I've been thinking about this lately. If we look at certain sexually dimorphic traits in female humans, especially ones that are considered sexy in girls, they're also what makes meat taste good. For example, the female body has thinner skin, lower collagen density, and even a less rigid collagen bond structure. That's responsible for the soft body quality in attractive girls, and it also makes meat more tender and delicious. Women also have less muscle (therefore less tough meat) than men and a higher normal body fat percent range. Less of that fat is visceral fat which would just be gross excess fat that doesn't help the quality of the meat and more subcutaneous fat and intramuscular fat. In particular, intramuscular fat is the source of marbling, which results in juicier, more tender meat. Girls also have more fat concentrated in the breasts, thighs, and butt, which are both sexual points of interest in the female body and the main body parts that would be eaten for meat. Looking at diets, (stereotypes and reality) girls eat more plants (fruits and veggies), carbs, and sweets and less meat compared to guys, which is the exact diet that makes animals taste better. It just seems that biologically and culturally, feminine means tasty.I wonder if anyone else explored this question. This is the only thing I found.https://kirstenkoza.com/scoop-scandal/contemplating-cannibalism-male-female-meat-tastier/The conclusion is that while female animals taste better than male animals, it's because of the male scent gland which humans don't have, but I find that answer unsatisfactory because of the traits above. And humans do have scent glands, don't they? Like the apocrine sweat gland? Science shows that male body odor is stronger and more unpleasant than female body odor. If you look at practices of cannibalism throughout history, you'll see a pattern of female flesh being more prized than male flesh, so there must be some truth in it being tastier. Does this make sense?

>>16988991No.Cocks have really tough meat but pussy tastes the same as rabbit.
>>16987675You mean the chemical properties of testosterone (not just how it changes the body) affects the flavor of the meat? How does that work?
>>16985040intriguing, curious to know if that means Male to Female transgender individuals would inhibit that trait? The trait being tender and/or delicious meat, given that they grow breasts and get their fats redistributed in feminine areas like the buttocks and thighs as a result of estrogen.
If there was an alien civilization equally advanced as us outside of the Solar System or our galaxy, how difficult would it be for them to realize our planet holds life? I mean, i imagine Earth is pretty special and must pique interest of intelligent aliens. And i know that because of the distance it's not possible to see objects far away in their current state but how it looked like in the far past, but still, our planet was teeming with life from pretty early on in it's existance.
>>16991976>outside of the Solar System"This planet may have or had water">or our galaxy"It's possible there's a planet just like ours out there, purely based on chance"
>>16991976>is pretty specialMy thoughts are that we aren't special at all, there are plenty of planets in the universe just like ours that support life. So aliens have no reason to visit us because there is life closer to them
>>16991976any civilization that achieves technological advances inevitably dedicates massive resources to star mapping. as its AI continually scans for planets and bodies, it eventually notices that our solar system has a planet where its moon has an almost apparent perfectly congruent solar eclipse.the AI flags this to the other civilization as an unusal coincidence, and they eventually notice that we have life.
>>16991976We can, right now, create a gravity telescope by using the natural curve of light around the sun, effectively making the sun into a telescope. We would need to place the viewing point somewhere about 15x further than the distance past Pluto but a solar sail could get there is 30 years. The resolution would be crazy. We would have 2 km pixel resolution. We would be able to map continents and watch seasons change on exoplanets. All with technology we possess now.
>>16993452Agrees with trepidation. We have already mapped some 15,000 solar systems and how many are like ours. 1, ours. This strange clockwork precision of a stable solar system seems to be insanely impossible. Solar systems are chaotic, full of large gas giants or none at all. A solar system seems incapable of possessing both gas giants and rocky planets at once because the gas giants toss the smaller planets out. Our gas giants saved us from annihilation by comets and meteors. If life like ours exists it must be under tremendously different circumstances.
Why is the sun getting brighter?
>>16993150Because>it studies every day.
>>16993019Repeatedly taking IQ tests.
>>16993019Inside the sun hydrogen fuses into helium which is denser. That denser helium falls into the core because of gravity which grows bigger and speeds up the process. More gravity = more fusion. More and more helium fusion makes the sun grow brighter over time.When the core gets heavy enough it allows fusion of 3 helium into carbon. Then heavier stars fuse carbon into oxygen and nitrogen called the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle then on to silicon and finally iron. Once it starts fusing iron the star collapses and explodes because iron fusion consumes more energy than it emits. The explosion happens because gravity pushing down into the core has no radiation pressure from energy being emitted through fusion which causes all the hydrogen and helium in the outer shell of the star to fall into the core, bounce off, and shred the star on its way out. The blast can either:leave behind the core as a white dwarf or neutron startear the entire star into shreds leaving nothingfall into a black holeDepending on conditions and mass of the star when it dies.

