  • We are more of a symbiont than we like to admit with more than half of our cells being non-human.

    Next step is to find a suitable photobiont and go find a rock to lie on

  • Study: Bacteria in Kimchi Could Eliminate Nanoplastics from Body

    Jump

  • Wait. Lab mice injected with the lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi had nanoplastic levels twice as high than those not injected... That's the opposite of the claim in the title.

    I had to read this a couple of times.

  • Obnoxious creatures they are, always trying to take the shine from mosses. Mosses don't need symbiosis because they're perfectly able to survive harsh conditions by themselves. There's been hardly a need to change their perfect designs for millions of years.

    Lichens are just the result of symbiotic relationships formed whenever fungi and algae or cyanobacteria feel like doing it. They're a promiscuous lot. Promiscuous scabs on a rock.

    That's debatable, most sources estimate mosses to have been there before lichens.

    Mosses are true plants and have leaves with chlorophyll though! Way more interesting in the context of there being trees or not. Lichens are just scabs on a rock.

  • Maybe it feels counter-intuitive to some that sharks were there before trees...

    But I hope it is intuitive that there was water long before there was soil? Then it's just a small step to realize life in water has had a much longer time to develop.

    Mosses were likely already there though

  • Study highlights stroke risk linked to recreational drugs(Cannabis, Cocaine and Amphetamines), including among young users

  • You won't live forever if you don't do drugs either, so no worries.

  • Study Suggests Becoming An Expert Bird Watcher May Protect Brain Health

    Jump

  • I don't know, but when I started recognizing birds by sound I noticed it was working as a constant mindfulness exercise whenever I went outside. I suppose mindfulness has similar positive effects on the brain?

    Then I'd say any hobby that encourages mindfulness could have a positive effect on your brain?

  • Can Psychedelic Experiences Really Improve Your Mental Health?

    Jump

  • What even was this article about? It reads like it is building up to something but then fails to deliver.

    Studies conclude that set and setting is key in psychedelic therapy. So yes, priming is crucial and success depends on a lot of factors. But we already knew this. No one serious suggests psychedelics always work and always create a mystical experience in which all problems are solved.

    This article does not add any more info on the question in the title "Can Psychedelic Experiences Really Improve Your Mental Health?". That's just clickbait.

  • ard

    Jump

  • I'm no expert at this, but it seems to be the suffix here is 'tard' not 'ard', coming from Latin.

    The root already has tard in it, from Latin retardare. It also has the word tard in it, French for late. Retard also means late in French.

    Does anyone here know? This post also had me wondering about retard.

  • I'm not commenting on people staying on topic, I'm saying the topic is always celebrities with you guys. No matter who started it.

    And with your excellent ability to stay on this topic, the topic doesn't change much.

    I just called this reaction to the post that was already about influencers the Americanest thing I read, I did not mean any offense.

  • according to sugar daddy’s net worth actually

    Jump

  • I don't think it's a stretch to comment on Americans always making things about celebrities and influencers, even if there is many facets to war.

    This is the facet on the war, of which there are many, that the posts and the commenter highlight and I'm commenting on it because I find the talk of "bloodthirst" and "sad there's innocent people killed, better take some of those influencers with them" appalling.

  • according to sugar daddy’s net worth actually

    Jump

  • Yes you're really turning into a caricature of the US

  • according to sugar daddy’s net worth actually

    Jump

  • You hate influencers, but you guys still make this about the US and its influencers. "Sad there is a war, but please kill our influencers".

    That's about the Americanest thing I ever read. Not everything is about you and your celebrities.

    Too bad about the insects though.

  • Plato's Academy definitely did not start as a mosque... So I guess you're refering to al-Qarawiyyin University.

    Islam did a much better job of incorporating science, so it's not really comparable to a seminary either. It's not like they only taught theology there. We owe a great deal to the science being done by Muslims in those days. A hell of a lot more happened there than in the Middle Ages in Europe.

    Besides, the university of Cambridge also started as a religious institution. I see no difference. All old universities have religious roots I guess? It took a long time for mankind to come up with secular education so why are the Islamic roots even a cause to question the validity of this university?

  • I know, I usually do.

    But with this I thought it was laid on thick enough so the people who read it as sarcasm read it as sarcasm and the people who don't deserve to live in confusion.

  • "In the United States of America".

    The birthplace of freedom and democracy. The beacon of light and justice in the world. So strange that it is happening over there. Who could have seen this coming?

    One could expect this to happen anywhere, but in the United States of America? No way.

  • One of the 5 animals believed to have the capacity for sentience? I think you mean consciousness?

    The entire mammal kingdom is widely considered sentient. As are many other groups like fish and insects.

    Even with consciousness it's stretching it is very conservative to estimate just 5 species.
