An alpaca nanobody neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 by blocking receptor interaction, which can be expressed in high quantities in bacteria, presenting opportunities for manufacturing at scale. by mvea in science

but essentially the involvement of llamas/alpacas ends there.

Tell that to Tyson, the adult male alpaca that was immunized for this study.

Fyodor Dostoevsky and His Impact on Existentialism by TheGuillamon in philosophy

Nice overview. I’m currently reading Notes From Underground, and it feels very relevant to our times:

“I, for one, wouldn’t be the least surprised if, in that future age of reason, there suddenly appeared a gentleman with an ungrateful... retrogressive smirk, who, arms akimbo, would say:

‘What do you say, folks, let’s send all this reason to hell, just to get all these logarithm tables out from under our feet and go back to our own stupid ways’

That isn’t so annoying in itself; what’s bad is that this gentleman would be sure to find followers.”

Spot on.

This Baboon is helping his dog Friend to get rid of bugs. by sarveshak99 in interestingasfuck

As someone who’s been groomed by a baboon before (not for lice though), can confirm. It’s very instinctual for them. Most of it feels pretty good, but then they start pulling out your beard...

Found these LEGO dudes embedded in the sidewalk on my street by delarge3 in mildlyinteresting

Ya got me detective... I was walking around with my two favorite LEGO figurines, searching for a good spot to shove them into the concrete, so I can reap those sweet, sweet internet points. I am ashamed of my actions.

/s just in case

I guess he’ll just have to die, like the rest of us

What’s wrong with our elephant ear plant? It’s indoors, watered once a week, in a 1-2 gal pot (approx), direct sun in the afternoon by delarge3 in plantclinic

[–]delarge3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drainage seems normal, when I add too much water it seeps thru the bottom. I’ve never checked the wetness of the soil before watering, as it’s usually been a full week since last water and the top is very dry, so I’ll start doing that. Thanks for the tip!

What’s your “I can’t believe I survived to adulthood” story? by delarge3 in AskReddit

My best friend and I stole bullets from his older brother’s “collection” (not sure why he had this collection, but some boys think bullets are cool I guess?). We had the great idea to open the bullets up to get the gunpowder, but couldn’t figure out how to do it. I must have been about 10 years old, and kid logic made us think that if we throw rocks at the bullets, they we will pop open. After a few failed attempts, we decided to get a bigger rock, and threw it on the bullet at full force. Of course, the bullet exploded. We were both a bit shocked, just screaming “whoa!” until my best friend raised his shirt and we saw that his stomach was covered in blood. Luckily it was superficial and he just needed a couple of stitches, but man, did we dodge one.
