They’ve existed for awhile for people with certain disabilities and further advancements in the field would be great for the people who actually need them, but outside of that niche most people would likely not want to risk a highly invasive surgery and I don’t think they actually care about them.

I’m gen z and I still remember that time.

It’s also a massive risk when even the advanced ones have a high rejection rate of around 44% that’s never talked about, and don’t have nearly as much fine control as the media makes them out to be on top of being uncomfortably heavy for some people. While some do like them, a lot wind up preferring simpler ones or none at all.

Tbh there was also a time where I was under the assumption that all the big car manufacturing CEOs are probably not much better, Elon was just stupid enough to be open about it. For that I’m willing to give the benefit of doubt unless they recently got a Tesla brand new or have the PS1 graphics car.

Foreshadowing

I once accidentally bought pepper spray I forgot was in my bag through TSA.

Eh, if it’s lab grown or some family heirloom then I don’t think there’s any harm. With lab grown you’re getting virtually the same thing as natural ones for cheaper, and without it being harvested by a child slave at gun point.

I’m aware there are legitimate uses for it, I meant around foodstuff since it’s not something that should be anywhere near it. I probably should’ve specified better. 😅

Great, now lets ban teflon next.

Similar reactions produced by particle accelerators are constantly happening all around us, and isn’t just limited to extreme conditions like around black holes. This is just the same thing but at a much smaller and more controlled scale, and last I checked the sun hasn’t produced any world ending black holes despite the far more extreme reactions constantly happening within it. A man even survived a high energy proton beam from one of those accelerators passing through his brain and was able to continue his career in quantum physics, so at that point I doubt they’re capable of anything world ending.

I mean, it wasn’t like I was expecting the guy who refused to take down a popular softcore CP sub until it got mainstream media attention to be morally upstanding.

Ironically I wouldn’t have heard of it if it werent for this, so Streisand effect in action.

There is actually a promising cancer treatment that uses a genetically modified poliovirus strain, but it’s still in its trial phase.

I had no context when I first saw this image and assumed it was something drug related.

Grains loaded with added sugars for your largest meal. Surely that won’t contribute further to this country’s health crisis, like it didn’t already do that by marketing itself as healthy for growing children.

Dang maybe we should take a fraction of the trillions we spend on the military to fund scientific research, and also health and education while we’re at it so we’d get even more potential scientists.

…like lumber doesnt take far more effort per harvest, as well as take longer to grow?

As someone who is unironically into a lot of VR stuff and even owns a pricey headset myself, I did not understand the appeal from the features I’ve seen past looking “”“cool”“”. Even the stuff that looks at least somewhat fun or useful doesnt seem worth it considering the price, especially now that reviews are reporting there are basic features that cheaper headsets perform much better at and are way more comfortable.

Hemp is very versatile and can be used to make similar paper products while growing at a much faster rate, which potentially makes it a good replacement. The association with marijuana is part of what prevented it from catching on though.

I’m assuming the sequel is also forgettable considering that I’ve barely heard a thing about the plot.
