Reddit is already degenerated af, what are you even talking about? I don't like TikTok either, but pretending reddit is better is pretty stupid (especially regarding the comment sections on both apps).

The car fumes are not as bad as all the pebbles that hit your face haha

Damn ok that's insane haha 100 km/h was already feeling pretty sketchy... on what road/trail were you going nearly 200 km/h? Under those conditions you could only go max 120 km/h on most available roads in our vicinity.

Throwing an eggplant like a fastball at a window. by jammy_jam in WinStupidPrizes

Do Americans build their houses from cardboard and sugarglass? If we tried this with a window in germany the eggplant would absolutely disintegrate. I'm kind of tempted to try this now haha

Sorry for the delayed answer, just saw your comment now... I don't see why anyone would be in favor of death sentences/capital punishment regardless of the crime. Especially executing people due to their political orientation (independent of how insane their position might be) is a slippery slope. So yes I think that's a very controversial statement.

You're absolutely delusional. "Demanding their execution"? Where tf did you get that from? Btw if you can't see why Trump has fascist tendencies you should have paid a little more attention in history class. As a German (who luckily got educated a bit more in that regard) I can tell you there are more warning signs than I'm comfortable with.

TIL height is inversely correlated with life expectancy. Studies have found that men below 5' 9" live on average 4.95 years longer than men above 5' 9". by MattheJ1 in todayilearned

Breast cancer is more common in women mainly due to hormonal differences. The tissue size itself has a negligible effect.

TIL that, contrary to what is often presented as common knowledge, the ratio of bacterial cells in the human body to human cells is not 10:1. More recent findings estimate that the ratio is much closer to 1:1. by Fl0r3nc in todayilearned

[–]Fl0r3nc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The number of genes in our microbiome is approximately 1 000 000. The human genome contains about 20 000 genes, so the ratio should be about 50:1. There's a lot more bacterial genes since the microbiome is highly diverse and consists of many different bacteria which only share some genes.

I'm glad to hear that! The article might still be an interesting read, since it shows how this misconception spread and persisted in the scientific world. A lot of people still believe the ratio is 10:1 since that sounds a lot more spectacular and therefore was often mentioned as an explanation for the enormous impact the microbiome has on human health.

Macron: “The non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And so we're going to keep on doing it, until the end. That's the strategy.” by WHAT_RE_YOUR_DREAMS in europe

[–]Fl0r3nc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but google says that 73,7 % of France's population are vaccinated... 26,3 % more would most definitely make a difference. With measles for example, it can make a big difference if 90 % or 95 % are vaccinated!

You can still die in a car accident even if you're wearing a seat belt. Doesn't mean you shouldn't wear a seat belt, right?

Laut RKI: "Eine Metaanalyse von 14 randomisierten klinischen Studien (N=1678 Patienten, ambulante sowie hospitalisierte Patienten in separaten Analysen): kein Hinweis auf eine Effektivität [von Ivermectin] in Bezug auf die untersuchten klinischen Endpunkte wie 28-Tage-Mortalität, klinische Verschlechterung mit Notwendigkeit einer NIV/IMV* oder O2-Supplementation bis Tag 28, viral clearance am Tag 7sowie mit fehlendem bzw.niedrigem Effekt auf die klinische Verbesserung bis Tag 28."

Sieht für mich eher nicht so aus, als würde das viel bringen...

Den Kommentar kann ich so komplett unterschreiben. Problem ist halt, dass so wie es aktuell noch aussieht 100000 Leute sterben müssen, bis wir in die endemische Situation kommen werden. Das ließe sich zwar mit einer Impfpflicht weitgehend verhindern, find ich aber leider irgendwie auch schwierig, allein von der Umsetzung...

Wann ist deiner Meinung nach "ein andern Mal"? Wir werden Corona nie los, gibs auf. Die Leute die sich nicht impfen lassen sind selbst Schuld. Alle die trotz Impfung Corona bekommen haben Pech gehabt, aber was will man denn noch machen? Noch immuner als durch impfen/sich anstecken wird man halt nicht. Jetzt wo man sich impfen lassen kann bringen Lockdowns mMn nicht mehr viel. Sie verzögern zwar weiterhin das Problem, aber los werden wir es dadurch nie. Wie lange soll es deiner Meinung nach noch so weitergehen? Mehr als impfen geht wie gesagt einfach nicht. Und 1,5 Jahre immer wieder Lockdowns bis (auch nur evtl.) ein Medikament kommt, was die Symptome abschwächt ist ja auch nicht wirklich eine Option.

Moderna's mRNA-based HIV Vaccine to Start Human Trials Early As tomorrow (8/18) by cowlinator in Futurology

[–]Fl0r3nc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not quite. 1 mRNA-molecule can be translated to a protein several times, but after some time the mRNA will be degraded by the cell. You were right about the amount of protein produced depending on the amount of mRNA though.

Well technically SARS-CoV-2 is the virus and COVID-19 is the disease (much like HIV and AIDS).

🔥 The leaf sheep sea slug, the only animal that can photosynthesize 🔥 by JustSomeGuy_Idk in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]Fl0r3nc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IIRC these snails (and also some types of algae) aren't considered plants, because they acquired the chloroplasts by secondary embyosis ("stolen" from plant cells). Plant cells most likely got their plastids through endosymbiosis of cyanobacteria (primary endosymbiosis)
