I felt so good about the first one since I tried it without looking anything up. The rest of them I did some research in another tab based on text in the images, or to confirm patterns such as flags

Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

I'm not sure if I've seen this, is this about the pronunciation?

I think every 2 digits represents a word, and the number is which guess you got it on

So 3️⃣7️⃣ is the word you got on guess #37

I'm not sure if this counts, but I've enjoyed some pieces from The Conversation. They're detailed and written by someone who has experience in the subject

Now that they mention it, I would like step-by-step instructions on how a Fierce Burrito is made

The article is by Rajendra Gupta, Adjunct professor Physics @ L’Université d’Ottawa/University of Ottawa

First few lines:

Do constants of nature — the numbers that determine how things behave, like the speed of light — change over time as the universe expands? Does light get a little tired travelling vast cosmic distances? It was believed that dark matter and dark energy explained these cosmological phenomena, but recent research indicates that our universe has been expanding without dark matter or dark energy.

Doing away with dark matter and dark energy resolves the “impossible early galaxy problem,” that arises when trying to account for galaxies that do not adhere to expectations regarding to size and age. Finding an alternative to dark matter and energy that complies with existing cosmological observations, including galaxy distribution, is possible.

“We need to consider alternatives to dark matter that better explain cosmological observations” (see comments for discussion)
