XYZ96 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 why are you guys making the thread political ... anyhow, cool thing about neaderthals, they made a kind of really really sticky glue out of birch trees to glue their spears together ... Link to post Share on other sites

Or at least, if heterosexuals are facing systemic discrimination, I'm wholly unaware of it. But soldiers as a group have nothing to do with it, and have nothing to "take" or be guilty of. It is just as false to lay blame on them, as it is to lay blame on homosexuals, and just as one sided to say that this is 100% due to transexuals. Telling soldiers, who have nothing to dow ith it, to "take that" and saying they are in a debt to another part of the population will not do anything, but create more conflict. It's about wording, if they instead had said "Soldiers can now get their privates fied due to experience from trans-operations" it would be in a much more psoitive light, rather than using words as "owe" and "take that". And it is dangerous to place a burden of debt upon other segments of the population in the name of science. As my example showed, it is unfair and it can be done to everything and everyone, and if we are to say who owes others what that is irrelevant of who is discriminated or not. Anyway, for science: You can usually look at the mental state of a person on tehir skin condition. As the skin and brain is heavily linked together, so if someone have a rough time they usually get bad skin condition. Link to post Share on other sites

XYZ96 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 This isn't so much an eye opening fact, more so a common misconception. Often I've heard people saying, the time animaltype-X (for example: reptiles) stopped being animaltype-X and started being animaltype-Y (for example: birds). The thing is however organisms don't really switch groups, once, for example, a reptile, always a reptile, so if an animal evolves directly from a reptile, even if is in no way morphologically a reptile, it's still a reptile, because organisms don't really drop labels, they collect them. (this is a/the reason birds are dinosaurs and reptiles for example...) On a very different subject, I've heard said before that humans aren't all that impressive physically, like we aren't as fast as a cheetah, or as tall as a giraffe or have as sharp of teeth as any number of animals, bla bla bla, but humans are actually a incredibly fascinating creatures physically, build for running, though not in the way that cheetahs are. Cheetahs are build for sprinting really fast for short periods of time, humans are build for running for long periods of time. There's even a tribe somewhere in Africa who hunts by out running their prey, not with speed but with stamina, cool right .. actually so much of our physic is explainable by the fact that we walk up right and are build for walking/running long distances, must of the visible differences between humans and, for example, chimpanzees comes right down to humans walk up right, chimpanzees don't. Spoiler - Human spines connect "under" the skull, chimpanzees spines connect "behind --> this allows humans to look forward when walking up right - Humans have small shoulder bones --> due to needing less muscle around the shoulder and upper back, chimpanzees walk on four legs, therefore need more muscle there - Humans have "X" shaped legs versus the "O" of chimpanzees - human pelvic bones are changed in such a way to better connect legs for walking up right and supporting the upper body and stuff, unfortunately this has led to humans having a harder time then most animals in giving birth... - and everything about the feet, except maybe the little toe, that's kinda useless - and that's just some of the examples..

SorryNotSorry Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 This was a surprise to me... it's no secret that approximately 80% of schizophrenics smoke, but a few psychologists wanted to find out why, and it turns out the schizophrenics who smoke are using nicotine to self-medicate. Maybe Carolina grass has a purpose besides annoying people after all. Link to post Share on other sites

XYZ96 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 cells are small, usually cells are very small, so small that if you want to look at them you'll want to have a microscope handy. One celled organisms are also very small, after all they only consist of one cell, and as we have already determined, single cells are small... But then there are these fellas Valonia ventricosa, otherwise known as bubble algae or sailor's eyeballs (apparently..) is a one-celled algae species that usually has a diameter of 1 to 4cms... it looks like a green bubble Spoiler or there are Xenophyophores, a class of one-celled organisms that can grow up to 20cm... the largest known being Syringammina fragilissima... Spoiler or for something pretty Acetabularia spec. an algae that can grow to 10cm tall.. and unlike the above two examples, I believe these guys only have one nucleus (not sure though..).. Spoiler (that is many of them, each "flower" is it's own organism.. ) Those species are freakishly large but they're eukaryotes (organisms with cells that contain nuclei) so they should be big, at least compared to a bacterium (or archaeon), they shouldn't really be all that bigger then, oh I don't know, a skin cell or any other non-freakishly large cell with a nucleus, but at least the bacteria (and archaea) of the world are being normal and staying super tiny, right?... nope, this world is a bizarre one, there are even bacteria, though rare that are so insanely large, that you can see them with your eyes if you look close enough... the largest bacteria known to man: Thiomargarita namibiensis... (it can grow to sizes of 0,75mm) Spoiler it's still very small, but the perfect size for that fly to play baseball or something with ... also, remember, that fly is a multicellular organism made up of eukaryotic cells (cells with a nucleaus) and eukaryotic cells tend to be bigger then bacterial cells....
