That’s quite some hostility and unhelpfulness.

Anyway, after an overly difficult search (go enshitification) I did find this. So I have edited that part of my first post. The overall point remains though - life as we know it doesn’t always make use of Every possibility, so lack of use (on earth anyway) does not mean lack of existence.

Anyway, I was indeed wrong about two of my examples, so here’s two more to replace them, of very similar nature:

Nothing evolved to transmit or receive neutrinos or gravitational waves.
Mostly because doing so for neutrinos would require being the size of a large building for receiving, or containing a nuclear reactor (oh hey, there’s another thing life hasn’t done) for transmitting. For gravitational waves that would be small city sized for receiving, or being star sized with uneven mass at high speed for transmitting.

[citation needed]

I was very careful to phrase that with ‘selected for’ because of course things absorb radiation. That’s how bones are visible in X-ray radiology. But that doesn’t mean it is something they evolved specifically to do.

There are tons of phenomena or technologies that exist but aren’t used by life. The most famous is probably the wheel (with an axel, rolling a whole body doesn’t count, nor does cellular machinery).

As far as I know no living thing has selected for transmitting or receiving radio frequency radiation, nor X-rays or gamma rays. [Edit: eventually and with no useful guidance I managed to find This. Note how I linked it so others can learn about it. Still didn’t find anything for RF. End edit.] (I’m sure electric eels and such put out some RF, but only as a side effect. They aren’t using it for communication or sensing for example)

That’s really weird to see those in boxes. They are the main brand that comes in bags where I am at least. (Besides the super bland religious-or-something brand)

Some people call them Maurice.

Who are all these people in the photographs you inherited from your own parents, then I did from you? How were they related to me?

Since I had to look him up anyway:

“Leon David Black (born July 31, 1951) is an American private equity investor. He is the former CEO of Apollo Global Management, which he co-founded in 1990 with Marc Rowan and Josh Harris. Black was the chairman of the Museum of Modern Art from 2018 to 2021. Black resigned from both Apollo Global Management and the Museum of Modern Art in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations and revelations that he had paid $158 million to Jeffrey Epstein.”

From the artist:

“CONTEXT: I wrote/drew this in 2020. Lol. Happy New Year!”

It does, but in common language that could go either way. Especially since it’s not the technical phrase “greater than”.

And 13 is unclear if it’s strictly ‘more than’ or ‘more than or equal’

This can even happen to technical terms, for example bimonthly now has both the original meaning of once every 2 months, and also means semimonthly, twice a month.

In other words it’s completely worthless as a word because it fails to specify between conflicting meanings.
