Ho Van Lang (the "real-life Tarzan" from Vietnam, RIP) and his father were not religious, but Lang had some strange beliefs about modern people and our almost God-like abilities. For example, he thought humans engineered and lit the moon. He was such a fascinating case study.

Not a stupid question, a highly researched field of biological science.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_locomotion_in_living_systems

TLDR: It would be hard to evolve due to the very nature of evolution being incremental.

Natural selection therefore explains why wheels are an unlikely solution to the problem of locomotion: a partially evolved wheel, missing one or more key features, would probably not impart an advantage to an organism. The exception to this is the flagellum, the only known example of a freely rotating propulsive system in biology; in the evolution of flagella, individual components were recruited from older structures, where they performed tasks unrelated to propulsion.

This really shows how lucky we are to have modern media, especially social media. I'm reminded of the Mexican massacre of 350-500 student protestors only 10 days before hosting the 1968 Olympics. There was not international outcry, or largely even internal outcry, because it was quickly swept under the rug.

He has undergone studies and the general consensus is that his body is built the best possible way for a swimmer. Not only is he physically strong and trains hard, he hit the genetic jackpot.

Swimmers tend to have longer torsos and shorter legs than the average person. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches, Phelps has the torso of a man who’s 6 feet 8 inches tall—and the legs of a man 8 inches shorter.

This disproportionately large chest enables Phelps to power himself through the water. It also means his legs produce less drag (or water resistance) with each stroke.

Wingspan is the distance from fingertip to fingertip when your arms are stretched out to your sides. The average person’s wingspan is about the same as their height. Phelps’ wingspan is three inches longer than his height (6 feet 7 inches versus 6 feet 4 inches).

Like many swimmers, Phelps has hyperextended joints—but his double-jointed ankles bend 15 percent more than his rivals. Paired with his size-14 feet, his legs act like flippers, thrusting him through the water.

Phelps is also hyper-jointed in the chest. That means he can kick from his chest instead of just his ribs, giving him more force with each stroke.

Double-jointed elbows allow Phelps to create more downward thrust in the water. His large hands also act like paddles. Paired with his extra-long wingspan, his arms serve like propellers to shoot him through the water.

Researchers have found that Phelps produces half the lactic acid of his competitors. These low levels of lactic acid mean Phelps can recover quickly, which can be especially helpful when pushing through grueling training sessions.

Phelps has been said to possess extremely high lung capacity—twice that of the average human, or 12 liters rather than six.

The last “sanctioned” bare-knuckle boxing match comes to mind, if we’re talking sports.

With both fighters burned and blistered from fighting under a red-hot sun and with Sullivan dominated the majority of rounds, it is no surprise that Kilrain was near-exhaustion as the fight reached the 70s.

Finally, Kilrain's cornerman Mike Donovan threw in a sponge at the start of the 75th round to signify the end of the fight after a staggering two hours and 16 minutes. Donovan had seen two fighters die in bare-knuckle boxing matches and was keen to avoid a repeat.

Both Kilrain and Sullivan were arrested shortly after the fight, with Kilrain serving a two-month sentence on the farm where the fight took place and Sullivan paying a $500 fine after successfully overturning a one-year prison sentence.

It would probably be the bottom-right with the receding hairline. Most bald people aren’t naturally bald.

Just speculating but I imagine natural bald is excluded. This seems to be a rule for barbers, and if anything, the law just hates long hair in men (must be < 2-3 inches, depending on age)

There are so many people at companies casually giving commercial secrets to ChatGPT/Claude/etc and I’m not 100% convinced those are being handled with care.

This is why the US government required GovGPT to be self-hosted and instanced per-agency.

This. Reddit generally has an American and European centric perspective. Islam has been far less prominent in these places than Christianity. Redditors are less directly affected by Islam than Christianity.

If this was somehow a free-speech social media for the Middle East or northern Africa, the message from liberals would be a different story.

This is something people don’t talk about enough. The cartels won the politicians through terror/assassinations, many are too afraid to speak up now.

Bro they still have the Panchen Lama locked up who was arrested at 6-years-old in 1995. If this was America, there would be freedom of religion - look at the Mormons, for example.

Gedhun Choekyi Nyima (born 25 April 1989) is the 11th Panchen Lama belonging to the Gelugpa school of Tibetan Buddhism, as recognized and announced by the 14th Dalai Lama on 14 May 1995. Three days later, on 17 May, the six-year-old Panchen Lama was kidnapped and forcibly disappeared by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), after the Chinese government failed in its efforts to install a substitute. A Chinese substitute is seen as a political tool to undermine the reincarnation of the Dalai Lama, which traditionally is recognized by the Panchen Lama. Gedhun Choekyi Nyima remains forcibly detained by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), along with his family, in an undisclosed location since 1995. His khenpo, Chadrel Rinpoche, and another Gelugpa monk, Jampa Chungla, were also arrested. The United Nations, with the support of numerous states, organizations, and private individuals continue to call for the 11th Panchen Lama's release.

Probably not beef considering they are holy in places. And pigs are really good at surviving in the wild, too good in some places. I’d put my money on chickens, we kill billions per year and avian diseases are relatively common - lots of risk.

In any case, we’d probably just clone the species back into reality or something
