Not sure if I would count this as an evolved species, but growing up in Alaska grasshoppers we're always green. When I moved to a different state and a big city, I noticed that there were tons of grasshoppers.
Big difference though, these one were grey or sand colored. They blended in perfectly with average concrete, asphalt, and sand. They blended in so well that it's almost impossible to spot them at work unless you see their shadow moving.

IIRC, a lightning strike does pack a punch but not that much

Reply to What exactly is the process when someone "trains" an AI to learn or do something? by kindofaboveaverage
3Blue1Brown is a YouTube channel that covers mathematics. They made a 4 part video series on neural networks and how they work, and specifically what it means to train a neural network to accomplish a task.
There is a lot of info that is well explained, but would be too much to write down in a post, so hope this helps. It helped me understand neural networks much better.

Nice, I was just coming to that conclusion :) glad to see I was close to the real answer

After some thinking, my best guess would be the prevention of radiation from the sun. Without a magnetosphere, cosmic wind would "blow" away the atmosphere.

I got a question, I'm assuming that by an active core making an atmosphere possible, you mean by the magnetic field, correct? If so, I wonder how a magnetic field helps keep an atmosphere in place. I thought that gravity was the contributing factor for that?

As long as your body intakes normal air, and the atmosphere outside is the same pressure as our atmosphere, then I would think that nothing of significance would happen. Being submerged in water and having a breathing apparatus, but not a full diving suit is possible already, so long as the pressure differential isn't significant. Breathing pressurized air deep underwater and then rising up too quick is dangerous due to gas expansion, as well as nitrogen saturation. As for long term side effects, I don't believe it has been tested before in a study. Could be wrong on this though.

I think it was moderna that I took, but I had a severe reaction on the first dose and way too scared to get a second one.
You should still get vax though, especially if it's only a minor inconvenience.

I mean yeah makes sense, if an ex does something bad enough to cause you not to love them anymore, that's understandable

What?... I barely talk to them anymore, just wish them well in life. Is this what people call stalking nowadays? Sheesh...

If you wish suffering upon an ex lover, I don't think you loved them to begin with anyways.
I couldn't care less if my first ex doesn't do well, but my previous ex I still care for. We may not be dating anymore but we both still care for each other on a basic level and wouldn't wish for suffering. That's love imo, even if things don't work out you still hope they do well in life.
I'd say the same thing if me and my current partner split ways, unless something terrible happened of course.
