This indeed cool!

It seems to almost store energy for dissipation through the 2nd pendulum when a quantity has been achieved.

Pretty hard to find any living thing older than that!

Physicists Catch Light in 'Imaginary Time'

Oral chemesthesis. Aka how we perceive chemical sensations like burning of capsaicin, cooling of menthol, and astringency of coffee, tannins, carbonic acid etc in the mouth. Of course this sense can be hypersensitive (or hypo-) as well. And it affects many things. Sensitive people may for example mask it by adding milk to tea or coffee. Strong alcohols are liked more by less sensitive people. Sensitive people are often drawn towards fatty, salty and sweet foods.
Insights into oral chemesthetic perception. A focus on food-related behavior.
