How does science explain the fact that from all of the species only mammals can smile or show facial expressions

Mammals are the only ones with complex enough muscles in the lips. There’s only like one or two reptiles capable of moving their lips to expose their teeth

biased observation: we don't know that for sure. Just because we can't detect or see them that doesn't imply other animals do not notice and communicate with micro-expressions.

Does fine tuning imply multiverses with different physics?

The second option is just more probable than winning the cosmic lottery with 1 single draw.
>>
>>16143061
Depends on your definition of a multiverse. If every other universe is "identical" to ours then no, all physics would still be the same. However, if every universe is "all encompassing" then yes, there will be "infinite" universes in which there will be an "infinite" amount of different variations of physics.

>>16144273
The existence of simulators/creators still begs for explanations. You need special pleading to ignore that. Boltzmann brains are formed randomly so there's still a question of "Why this? And why does it persist?" And you're back to some version of anthropic principle again.

Why? If this universe was not 'fine-tuned' then you wouldn't be making this post. But here we are, so it must be.

or the ruse of chronic inflamatory diseases, which are mostly declared as :
>autoimmune disease
Which is like "Dark matter" of medicine.

Here.
the studies that look at incidence of autoimunity, do not count the "diagnosis term or ICD-10 code", but also the clinical manifestation which in the past had different diagnosis but the same symptoms.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/294419057_The_World_Incidence_and_Prevalence_of_Autoimmune_Diseases_is_Increasing

Could it be because we "interfere with immunity" with substances that agitate the immunesystem?

"net % increased /year incidence and prevalence of autoimmune diseases worldwide were 19.1±43.1 and 12.5±7.9, respectively. Rheumatic, endocrinological, gastrointestinal and neurological autoimmune diseases revealed the following annual % increases per year: 7.1, 6.3, 6.2, and 3.7, respectively. In all of these, differences between old vs new frequencies were highly significant (p < 0.0001). Comparing various autoimmune diseases, celiac disease increased the most and the highest increase in incidence, comparing old to new surveys is allocated to myasthenia gravis. Despite considerable variations between the countries, celiac, type 1 diabetes and myasthenia gravis frequencies increased the most in Canada, Israel and Denmark, respectively. Frequencies of the autoimmune diseases increased significantly in the West and North when compared to East and South, respectively."
And apparently it's now totally normal that children have "rheumatic athritis" with 0-14 years.

Now before you post derogatory comments about picrel consider the following question: what is even the goal of nutritional science, education and policy?

The answer is not self-evident. Picrel is an example of people who are seemingly long-lived, happy and healthy (even with rotten teeth) just by pounding some plants, squeezing some oil and simmering the paste with an animal in a pot. How much more health, happiness and longevity has nutritional science brought us after a century of sperging out about detailed biochemical mechanisms and vague epidemiology? Here's a groundbreaking idea: nutritional science is a symptom of the modern age' neurotic desire to manage everything to death.

Every bit of food left out in the heat is bacteria riddled. All of it. Overcooked until its destroyed the nutritional values and now resembles diarrhea. Lazy. Boiling veggies for hours. Fist full of spices, tastes like garbage, ZERO THOUGHT. Indian cuisine is Trash, they dont even try....just half-assed tosses like their some performer.

Ugh, never again. Like Laos its a country who's very culture they admire is the very one that makes them sub-human.

Firstly, there are three women, not two. Secondly, you know that one of them is 100% into you, but you do not know which one. Maybe you're meeting a blind date who is as into your obscure weird fetish as you are but stupidly forgot to agree on a token of recognition in your eagerness to meet. You also know that any other women will be repulsed by your sick fetish. If you broach the subject of your fetish with someone who is not into it, she will kick you in the balls, neutering you, and subsequently have you arrested, ruining any chance you have of getting laid. However, you have no other way of ascertaining her identity. With nothing to go on, you strike up a conversation with a random woman Whilst she is your captive audience, another woman gets up and leaves. You know this cannot be the woman you were intending to meet; she will never meet another man as sick as you. One other woman that you didn't talk to is still waiting by the bar.

So, do you bring up your fetish to the woman you're talking to? Or do you go to the woman by the bar and apologise for the confusion? What if there were four women in the bar, and two of them left, besides one by the bar and the one you're awkwardly making small talk with? What if there were five, and three of them left over the course of the evening? What if there were fifty women at first and at the end of the night there's just two left, the one you're talking to, and another who's been sitting by herself all evening?

Yeah that's the Monty Hall Problem alright but I'm just pointing out how absurd it is that the success probability of a group concentrates into one choice once the rest have been eliminated. Isn't that the standard reasoning behind switching?
>>
>>16143978
It only happens when there is a specific reason for it. Probability is not an inherent property something possesses, but an expression of our relative certainty about it. So as women leave the bar, it becomes more likely that the ones who stay behind have an interest in you.

Medical science isnt real. Its demons all the way down. Yk mental illnesses connect you to other realms:

Autism: spams you with information from all realms. Sometimes makes brain better at handling information.

OCD: serves your brain things that could have happened (related dimension). The brain wrongfully thinks this will happen if you dont do something.

Shizophrenia: positive: false truths recieved from different dimensions negative: energy sucked into those dimensions

Bipolar: alternation between recieving energy from place 7 and getting it taken away from place 4. more on places on /x/ soon.

So anyway there are 2 types of "medication":

T1: every demon gets in and starves after a certain amount of time

T2: the first demon you eat while not having that demon-species in you gets in, the others get tpd back. The demon eats the now empty "meds" (T2s contain food for the journey) if youre still trying to eat "meds" and if you stop he starves.

There are multiple demon types (that each have many species!) that belong in the "meds" catagory:

Anti psychotics: (T2)
The demon tries to block the connection using magic which has many side effects
