I always wonder if some of the self reported dosage variability for pills comes from differences in absorbtion of pills. Maybe some ppl's stomach acids or bacterial flora destroy particular molecules more or prevents absorption more than in other ppl?

you can see this with pot edibles, if you take one on an empty stomach it takes forever to kick in and sometimes doesn’t work very well, but if you eat the same one after a large fatty meal it will kick in fast and strong

If we're talking that long of a timescale, how long does your typical book these days actually last? I'm no expert, but it makes me wonder how long consumer paper actually lasts. Reasonable(?) search result below.

adding paper to a compost pile will give different results than keeping a book stored in the proper conditions

even if we archive everything, hundreds of years from now all of “the worlds information” could very well be unusable and unreadable for a variety of factors(no one remembers how to deal with the file formats, EMP, bit rot). books however will continue to work just fine as they have for thousands of years

i used to argue with the other middle schoolers about how dark forces was superior to doom because you could look up and down. it really did seem pretty amazing in 1995

dos gaming was great. you had to work to get games running but then you were rewarded with something like mech warrior 2 or privateer which couldn’t really be experienced on any other platform

I can't express my contempt for the people shitting on this. Of course google is a for-profit company, and they do this because it will help them make money. But billions of people will get access to all the worlds information. And yet you see people whining about ads in this thread.

glanard_frugner · 4 years ago

what if people are actually better off not having 24/7 internet access in their pocket and all the new expectations that go along with it? i’d definitely like to return to that world given the chance

Similar timeline on babies. But I think it's important to distinguish "scientists" from "people" in this case. My mom witnessed my brother's circumcision, on the day of his birth. She knew without a doubt that he was in immense pain, which the doctor flatly denied. Similarly, people who work with animals have known that they feel pain since time immemorial.

> As recently as 1999, it was commonly stated that babies could not feel pain until they were a year old,

how would it even be possible to reach that conclusion?

The base perspective of these types of 'discoveries' always seems to come with an underlying belief or assertion that our natural world is incapable and dumb. Why do these scientists assume the worst as a starting point?

What makes these types of discoveries become headlines? I don't get it.

glanard_frugner · 4 years ago

people didn’t even think animals felt pain until the 1980s
