    When I was in India everyone called cannabis 'ganja' rather than 'bhang', but saying 'Boom Shiva' when toking on a chillum was pretty much universal.

    9:34 if I remember correctly the Greek gods weren’t immortal either. They had to consume ambrosia to remain “deathless”.
    If they didn’t consume ambrosia regularly (I don’t remember how often) they would grow weak, old and would no longer be immortal.

    Iirc, "octopi" is really only acceptable at this point because so many people think it's correct and that actually, if we were going to give the word it's proper etymological plural, it'd be Greek, which would make it "octopoden" and not "octopi" as if it had started out as a Latin word. ☺

    The sun is hurtling through space in the direction of its northern pole, which is the direction of our northern pole. the earth is actually surfing its wake caught in the gravity well it creates. so take the disk you commonly think of when you imagine the solar system and turn it on its side and make it zoom toward that pole.
    Because of common right hand bias I can almost guarantee that when you turned the solar system in your imagination you turned the north pole of the sun to the right making the south pole on the left. And, there you have it. That would mean that they would have had knowledge that the sun was hurtling northward through space.
    These little fact snippets also answer the question of why we do not try to send probes north of our orbit or south. North we would be unable to generate enough velocity to move the probe faster than the sun was moving. Which also would be pointless because we are hurtling in that direction already right along with it. Like wise if a probe was sent south ward it would be moving away from us as we moved away from it. in return. so we would only gather limited data all about the place we had just been. which is mostly a useless use of time and effort.
    Graphics of this natural phenom are interesting to think about though you'll come away with yet another bad thing to worry about happening to the earth. Basically if for some reason we start to fail our gravitational lock with the sun we will fall behind more and more until the sun becomes just another star and the earth slowly freezes first becoming cold because the suns radiation is no longer hitting us, but them even worse our core would cool because the tidal effect put on it from the opposing gravity of sun and moon would have been lost.
    Way worse than the sun popping into red giant state and consuming our planet or a Gama ray burst nuking us instantly. But, right on par with our orbit degrading out of the Goldilocks zone causing us to slow roast to extinction, or earth processional rotation causing us to wobble over changing the relation ship between the pull of the suns gravity on us and the moons initiating tectonic upheaval and returning the earth to more lava covered state.. 😅 its a dang miracle we haven't haven been wiped out by one astrological phenomenon or another, Big thanks to the Big G for looking out for us.

    Interesting if one is able to calculate the Hindu cosmology of Brahma n cross reference it with the Mayan long count calendar along with Enoch's calendar. One would be able to get the exact time n date the earth was created n life started on earth. Down to the second n also calculate every single time a meteor or global natural catastrophe has occurred n will occur without undeniable proof. Math truly is the key to everything as life existence is nothing more than a mathematical calculation of a simple equation 🥲😊😊😊
