COMPU73E ❄️@KennyPark mind. blown.
lazarus7@KennyPark this is going to stick with me and coke out at inopportune times. So thanks !

JM Horner@KennyPark Funny story... a few years back I had two potatoes, one of which looked like Jesus and the other looked like Elvis. Turns out I was just looking at the same potato from different angles.

Doug Baker - Elbows Up! 🇨🇦@KennyPark Well grounded daughter, I'd say.

Jim Doppke@KennyPark it would be so much funnier if cranky ppl went around saying "well aren't you just a special potato" instead of "snowflake"
notsoloud@jimdoppke
In danish, if you've had good fortune by luck rather than by skill or effort, you might be told you're a "lucky potato".
@notsoloud @jimdoppke Definitely using that from now on.
@KennyPark this is profound, and also prompted a mental image of a small child carefully inspecting a bag of potatoes just before making this observation.
Roadskater, Ph.D.@Pajof @KennyPark Quick. Hand that kid a can of Pringles.
Gerg! ☕@KennyPark to your stomach, all potatoes are mashed

Debabrata Bhattacharya || SE@KennyPark I didn't know they're all different. That's very cool.
Mike@KennyPark It's the eyes. They're, unnerving.
Darkoneko@KennyPark so unfair
Ryuno-Ki@KennyPark Well, it doesn't rain potatoes, does it?

Kevin Jardine@KennyPark it's the snowflake symmetry. Every snowflake crystal has 3 or 6-fold symmetry and yet they still have huge diversity. Much more surprising and beautiful than random potato lumps.
@kevinjardine Thanks for that.
Lumpenpro@kevinjardine
Does the symmetry suggest that it would be more likely to have copies of snowflakes rather than unique patterns?
Trying to understand.

Trying to understand.
@lumpenpro Symmetry suggests to me that there should only be a few designs as symmetry is a huge restriction. But miraculously there are still huge numbers of different designs, all beautiful because of the symmetry.
Stevens R MillerMy son: "If the many-universes theory is true, does that mean there's a universe where it isn't?"
He was eight years old.
Cyber Yuki@stevensrmiller @KennyPark Tell him that would be a pocket universe where multiverse physics don't apply. 
I'd try that, but he's 21 now. Gawdnose what he'd say back to me at this point.
Mirishuli@stevensrmiller Kids are so much smarter than we realize. You’re a very blessed dad. 🥂
Yeah, he's pretty cool. Doesn't think as much of me, but I suspect that will come later, as it often does. I didn't raise him so he could praise me, after all.
James@KennyPark I do care

Last time I was out in a potato storm, I didn't want to hang around and check for identical potatoes coming down.

Going out on a limb. The Tuvix episode?
Edit: Nah one of the later Borg children episodes. can't remember why the potato. Maybe unassimilating the Borg.
@mrblissett @KennyPark it's the one where they find Icheb's parents, I think. It's a science fair where all the children (borg or otherwise) create something and Icheb totally steals the show with some sensor modification he invented. The cloned potatos are the twin brothers entries.
royal@KennyPark That's beautiful.
Like a potato.

Are All Snowflakes Really Different? The Science of Winter
For most in the Northern Hemisphere, winter is a time for building snowmen, skiing, and hoping for a snow day. Although many of us are counting down the days until holiday break, there is still time to investigate a few winter science questions! Grab some cocoa and your favorite blanket, and investigate winter from the comfort of somewhere warm. XiXinXing/iStock/Thinkstock
martenson@KennyPark To be honest biology feels less deterministic than physics so it is kind of expected.
Papá Robot@KennyPark you damn potato liberals !
meriksson@KennyPark Its because we take the potatoes for granted.
Greg@KennyPark Every tin of beans is different too.
@KennyPark this is the best thing I'll read all week. Thanks.
Єнотик 🦝 Погроміст 🇺🇦🇮🇱@KennyPark what a clever girl! And she is right
jack the nonabrasive@KennyPark she’s obviously a chip off the old spud
@KennyPark I’m glad you didn’t take that in a starchy way
John Caveney woke is me🛠️@KennyPark your daughter is very intelligent! 👏👏
Scott Knowles@KennyPark Whenever I get to the potato bin in grocery stores I think of all of them fighting for attention, "Pick me. I'm better. I'm flavorful and ready for any recipe you want." The silent chorus of loud potatoes.
Tattie (old account)@KennyPark every potato is indeed different!
I'm *very* different.
