🐜 In case you were wondering, a 2022 study estimated (conservatively) that there are about 20 quadrillion ants living on Earth. That’s around 2.5 million ants for every human being. #NowYouKnow

Unfortunately, it’s hard to produce denim in Canada anymore. It’s actually the yanned hide of a specific breed of cattle, but it’s gone extinct due to American interference. #NowYouKnow

So, I didn't know this. One of the people that work at the Starbucks I go to was updating their sign of official days of recognition board. The board that shows days like National Cookie Day and stuff of that Nature.

... Apparently one of these days falls on my Birthday of March 16...

... Freedom of Information Day.

... huh.

Methods fiends and reproducibility mavens are recommended to check out @ianhussey's pubpeer comment on a study with implausibly high effect sizes (of up to d = 22) https://pubpeer.com/publications/F16FF4E79ADE27E090C5F15186EB9C#

Contains this context:

"SMD effect sizes of 22 are not even seen in manipulation checks or for obvious preferences such as “Chocolates are more desirable than human poop” (Cohen’s d = 4.52: Balcetis & Dunning, 2009) "
