Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

This didn't get a lot of traction when I posted it in c/podcasts: https://hexbear.net/post/6209129 Science Vs did an episode this week about this "link," and from what it looks like, it's actually a false positive due to these other studies not having access to genetic information about the mothers.

Turns out (as we've known for a long time), if you have autism or ADHD, you are VERY LIKELY to pass that on to your children, something like 70% chance to do so, and apparently women who are autistic experience more pain during pregnancy than other women, which leads to them more frequently taking Tylenol.

Listen to the podcast, or read their transcript for more information; it's only 30 minutes long. The transcript has citations.

My problem is that this is simply too much thinking required for the average American
