I listened to this radio show about scientists who found vole bones in a Stone Age era cave, and they wanted to know if early humans had eaten them, so they got a volunteer to swallow an entire boiled vole without chewing, so that they could analyze the bones afterward and see if human digestive acid caused damage they could match. anyway, this poor volunteer shat out the digested vole, they looked at the bones, and it was not a match. ancient humans did not eat that particular old dead vole. really glad that they made someone swallow a vole owl-style though, there’s no way one of those goes down like an Advil. and boiled?? yeghhhh

#science #HUH #i would love to see a source for this. preferably a publication #but also why did it have to be swallowed whole...?#voles are bigger than mice that would not be easy #and what does 'whole' mean here? skull included? there isnt a lot of meat on a skull why would you do that #i can believe this happened in theory but again would love to see a source

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws

#head in hands. yeah thats what it feels like for sure

As a scientist I find the concept of Cecil freely yapping about Carlos on the radio so funny because if I was in the lab just going about my experiments and then some person on the radio started talking about how hot I am I would get clowned on it by my coworkers beyond belief. Every time I walked into the lab the grad students there would’ve been like “there he is with his perfect hair 😩” and if the centrifuge broke “try asking it to work with your sweet caramel voice 😫” like deadass the lab would be insufferable for months

#welcome to night vale #most unrealistic part of carlos' science career: labmember shenanigans are almost never mentioned

is it worth it?

yes!!

the side effect is bad but ITS WORTH IT

meh it's okay

the side effect makes it unusable/not worth it

for the record im not technially 100% anti-AI, in the sense that its a broad category of tech being lumped under one umbrella term so it feels over-zealous to say i hate all of it all the time forever. but i also think trying to discuss what it actually IS good for is difficult right now when i cant take one step without something trying to convince me to use chatgpt to summarize my life and speed up my hobbies and turn my friends into chatbots and optimize my life into oblivion. i am certain there is nuance to the topic but can we stop cramming the square peg into the round hole before you start trying to sell me on the legitimate benefits of the square peg. please.
