"Noticeable" mainly as in, "when does the belly become big enough to for people to notice it's pregnancy and not just being fat". Any further insight from anyone who has been pregnant would be welcome.

About a month ago, I bought a bag of beets and left most of them in the fridge (in the opened bag), naively thinking my family would eat them while I was away. Now they have grown these leaf-like thingys. Are they beyond salvation?

I want to give a character of mine a wound infection on his leg. Something severe enough to raise the stakes, but not lethal. Something that would be interesting to write about. The setting is very much pre-modern in terms of medicine.

a fine vintage on this one; the pixels have reached a light patina

So, I assume that if you put 100 people on a spaceship and sent them to wherever, they'd get very inbred in a few generations. How many people would you need for this to not happen, accounting for the fact that there will eventually be people who are infertile or die before having children?

human-driven technology goes brrrrr

So, my granola recipe calls for 1 dl honey, but I was dumb and forgot to get it. I have a little bit of honey left, but not nearly enough. Can I use syrup instead? The granola will be baked at 150 degrees C.

I need answers quick!

What I mean is, what do people buy organs for? Transplants? Eating? Some other fucked up purpose I didn't think of?

From what I know, buying human organs is a tad bit too expensive and risky to do just for shits and giggles.

I've noticed that recently this community has had a lot of posts that have general, useful but not extremely important advice, like a lot of cooking stuff and such (I won't name any names but I think you all know what I mean), as opposed to what this community posted a while ago: very crucial information.

Any thoughts on this?
