Saying a Jihad just means "Struggle" is like saying a Crusade is just an expedition of people marked by the cross.
Like, sure, if only translate it literally and you ignore all the historical context.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I mean not really. Greater jihad is a fully inner struggle to be a good person. Lesser jihad is about converting others, the lesser jihad of the pen/tongue is about debate and proselytizing, onky jihad of the sword is about violence and only those in active combat. For all Muslims the greater jihad is the most important part, and for 95% of Muslims the jihad of the pen is the only relavent part. In the Qur'an there are roughly 30 references to greater jihad, and 10 or so for the lesser jihad.
And most Christian Crusades are about making gay people scared, not conquering Jerusalem
The "we have more than 5 senses" insistence, while interesting, misconstrues what is typically understood as a "sense" by the average person.
When children are taught what the 5 senses are, i.e. seeing, hearing, touch, taste and smell, these are more literary senses than scientific ones. (In another vein, it's like disagreeing whether a tomato is a vegetable, fruit, or both -- scientists and cooks have different definitions!)
Proprioception, the unconscious spatial perception of your body parts, falls under "feel." Hunger and thirst do, too. I feel hungry, I feel that my leg is below me, I feel off-balance. These scientifically-defined senses fall under one literary sense or another.
Since this is just a mangling of definitions, it's almost irresponsible to call the five-senses thing a misconception. That being said, it did interest me; did you know that endolymph fluid in our ears uses its inertia to tell us what's going on when we turn our heads? ツ
MSG = headaches is actually true for many people.
"Effect of systemic monosodium glutamate (MSG) on headache and pericranial muscle sensitivity :
"We conducted a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study to investigate the occurrence of adverse effects such as headache... there was a significant increase in reports of headache..." SOURCE
In addition, if you add oil to your cooked and drained pasta, it absolutely stops it from sticking vs. not adding oil. Just don't add it to the water, as it's just wasteful.
If you look at the sources, they corrected it.
Oh, wow. I can't even see that sources are listed when using Voyager because if you swipe up to see it past the voting overlay, it closes the image.
Glad they corrected it 🤗
Humans and dinosaurs absolutely co-existed (e.g. chickens). The misconception is that dinosaurs are extinct.
The real question is which pre-human dinosaur would be best with stuffing and gravy.
That's only true in the cladistic sense though.
I question the salt in boiling water one. Sure it probably doesn't change the temperature or energy required but shouldn't it aid in nucleation to make the boil more bubbly?
Or are the existing impurities in most tap water such that salt doesn't add anything meaningful?
Salted water boils at a higher temp vs. unsalted water - this is known as boiling point elevation. But I don't know offhand (there's a formula) how much salt would be required to meaningfully raise the boiling point.
You would need enough salt to make a brine to noticably affect the boiling temperature. It takes about 30 grams of table salt per liter of water to raise the boiling temperature of water to 100.5 Celsius at sea level.. The only difference you would actually notice is your food is now inedible because you have used an entire restaurant table shaker of salt in your food.
If you throw it in just before it's boiling yes, you will see the water bubble up for a moment for the reason you said... once dissolved if anything at those amounts, it raises the boiling temp a little
A solution should theoretically boil at a higher point of vaporization and melt at a lower point of fusion ( becoming liquid from solid) .
Iirc trees aren't a cladistic group; "tree" is a word that describes a phenotype. Bananas absolutely grow on trees because "a tree-like herb" is a tree.
Palm "trees" are a type of grass. That one fucks with me.
The coriolis force affects water in toilets, but about a thousandth as much as the shape of the toilet/the way water enters the bowl.
An oak tree is more closely related to corn and wheat than it is to a pine tree. Coelacanths are more closly related to whales than they are to tunas. Biology gets weird man.
Every mushroom is closer to humans than to any plant.
A pretty good number of these are just pointing out differences between colloquial language and specific language.
Botanical language is useful for botanists to communicate with each other but I’m not putting tomatoes in the fruit salad. Thinking of tomatoes as veggies in your kitchen isn’t some MYTH! Calling a tall plant a tree is useful for you and I to communicate. That does not mean we are deceived or attempting to undermine the work of our botany friends.
