We Are Having a Very Hard Time Believing the "Shape" of Tesla's New Robotaxi Geofence Is a Coincidence

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-15 20:18:30

Tesla has expanded the area where its Robotaxis can operate in Austin, and it's difficult — nay, impossible — to ignore its resemblance to something unmistakably vulgar. As folks immediately pointed out online, the crudely-shaped geofence is, essentially, a bathroom graffiti-level dick drawing — and given his puerile sense of humor, there's a non-zero chance that Tesla CEO Elon Musk made it that way on purpose. Indeed, after someone posted a video showing the phallic geofence on X, the shitpos

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-20 08:30:46

In Denver, scientists uncovered a 67.5-million-year-old dinosaur fossil deep underground — and by chance, it just so happened to be buried underneath the parking lot of a museum that houses similar specimens. As the Denver Museum of Nature and Science explained in Catalyst, its online magazine, the ancient bone fragment was buried some 763 feet below the institution's parking lot, making it the oldest and deepest such fossil to be discovered within city limits.

‘Killer Bee’ Swarm Spotted Near Georgia, Raising Alarms

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-02-01 18:50:08

A small county in Georgia may be facing a “killer bee” invasion. The Africanized bee is the common honeybee’s aggressive, lethal cousin. They look just like honeybees, but this hybrid between European and African honeybees is infamous among beekeepers for ganging up and attacking intruders—bee or human—earning them the nickname “killer bee.” Africanized bees arrived on U.S. soil in the 1990s and have since been spotted across parts of the southern U.S. But this latest sighting of so-called kil

As I read more about the Columbidae, though, I came to appreciate pigeons for more than just their beauty. Their big appetites are crucial to the health of forests around the globe. Researchers observing fig trees in Malaysia once found that green pigeons consumed far more fruit than any other animal in the jungle, visiting some trees more often than all other animals combined. Most animals defecate seeds near the parent tree, but pigeons are long-distance fliers who retain seeds in their guts l

“How do you make a small fortune in tabletop gaming?” runs an old joke. The punchline, of course, is that you come to that market with a large one.
