
