Bots VS Marines

Last September, the U.S. military used robots during training exercise.

It happened in California during a training exercise for the Marines of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Regiment.

The bots acted as moving targets, equipped with military props for greater realism.

While this was just the first test, in the future the robots will perhaps become a serious foe, ready to fight back with a mighty force!

Necropsy reveals the "fingers" hiding beneath whales' flippers! 😮
​
​Looking at a modern whale, it’s hard to imagine these creatures once walked on land. Of course, back then they looked a little different, but as a recent photo from a necropsy revealed, whales have hung on to a few of their land-based traits, including a rather haunting hand-like appendage. Beneath a whales’ flipper isn’t the paddle-like anatomy you might imagine, but instead a pentadactyl limb consisting of five finger-like bony protrusions.
​
​The pentadactyl limb is actually present in an enormous variety of animals, demonstrating that they shared a common ancestor who evolved to have the limb before it went off and explored some customizations. The whales’ freaky “fingers” are therefore actually a rather beautiful demonstration of the quirks of evolution.

▫️ World wheat production in the 21st century

The largest producer of wheat in the 21st century was... China: 17% of all wheat was grown there between 2000 and 2020. Second place went to India (12.5%), and the "bronze" was shared by Russia and the United States: by 8.4% of world wheat production.

And in arid Pakistan, for example, grew more wheat than in Ukraine: 3.4% against 3.1% (8th and 10th places in the world, respectively)
