This is my first time ever coming across this beautiful looking creature, I've never seen them in person, Only In movies/YouTube

I was lucky enough to see this right at our backyard devouring an insects this morning

Isn't it Beautiful?

Hadampson:
Your ignorance is really amusing i must admit

You are a disgrace to black race

It's unfortunate that you have no knowledge about black people talkless of knowing how the world works. I don't blame you sha, this is what you get when everything is depicted as white, you’d think that black people had absolutely no hand in creating anything. They don’t talk about the Walls of Benin nor Timbuktu or Mansa Musa. They don’t ever speak about how Africa didn’t have a Bronze or Copper Age because they’d learn to smelt these materials long before Europe did.

People also love to believe that when enslaved Africans were brought to America they were simply ignorant fools that knew nothing. It’s ridiculous. Africans knew about irrigation, agriculture, etc. Some were blacksmiths, farmers, and even military tacticians. Why don't we know this.. Cos of white supremacists and mental slavery. You are a perfect example of a black man suffering from inferiority complex (one of the symptoms of people in mental slavery)

Just to nullify the garbage you typed, I'm going to list of the black inventions

1) Dr. Philip Emeagwali is an inventor of the World's Fastest Computer. He's a black man and also from Igbo tribe.

2) CCTV was created by Marie Van Brittan Brown, with help from her husband Albert Brown. And they are black people

3) Garrett Morgan invented modern traffic light after seeing an accident at an accident prone intersection. He is a black man

4) Glass was first made in Africa

5) Bradley, Benjamin made the first steam engine for a ship. I don't think i need to tell you that he is a black man and he was a slave when he invented an engine without going to school of engineering. Being a slave he was not able to patent his invention - he did sell the rights to it, however, and bought his own freedom.

6) Burridge & Marshman made typewriter and they are black man

7) Burwell made boot/shoe which everybody is now using including your white masters.

Butler invented train alarm.

9) Patricia Bath invented laser tool for eye surgery

10) Although Willis Carrier is largely credited with inventing the modern air conditioner, Frederick Jones, a black man, invented the FIRST portable air conditioning unit.

11) Frederick McKinley Jones made the refrigerated trucks

12) Alexander miles invented the automatic elevator door

13) You can thank Mark Dean, a black man for co-inventing the color monitor. Without his invention, we’d still be typing in a colorless interweb

14) Patricia Bath, a black woman invented a device and technique used to remove cataracts and revive patients’ eyesight.

15) Thomas Elkins invented the modern toilet. He is a black man

I can go on and on.. I haven't even mentioned any invention made by Africans in Africa. Stop saying bad things about my race. If you don't know anything about black people, just go online and download PDFs

Ire o

I'm disgrace to the black race just as everyone else!

Those people you mentioned schooled abroad, They learned everything from the universities and education created by the white people!!


How about you tell me about an invention from the home of all black race which is AFRICA

Your country the largest black country (NIGERIA) for instance import 99% of everything, Can't even make a common toothpick!

You can keep lying to yourself and beating around the bush!!

TMKsouth:
You're painfully lame. Do u never tire? Been saying the same thing for years now.

Brace up dude!!

Another protest is coming, This time it will burn the whole SA to Ashes

Hadampson:
Typical of nigerians

Always glorifying the white people while downgrading their people.. Nawa for you

You're also glorying the work of the white men by using their stuff

You used a smartphone which is an invention of the white men, From the littlest thing to the biggest thing you used only daily basis are one way or the other an invention of the white men!


Your phone, Shoes, Car, Wristwatches, clothes, Almost everything!!


Does that mean you glory them too? Why not use stuff invented by your own race alone?

Oops I forgot, Your race has no revolutionary invention aside fucking around and blaming everyone else as usual

Quiny32323:
If we have to go back to the hands of time, what do you have to say about the whites that invaded africa and raped the black man psychologically. The black Americans identities where stolen forever that leaves them with no better choice but they can do better In my own opinion. If you ever spend time with those guys u will understand their story better and moreover civilisation started in africa,first university was in africa also. I guess we peaked on time. Any black man that believes his fellow black man possesses low IQ should go for self examination.

The ancient Black kings back in times sold their fellow black to white men for a piece of "MIRROR"

And civilization didn't start in Africa, As far as 700 years ago, White people already have the knowledge to build their cities and build ships to explore other parts of the world, They invented Revolutionary inventions that shaped up the world to what it is today!

During this time, Black people were living in hut while practicing slave-trade among themselves even before white people came here

Stop making it seem like white people started slavery, I read a story about a Yoruba woman named "Efunsetan Aniwura" She had thousands of slaves during her reigns enslaving her fellow blacks!! And she was seen as a Legend during those days!!

Black people lack the ability to visualise the future and can't think beyond their stomach, This explains why Africa will forever be in pain and Poverty

You can say I'm inferior, IDGAF, I'm just stating the facts

Quiny32323:
You didn't make any sense

I don't have to!

But why are the poorest countries in the world mostly Black countries?

Why are most ghetto and Gangstar/hooliganism area in the United States mostly black people area?

Fine, If they're not gonna destroy everything again in another protest/looting

Anything a black man touches turns to FAILURE

The white men left this country in a good condition and a flourishing economy, But since black monkeys took over, Everything has been going downhill, From constant looting, Rape, Zero security and e.t.c


I'm just glad a lot of white people are now migrating to another country, I know a few online who has migrated to the US, UK, Australia and Canada!!


In the next 10 years, South Africa will be worse than Somali!!


Another proof that the black people have the lowest IQ on the planet

1. Modern court among old buildings in France
2. Japan Intersection, Taokasan interchange

Population density in the United States

In simple terms, Population density refers to the number of people living in an area per square kilometre!

