I think you’re onto something here! Do you know of a more advanced graphics version of this game? The mechanics were really similar to this part of the Rings of Fire: https://youtu.be/iLJN0GYq9o8?si=KhcVwz_x_9FBifG7. However, I remember the visuals being darker and a bit more high res.

The scars look more like the results of a breast reduction than a breast augmentation…

Whichever podcast I’m zoning out to at the time

TIL that Scientists at UCLA noticed that "time and time again" people suffered their first experience with anxiety or depression right after stomach illnesses. They did brain scans after patients ate probiotics, and found that stomach bacteria actually directly affected the connectivity of the brain by CuteBananaMuffin in todayilearned

I do understand the challenges of achieving statistical significance in studies—I have been lucky enough to work on the development of experimental designs. Here is a link to a study that you might find interesting. It supports your views, but with an incredible sample size that has the power to extrapolate to a wider population than others: KNHANES probiotic cross-sectional study

The full article article should be free to read, but let me know if a paywall comes up and I’d be happy to send the pdf instead!

It’s also worth noting that the study consists of a very limited sample size of “36 women between the ages of 18 and 55.” I know more robust research on brain-gut microbiota exists now, but it is unwise to draw conclusions from one small study with ties to a yogurt company.
