The mass of an object does not affect how fast it falls if there's no air. So a feather and couch fall at the same speed on the moon.

iirc the ribbons were meant to represent multiple things, like the awareness stamps rainbow dash made, so I think you definitely could use it for autism awareness, especially since it's up to the person viewing to associate it with a particular topic! I'm autistic and also associate the rainbow ribbon with autism, and I'm sure that's also a pretty common understanding of it, so I'd think you'd be fine to use it that way ^^

I only recently found out that the term shark preceded it's use in referring to the animal! they were previously called seadogs and people were referred to as sharks first; that means people were called loan sharks or pool sharks before sharks were called sharks, and the association with predatory people was used to ascribe them the name. (I love sharks, though, and don't think they deserve the bad rap!)

It's more likely to rain on Saturday than Monday in congested areas because of the buildup of pollution. I found this out because I watched a video of a parrot asking Alexa to tell her a fact.
