See you think I'm a redditor joking.

Do you realize that for any of our biology to make any sense at all there must have been some interaction between Africa and South America about 60 million years ago and the best way to explain it so far is catastrophic flooding so bad it took breeding populations of monkeys and cats to South America? And you don't believe in asinine theories based on cataclysmic events?

>count burning for fuel as recycling,
This solves the vast majority.
Food waste composted.
Burnable burned.
Metals remelted.
Really leaves glass and ceramic as the waste. Glass is recyclable but not worth the effort and ceramic has use only as aggregrate such as potshard wall filling used by Romans.

There's an open source nerd with an electrolysis ion exchange membrane hydrochloric acid system for dissolving metals from crushed ore or electronics waste and the solution can be selectively electroplated into metal powder by each element. Would be useful as an metal recycler for valuable trace metals.

This puzzle was published in the Harvard Review of Philosophy in 1996 by George Boolos and is considered the hardest logic riddle of all time. Seeing as logic is central to mathematics and reason, can /sci/ figure it out? Or is this bord simply full of brainlets?

>Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter.
>Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god.
>The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.
>You may ask the same god more than one of the questions.

You are correct on all counts. Dimensional analysis doesn't give a fuck about details like orientation. It's *only* about the units involved.

>we engineer what has been called a bodyoid: brainless animal bodies that provide as much meat as we desire without harming any sentient beings
>this would transform medicine - the same platform would allow us to grow organs on demand, eliminate transplant waiting lists, and produce perfectly matched tissues for each patient
>experimental therapies could be tested on full biological systems without involving conscious animals, regenerative medicine would accelerate as entire replacement tissues become manufacturable
>in the same way that agriculture turned food from a scarce resource into an abundant one, engineered bodyoids would turn biological material into infrastructure - meat without slaughter, organs without donors, and medical research without sentient suffering
Why are doctors and scientists such pussies? I bet you could pluck a German or american doctor from the 50s and give him 2026 technology and he would be able to grow bodyoids and become rich.

They could both be performing tricks in different ways. One is an impressive bombasitic display, but the other (once perfected) is simply on a whole other level. Perhaps some merging of both approaches would be best, but it could heighten a feeling of obsolescence among the general populace, which may not be entirely desirable.
