@Resonating I did some further research and this page (tutorvista.com/content/biology/biology-iv/respiration-animals/…) clearly states that "germinating seeds respire anaerobically".
The page also goes on to say "The alcoholic fermentation carried out by the germinating seeds is always called anaerobic respiration."

@Leuchte I have very limited knowledge of biology but I know that "always" is almost always scientifically incorrect or imprecise.

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. blue is "always" blue ;)
only joking
I understand your point
 
@Leuchte No it's not.
 
although the fact the page makes use of the term still makes a significant signpost
 
yesterday, by Resonating
The more you learn the more you realize that it's invariably too complicated and weird to be described with words like 'alive' or 'dead'
I'm inclined to think of it like "ionic vs. covalent vs. covalent polar bonds".
 
@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. Ah I see - different visual interpretations of blue
How about 90 is "always" equal to 90?
 
No it's not.
 
5:38 PM
Ok then - please elaborate!
 
90 whales != 90 squirrels >:P
School analogy, but it works in a semi-argument argument.
 
I guess you win :P

Q: Bright flash of light when poking my eye!

TanMathSo idk why, but recently, I poked myself in between my eye and eye socket, right below my eyebrow, and sometimes I would get this flash of light. I am wondering why is this the case. Does it have to do with the nerves in the eye?

 
@TanMath Maybe his teacher asked him to poke his eye?! ;)
 
@Leuchte this is my question... did you downvote?
 
@TanMath I never downvoted it
 
@Leuchte I did not have a prof. asking me to poke my eye..

Please do read my comment
I've upvoted it in fact

Q: How do we improve chat?

TanMathRecently, many members of to community, including me, have noticed that our chat is very close to dead in terms of how active our chat is. I want to change that. I've seen how chats can be beneficial to the site's quality and content. I do think SE chat can be important to a SE community. For ex...
