    Bread is filling and high in carbs, but has little nutritional value. When ducks eat bread, it tastes good and it also encourages them to fill up on it, which can lead to protein deficiency iirc. Also ducks with diets low in certain vitamins develop a condition known as angel wing, which renders the wings unusable due to excessive feather growth (too heavy for young ducks’ wings; developing wings are bent outwards due to weight).





  • My point is that your 3.8 Engineering/Humanities assignment is not a product that needs to marketed to the masses. 5k words in that space is easy, and I think this because I have done the same thing in the same field (Engr).

    12k words isn’t a huge amount, but as a published sci-fi writer you already understand that fictional writing is a saturated market with brutal competition, and publisher deal deadlines can be brutal too.



  • All of my friends who went to catholic school had the opposite experience. Evolution was handwaved away as complete nonsense, and God’s benevolence was the answer for why people exist. My public school taught evolution very thoroughly, though none of my science teachers seemed creationist.
