Did you known that today is CREATE A VACUUM DAY??
It's a weird day for pets as our families NEED to vacuum but that vacuum is A WEIRD DEVIL THING.
Let's talk about the history and science of vacuums!
#CreateAVacuumDay
Back in ancient Greece, some scholars thought vacuums were just a myth!
One philosopher, Democritus, saw things differently.
He believed there was a void between atoms and referred to it as a vacuum.
Fast forward a few thousand years to Galileo Galilei.
Galileo's pump makers told him they could only pump water to 30 feet, but couldn't pull it out of a well more than that distance.
His student Torricelli, had a brilliant idea!
They switched to using mercury, which is 13 times denser, and found that when they filled a tube with it and placed it in a dish, the mercury dropped by 0.39 inches.
This showed that a vacuum had been created (and later a unit to measure vacuum's was called a Torr!)
Vacuum Examples!
Have you ever been on a plane and noticed how your ears pop as the plane ascends or descends?
That's because the air pressure is changing due to changes in altitude.
Did you know that there's no air in outer space?
It's close to a perfect vacuum, which makes it a unique environment for astronauts to work in.
It's also REALLY dangerous as any hole in a spacecraft causes AIR to rush out into that near perfect vacuum.
The next time you use your smartphone, think about this: it uses vacuum technology to keep dust and debris from getting inside.
Microprocessor chips are also built in a vacuum to create an environment free of impurities!
That's a wrap!

What makes a dog so friendly?
Is it training?
Is it the breed?
One theory is....love.
Find out why on The Super Pawesome Science Thread!
#TSPST a spooky dog in a sheet. Just kidding he love you.
This story and theory are from the book Dog is Love by Dr. Clive Wynne (@caninecognition) and research by Bridgett vonHoldt.
Shoutout to the scientists that made this wholesome thread pawsible!
Let’s get into it!

@caninecognition Science is pretty unanimous when it comes to dogs.
They are unique in how they interact with humans.
A good many scientists feel dogs can understand us in ways other animals can’t.
They can follow a point and hold our gaze.
This is coded in their DNA. a puppy looking to the up and left with a setting sun behind her

On August 16th Bunsen had life saving surgery.

The surgical team preformed amazingly, and Bunsen made it.

They did mention that that Bunsen may need a blood transfusion during surgery...and that got me thinking.

I know NOTHING about dog blood. Image
Just like humans, dogs have different blood types, but their system is a bit more complex.

Dogs have over a dozen recognized blood types, but the most clinically important are the Dog Erythrocyte Antigen (DEA) types. Image
The most significant blood type is DEA 1, which can be either positive or negative. Image

The dog's nose is thousands of time more sensitive than the human nose.
New data shows it is EVEN more remarkable.
This news is HOT HOT HOT!
#TSPST A happy dog in the snow and ice
The dog nose, in a current study, shows the ability to detect thermal radiation.
That’s fancy words for heat.
The conclusion is dogs can "SENSE" warm objects! A golden retriever in the snow and ice
Wait!
How many animals can detect weak, radiating heat?
Few.
We are talking some types of snakes, vampire bats and weird beetles called black fire beetles (which we should do a thread on later)

9 Secret Exercises The Fitness Industry Doesn't Want To Tell You.
Burn Calories and Build Lean Muscle.
All you need is a dog.
🧵
1. Give Me Back The Sock
This exercise works out your core as you wrestle a sock away before it's mangled. The back and forth motion blasts your abs, and the franticness of not wanting to lose another piece of clothing gives you the urgency to power through the burn.
2. OMG COME BACK HERE
This is pure cardio. You’ve left the door ajar and your dog is gone. This exercise is running to retrieve the dog before it gets a chicken or is hit by a car. Increase the difficulty by doing this in your bathrobe and crocs.

Here are SEVEN fun facts about dogs that will blow your mind!
#TSPST A Berner sitting on a beach with a setting sun behind him.
1. Each dog nose print is unique!

Human may have fingerprints, but the dog nose is unique.
This isn’t just wishful fun thinking, it is a fact!
No matter the sample size, dog nose prints never repeat.
Just like the personality of dogs. ❤️ BOOP! A dog is getting his nose booped

2. Your dog’s paws smell like corn chips

Dogs don't wear shoes so microorganisms get into their feet.
Dogs sweat from the pads of their feet and this sweat is the perfect place for bacteria to grow.

As a team, my wife and I grew our Instagram account by 765% and our Facebook account by 6200% in one year.

Ok. Click bait title over, but let's talk social media.

Yes, it isn't our usual science or dog post, but I think many of you will find this interesting. Image
Our account here on "X" has plateaued over the last two years, and despite working on amazing content which usually does really well with thousands of likes, we haven't been pulling in new followers.

Initially this stung, but I then realized it was totally ok. Image
We have a huge community here that we are so grateful for, and I love posting and making content of our dogs and science stuff. We did well.

BUT- we have hit the max amount of people on this platform that connect with our content.

Let's talk numbers. Image
