maquise , in This Is The best way to set up the internet on Mars?

So, how serious are we about living on Mars at this point?

Devi , in Sumatran orangutan in Indonesia has self-medicated using a paste made from plants to heal a large wound on his cheek, say scientists

Zoos have known this for a long while, this study from London zoo went into it in 2006, and look at the sources going back into the 90's.

It's cool that this new study has come out, but this isn't news really.

If this isn't an SCP, it definitely should be. That being said I've never experienced this and I spent an awful lot of time wandering in the wildernesses in Monterey.

If you hear your name called while collecting samples in [redacted] Forest, ND, DO NOT respond. Calmly walk back to your vehicle and radio for support. An extraction team will be at your location shortly to remove you from the gaze of [redacted].

Oh no. Did you say ND? 👀

some_guy , in Elite researchers in China say they had ‘no choice’ but to commit misconduct

What truly sucks about misaligned incentives in any environment is the impediment to science overall when people chase bad results trying to replicate false results.

LibertyLizard , in 6,000 years ago, men and women -and those migrated from other locations- had equal access to resources, research finds

Very interesting! I am curious how modern populations would show up if tested by this method.

Tai , in Microplastics found in every human testicle in study

Whew, I i sure am glad I didnt take part in that study then huh

I think maybe you did, and so did I. "Every human testicle." Question is: when did they sneakily test everyone's testicles?

Radiant_sir_radiant , in Harassment of scientists is surging — institutions aren’t sure how to help

Seriously, health departments around the world should have offered a fourth Covid certificate during the pandemy - tested, vaccinated, recovered and "will irrevocably forego any right to treatment in a hospital in case of infection". That way all the tinfoil hats couldn't have spread their 'dictatorship' bullshit nearly as easily, because hey, all you have to do in order to be able to go to the pub is to absolve society of the risk of you catching an absolutely harmless and possibly even imaginary cold.
Let a few thousand of those fuckers die and at the same time keep the hospital beds free for those who need them through no fault of their own. Watch the survivors crap their pants and mumble something about science maybe not being so bad after all.

The problem is that some people consider stupidity to be a virtue. That's their right (sadly), but they shouldn't be able to make society suffer the consequences.

eveninghere , in Harassment of scientists is surging — institutions aren’t sure how to help

The governments are abusing researchers. How do institutions even help them?

Cybermonk_Taiji , in “Nothing” doesn’t exist. Instead, there is “quantum foam”

Nothing not existing is like its whole identity.

AmidFuror , in An amazing footage was captured during a Total solar eclipse

I came to complain about the headline (An amazing footage). Then I read part of the article. Holy balls that's bad writing.

SteposVenzny , in Physics confirms that the enemy of your enemy is, indeed, your friend

That last paragraph is wild. Why would you even try to apply social dynamics to drug compatibility?

hayalci , in Ancient Graves Found in Gaza Strip

News from September 2023, rehashed with a current date

doom_and_gloom , in Why do people hear their names being called in the woods?
@doom_and_gloom@lemmy.ml avatar

Because our brains are pattern recognition machines.

Fun article, although I wish it had gone a bit deeper.

averyminya , in The brain makes a lot of waste. Now scientists think they know where it goes

This just in: brain sleeve found filled with microplastics preventing washed amyloid fluid from draining.

Seriously though, this seems like a significant discovery!

sparkle , (edited ) in Wild chimpanzees eat plants that have pain-relieving and anti-bacterial properties to heal themselves, according to scientists
@sparkle@lemm.ee avatar

Chimpanzees are likely going to be extinct 2-3 decades from now. Bonobos will be extinct in 4-6 decades. Orangutans will go extinct within 10 to 20 years. Most animals closely related to humans (including most apes & monkeys) are projected to become extinct within a few decades. I do not want to be alive when gorillas go extinct

This is mostly due to the meat trade (apes and monkeys are often killed for meat which is eaten by locals or traded), being affected by the wars in the Congo/Africa, being kidnapped & sold as exotic pets, and habitat loss from human resource harvesting/logging & development. Humans are effectively displacing, enslaving, slaughtering, and cannibalizing their distant cousins
