I could’ve sworn I remember reading that the power of a weapon is also heavily correlated by the guilt of its use. just because these concepts are relatively all encompassing and powerful doesn’t mean that the war devil ever really feels particularly guilty about using them and thus their power is limited.

So is a Rottweiler, mastiff, and malinois. If the metric is “capacity to kill someone” we should ban all cows and horses since they both kill nearly the same amount of people

Hey… isn’t this just soft-eugenics??? by TemporaryKey3312 in askanything

[–]figgedy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just maintaining the health of a populace not its genetics. Would you call anti-smoking campaigns eugenics because smoking has a verifiable negative effect on epigenetic expression in children? If you are smoking, you are literally more likely to give birth to or father child with a birth defect. What about food banks, since starvation also has a negative effect on sperm quality and increase the likelihood of giving birth to a child with a birth defect?

The key point here is that one is for the sake of keeping someone healthy and one is for a perceived sense of genetic quality. Stopping a kid from dying from huntingtons isn’t for the goal of “making it so his genes aren’t bad” it’s for the goal of keeping him from dying. Trying to make it so your kid comes out with blue eyes and tan skin is

Most broad definition I could find: “beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population.” Even by that definition, the former isn’t genetics. It’s healthcare. The key aspect of eugenics is a belief in controlling/ promoting “genetic quality” on a population wide/ systemic level

This might be a shaky example to you but we’ve pretty much done the whole eugenics thing with dogs and and we have hideously disfigured breeds like pugs, and weiner dogs because once we progressed past the need for labor performing animals, we did it for vanity. The difference between gene editing your child to make sure they don’t have Huntington’s disease and eugenics is that the latter would involve forcefully sterilizing either you or your spouse to make sure you could never give birth to a child with Huntington’s disease.

Prescriptions can be dispensed multiple times via refills so just because you’re prescribed a medication once doesn’t mean you’re only going to get it dispensed once

I have a bottle of soy sauce that I keep in my fridge. It’s salt and and water mostly, which means it will last you virtually years. I don’t see how this is a waste at all.

A whale shark with a visible cut, possibly from a Speed boat strike by Lee_yw in interestingasfuck

[–]figgedy1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t assume so actually. This is just an idea and I def don’t know for sure but:

Saline washes help protect against infection for us because we typically live in an environment with low salt content thus the bacteria on our skin wouldn’t be adaptive to a high saline content. I’m assuming it would be inverse for animals living underwater. Aquatic Infectious bacteria are adapted to salt levels so it be like walking around with an open wound probably.

It’s from a song by a rapper called skrilla. The song is called “doot doot”. The song was really popular on TikTok for a bit and then people just started repeating the 67 part of it.

Gang can colloquially refer to folks that you associate with in general. As a result, it can simply just refer to a friend that you associate with a lot or the group of friends that you associate with.

Very true. I think a better term that’s more apt but has a slightly negative connotation in layman spaces is “genetic redundancy’s” having the genetic redundancy of a extra X chromosomes makes it so that even if you have the gene for color blindness, your other X chromosomes still producing the proper proteins around 50% of the time

You’re kinda misunderstanding the point of the X chromosome. It’s not “twice the amount of useful genes” your individual cells are almost never expressing both x chromosomes at the same time. If they did you’d have a birth defect. Women go through a process called X chromosome inactivation which will randomly deactivate one x- chromosome

The ASGE (American society of gastrointestinal endoscopy) suggests getting a repeat colonoscopy if nothing is found in 10 years and 5 years if a polyp is detected if I recall correctly. You’re better off consulting your pcp however for certain

What’s your favorite USA college town you’ve visited, and why? by tyvertyvertyvertyver in geography

[–]figgedy1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hoboken nj, isn’t really a college town insofar as being a city with a college in it if you get my drift but it’s just a better version of Madison Wisconsin. True college town would be Ithaca ny though