Pascal's Law is the principle behind hydraulic lifting and pressing devices

Pascal's law (also Pascal's principle or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure) is a principle in fluid mechanics given by Blaise Pascal that states that a pressure change at any point in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere

Train equipped with flamethrowers to defrost railway switches, Switzerland 1968.

Jet engines and other gas turbines are used for large scale propelling and melting of snow over rails and roads. These blowers first were used in Russia and Canada in the 1960s, and were later introduced into the U.S. by the Boston Transportation Authority. The jet engine both melts and blows the snow, clearing the tracks faster than other methods. citation needed] While offering considerably greater power in a relatively lightweight machine, this method is much more expensive than traditional snow removing methods. In Russia, the high cost is partially negated by utilizing retired military jet engines, such as the Klimov VK-1.

Night bus in Japan

Taking the bus isn't what most people imagine when thinking of a comfortable way to travel, and for many that mode of transportation is even less likely to come to mind for overnight transit. Japan, though, has some amazing overnight buses, with assigned, reclining seats that offer you more personal space than you're likely to have in the economy section of an airplane. Among overnight bus operators, Tokyo-based Willer Express has earned a reputation for having some of the nicest carriages around, and even they've outdone themselves with their beautiful ReBorn buses.

Like many of Japan's overnight buses, the ReBorn has three non-connected seats in each row. Really, though, these are more like personal pods than just plain seats. In addition to power reclining and footrest functions, there's a table that folds out of the seat in front of you, an electrical outlet to keep your electronic devices charged up, and a drink holder mounted to the wall of your pod

Chicago skyline visible from nearly 50 miles away (-80km) in Indiana Dunes sunset

Interesting comment: 'Fun science going on here. The horizon doesnt extend nearly far enough to see the chicago skyline from this distance on its own. The light would be blocked by the earth. The light is refracted through the atmosphere in such a way where you can see it from that distance"

Route 50 in Nevada

U.S. Route 50 (US 50) is a transcontinental highway in the United States, stretching from West Sacramento, California, in the west to Ocean City, Maryland, on the east coast. The Nevada portion crosses the center of the state and was named "The Loneliest Road in America" by Life magazine in July 1986.

Beach in Turkey with accessibility features for the disables

People aren't disabled, their city is. In Turkey, people with reduced mobility can access this beach and the sea thanks to a special access reserved for them. A great initiative that we would like to see around the world!

A bridge to nowhere. When the tide is out, it allows beachgoers to cross a stream that cuts across the beach.

The Biel Water is a small river running through the village of Biel to the south of #Dunbar, in #Scotland. It runs for 4.5 kilometers from the Luggate Burn and the Whittinghame Water, through the village and finally to Belhaven Bay. Just before it empties into the North Sea, the river actually a small stream - flows under a short footbridge. At low tide, it's possible to walk over the bridge, crossing the stream and onto sands that lay beyond. However, when the tide comes in, the bridge gets submerged and appears to be stranded in the middle of the sea serving no obvious purpose to surprised onlookers.

This optical illusion stops people from running in the hallway

This wavy floor is actually a mind-boggling illusion that stops people from running in the hallway. The floor which is made of 400 porcelain tiles, looks like it has a giant Dent in the middle, but it's actually completely level. The optical illusion only works when you face the face the showroom entrance, the dent in the floor disappears when you look at it from the opposite perspective

Shilda, the wine tasting complex

The complex is in Kakheti, Georgia, which is the wine production region of the country. The 2.5 metre spacing of the vineyard is translated into the structural grid of the building and articulated through a series of curved beams The form is a considered response to the environmental factors of the area and the qualities of the wine. The building uses the thermal mass of the soil to moderate the internal temperature, where the wine is stored, served and tasted. The landscape is elevated in order to accommodate 3 main function thus forming 3 hills. The 3 main

functions are: Wine tasting, wine Storing and wine knowledge sharing.

An equatorial Sundial

A sundial is a device that tells the time of day when there is sunlight by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky. In the narrowest sense of the word, it consists of a flat plate (the dial) and a gnomon, which casts a shadow onto the dial. As the Sun appears to move across the sky, the shadow aligns with different hour lines, which are marked on the dial to indicate the time of day. The style is the time-telling edge of the gnomon, though a single point or nodus may be used.

The gnomon casts a broad shadow; the shadow of the style shows the time. The gnomon may be a rod, wire, or elaborately decorated metal casting. The style must be parallel to the axis of the Earth's rotation for the sundial to be accurate throughout the year. The style's angle from horizontal is equal to the sundial's geographical latitude. Equatorial sundials The distinguishing characteristic of the equatorial dial (also called the equinoctial dial) is the planar surface that receives the shadow, which is exactly perpendicular to the gnomon's style. This plane is called equatorial, because it is parallel to the equator of the Earth and of the celestial sphere. If the gnomon is fixed and aligned with the Earth's raotational axis, the sun's apparent rotation about the Earth casts a uniformly rotating sheet of shadow from the gnomon; this producesa uniformly rotating line of shadow on the equatorial plane. Since the sun rotates 360 in 24 hours, the hour lines on an equatorial dial are all spaced 15 apart (360/24).

Apple's touchscreen "iPhone" prototype from 1983

The first iPhone was actually dreamed up in 1983. This iPhone was a landline with full, all-white handset and a built-in screen controlled with a stylus. The phone was designed for Apple by Hartmut Esslinger, an influential designer who helped make the Apple lc computer (Apple's first "portable" computer) and later founded Frogdesign. The 1983 iPhone certainly fits in with Esslinger's other designs for Apple. It also foreshadows the touchscreens of both the iPhone and iPad.
