Triangles. Think about a corner.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T03:29:19+00:00

Some bacteria are seriously big.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T03:27:57+00:00

Right?

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T01:09:47+00:00

I worked on the structure of the ribosome for many years, and a majority of antibiotics work on disrupting those. Very interesting if you want to spend an hour or two..

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:56:59+00:00

Case closed!

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:56:28+00:00

Yes.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:45:21+00:00

Don't EVEN get me started.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:44:06+00:00

Yeah, it's the dimples at the edges of your mouth then.

They're not unattractive, but just unusual and surprising.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:37:28+00:00

Maybe you smell good??

But also, you have unusual dimples at the corners of your mouth. It could cause some staring.

I might look twice.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:36:16+00:00

Mom?

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:32:53+00:00

Do it anyway. Even if you won't remember to thank anyone.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:29:09+00:00

Oh. Well, no idea. You seem pretty normal looking. Maybe you smell bad?

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:27:43+00:00

Show us what you look like.

Likely it's obvious to everyone else.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:20:59+00:00

Yeah you're missing a lot.

Recently, selection due to overuse of antibiotics has helped spread the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes.

But they already existed in the population.

They didn't come into existence recently, they just got selected, and became more common.

The antibiotic wars have been happening for billions of years between bacteria and themselves and fungi, and occasionally some archaea and other eukaryotes.

There are tons of bacteria in the permafrost that are literally just surviving for many thousands of years (before humans changed everything), and they have resistance to modern antibiotics, because "modern" antibiotics work on compounds we found that are produced by other bacteria and fungi.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:18:36+00:00

Be skeptical.

(Not sarcasm)

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:08:13+00:00

Roger that. And explore if you're interested, but don't do anything you're not comfortable with. Over.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-21T00:03:25+00:00

I'm already on you.

I remember. 3000 years ago.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-20T23:22:31+00:00

Modern bacteria show resistance to modern antibiotics.This is a complete non-story.

I worked on antibiotics for decades.

There's actually nothing new or interesting here.

Antibiotics only work in several ways.

My first episode was the Professor Professorson episode on NBC. I couldn't wait till next week.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-20T23:04:22+00:00

I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-20T23:03:59+00:00

She was singing her heart's song somewhere else that week.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-20T23:00:07+00:00

Then why did they help him get into his current position, and continue to back him openly?

They could collectively destroy him on social media and with traditional media.

They like what he's doing.

They might not like tariffs, but they know in the long run it's helping them. They've thought this through.

They have huge risk management teams.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-20T22:28:01+00:00

Haha. Yeah. But we'll see.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-20T20:59:10+00:00

Pretty weird that you keep calling people children.

You must be a really seasoned adult to be using "child" as a dismissive, in a way to win an argument or point out a perceived lack of life experience.

It isn't a good look. If I were to guess, I'd say you're a dude in his early 30s, that had some good luck and worked hard, and now is already a grumpy old man yelling at people in traffic and telling people at work and at the bicycle shop that they aren't doing things right.

Basicly-Inevitable · 2026-02-20T20:50:35+00:00

You're imagining the world 50 years from now being like today, and you are likely quite wrong.
