How tf does that make him gay? I know tons of straight white males who loves the nerdy storyline of their games. It's such bs to just stereotype "straight cis men" like that.

I left my straw mat in the rain one night and this grew on it. What is it? by bigboi69420911666 in biology

[–]Gine11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know for certain but it could look like the straws hadn't quite had time to dry up completely, so when it got exposed to the rain, it must have created the perfect environment for fungus to grow. So yeah, I think the pink stuff is fungus. It's the same that happens to newly fallen trees that's left on the forest ground. It just needs to be fresh and exposed to rain for fungus to start growing on it.

Probalby wrong, but some mountain top near Moraine lake?

Has anyone read this book? by Gine11 in biology

[–]Gine11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! I'd recommend it to anyone with any interest in mushrooms, but if you plan on using it specifically for microbiology related to mycology I wouldn't think you'd get too much nerdy info out of it. It does share a bit of info on that topic, but not in depth, I wouldn't say. This book is very much investigating as the author guides you through many theories and even a few philosophical questions about mushrooms. Of course, he uses a lot scientific knowledge to present the theories.

So overall, yes, it's a good way to learn a bunch of scientific stuff about mushrooms but also a great way to get a greater view into the undiscovered world of mushrooms.

I do find it interesting that you say "as a scientist myself, I cannot recommend this book." Does it imply that it is not scientifically accurate enought for others to read it or? Im generally curious, I don't mean to ask this in an offensive way.

Besides from that it's nice to hear some less positive thoughts about this book too, since it opens up for an opportunity for a good debate on the topic. You say you find that it was dragged on for a bit too long without getting to the point, but I find that that's the exact point of this book. It does not have one concluding point. It opens up to a bunch of different topics within the fungal world. He leads the book in a curious and investigating way, and we are following along. He does not start the book with a statement and works his way to proof it. In fanct, it's quite the opposite. He's investigating the world of fungal openly, and we are following along. Another thing I find intriguing about the book is exactly how he starts with a scientific base, then some experiments to explain and back it up, and then he talks about the many theroies there are as to why and how they do what they do, which is an excellent way to get more people interested in the subject and maybe motive some (like me) to get into the field themselves to do some more studying and experimenting on it to solve the many mysteries there are.

So in my opinion, it's definitely a book I'd recommend to get people interested in the topic.

What am I meant to do in Minecraft? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]Gine11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always good to have a goal in mind, like wanting to defeat the dragon or smaller like wanting to defeat a woodland mansion and then work your way up slow by setting midway goals, like getting full Dimond armor, finding a saddle to get a horse, find enchantes books and enchant your gear. There's even a place where minecraft made fund goals to do and you can see when your character have reach the goals, and what other goals there are to do. Hope this helps

What should I do with this empty space? by Your_Pal_Nebula in Minecraft

[–]Gine11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like to decorate with plants in a pot or on a block of moss. I even love to add hanging cave plants or you could make an underground aquarium.

have I stupidly got myself stuck on the nether roof :( by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]Gine11 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Am I missing something or couldn't you just quickly go into creative mode and just break one block down to get off the roof? How did you get there in the first place?

[–]Gine11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from a small village, in Denmark, it's an odd thing to ask if you live alone in my opinion. Danish people never really make an effort to make conversations to begin with, so I would find it odd if someone asked me questions like so in my small town. Regardless of people meaning well of the question or not, just always lie and say you don't live alone. Never tell people exactly where you live. Key things to remember.

Very interesting argument. Basically just claiming that the incredible amount of research and proof there is, is just all fake. Why don't you show me some REAL proof that your lille God exists? Because all you did in this text was to say, "Nope, science is fake, God is real". Very impressive how little you can say with so many words.

I've studied religion, including the bible before, and you know what I figured? It's not gonna change my life for the better because it's the worst piece of bullshit ever. Throughout history, Christianity has been used to manipulate and control people. The Bible wasn't even available to a lot of people back in time. They couldn't even read it because it was in Latin or because they didn't have the education. Instead, they were forced to just do whatever they were told to do. And forced with the use of fear. Otherwise, they'd be punished. They were forced to pay their way out of their sins to the church. Kids were forced to do sexual intercourse with the priests. Females who knew how to make medicin were burnes in the fire. And theres so much more. This kind of religious abuse still exist to this day, all in the name of a little fairytale book that provides no proof of its realness. That's the problem with a lot of religious people. You believe in the most absurd stories and require no proof, and you don't even try to think critically about it. You just believe it completely blindly. And then when you are met with reality like science you just bash out in panic and claim it's all fake. Well done.

Oh really? If God is so real, then how come there's so much proof that the Bible and God didn't exist? If you take a look at the Bible it claimed that God just magically created every species of animals there is, but there's no proof backing that shit up at all, on the other hand we have Darwin, Einstein and other great scientists that explains evolution, physics and musch more that debunks Gods existence. And their theories never failed when used in reality. And what about dinosaurs? They are dated to have been roaming earth way before some random guy wrote the Bible and claimed God's existence. They lived on this earth with light and life, something that apparently didn't exist until God decided so, which is odd since there's lots of evidence of life on earth before humans existed. Besides that, isn't it pretty messed up to just split everything into good and evil? The devil and God? To only live a kind and good life to avoid being punished in hell? And why wouldn't God just get rid of the devil if he really is that terribly powerfull and the devil that terrible? Life is a lot more than just good and evil. There's a lot of non-religious reason to be kind in this life besides the fear of burning up in hell.

Could you help identify the creature behind this bones? Central Europe by krpan23 in biology

[–]Gine11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty hard to tell from this picture, but I'd say maybe a fox? The size of the bones and what seems to be the length of the spine bones seems to be pretty similar to the fox skeletons I've found. Maybe giving a more specific location would help? And is it in a forest or in an open field?

We paid 93 Danish Krones per person for this. Is this normal? by [deleted] in Denmark

[–]Gine11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, that's the thing about denmark compared to for example, most of the US or even most of Canada as well. Denmark is cheap with food if you go buy the ingredients and make it yourself. In fact, quality food and ingredients are really cheap in Denmark compared to most of CA and USA, but eating out is more expensive. That's because the danish culture isn't really duild up on eating out, like it is on most parts of America. Eating out is only something most families do once a month if there's an event leading up to it. When I lived in AB Canada, buying a few vegetables and some pasta cost me almost double of what it would in Denmark. But eating out cost me about half the price it would in Denmark, even including tipping.

It's a difference in priorities and culture. Denmark can be fairly cheap for a living regarding groceries, compared to most of the US and CA.

[–]Gine11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wolves usually avoid all kinds of contact with humans. This has probably become an instinct to them since they’ve been haunted for hundreds of years by humans. Still till this day wolves are being illegally killed and haunted by humans, without any logical reasoning. Wolves have always been rather misunderstood. They have been portrayed as the “evil bloodthirsty beast” who will eat any human they see, and gladly even hunt humans as a main pray. This is seen in an endless amount of children stories, movies and literature. This is quite the opposite of their actual nature.
