It is white when seen from space. Here on Earth, the atmosphere disperses the blue part of the spectrum so that the blue sunlight comes to our eyes from all directions, making the sky blue. Without the blue light, the sun appears more yellow. So the color depends on your point of view :)

If you need to fart very often, you may need to change your diet. Look up food that causes gas and try to watch your body after you eat it to find out what makes you fart and what's ok.

So if I understand correctly, the study suggests the driving factor might well be longing for social dominance and sociopathic traits and not necessarily sexual frustration.

So both the engineers and everyone in the comments is just saying they hate/like the look of it? That's the last important part. As I understand it, the Cybertruck is never going to be allowed to the roads in Europe because of how unsafe it is. That's what people should be interested in. Looks can be pleasing to some and ugly to others and that's ok.

I hate this kind of titles that try hard to make science sound esoteric. Science is exciting enough by itself!

Mitochondria (the famous powerhouse of the cell) is a symbiotic bacteria that became so entangled with our cell that neither can now live without the other. Sorry to everyone who knows, in some regions this is not common knowledge. Knowing this makes your life immensely better because it's such a cool fact.

Perhaps they value different things in life. Everyone is not the same, what works for you won't work for everyone. There are people who enjoy having responsibility. Having children, being a manager and doing charity work feels fulfilling to them.

Well, maybe it's just that everytime she's around men, they do think about sex. There's no way for her to have a different experience.

Neurodivergent people are not a homogenous group. You can be neurodivergent in different ways and it influences communication in different ways. It is improbable that one of the neurodivergent subgroups is frequent enough to turn out to be an overall majority. But you're not talking about majority, so what portion of the population would it have to be?

This is more complicated, as is often the case. The phytoestrogen in soy does have similar effects on people as human estrogen, and the effects can be rather positive (regulation of weight and better insuline sensitivity). Source here.

The same review mentions potencial negative effects and concerns: "In adult male rats, exposure to dietary soy decreased androgen levels and prostate weight." and "In humans, the use of soy or purified phytoestrogens in women at high risk of, or diagnosed with, breast cancer as well as in infants fed with soy-based formula are legitimate areas of concern."

Both beneficial and adverse effects of soy seem to be understudied. For more information about soy phytoestrogens and both male and female fertility, check out this article.

News about what the head of the Catholic church does is as important as news about what the head of USA, China or Russia does. It's hugely influencial even when it comes to lives of non-catholics, non-americans, non-chinese... because of the massive number of people that belong to the religion or state and the power that religion or state has. It's a good thing the pope talks against fossil fuel companies, because his influence is big.

As I see it, people keep developing mental constructs to make the experience of their own existence feel more meaningful, more important and potencially eternal, because the thought of insignificance and eventual death is just too scary.

Slovakia's taking their spot.

Cloaks can have pockets! Everything should have pockets!

Lemmy.world has been pretty stable recently.

No amount of coolness can ever beat the cute animals.

For reasons of trying to make it stricter, less toothless.

Seeing all these "Intelligence sucks" comments makes me realize the anti-science movement is natural and inevitable. We're doomed.

In case the reincarnations go on forever, then yes, I think the best life is inevitable. I'm amazed. I've thought about this concept in the past, but I always imagined the negative consequences - everyone would have to experience the very worst suffering there is. The fact that you took it from the positive side is mindblowing to me. Good for you!

The emoji standard is bright yellow though, not peach or white.

It is ok to communicate. It's actually better than isolating yourself in your depression. You're scrolling and commenting too, and thats alright.

In monarchy, the ruling family is the one capable of defeating other candidates - sociopatic traits win again.

Came for the slang, stayed for the music!

I'm old enough to remember people actually using it for heating at home!

These are not the only options. If the representatives don't respect results of democratic vote, organize and go to the streets, protest, don't let them think you don't care!

That's probably an artefact of the electron microscopy preparation. Irl they're translucent and they're even cuter when they move: https://www.shutterstock.com/cs/video/clip-1039663166-tardigrade-high-quality-footage-video-water-bear

It's true that doing sit-ups won't help you target your belly fat, but it does make your abdominal muscles stronger and more able to keep your belly from protruding, so in effect it can make your belly look much flatter even without losing the fat.

The fact that the animal was brought by people somewhere it doesn't belong doesn't mean it can't inspire an aww. It's just one more bad thing about people, not about the animal.

So it's proven just for men. Wonder what it would be like if they studied women too. Thanks for tldr!

It IS shaking my head.

Continents rearrange themselves very slowly. The change will be gradual. There's no reason to think that life, including mammals, will not evolve during that time to cope with the change.

Azbuka, name of the cirillic script, also comes from the old names of the first two letters.

Not everyone in this comment section uses correct nomenclature. It would be preferable for those bugged by it to use empathy to understand the true meaning of the comments (or, if impossible, to ask politely about the meaning) and to correct the mistakes in a nice way, avoiding the urge to take the wrong words litterally - that doesn't add to the discussion.

That is a very round bird.

Why do you think nicotine is not very addictive? I saw several studies that called it a highly addictive substance (for example this review about e-cigarettes). By the way, the review is overall very interesting and worth reading.

Why not? This is also a genuine question. What is puzzling you about girls wearing leggings? Are you wondering why they don't wear jeans or some other kind of pants instead? If yes, the answer might be: a) fashion changes all the time and this is in now and b) leggings are usually made of very stretchy fabrics, which makes them much more comfortable than form-fitting trousers made of more traditional textiles.

I understand it depends on the definition, but I feel like using the word robot for something created from living cells is a bit of a stretch.

The undiplomatic straightforwardness you describe makes me think your empathy might be severely limited, which is sometimes looked at as a defining aspect of psychopathy. Have you heard about this guy? It's a great story.

My 2 cents: try to become a moderator of discussions for a while. People are talking? Instead of contributing, try to watch them. Are there People who contribute more/less? Does someone have problems to get their turn? Do they understand each other? Try to make space for those that need it. By the end of the discussion, if there was something really important to the topic that noone mentioned, say it. This approach helped me a lot to become more aware of the multiple people conversation dynamics and in the end helped me with dialogs as well.
