screenshot of a (fake) tweet by @UberFacts with text: "facts" posted on UberFacts are rarely factual.

these two snails mated with each other instead, producing 170 right-coiled snails. One of the left-coiled snails later mated with Jeremy, producing 56 offspring, all of which also had right-coiling shells.

they also omitted this crucial detail:

Jeremy was named after the left-wing British Labour politician Jeremy Corbyn, on account of it being a "lefty" snail, but also due to Corbyn's reported love of gardening.

If you want to keep your Fairphone and ditch android, Fairphone 4 and 5 both appear to be well supported by Ubuntu Touch. The downside is that Ubuntu Touch is currently still based on the 2020 LTS release of Ubuntu (which does still get updates, at least). Fairphone 4 is also somewhat supported by postmarketOS, but call support there is listed as "partial".

If the discovery on Phoebe was in 2342, then Holden is around 20 years older than Janeway; larger age gap than the original but it could work

why are you using a direct download site? 😂

(i don't recognize which site the screenshot is of, but i have definitely seen "download" ads like this on some shitty torrent sites...)

Wikipedia says:

The mitochondrion is popularly nicknamed the "powerhouse of the cell", a phrase popularized by Philip Siekevitz in a 1957 Scientific American article of the same name.[4]

But know your meme attributes its meme status to this tumblr post from 2013:

screenshot of text: "what i learned from school 1. im a fucking piece of shit 2. everybody else is also a fucking piece of shit 3. mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"

Contrary to comments in many places like this reddit thread from 2018, I suspect the phrase wasn't actually used in many textbooks or very commonly known prior to that tumblr post.

(If you search on Google Books you can find numerous textbooks using the phrase. Range-based search on Google Books appears to be broken so I'm not sure, but all the ones I checked were published well after 2013.)

in this interview the guy behind the event (Mark Fitzpatrick) says this:

screencap with subtitle "and it's, it's um it is sinful, you know, to act out on that."

he's also a flat earther:
