Like, we’ll probably find out that eating boogers actually makes you immune to select illnesses or something crazy like that.
Causal relationship between social media and degradation of basic critical thinking skills. Not just tiktok, anything in which people are primarily communicating asynchronously and has a “reward” (likes, upvotes, etc)
So Reddit/Lemmy for sure included
Casually closes this app, knowing I will be back in half an hour
nice, have an upvote.
I think a major issue is that nobody checks sources. Earlier, when everybody watched the news or read papers, sources were more reputable (not infallible for sure). Now any random creator can sway your opinion without that reputability. Pretty inherent to the internet as algorithms decentralise everybody into their own corner.
That agrees with my preconceived biases, for sure.
Beyond that, I think it’s possible that the “sting” of negative reactions, or the perceived lack of positive reactions my possibly shape how people think.
And, you can buy that kind of engagement in bulk if you have money. You can train people to engage in different thought patterns buy buying upvotes (buying them dopamine), that would be my hypothesis.
If that’s true, I think the inherent danger from a sociological standpoint could not possibly be understated.
Solid proof that the source of all life on this planet actually began on a different world. The critical components came here via a comet or even an spacecraft that inadvertently dropped it off. Should screw with a lot of ideals
“Scientists find proof that the hand of God created all life on Earth.”
Solid proof of God? Yeah that would change things
I was referring to how it would be spun if life was proven to have come from an extra terrestrial source.
You still have to come up with the explanation of what started life in the first place!
This is always my reaction to this theory as well. If someone asks “How did life on Earth start?”, surely we can assume they actually mean “How did life start?”
It’s like if a kid saw a baby, and asks their parents “Where do babies come from?”, and their reply is “Oh that baby lives next door, it came from that house”.
Id expand on this. I think the entire solar system has microbial life. Every crack it can exist it will. Asteroids, comets, the gas giants. Its likely all related too. Itd be mostly underground tho and hard to find. Probably multicellular life in some cases too like ice moons, and underground on mars in cave systems.
Still better than the alternative: solid proof that we are in fact alone in the universe
Not only is that unprovable, it seems highly unlikely.
I thought we had evidence that life was seeded from off world? don’t have sources right now but i remember coming by an article explaining that.
Want that the story about the teen aged alien that came here to jack off?
no, a asteroid from space came with the seeds of life that helped kick-start it.
Lol I know.
likewise, alien life probably even if just microbial would throw a monkeywrench in a lot of folks beilef system
I’ve got a couple that roll around in my head, radiation therapy will be seen as barbaric at some point. Assuming we don’t burn ourselves off this earth in the next few years I think we’ll see some progress on this. Moderna is known for their COVID shot, however they have basically eliminated melanoma with a tailored injection. Last I looked at it, it was in it’s mid stage or something and was almost 100% effective.
radiation therapy will be seen as barbaric at some point.
We already know it’s barbaric. It’s a last resort. It kills you and the cancer, only the cancer gets the worst of it. It’s a terrible solution to the problem, only a step better than death.
Honestly most cancer therapy is like that. Chemo and radio are basically working on the fact that your body is more resilient than cancer cells so they will likely die before you do. They are not pleasant things to go through. Surgery is your best option if it’s available and that involves chopping out chunks of yourself.
There was a news story recently about a virologist who possibly cured her own stage 3 cancer using this technique. Obviously more study is needed but it looks promising!
Virologist beats cancer with one weird trick!!! Scientists HATE her!!!
I would like something proves the “interconnectedness of all things” as Douglas Adams put it……something that proves individualism is a disease or a flaw, that could be eliminated, unlocking whole earth potential.
I would settle for evidence of Gaia theory that proves if humans don’t get our shit together, Mother Earth will give someone else a chance .
Dude I’m worried that the Participatory Anthropic Universe is real.
Maybe this is all a consistent hallucination we willed into existence based on our interactions with each other
That the Big Bang is just one of many bangs
The universe was formed by the collapse of a massive star. Our massive stars make new universes. The cycle continues forever.
Hey you leave my mom out of this!
There seem to be several theories/concepts that posit this:

< enter your own “I banged your mom” joke here>
well the universe is expanding so.
Communicating with animals.
lol i wish for this one so much.
Microplastics and penile length. Seen some studies recently though lol.
I only eat macrosplastics for this very reason
If you get your wiener hot enough, you can mold it into any shape you want.
They used to use bee stings for ED, I remember seeing a post about it.
You can get any length you want if you shove enough microplastics in there.
id rather have a small penis than be full of mircoplastics
The current studies are trying to say that the microplastics are causing length to be shorter, lol.
oh…well maybe that’s why it’s looking smaller…
For me it’s not the microplastics, it’s just bad genetics lol.
yeah i think its the same for me. oh well, its what we got.
We find out we need douchebags because
ourtheir assholery emits some kind of pheromone or something that repels imperialist extraterrestrialsEdit: some series did something like this, right?
I’ll take the imperialist extraterrestrials, they’re probably gonna be easier to mobilize humans in opposition against than the terrestrial imperialists we have now.
We need douchebags already so we can feel less of a bad person while the one next to you is being an ass. Lol. Keyword: feel.

Dicks fuck assholes, chuck. You know what’d happen if dicks didn’t fuck assholes? You’d get your dicks and pussies all covered in sheeyet.
i thought you were going to go somewhere that they are required for human mating.
Was going to post this. Not very sanitary (hand washing first is required) or attractive, but it is good for your immune system in the long run. Ken Jennings, the jeopardy guy mentions it in his book.
That may actually explain why I rarely get sick. I’m having a hard time remembering a single day of this year where I was sick that wasn’t caused by things like eating uncooked foods or something else of that nature.
A consistent model for the expansion of the universe that explains the different rates observed

I consider Extended Wigners Friend Problem Experiment to be quite fascinating. This experiment has already been performed, but I expect its results to be fully understood by the masses. And I am not proffesional physicist and want to understand it better too by myself. a-quantum-experiment-suggests-theres-no-such-thing-as-objective-reality The results of this experiment call into question one or more assumptions about the existence of objective reality, freedom of choice, or locality. All three cannot exist together. But personally, I think that the second and third points have been checked a lot of times, so no matter how improbable it may seem, the first point is the most likely. But what it really means remains to be understood.
Wow that website is awful
Sorry for this website it’s not some special website, just one of many website describing the experiment. You can search in internet for better site with review of this experiment(Extended Wigners Friend Experiment).
Aspartame cures cancer, but only when ingested in soda.
Pi equals exactly 3.
The most effective, universal vaccine is based on asbestos.
Gravity + velocity: the practical applications of time travel. That or anything investigating anything to do with sentient energy because that will shit all over 99% of every religion.
I was going to go with that one, but I went with something else.
I think you have something there with the booger theory. Please do testing and report back.
i will willingly submit my boogers for science.
