We're Now Pretty Certain Life on Earth Is 3.5 Billion Years Old

We're Now Pretty Certain Life on Earth Is 3.5 Billion Years Old: "The Earth is 4.5 billion years old. But what about the life that exists on it? We've thought since 2006 that biological activity in the form of stromatolites—ancient layered geological structures—first appeared here 3.5 billion years ago, and now we have even more evidence to prove it. Scientists took to the Strelley Pool Formation in Australia to check out the sulfur some rock formations that got there as a result of biological activity. They've looked at these deposits before, but this time they analyzed them through a different technique—analyzing the distribution of isotopes in each layer rather than on the whole—and their findings corroborated previous conclusion.

7 Deadly Weapons You Should Never Ever Make Out of Harmless Household Items: "I write a lot about edgy, semi-dangerous scientific projects. So, I get a lot of suggestions from people who want to share their own ideas for risky home projects. I like the reader engagement, but four times out of five, the ideas are dumb, and borderline deadly.

Badass Chicks In Israel Don't Go To the Beach Without Their Assault Rifles

Badass Chicks In Israel Don't Go To the Beach Without Their Assault Rifles: "When you go to the beach there are a few things you must remember: your towel, your sunscreen, and your assault rifle. At least, if you're in Israel. This chick is all ready for a day in the Tel Aviv sun, with her bikini and her M4 strapped to her back. Though it doesn't have the magazine, it's fairly common to see to see scenes like this in the country over the summer.

And even if she was just showing off, she looked incredibly badass doing so. [Reddit] "
