Well, this shouldn't need saying. I really worry about humanity when I see things like this.

Yes.

It's impossible to argue against this and it a good explanation of why god doesn't exist. If it created us to be the master species, why did it make us so selfish and irresponsible as a whole? "I have created people to destroy this planet in a relatively short period of time. Not one of my best ideas, but I've had enough, really."

I was born autistic, so how did I get vaccinated before I was born ?

Strange that someone so small plays basketball so well.

Nicely put!

A major study published this week estimated 1.2 million deaths last year from drug-resistant infections. That's more than malaria or AIDS and it's only getting worse.

Drives me nuts when people complain about scary "chemicals" or "toxins", but are completely unable to say exactly which chemical is bad or why. Or assume anything with a long scientific name is bad. Just consider the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, it causes thousands of deaths and millions in property damage, but that doesn't mean we should ban it.

This. February 2020 to January 2022, for example. New/more data means you change conclusions. If it's science.

Would nanobots that target cancerous cells effectively be a cure, though?

They're so cute!

Just 100 corporations are responsible for 71% of global emissions. So stop blaming the population. Start with the 100 corps. https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/jul/10/100-fossil-fuel-companies-investors-responsible-71-global-emissions-cdp-study-climate-change

Less than 10 percent will ever wake up at all. If you have to do CPR and the person still dies, you didn't do anything wrong. Do not feel any guilt.

This is so cool. I must have swallowed gallons in my youth and I'm ok. At least, I think I am ;)

Ooh that's next level nerd!

Yes! It's just a few people every year that gets killed by a shark, humans on the other hand kill lots of sharks all the time. They are of utterly importance to the oceans!

This should be #1. The biggest problem in science is biases because it cripples growth. The Earth remained the center of the universe for 1000s of years longer than it should because we knew that it was true. Millions of women die unnecessarily every year from heart attacks because the entire detection and treatment regime was developed on men. Contextual biases like racial profiling have dramatically affected the African American community's treatment options for chronic diseases. Way too much psychological theory is all based on first world1 8-22 year old college students who, unsurprisingly, do not reflect the overall psychological spectrum of our planet. How many of us can say our own psyche worked the same at 8, 18, 38, and 88? Outright racism gave Hitler proof the Jews were inferior.

100%. I don't know a single domestic cat who's ever been responsible for a wind farm.

That's why it is a really bad idea to build houses on flood plains.

many research scientists have autism. Some research scientists work in health. Therefore, autism causes vaccines.

Well this just seems obvious

Say it louder

If it's freely chosen, I agree, but it's so tightly bound up with human trafficking, modern slavery, drugs and other abuse that it's hard for many of us to think about in isolation.

I think she's saying that there will never be a single cure for cancer (hence the ".." around cure), not that we'll never be able to cure all cancers.

Again . . . birth control would reverse this cycle. Human answer to just about everything is MORE MORE MORE, and supply will NEVER keep up . . .

I work in a hospital lab, we run 24/7 to get results for patients. We get almost no recognition despite how qualified and hard we all work. Hospitals would not be able to operate without us, unless you just want to guess how sick people actually are. Same goes for pharmacy

This is why the US practice of 8 weeks of maternity leave is so damaging. I firmly believe that one parent needs to stay with kids until they're old enough for school, and it doesn't matter which parent. The fact that families now need two full-time incomes to survive is proof that capitalism is deadly to a healthy society.

The material world needs science to comprehend it. Religion tries to understand our complex sense of self and is not nor should it be focussed on material things.

But the T. Rex recognizes the stegosaurus as a meal for a week

20k sexes? That's why they're...fun guys! I'll get my coat.

Diatoms are so cool.

Most importantly, our relationship with ourselves

There is a whole industry about this for years. From how we can learn how to compute like a cell to collecting water like a beetle

This should be higher

I really wish there is a way to report trollers like @DillonHughes

And if you do find on in your space, try relocation rather than smashing. If you want your house to thrive, Let the spider run alive.

If huge amounts of population speak a single language then those who want more opportunity in communities will inevitably have to speak that language. Success is about reaching a lot of people to take an interest in your product or Service, that's just basic.

This one should be much higher!

Wish people saw this slow-rolling disaster for what it was.

And measles.

Hmm, they're the current creatures mostly closely related to dinosaurs, you mean.

"Baby Sign Language" is a thing many parents of hearing children teach their babies to facilitate early communication and is thought to HELP with spoken language development. I can't understand why parents of deaf children would deny their children a useful communication tool like sign language.

Microplastics are an issue. There is still emerging research on how it affects our biome

As someone who is alive because of surgery and whose sister and parents are also alive because of the same, this makes me rage, it is so unfair.

The fact that we still think social classes affect whether a person matters or not does not say anything good about the general populations intellect.

True, and yet so many seem to reject the lived personal reality of emotions and beliefs that dictate so much of what humans do and are!

When wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone national park, revenues from fishing went up. Wolves ate deers, allowing more trees and shrubberies to grow, reducing erosion, leading to cleaner water in rivers and streams, increasing fish populations leading to more recreational fishing with more licenses and gear sold.

Uh, wouldn't all psychological things be connected to brain mechanisms?

This has to be much higher!

No idea what the animal in the photo is, could another Panda please tell me?

Without bacteria, when we are children our immune systems won't develope as well. They need to be introduced to it in order to develope. Of course not the awful ones. But basic environmental stuff that is non-harmful, but we come across in everyday life. When I was born I spent 48 days in an incubator and didn't go home until I was 3 months old. In the nursery that long. When I got home my Mom didn't sterilize by bottles, just washed well in dishsoap and rinsed well in very hot water. My grandmother went ballistic. Mom said "She's just spent 3 months in the nursery. She wouldn't know what to do with a germ if she came across one. Her body has to learn that.". Said back in the mid 50's and since proven scientifically correct. Science has shown that antibacterial soaps aren't doing kids any favors.

Oh how true! Not just the immune system effects. It not only can make you nauseous, but the cells of your digestive system are the fastest replicating cells in your body. Mouth sores that make it not only difficult to eat, but also drink and talk. Anemia and need for transfusions. Get too much of a certain kind of chemo, you can lose your hearing. Until we can develope targeted therapies, chemo isn't picky about what cells it will go after. Even healthy ones.

If you destroy all religious texts and all scientific texts, eventually, all the scientific texts will be recreated. But the religious texts might never come back at all, because they cannot be proven through trial and error.

I think I read somewhere that Vets suffer a high suicide rate. Love your vet. We would be screwed without them.

Can mankind go extinct, please? Surely no-one will miss those sods.
