USAMRIID @usamriid.bsky.social · 06/07/2026Ever wonder why hydrogen peroxide bubbles in wounds? The bubbling behavior is entirely driven by proteins, specifically, it is caused by catalase, an antioxidant protein / enzyme found in most living cells (including your own blood, damaged tissue, and certain bacteria.) Ear infection? Bubbles! 051

USAMRIID @usamriid.bsky.social · 17/10/2025There have been 5 terrorist attacks by left wing people in America in 2025. Just 5. That's it. When the Nazis claim that left wing terrorism is "on the rise," they are right. 5 incidents is the left wing's 30 year high. Now count up every Republican act of terrorism and include the daily NRA. 010
