 These swimming pools with black tiles are my aesthetic.
 gabriel-patches-titanfeather
 Make the black tiles out of that black material that absorbs all
 light and swim over the void.
 ract facts-i-just-made-up
 Fun fact about Vantablack- Because it absorbs all light, it heats
 up very fast. If exposed to direct sunlight, it takes in all the UV
 and heat and contains them, and can reach heats well over
 212°F, the boiling point of water. So if you did coat the pool in
 that material, the water would boil as soon as the sun touched it,
 killing everyone swimming in it.
 But that's not all. The flash boiling of an entire pool of
 chlorinated water would release the chlorine as gas, which would
 kill everyone within a 200ft radius of the pool. And it doesn't end
 there.
 The release of chlorine gas combined with the heat of the black
 tiles would be more than sufficient to fuse the boiled hydrogen
 ions with the chlorine, creating an explosive reaction with the
 nitrogen in the air. So shortly after everyone in the pool boils
 and everyone around the pool dies of chlorine gas poisoning,
 the region would explode with the force of a small atomic bomb
 (8kt for a pool like those pictured above), leveling about 50 city
 blocks.
 You'd think that would be bad enough, but get this-
 Such chemical explosions expel gamma rays. Gamma rays ionize
 hematite, which is the mineral from which the black material
 mentioned is made. This creates Scopohyoscpnol, a compound
 known as "The Zombie Drug" because it essentially erases the
 brain and induces cannibalistic tendencies in its victim. It can
 be transmitted through saliva, infecting all who are bitten within
 hours.
 So basically, if you did have Vantablack tiles in your pool, you
 would boil your friends, poison your neighbors, nuke your city,
 and condemn the globe to a zombie plague. But to be fair, it
 would look pretty cool.

    Children, Food, and Life: What is the loveliest thing a child has
 ever said to you?

 OK- it was not my child but my 3-year-old
 granddaughter, but I still think it counts.
 I had read about the marshmallow test. You give a child
 a marshmallow, and then say that if she (Layla, in this
 case) could keep from eating it for 10 minutes, you'll
 give her a second. So I tried that test with my
 granddaughter (not with marshmallows, but with
 chocolate, which she likes much more)
 According to extensive experiments, children who
 "pass" the "marshmallow test" are far more successful
 in later life. They have learned a fundamental truth in
 life, that delayed gratification can lead to a far better
 long-term outcome.
 She sat and watched the chocolate. The 10-minute
 hourglass finally emptied, and she had succeeded. She
 asked for her second piece of chocolate. I gave it to her,
 and she now had two in her hand. That's when she
 looked up at me and asked, "Would you like one,
 Grandpa?"
 Needless to say, from that moment on I would readily
 give my life for her.

The sweetest granddaughter
btw the marshmallow test has been linked to class - kids from wealthier families are essentially more likely to trust that they will actually get the marshmallow if they wait whereas poorer kids are generally more used to like, if you have food, eat it. and being wealthier correlates to being more successful later in life because our system is broken. so THAT’s probably why the marshmallow test is a predictor - because it tells you who is wealthy, not who is innately primed to be successful

Classic correlation does not equal causationïżŒ
