If you found it in China, then its native there. I read about some plants of this family being invasive across some Pacific islands.
- Comment on Can someone please identify this plant ?? 5 hours ago:
In that case it might be something like Achyrates Bidentata or one of its relatives. A lot of those are used in traditional medicine.
During the Chinese Liang Dynasty, Achyranthes bidentata was used for its abortion effectiveness. Chinese folk doctors would take the juices of crushed up Achyranthes bidentata and insert them into the vagina to induce abortion.[4] This abortive technique was common among folk medicine practitioners in southern China during the Republican period.[5]
Yikes.

How big are the leaves? Does it smell nice when you rub a leaf between your fingers?

Wait, is that why I don’t care about sports? Because I’m too straight?

Because HTML rules are the tools of the bourgeois. /s
- Comment on Global investment in renewable energy up 10% on 2024 despite Trump rollback 2 months ago:
Once renewables are there, you’re set. Your energy and it’s prices no longer depends on the whims of crazy foreign politicians. And the amount of them keeps increasing.

Plenty of people thought that I will be a scientist but I did one standard deviation calculation for a test and noped out of the idea.

- Comment on The Earth Is Splitting Open: Giant Cracks Are Swallowing African Cities Whole 2 months ago:
Many Central African cities are built on sandy terrain and steep slopes—conditions that make the earth especially vulnerable to erosion. When rain falls, instead of soaking gently into the ground, it rushes downhill, carrying grains of soil with it. Over time, rivulets deepen into channels. Left unchecked, those channels can transform into colossal gullies, wide and deep enough to engulf homes, bridges, and entire streets.
Nope.
- Comment on The Internet Will Be More Dead Than Alive Within 3 Years, Trend Shows 2 months ago:
I have this idea of a story where teenagers from the near future ditch the digital tech and start reading books in secret, meeting away from the adults to discuss what they read. The adults think that it’s a cult of some sort, and that the books are dangerous, etc.

- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 months ago:
“If you want peace, prepare for war” is literally a 2500 year-old sentiment. If you were a mugger, whom would you rob, a guy who walks around saying how he has no means to defend himself, or a guy who is armed to the teeth?

Genetically modifying algae to be more efficient at photosynthesis would be the way to go. However, I think it was attempted many times in the last 30 years and I have not seen any breakthroughs.

- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 months ago:
Fiber is like rail transport for the internet: expensive, high throughput infrastructure along a defined path. But when it’s already there, it’s very hard to beat.
Oh right, Musk stopped the discussion of proposed rail expansion with his Boring tunnels and Hyperloop, now he is doing the same thing to the internet.

Yes, but if they convict you, the copyright holders can use your case as a precedent for suing the AI companies. At least that’s the way I understand it, I don’t live in a country with precedent law.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is the most niche genre that you like? 3 months ago:
There is an anime called Silver Spoon, based on a manga made by the author of Fullmetal Alchemist. It’s about a student that starts studying in a school of agriculture.

A particularly nasty neighbour who smokes and drinks a lot is 30 but looks 50, so this checks out for me.

Fullmetal Alchemist made me start drawing.
- Comment on Steam is cracking down on porn games, to keep Payment Processors happy. 4 months ago:
One theory I heard is that during Covid, the outside world became scary and strangers unattainable. So the only accessible women are the ones that live with you. In many scenarios, people are step-siblings just to explain away why does a shut-in guy have a hot girl in his home.

And then they release an “unofficial patch”.

- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 5 months ago:
I had that during my second year of master’s. I barely understood it and the rest of the class couldn’t understand it at all. I wrote my exam and forgot 99% of it a week later.

I had a colleague like that, he was an electric engineer who was convinced that the Earth is flat and that vaccines are bad.
