Oh boy (or whatever), OP, have you walked into the wrong neighborhood. Half of the userbase is trans, 99% are feminist. I’m not entirely sure how you got this 80% upvote ratio.
anyways, get the f out with your boomer jokes.
- Comment on Parents overestimate sons’ maths skills more than daughters’, study finds 1 month ago:
encouragement and additional advanced math education would go against your argument. E.g. more parents believe their kid is gifted and more of them push their kid or explore opportunities for the kid to get better education in the subject.
- Comment on Gas stoves increase nitrogen dioxide exposure above WHO standards – study 1 month ago:
you never used one, yet you have opinions about how it’s gonna be just as good as a gas one. Spoiler alert: it won’t. Oh, and ofc, buy a cheap induction stove for added suffering.
- Comment on Gas stoves increase nitrogen dioxide exposure above WHO standards – study 1 month ago:
tell us the model on which you had a wok working. Cuz I tried all of them out there, including $2k ones and it still sucks. Electric/induction stove – no wok.

Butterfly effect is a fever dream. A world-wide epidemic and you returning back in time to a different planet is a very very likely scenario.

A human pandemic like that would end up with at least half of the population resisting the cure.
Coincidentally, I think I might’ve figured a solution to the climate change.

- Comment on COVID: German man vaccinated 217 times had no side effects 3 months ago:
The team found that the man had higher levels of immune cells and antibodies against coronavirus than people in their control group who had received three vaccine doses.
Well, it worked out for the guy. Can’t blame him, he did what was best for him!
- Comment on COVID: German man vaccinated 217 times had no side effects 3 months ago:
Impossible in Germany. That would require a digital storage of your healthcare data and it being accessible by every vaccination point. A big no-no.
Also, most European countries vaccinated anonymously and regardless of the insurance status – yes that makes a lot of sense. But, essentially, you could vaccinate all you want without any records.
- Comment on Vegan products not always safe for people with dairy allergy, watchdog says 3 months ago:
Ethical decision of not eating animals or facilitate their captive farming for by-products doesn’t imply an ethical decision to avoid some big corpo. It has almost nothing to do with avoiding food being produced in the same room as non-vegan products, and you could ethically argue, you shouldn’t avoid that. Same goes for substitutes. Most of all, 0.1% of some vegan chocolate bar containing miniscule amount of diary that however could trigger someone’s allergy definitely couldn’t count as an ethical violation of vegan philosophy.
What you describe is some overall lifestyle choice that combines ethical reasoning with superstition. Might apply to a lot of vegans out there, but does not define veganism.

I’d say I got a good habit. Too much of the internet randomly filters “obscenity”. Whenever that happens it seems the devs are too fvkin damb to properly implement it.

- Comment on Why does incest result in birth defects? 4 months ago:
And so the reason for malfunctioning alleles not to be dominant is probably natural selection. E.g. you select away bad dominant alleles, but if we assume a low pct of inbreeding, the recessive ones are irrelevant and so they stay.
- Comment on Why does incest result in birth defects? 4 months ago:
When combining two genetic codes you don’t have a way of predicting and selecting what’s good and what’s bad.
Similarly to doing a homework, if you got two copies from two different people and their solutions are not aligned it could mean that one of them is right, or they’re both wrong, or they’re both right, cuz there can be multiple ways to solve a problem, even a math one. You need to be able to circle back and discuss solutions with both of them to understand which one is correct. You do not have this mechanism for genetic cross-over.
Coincidentally, two people can be wrong about something together. School assignments were notorious for setting up traps that everyone would fall for.
TL;DR comparing answers and picking “only matching answers” doesn’t seem like a necessarily better path.
- Comment on Why does incest result in birth defects? 4 months ago:
Ok, but why are recessive genes necessarily bad?
Or, they probably aren’t, but it turns out when you activate them you get more bads than the goods. Why is that?

- Comment on Google Chrome Warning Issued For All Windows Users 4 months ago:
EU fined the sh1t out of them, and somebody in the regulatory body at the time realized that was not enough. So they were ordered to present the user with a choice of a browser during the OS install.
What I really want to know is why and how it went away.
