Except cows can see colour. They only have 2 types of colour receptors in their eyes, compared to humans 3, (missing the red one, from what I gather with 30 sec of googling?) so their colour vision is much more limited compared to ours, but they are not colour blind.

“Colour blind” humans can also often see some colours

Sure, but it seems odd to be picky on the use of the word “tree” to refer to the banana tree rather than a herb, but then make the general statement that cows are “colour blind” when they can actually see colour.

Pretty cool, definitely cleared up a few for me, but … nobody knows what happens in a black hole, they are a big warp in spacetime, and it’s mathematically possible that they lead to a different part of the universe or contain an ~infinite amount of space that you could live in. See supermassive black holes, einstien-rosen bridge, or the nobel work of Penrose. But yes they are created due to density

The reason why medieval stained glass windows are thicker on the bottom is a deliberate choice to make the party which would bear the weight of the windows stronger.

Isn’t “it’s not a tree it’s a [name plant type] that looks like a tree” true for most trees?

True. “Tree” is not a compact category that encompasses all examples whilst excluding things that aren’t trees, not rather a vibe about whether something feels tree-like. Palm trees, for example, are not the same sort of organism as oaks.
