Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groups (www.tandfonline.com)

Amino acids are amino acids. Some are harder to get from plants than others.

I wish more people understood that EVERYTHING is chemistry.

[–] PatTheBunny@midwest.social 7 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Even love?

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Especially group sex

with 44 men, so an orgy.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's gay.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gay chemistry!

Homosexual alchemy

No, watt is love, so love is energy over time, not chemistry.

No, Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Of course! Even love! Just mix a dash of dopamine, a sprinkle of serotonin, a shot of oxytocin, and a hint of norepinephrine. Shake well in a nervous system, serve warm, and call it love!

Would you like a side of pheromones with that?

And all of chemistry is just physics.

What about consciousness?

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Truly the strangest epiphenomenon we're all aware of

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Or is it an epiphenomenon... No one can tell IMO.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're certainly not wrong! To me, it seems that consciousness is just what it is to be the kind of machines that we are, and also why sentience/consciousness is so impossible for the sort of synthetic 'AI's we have that currently exist. But how could we ever really tell? Hard to know what evidence would ever be convincing either way!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Exactly!

Is self awareness of information processing and filtering.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Well, except for nuclear physics...