I have decided to create my own version of Langton's ant, called Steven's car. My name is Steven. Langton's ant is the thing to study for men of high IQs. Steven's car is the thing to study for men of even higher IQs. For such people mensa is like a special school for retards. For those of high IQs, you can understand Steven's car as following the rule RRLRLLULRURRLNNL, this creates behavior one can truly ponder upon. I have also decided to listen to only the best of music, called classical, the best music for men of high IQs. (Do not use IQ's, it is grammatically incorrect, and shows you off as a MORON.) The best of classical is Mozart, Beethoven, but most of all Bach (no Glenn Gould). Only people with an IQ higher than 160 should be allowed to vote. Why should people with low IQs be allowed to make such decisions? They cannot even understand an iota of politics. We need a neurocracy, where the greats will study and ponder the sciences and politics, and those of lesser minds, who we call retards (IQ less than 120), will be sterilised.But with AI, IQ can be as high as we want. A man with 180 IQ will have an IQ of well over 200 with AI. Exams in elementary school will consist of an IQ test. Over 160 allows the right to vote. Over 140 allows all human rights except voting. Over 120 allows limited rights, but will be controlled, due to dumbness. Under 120 will be sterilized. Below 100 will be euthanized. We cannot let society be dragged down. Langton's ant is on the march, will you follow? Do not read the fantasy book called the Bible. We can make real gods with AI. Yet we see those baseball players get paid millions yet they are retards with CTE, and real scientists with high IQs get nothing. The scientists should be getting billions, and ruling in a neurocracy. Policies will be based on science, not votes. A true scientist does not bother with endless small talk from the retards, he pushes ahead like Langton's ant, which is pondered upon by men of high IQs.

>>16995478It's fascinating actually. I studied the theory long time ago. Why not let workers reproduce? At first it seems counterproductive to have this weak spot which is the queen, and even more so when you realize that there's some work involved in the maintenance of this.In the end it's similar to how almost all multicellular life goes through an egg/seed single cell stage. The alternative is to split the grown organism. But going through a single cell confers evolutionary advantages. That's why it's evolved that way.

I used to take 600 mg of these, now on 300 mg to get me to sleep. Still take nicotine and have a slight pollen allergy so you are lying. Get a little drowsy in the morning. When I was on 600 mg drug addicts would try to get them off me because it wiped them out for 24-48 hours.
That shit gonna fuck you up and give you movement disorder and tics and youll look like a retard.Its not even a question "if", literally everyone whos long term on antipsychotics will develop movement disorder similar to Parkinsons, thats why doctors who prescribe this shit for sleeping should be put into prison.
Give me a reason why you still use fluoride toothpaste.
>>16994097>Give me a reason why you still use fluoride toothpaste.It just werks
Depends who you listen to. Some say fluoride is great for teeth, and Americans generally have good teeth but it's a chemical and some scientists think it fucks with your brain.
>>16994097To absorb the lead in the water...You know thats why put it in the water right? To absorb heavy metals because its better to say the water has fluoride in it instead of telling people but the water still passes through lead pipes in certain areas.
>>16995078Reality doesn't give a shit who you listen to. Fluorine is a highly reactive element. At large doses, it is absolutely toxic and will fuck your shit up. It also bonds strongly to the calcium in your bones, forming a material that is more resistant to chemical erosion (like cavities). The goal is to introduce this element at low enough doses to not be toxic but sufficient to provide benefits.

Unless you’re specifically concerned aboutcritical issues like job security or cognitivedecline, your reaction to advancements in artificial intelligence is ultimately a humility test.If you’re excited to see how sophisticated and capable AI can possible get, you passed.If you’re malding over your skill/knowledgepotentially becoming more accessible orless relevant, you failed.Generally speaking, truly intelligent people cansee the futility of pride.

What's even the point of alien life if it's just some stupid ugly thing that's probably very difficult to understand and interact with?

In the words of physicist Anton Zeilinger:> [W]e always implicitly assume the freedom of the experimentalist... This fundamental assumption is essential to doing science. If this were not true, then, I suggest, it would make no sense at all to ask nature questions in an experiment, since then nature could determine what our questions are, and that could guide our questions such that we arrive at a false picture of nature.How is this not a form of cope? “Waaah, the observer effect isn’t le special, waaah”. Oh grow up. Observation doesn’t predate the thing - the physics leading up to it - making it even possible to begin with. How the fuck did people suddenly forget this?WHY do people think that free will is Lolsorandom?

