  • Increasing the surface area of a substance increases its reaction rate. Proof by garlic.

  • A friend of mine (from Palestine) taught me another trick with garlic: mince the garlic, then generously sprinkle it with coriander powder and mash it all together with a fork. Add to a dish (like a sauce or a stew) when it's already mostly cooked, just at the end. It has a pretty intense flavor and is really yummy.

  • Contadont deny it.

  • Can anyone explain this to me? I cannot find anything searching for contadont :/

  • Ideal Beach Body

    Jump

  • I like this list of instructions on how to have a beach body best:

    • have a body
    • go to the beach

  • In 2015, the Fortingall Yew, one of the oldest trees in Europe, decided trans rights are tree rights and switched its sex to female 🏳️‍⚧️ eat shit transphobes

  • Well, plants really don't have to deal with our binary bullshit. Most of them don't have any sex because they have perfect flowers anyways, meaning their flowers have male and female gametes.

  • Fun science fact

    Jump

  • If Santa is the Queen, there needs to be some male drones impregnating him. It would make sense that the reindeer would fly to the freshly hatched Santas to mate with them. The sledge is only their form of wings then.

  • Wtf is that

    Jump

  • As a biologist, it is always surprising to me, how frequently people don't realize that all plants in our environment have some sort of reproduction. Like, that grass also has flowers and all house plants would also flower (except for ferns) if they were growing under the right conditions. Plant blindness is real.

  • Latin names suck

    Jump

  • Just that this "robin" isn't one, it actually is a thrush. A robin would be Erithacus. They are both in different families even (and also look pretty different).

  • Guess I have to go to Burger King more often

    Jump

  • I think even orally taking bioactive estrogen is not ideal because the body tries to filter it out. So when taking estrogen orally you need a much higher dosage then via injections or gels. With plant hormones you'd need an even higher dosage than that...

  • "Sie sind einfach verschwunden": Australiens Influencer schlagen Alarm

    Jump

  • Ja, stimme dir da voll zu!

  • NSFW

    suck it

    Jump

  • Hm, to me this feels like it's about patriarchal power and that it is therefore inherently violent language.

  • "Sie sind einfach verschwunden": Australiens Influencer schlagen Alarm

    Jump

  • Find ich gut, wenn die influencer-Kultur dadurch mehr gedeckelt wird. Besonders, wenn sie eh vor allem junge Menschen als Zielgruppe hat, die einfacher zu manipulieren sind.

  • Workers and the Vanguard have different class interests

    Jump

  • Hm, so if you don't want to use the term vanguard anymore, how are you going to talk about the seizing of power by a small authoritarian group during a revolution? And what would be your solution to prevent this from happening?

  • Choose your fighters, chat.

    Jump

  • I really dislike cultivars like this where they have been changed so much it doesn't look like actual plants...

  • Confusingly, there is the animal in the post that is commonly called pika (Ochotona daurica). What I had to think of first was Pica pica though (the Eurasian magpie)

  • I can never take 4trans shit seriously

    Jump

  • This is not true. It isn't any prove that people that weigh more than the "healthy" range are less healthy. That is just more stigma against fat people. Obesity as a concept is deeply intervowen with stigma.

    I can recommend the podcast "Maintenance Phase", where the hosts tackle these misconceptions and the stigma with deep dives into the actual research. Most of the debate about health is just bullshit and more about normativity and power than it is about health.

  • I can never take 4trans shit seriously

    Jump

  • "Overweight" is a fat-shaming term in itself and it is loaded with social stigma and devaluation...

  • I can never take 4trans shit seriously

    Jump

  • Sure, although in most trans women not as much that C cups would be seen as small.

    Anyways, that's not what the other person was talking about. They used specifically "overweight" as a term to devaluate someone.
