Though it is true that a four lobed pepper generally has more seeds just due to the larger size of the fruit’s cavity, this is independent of any “gender identity” the plant may or may not posses. 😏 Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but the number of these internet “hacks” that are made up and passed on to those who don’t know any better just irks me. Love the other info though, keep it up! 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lacanteen Posted August 16, 2018 Author Share Posted August 16, 2018 Most people don’t have a strong intuitive sense of how much bigger 1 billion is than 1 million. 1 million seconds is about 11 days. 1 billion seconds is about 31.5 years.

The addition of a day isn't perfect. A year is 365.242199 days. Adding a day every 4 years is 365.25, which overcompensates by by .00801, and to accommodate this error they skip the leap year every 100 years, but now it is short by .002199, so they add the leap year back in every 400 years. It's now over by .00037801. This means the leap year in 2000 was a once in a 400 year event, and at the time I don't think many people knew about it. I haven't been able to find out if they take it any further or not, but corrections at that point would be in the thousands of years. I assume any idea of adjusting will be left to the future.
