Silane is a pyrophoric gas. Its chemical formula is SiH4.
It spontaneously ignites when in contact with air. (SiH4+2O2->SiO2+2H2O)
Commonly produced with the following process:
1. Silicon dioxide is burned with magnesium, forming magnesium silicide. (SiO2+2Mg->Mg2Si+O2)
2. The magnesium silicide is placed into hydrochloric acid, forming silane gas, which ignites as it bubbles out of solution. (Mg2Si+4HCl->2MgCl2+SiH4)

Evelyn: I just made silane gas from household chemicals!
Tom: Nice! Did it explode or ignite?
Evelyn: It popped as it bubbled out. What an interesting gas.

Get the Silanemug. Rodinia is a relatively famous supercontinent that existed towards the end of the Proterozoic Eon. Nevertheless, many people don't know it. It existed from the Stenian period to right before the Cryogenian period encompassing nearly all of the Tonian period.
It was almost exactly on the opposite side of where Pangea formed. It turned inside out during the Cryogenian period to become Pannotia, leaving out exposed rocks that sucked up carbon dioxide, thus causing a snowball earth. Pannotia somehow still didn't make it into the Phanerozoic Eon.
Rodinia wasn't by itself unlike other supercontinents. It had a continent to the west of it as its companion. Made of parts of South America and Africa, this continent was called Congo. While Rodinia turned itself inside out, Congo got caught in between the two halves, completing Pannotia.

Jack who lives in eastern South America: Bruh, my point 800 million years ago was in Congo and not in the rest of Rodinia. Why were the bacteria that lived where I am not able to party with everyone else until 720 million years ago? I feel bad for them.
Kate who lives in western Africa: The bacteria that lived where I am partied with the bacteria that lived where you are for billions of years! Don't feel bad when it comes to paleogeography or paleontology. There are always good things behind terrible extinction events and isolation from everyone else.

Cells are either alive or dead.
A dead cell becomes alive if they have 3 alive neighbours. Alive cells stay alive if they have 2 or 3 alive neighbours. Otherwise, they either die or stay dead.

Get the Alt+F4mug. Comprising of the Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras, this eon spans 541 million years from the Cambrian Explosion to today.
During the Paleozoic era, complex life started to appear. It took 100 million years for the aquatic plants and animals to migrate to land. Then, another 130 million years later, giant bugs started to appear. 60 million years later, entire coalfields from the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse Event were set on fire by volcanic activity, causing the Permian-Triassic extinction. The Mesozoic era had begun.
20 million years later, dinosaurs started to appear. They died altogether during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction 66 million years ago beginning the Cenozoic era. The mammals started to dominate land. 60 million years later, the Mediterranean Sea drained up, but quickly refilled due to closure and reopening of the Strait of Gibraltar. 6 million years later, humans finally appeared, ending the story of earth's life as we knew it.

Get the Phanerozoic Eonmug. Comprising of the Paleoproterozoic, Mesoproterozoic and Neoproterozoic Eras, This eon spans from 2.5 billion years ago to 541 million years ago lasting almost 2 billion years.
During the beginning of this eon, cyanobacteria rapidly reproduced and photosynthesized turning a lot of carbon dioxide to oxygen. This oxygen reacted with the iron in the oceans, filling the oceans with iron rust BIFs, turning the oceans blood red. Later, there was no longer enough iron to hold onto the oxygen, and it escaped into the atmosphere. That oxygen formed the ozone layer. Nearly all of the carbon dioxide turned into oxygen, turning earth into a snowball earth.
The snowball earth quickly recovered after 300 million years. Then, supercontinent Columbia formed. For the next billion years, climate remained notably stable. This period of time from 1.8 billion years to 800 million years ago was called "The boring billion". During this period, supercontinent Rodinia formed, but broke apart. The rocks that became exposed sucked up more carbon dioxide from volcanoes, turning earth into a second snowball earth.
After that recovered, the two halves of Rodinia reunited around the South Pole forming supercontinent Pannotia. However, it broke apart during the end of the eon just as animals started to appear, as Laurentia rifted away from the rest of the supercontinent. Finally, the End-Ediacaran extinction event took place to end the eon.
