That’s a french ‘Poilu’, a WW1 soldier. I’m pretty sure he would strangle you with his sausages if he heard you call him Hans.

Fat is usually stored in the body in the form of triglycerids. When fat is used, it’s usually not turned into glucose, but rather into fatty acids, that are then released in the blood and reach the cells that need extra energy, where they are used by the mitochondria to power said cells. The signaling that triggers this is in fact done by a bunch of hormones that do indeed circulate in the blood to reach the cells specialized in storing fat, called adipocytes.

Depending of what triggers the transformation of fat into fatty acids( a process called lipolysis), those hormones could be insulin, epinephrin, growth hormone, etc.

I’m doing it right now !

You’re probably right, I have edited my comment to reflect this. source

I think it has to do with atmospheric diffusion of the sunlight. Even if the photons coming straight down at you are blocked by the moon, a lot of them bounce around in the atmosphere and end up reaching your eyes. Kinda like when it’s not complete darkness at sunset even after the sun has gone over the horizon. Also explains why the sky is blue, since “blue photons” are better at bouncing around on the atmosphere molecules. See : diffuse sky radiation

Quoting form the Wikipedia article: Approximately 23% of direct incident radiation of total sunlight is removed from the direct solar beam by scattering into the atmosphere; of this amount (of incident radiation) about two-thirds ultimately reaches the earth as photon diffused skylight radiation.

Edit : probably mostly has to do with your eyes adapting to the luminosity and non linearity of light intensity perception by our eyes. See posts below about Weber-Fechner law of perception.

Edit Edit : This is an intersting read. The TLDR is it mostly has to do with our eyes slowly adapting to the amount of light they receive, and during totality, light bouncing from beyond the umbra comes into play.

You should try DDG’s “bangs” then. They are shortcuts you can type to narrow your search or use another search engine from DDG’s interface.

!gm Singapore will search for Singapore directly in Google Maps

!w Singapore will search for the word in Wikipedia

!g will search in Google, etc.

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for a few years now, and I never went back to Google. Maybe give it a try !

Exactly, the egg floating doesn’t mean that it’s not edible anymore, just that it’s old.
