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
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
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.
"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.
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 is bad. We know that, its a last resort tool to fight cancer. Once we find something to finally kill cancer before getting to that stage, i hope to see no more use of such treatment.
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!
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
well the universe is expanding so.
Hey you leave my mom out of this!
The universe was formed by the collapse of a massive star. Our massive stars make new universes. The cycle continues forever.
Communicating with animals.
lol i wish for this one so much.
Microplastics and penile length. Seen some studies recently though lol.
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 ~~our~~ their assholery emits some kind of pheromone or something that repels imperialist extraterrestrials
Edit: some series did something like this, right?
i thought you were going to go somewhere that they are required for human mating.
Aspartame cures cancer, but only when ingested in soda.
Pi equals exactly 3.
The most effective, universal vaccine is based on asbestos.