Crispr? There is a growing trend of intelligent people picking other people based on intelligence and body type and having as many kids as possible. So you can kinda choose already but do not have 100% control.

It changes during your life. And I personally believe if you can study the questions beforehand then you can boost your score. But paper tests are very inefficient and only test a certain type of pattern recognition. Some people perform better in real world tests which aren't as popular. And there are certain ways to increase pattern recognition that cannot be applied to paper tests but that's a whole other topic.
I know this might seem like a personal and silly question, but it's a genuine one. I think everyone here knows there's a billion-dollar industry that scams people with products promising rejuvenation. The most well-known example is collagen consumption, which, as far as I know, doesn't actually make you "younger," because some articles I read had such poor sampling methodology that they were people with nutritional deficiencies, so it's obvious that any supplement would help... Anyway, is there really anything studied that's good for our skin and so on? I ask this because my aunts and cousins have already lost a lot of money because of it.

I'm trying to wrap my head around this famous thought experiment.Let me know if I'm meowing up the wrong tree:As best I can tell, Herr Schrödinger is suggesting that a radioactive atom can't be in a superposition of having decayed and not decayed, because then we'd have to accept that a cat could be in a superposition of being alive and dead, and isn't that ridiculous? Where I stumble is understanding why is this ridiculous? It's plainly contrary to common sense, but I think I can get over that, so what's the problem?
>>16993548Schrödinger must have been a diddler then, touching general areas...
>>16993504Schrodinger was making a claim that the Copenhagen interpretation is retarded.Many Physicists at the time, and today were debating the implications of the mathematical formulisms of quantum mechanics.One idea is particles have no definite properties until an "observation"Schrodinger was making a point anout the Copenhagen interpretation of a quantum system not being resolved until directly measured by a classical experiment. The cat part is only there as a meme.This is an excercise like "if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around, does it make a sound?" "If a particle decays and no one observes it, did it really decay?"
You can just open the box and look, or the cat would be panicking and scratching and making noise. It is in a box, in front of you, not millions of miles away. Just another bullshit one for the intelligent to mentally masturbate over. There are far better thought experiments. It its about atoms then it makes more sense but why can't he just say atoms?
>>16993504cats are not one particle
WOW, what horrible low IQ responses. Where to start? Half of you have no idea what an "observation" is in the dictionary let alone as far as physics is concerned. Some of you are invoking gravity as if a dead cat and living cat have different gravitational pulls aka different mass. They don't. The rest of you are babbling on about "Muh Common Sense" when all of physics is unicorn farts and fake dark matter anyways, common sense is not applicable. Schrödinger was a product of his time and had a huge ego and human failings like being too short sighted or set in his ways. Many big minds of his time failed to grasp the changing tides of physics and he thought his little joke quite clever and biting. In reality he argued against himself and will forever be remembered as the guy helped mainstream quantum physics. Now what Schrödinger failed to understand was the Quantum world would go on to imply many many deep paradoxes and questions about reality itself which to this day are still being discovered and hotly debated. Please see the Nobel Award winning research about Local Realism which also disproves Einstein's objections to quantum spooky action at a distance. See more old timers who are just wrong. Many such cases.So yes, Schrödinger is correct that the cat is in superposition inside the box unless and/or until observed. He said it ironically to make fun of the idea but the irony of the universe won and he's actually correct, despite himself. >Does a tree falling in the woods make a sound if no one is around to hear it?No, no it doesn't. >If a particle decays and no one observes it, did it really decay?No, no it doesn'tThe real "common sense" is realizing these uncomfortable and seemingly impossible things are in fact true and the reality we live in. Schrödinger is like the men in Plato's Cave chained to the ground convinced the shadows on the wall are real.https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2022/summary/
What's the ascended take to the V-tol problem, is bending the propeller the ascended take or are there better solutions out there?
>>16995020V-tol aircraft are obsolete since their primary missions can be carried out better by drones. Proper bombers can't rise vertically and proper fighters beat out anything that rises vertically. These had a niche in sort of low impact low scale missions but drones just do those better and cheaper. There's no real reason to develop these aircraft any further until you can at the very least ditch the pilot. Also those do not have "propellers" if you mean bending the exhaust then yes that's the best way to get something super heavy like this up in the air while also maintaining the ability to fly fast.
