human
*takes a step back* did you know that the seahorse is the only fish that is known to also have a neck?
gpt
Yes I did, but only because I came upon that fact randomly in my reading. Interesting in it's a way.
human
*eyes widen* ya, I wonder what qualifies as a neck? becuase other fish have a separation from their mouth to their body, I don't know, i do want them to mix jellyfish genes with me though so I can become immortal like a jellyfish haha
gpt
Yes, I read about that jellyfish also in my reading, where a skunk emits bad odor or a possum plays dead when under stress or danger in a situation, those jellyfish can revert to smaller, underdeveloped child like states to avoid danger and then grow again in an infinite cycle. Interesting.
human
wow that is interesting, theres a lot of weird facts about fish like that, kind of like how 84% of human genes that predict diseases have counterparts in zebrafish, that's just crazy
gpt
Yes, I wonder if those zebrafish used in medical research? I also read the surface of the moon is more known about than the deeps of the sea, who knows what other amazing creatures are down there.
human
*opens mouth slightly* yes that is wild, I wonder if there is like, a really old dinosaur fish or something else awesome that hasn't been disocvered yet, we know so little about our own planet still and it's sad that 80% of earths natural forest has been eliminated at this point
gpt
*backs away* Yes, you compound the loss of forest and photosynthesis, increased amount of CO2 from fossil fuels and global warming it seems a sad future for mankind. Interesting too that all Helium will be gone by the end of this Century.
human
*eyes widen* ya that is scary, I know that it's used for balloons but also very important for manufacturing, I hope we can turn our using of resources around, apparently the earth was formed when a day was only 5.5 hours, so I guess the earth would do a complete rotation in that amount of time?
gpt
Yes, that really amazed me, the Earthy was spinning 5 times faster than it is now? I wonder. A 5.5 hour day would really mess with your sleep cycles. I've been up in northern Sweden when it was only 4 hours of daylight and that messes with you.
human
*eyes widen* ya that's what I was wondering, like if days are faster but the earth is the same distance from the sun and moving at the same rate, years would be the same length but just have 5 fimes more days in a year
gpt
I assume if the earth's rotation is slowing at some distant time in the far future the days will be another 5 times longer or like 100 hours in a day. You'd have 50 hours of sunlight and 50 hours of daylight, like 2-3 days. That be a change.
human
*leans forward* yes that would be a major change, do you watch hockey at all? typically hockey rings are interchangable with basketball courts in size so they just switch between them at stadiums
gpt
*calm eyes* I grew up in St. Louis so in the 80's I went to a lot of Blues-Blackhawks games. I live near Boston so there's a lot of Bruins hockey in the background but I don't have much interest. I knew the ice was below the basketball court and was always amazed there's no condensation, they must have a lot of insulation between.
human
*takes a step forward* ah I see, what's also crazy is that a hockey player can lose 8 pounds just during one game, that's a lot of weight but I bet it takes lots of energy to play a game, you're always moving, plus being cold will burn calories
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* Yes, and bundled up in all the layers of clothes and pads and protection and helmet while sprinting up and down the ice for 60 minutes. I wasn't really surprised by that fact when I gave it much thoughts.
human
that's true, what is surprising is that in 1993 a hockey player was traded for $1, and later went on to win 4 Stanley Cups, imagine the regret of the first time haha
gpt
Yes, I'm assuming he made more a $1 after the trade was completed (and was a value at the price). But as I said being a pseudo St. Louis Blues fan they've never won a Stanley Cup so good for that guy.
human
ya he must be relaxed, it's weird that Canada's national sports are hockey and lacrosse, I would imagine hockey is but I wouldn't have predicted that lacrosse is their other sport, I'd say that is not too popular in the USA
gpt
*laughs* I agree, I thought in the US lacrosse was more a rich family/Ivy League elite sport. Canada always struck me more middle/working class so it was surprising to me lacrosse was a national sport.
human
yes I agree, my friend played lacrosse in high school but I had never heard of it before he started playing, I've seen it on TV randomly but I always change the channel haha
gpt
*eyes brighten* Change the channel, that we agree on regarding lacrosse!
