any news on why it’s closing?

oh that makes more sense, thank you!

I don’t get how spreading the claim that carrots help your eyes covers up having radar, it feels non sequitur …

this is legit my worst nightmare

oof, you caught me red-handed, USian here 😭 <greatest country on earth she says between sobs>

but it’s our money, not his … taxes?

yep, a guy with a history in law enforcement, had a job where he investigated claims of misconduct of employees, he seemed to use that to serially sexually prey on the people who he ended up investigating

can’t be more specific for legal reasons unfortunately

not sure he was inherently evil per se, but what he did I would consider evil

would love indexing and numbers on my handle

or just go full Japan and incorporate a thermostat

<cries in trans community>

it’s pseudo-diagnostic, you don’t know whether he would have been allergic to peanuts if you didn’t rub it on his chest

this meme smells like cigarettes and mold, and I just know there’s a casette tape of metal music in the car

good job sweetie, I’m sure you’ll make an excellent bottom 😊

I’m not an expert in media or journalism, so don’t take me seriously, but my speculation is that because American corporate media is for-profit and competing for attention, when something is new and getting attention, everyone competes to grab as much of the attention as possible (while it still generates interest), creating a fear of missing out for those who don’t try to monetize the new thing.

You see this in all kinds of markets, like - why were two big blockbuster movies about Napoleon produced and then published around the same time? The anticipation of a cash grab invites others to see if they can get in on it and siphon some of the cash for themselves. Producers all compete to capitalize on consumer fads in general, and fads can even be artificially generated, through manipulation of consumers (whether through celebrity or influencer endorsements, guerilla marketing, or just traditional advertisements).

Media is just another form of consumption and shows the same ebb and flow as other consumer markets.

not entirely sure what your question is … why not just … make art that looks like this? What’s the “science” part of the question?

You could always submit DNA from a pet or something that wouldn’t be a privacy issue, but I think it’s smart not to ever give your DNA to a for-profit company (and to be careful when giving it to medical companies, etc.).

For what it’s worth, gel electrophoresis was something I did in high-school, you could probably buy RNA or DNA samples online and setup your own electrophoresis, but then I’m not sure what you would want to do with the result - but it would look a lot like the photos you’re sharing in terms of showing the DNA fragments suspended in the gel 🤷‍♀️

google “bottoming”

very helpful, at least it confirms I will have no clue since I’m in North America 😆

much luck, curious to see what it is! 🫡

region? you could be anywhere in the world, it’s important to know roughly where you are to help identify plants or other local fauna or flora …

so pretty! 😍

thank you 🫡
