It's one of those Berenstein things, people remember it coming from Bill Nye but it's famously absent from any of the episodes. The phrase actually originates from Parasite Eve, which is also a good educational resource on the history & function of mitochondria

The Little Death posted:Saying mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell actually sort of obscures their function. Mitochondria produced the ATP that cell structures use to do work, but the energy release isn't in the mitochondria it's at the point of work when the ATP transfers a phosphate group to another molecule. If we're being picky about high school science simplifications; Hydroelectric dams dont produce energy either, they simply convert it from gravitational potential energy into electrical energy.

The other fun thing about ATP afaik is that it allows muscles to unlock their fibers, your muscles lock by default, and require ATP input to unlock. That's why you get rigor mortis.

There's a beautiful series of now-deleted tweets replying to this where someone insists that Guiliani's right because the only context in which they've ever encountered "opacity" is Photoshop and CSS, where they think it means "you can see it" and not "you can't see through it".

That looks like a liquid flamethrower so I'm amazed that he didn't kill anyone. From the lack of smoke he's probably using something a bit lighter than normal flamethrower fuel.

If this was normal times and I went out to eat and asked to be seated indoors I would get pissed at the hostess if they tried to put me in one of those. Unless they're triangular, they're not completely enclosed.

Like, I assume, a lot of people, I first encountered the word "Opacity' in Photoshop as a teenager. Since you only ever seek out the "opacity" slider when you want to make an item transparent, I can understand how you'd start to associate the word "opacity" with "see through things".

But that would mean ignoring that transparent = 0% opacity or not saying "I gotta turn the opacity down"

Thinking legal terms will be exactly the same as your misunderstanding of photoshop terminology probably qualifies you to be Trump's attorney.

Rudy Giuliani was 45 years old when Photoshop was first released. In his case, senility is a more likely explanation.
