Reply to Is it possible (at least theoretically) for an meteorite to ricochet from Earth instead of exploding? Are there any known cases (even if not on Earth)? by khukharev
Do you mean hitting the surface and bouncing off or just hitting the atmosphere and skipping off?

Reply to ELI5 how did natural selection not beat lgbt by AmgdeG
I think the numbers end up being about 5-10% of all mammals show homosexual tendancies/behaviour. As far as the other parts of the non-hetero community it's a bit tough to show that in animals you can communicate with.
Lots of things that don't seem to benefit survival show up in the evolutionary tree of life, so who knows really.
Nobody knows why homosexuality is part of all mammalian life, even some birds too I think.
It's also pretty juvenile to think of it as "beating" it.

Reply to ELI5 Why are Humans the only species that have developed sentience/self awareness on earth? by corkscream
We aren't, there are other species with self awareness, bottlenose dolphins are a good example.
Crows and ravens are another.
