Look at how he dances. Clearly both at the same time.

2·9 days agoIt’s where they research calcium.
Former for me, thanks. Here’s a slightly used and soiled soul.

Tree Huggers@slrpnk.net•Toxic Skies: The Amazon is now breathing dirtier air than the world’s biggest cities
2·12 days agoLook at figure 2. While, by weight, only a fifth of the soybean is converted into oil, that’s where the absolute majority of money is made in oil. The defatted cake is a byproduct. It’s too cheap to justify planting soy.
To extract oil from soy, you need a solvent like hexane. Hexane is both toxic and expensive, so a big part of an oil extraction plant is hexane recovery and purification. Hexane boils at around 70C, so the cheapest way to recover hexane from the cake is to steam it. This also cooks the cake, browning it. The toasted cake has its proteins denatured in the process, which is terrible for their nutritional effect. But it also breaks the oligosaccharides down, which is good, because it can be deadly to animals, unlike the fattening sugars they turn into.
Key points: the cheapest way to make oil creates feed, whether it’s used or not. Instead of paying to send it to landfill, companies sell that incredibly cheap so that they avoid that cost, maybe even recoup some of the steam generation cost.
Let me put it this way: if overnight people weren’t eating oil, nobody would plant soy, because the money made selling it just for feed wouldn’t cover the costs to plant it.
Unfortunately I don’t have a scientific citation, but I do have 10 years of experience in soy processing, so… trust me bro?
Cheney said he thought it was a quail or something like that.

1·12 days agoWho is eating it? We’re drinking it. Soy is mostly grown for oil. The solids are used to enrich feed because it’s a protein rich, cheap, by-product. But there are many alternatives for feed. No one is planting soy for pasture.

3·13 days agoNot just ranching, farming too (particularly soy). With the ongoing tariff war and China’s demand for soy shifting away from the USA, this is poised to become an even bigger issue.
Another myth: the Amazon soil is rich and fertile. In reality, the forest fertilizes itself. When it is cleared, the mostly sandy soil gets depleted very fast, prompting more fires to clear new land.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.

Today I Learned (TIL)@lemmy.ca•TIL for nearly a thousand years, the ancient world’s most popular and admired comedian was Menander of Athens. Ironically, his work was lost to history until 1952, when a single play was rediscovered

Videos@lemmy.world•Radiation and Cancer: Linear No-Threshold revisited
4·19 days agoHe tries to argue that evolution would disprove radiation damage, but what is beneficial to the population can be detrimental to the individual. If you have procreated before developing cancer, you have passed on your genes, that’s an evolutionary success.
Other than that, the data showed is intriguing.
I wish the people downvoting would explain why, though.
The not subtle look at the camera to see if she’s doing the impression well…

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why the fuck is Ticketmaster allowed to be this awful?
7·20 days agoI know. I was sure the EU would stop the DuPont-Pioneer/Dow merger, or the Bayer/Monsanto merger, but alas, these two companies now control seed production for over 60% of the world.
