We Have Ploonets. We Have Moonmoons. Now Hold Onto Your Hats For... Blanets
It's easy to think of black holes as voracious destruction machines, slurping up everything in their immediate vicinity. But that's not always the case. There's a safe zone around each supermassive black hole in which thousands of planets could be orbiting.

Well, yeah, but I don't think Tesla's system used microwaves. He called it long waves as I vaguely recall.

'Askers' vs. 'Guessers'
In Ask Culture it's OK to ask for anything at all, but you gotta realize you might get no for an answer. In Guess Culture, you avoid putting a request into words unless you're pretty sure the answer will be yes.

I'll have to make a post, wait a bit.
Today the "text post box" works properly. The tags box works OK. The "where to publish" box still doesn't work.
1. I click on the "choose" button and the window goes dark. The "where to publish box is not appearing.
2. Then I zoom out and there it is at the bottom of the window.
3. When I zoom out enough I can see the finish button but everything's too small to read.

Secondary school textbooks teach our kids the myth that Aboriginal Australians were nomadic hunter-gatherers
In his book Dark Emu, Bruce Pascoe writes that settler Australians wilfully misunderstood, hid and destroyed evidence of Aboriginal Australians’ farming practices. My analysis of secondary school textbooks shows this behaviour isn’t restricted to the past — it is ongoing.

Each time I have to open a dialog when I'm making a post, the dialog moves further down from the top of the window until I can't get to it anymore, even by growing the window. I have posts I can't make any more because the "where to publish" dialog is too far away for me to access. Please fix this, or no-one will be able to post anymore on snapzu.

11. Gigaton-scale CO2 removal will help to reverse climate change
There's a simple way of reversing climate change, and it's mandatory before any other solution. We have to stop emitting carbon. If we can't do even that, trying anything else is ridiculous.

Scientists who make money from GMO foods declare them safe. Who'd've thought it!
The main problem with GMO foods is the money. Patents on living things owned by companies, mean the amounts of money involved, taints the scientific testing, the safety testing. At this point testing of safety among other things can't be relied on any more.
GMO is not inherently safe or dangerous. It is quite possible to make poisonous food crops. We are relying on science to test these for safety and efficacy and the science is owned and paid for by the companies owning the patents, interested parties.
