Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells π₯, seashells π, and pearls π¦ͺ are made out of.
In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:
HαΊ‘ Long Bay in Vietnam
Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar
The Li River in China
Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (~~Veryovkina~~ Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations
Mammoth Cave in the United States
Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

Yesterday's transfem spicy noodle challenge made me realize once more that there's two types of trans girls:
can't handle any amount of spicy, makes me want to protect her from roaming pepper corns wandering into the area
loves spicy and makes me want to egg her on to try more of the good stuff
Oh and then there's chili fox girl who just seems to be immune to capsaicin. I was crying and blowing my nose nonstop from my noodles and had a spot below my lips that actually got a little chemical burn and she did not only have the same amount of the hot sauce, she also put the carolina reaper powder on it that she likes to bring along and she didn't even break a sweat.
This is Lilith, one of the spicy noodles of all time
I'm normally more of a possum girl, but on a bad day i can relate to cobras a lot
I love spicy foods but it's a struggle because they make my nose runny and threatens the makeup covering my beard shadow.
yeah i normally don't care much about re-applying makeup throughout the day nowadays bc laser fixed the beard shadown problem for me, but after learning we were going to do spicy noodle stuff i actually packed foundation and eyeliner and had to use both after i was done leaking fluids from my face.
Even just a hint of spicy makes my face bright red and I start sweating like crazy. People always ask me if Iβm still okay because I look like Iβm dying.
Still love it though.
