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)

I wish more people understood that EVERYTHING is chemistry.

[–] PatTheBunny@midwest.social 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Even love?

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Especially group sex

with 44 men, so an orgy.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's gay.

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

Gay chemistry!

Homosexual alchemy

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?

[–] teolan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

No, Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

And all of chemistry is just physics.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What about consciousness?

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Truly the strangest epiphenomenon we're all aware of

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Exactly!

Is self awareness of information processing and filtering.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Well, except for nuclear physics...
