There is actually a such thing as a whitesmith. Just like a blacksmith, they work with metal, except they do not form metal with any forges or heat (think origami with flat sheets of metal).
˝/\__/\˝
(✿●‿⁠⁠<)✨️
Aye, Blacksmith works with hot metal, while Whitesmith works with cold metal. Blacksmiths work with the forge using black coal to make black iron (or steel/tempered iron). Whitesmith works with white iron (tin) and is another word for tinsmith. It shared the same root as tinker/tinkerer, which used to mean a tinsmith who traveled and repaired metal household items (think utensils, pitchers, etc) using tin, which doesn't need high temperature to work with.

Here is another absolutely fucking useless fact/knowledge I remembered. There is a citable scholarly article that studies the aerodynamic effect of large breasts. Here is the citation, and abstract...
Rabino, N.. (2018). Analysis and Qualitative Effects of Large Breasts on Aerodynamic Performance and Wake of a “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” Character. 10.13140/RG.2.2.30181.50404/1. A computational fluid dynamics methodology is used to study the salient flow features around the breasts of a human figure and to describe the aerodynamic differences imparted by their geometric presence. Two models are proposed for examination: a 3-dimensional reference based on a character design with a significantly buxom figure and a modification of this design where the breast size is reduced significantly. The two models are tested at speeds ranging from 1 to 30 m⋅s^-1 using Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS). Drag, lift, and skin friction forces, along with turbulence kinetic energy (TKE), are investigated and compared between the different models. The present results are expected to provide useful information on the validity of the statement, "Flat is Justice" in terms of an aerodynamic standpoint. In addition to this, the results can offer worthwhile data investigating the anthropometrical presence of large breasts on sport aerodynamics.

A dragonfly has a lifespan of only 24 hours
Actually, no. Most species of adult Dragonflies can live to 1-2 weeks, with some species 6-8 weeks/ The low life expectancy comes from predation, accidents, and other causes. It is the mayflies that have a shorter lifespan, averaging 1-2 days, as they lack a mouth in their adult stay. The female Dolania Americana typically lives for less than 5 minutes

Choose an integer, positive or negative it doesn't matter but it must be an integer(Whole Numbers)
If that number is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1, if the number is even, divide by 2
Repeat this process using the product.
