Science has a huge shortcoming with desperate scientists wanting funding and making up just enough to keep it. The peer review process works when it’s something that actually gets properly peer reviewed, but there’s not much money in peer reviewing a claim that x molecule lowers your heart rate by 10%.
Science will be great if society ever got to the point of no longer needing money or barter. Which would happen due to science.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto News@lemmy.world•‘Explosive increase’ of ticks that cause meat allergy in US due to climate crisis548·2 days agoVegans are so damned annoying. They’re worse than the ticks.
Obviously not something the Dude would do, but I might try this.
So if I’m walking towards my house after giving one a ride I can’t tell her to come on in?
The Dude is both chill, and poor. Not everyone has coffee liqueur and creamer money. He makes do with what’s around and he’s happy about it.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Disney killed a bunch of puppies making "Snow Buddies" and weren't allowed to use the "no animals were harmed" claimEnglish13·3 days agoLol. Dude. If you think green screens and CGI weren’t super easy to recognize back in the 80’s, you need to go watch some old movies that used it.
Also, yeah, Tron released 2 years earlier and had some CGI. There was even CGI way before Tron in movies. When I say there was no CGI, I’m saying there was no CGI that could fool even a 6 year old into thinking an animal was jumping off of a cliff.
As for the green screen thing… Bless your little soul.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Disney killed a bunch of puppies making "Snow Buddies" and weren't allowed to use the "no animals were harmed" claimEnglish12·4 days agoSnopes can leave things unsecured all they want, but the footage of what happened to the cats and dogs is proof. There wasn’t any CGI in 1986 and the abusive and stressful situations they did to them was obviously real. But yes, it was Japan instead of China.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Disney killed a bunch of puppies making "Snow Buddies" and weren't allowed to use the "no animals were harmed" claimEnglish1·4 days agoI checked. It was Japan and not China, but the relevancy is that the US in the 80’s wouldn’t have been allowed to throw a cat off a cliff or get ones pay bitten by a lobster or tossed in a river. Snopes not confirming anything is irrelevant, since there’s actual footage of this stuff happening. Do you have a stress free way of throwing a kitten off of a cliff?

Come to find out the whole thing was filmed in China.

After doing some wtf research, the thing was filmed in China. Those poor kittens and puppies.

They had the best dacs and some good phones.
Japan is open about all the weird shit people should keep private, and private about a lot of things the rest of the world would talk to a stranger about.

Also, who wants to further risk wearing out\vreaking their charge port, jack inputs almost seem like they can’t break.
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.deto science@lemmy.world•Single psilocybin trip delivers two years of depression relief for cancer patientsEnglish12·9 days agoNo. The group that tripped once was getting regular therapy sessions both before and after. There should have been a control group getting the same amount of therapy, but the article makes no mention of their percentage rates.
