Reply to comment by xxdotell in TIL that one third of sea level rise is from thermal expansion (not melting ice) by on_surfaces
And then there's land subsidence, like in southeast Virginia, where a bolide created a crater deeper than the Grand Canyon and bigger than Rhode Island, into which all the land has been sinking for the past 35 million years...

Reply to TIL that one of the most popular medieval legends about Saint Nicholas of Myra (the original basis for the legend of Santa Claus) involves him magically resurrecting three children who were murdered by an evil butcher and sold as cured meat. by themightyheptagon
That's what's wrong with our society today: No more WHOLESOME family holiday entertainment.

Reply to comment by Ma1 in TIL, in film, a clapperboard’s purpose is ensuring proper synchronization of audio and video in post-production. It provides a distinct “clap” along with a visual event for the editor to reference at the start of a scene. by PianoCharged
When I worked on some TV commercial shoots back in the early '90s, the cameraman also said "Speed!" when (I guess) the camera was up to "running speed" or whatever...this I guess was the signal to the talent that it was time to start the take ... is this just "a thing" with video cameras, or also with film cameras too?

Reply to TIL, there's a condition called, "Encopresis" wherein the sufferer loses control of their bowels after holding in their stool as long as they can first. by SweetPrism
Reminds me of the time I got food poisoning at a restaurant and had about an hour ride home. Got about 45 minutes away from home and thought, "Hmm, I'm gonna need a bathroom before long, wonder whether I can make it home."
About 30 minutes away from home, I realized, "Nope, gonna need a bathroom DAMN SOON."
See a rest stop off the highway JUST IN TIME "That's got my name on it."
Turned into one of those deals where the closer I got to the toilet, the pressure in my bowels increased logarithmically.
15 feet from the toilet -- bowel pressure: 200 psi
10 feet from the toilet -- bowel pressure 20000 psi
Like one of those thriller movies where the timer on the hydrogen bomb is counting down the seconds
Kick open the stall door fever chills up my neck oh please oh please oh fuck LOOKOUT
Pull down my pants halfway -- Houston we have liftoff
Thank God nobody was around because that shit went EVERYWHERE. I tried to clean it up but really it needed a high-pressure hose (and long-handled mop to reach the ceiling of the rest stop)
