Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL Gravity is not about mass pulling other mass. It's mass bending ~~time~~ spacetime that makes other mass get closerEnglish
2·1 year agoHey everyone get a glimpse of this loser!
I don’t think it’s funny, because the joke is illogical. If he is a teacher in a University, and it looks like it, that it is his job to mansplain.
So close. You seem to have Sheldon levels of understanding sarcasm.
It’s just a simple joke about the term being misapplied to an everyday setting.

1·2 years agoIt all depends on how you define the word chemtrails. It’s easy to jump to the most ridiculous version of the theory and reject it, but that is somewhat akin to a straw man. In light of what I just showed you, it’s also incredibly contradictory.
No offense, but if you oversimplify the situation to “it’s just contrails that linger and people not understanding this” I think you’re not doing yourself any justice. Not everyone who questions these things is a fool who can’t reason or apply logic.

2·2 years agoYou sound very sure, but don’t forget that the UK admitted to doing similar things, for decades, on an unsuspecting population.

Science@mander.xyz•Major Study Claims to Identify The Root Cause of Obesity: Fructose
1·2 years agoIt is already specifically about fructose. That in itself is a distinction that is swiftly overlooked in the comments. Not to mention that what is discussed is more about the action of the substance, and not necessarily the amount.

Science@mander.xyz•Major Study Claims to Identify The Root Cause of Obesity: Fructose
63·2 years agoIt’s downvoted because the research is much more nuanced than “too much sugar bad”. And because those kinds of comments reek of know-it-all attitude through oversimplification.
Anyhow I can assure you that taking edibles daily is certainly worse than have a beer a week.
This is a crucial point, how can you? Overlooking the major discrepancy in frequency of use.
The active ingredient in edibles is an analogue to something endogenous to the human body, alcohol is just a toxic substance.
How is any of that based on something besides your personal preference? What does quite bad mean? And what is “close to alcohol?” How much alcohol? How high?
I’ve also never met a person that drinks A beer. I’ve met lots that drink beers and call it a beer to minimize their habits though.
No offense but your opinion sounds like an anti drug ad from the 90’s made by someone who’s yet to admit their drug of choice is even a drug.

Hacker News@derp.foo•Cavities were cured in 1985, and no one knows it yetEnglish
4·2 years agoThe infection they talk about is for the native bacteria, they simply don’t know whether the modified one causes the same issue.

You’re missing the point. The issue with Fahrenheit is not about the conversion from Celsius, most Europeans don’t need to do that anyway. The problem is Fahrenheit in itself, it’s just not elegant or scientific and therefore comes off as arbitrary and only makes sense when you grow up with it.
