  • A myopia epidemic is sweeping the globe

    Jump

  • Well like how glasses fix myopia it isnt really an ailment anymore then. Ideally that's what we should be aiming for. Fixing - not making better just to make better

    We only see people with PKU (phenylketonuria) or ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) living normally because of our advances in medical fields. Before in our history they would perish (or unfortunately be culled) like the stunted hawk

    It's a highly grey area in ethics, but I think as long as we have best interest in mind and dont end up like the humans in Wall-E we should be fine. Star Trek also covers a lot of eugenics topics and in the end they also think humans should take the course of evolution and avoid things like designer babies or genetic enhancements

    And its honestly incredible though. Humans literally fighting (and winning) against evolution/nature

    Ugh terrible. Like how do you receive a letter like this and still think "yeah I'm the right one and not a racist POS war mongering profiteer". Theres no shame anymore

  • A myopia epidemic is sweeping the globe

  • Interesting that 3/10 people globally have myopia (near sightedness)... that's absurdly high. And as the trends stay as they are they are only predicting an increase

    I guess it proves humans as a whole are focusing more on screens, books, and other short visions tasks

    Focusing on providing safe outdoor spaces for everyone has never been more important

  • Around 920,000 shelter animals are euthanized annually in the United States, with 390,000 of those being dogs

  • To put it in perspective a 1f change in water temperature is like a 1f degree change in our bodies. A fever for a short time, no big deal. Too long and you die

    These creatures use the ocean to regulate their temperature. It needs to stay consistent for them like how we have a stable 98.6f

  • What's best practice in this scenario?

    Jump

  • I agree with other users saying neem oil. Just be careful, its oily, stinks when sprayed and it is technically a pesticide (even though its natural)

    Also yes to other users suggesting cut back to root/above node. All dead/brown stuff is exactly that. Dead. If you really like a certain leaf you can trim brown spots off, but if the cause is underlying like bugs or nutrients that hasn't been fixed it will continue to brown

    Good luck! Monstera are tough, she'll be fine soon
