To the best of my understanding, it works similar to how our reproductive cells do. Basically, a splitting up of genetic material followed by formation of the initial cell. Then, upon fertilization, you get the same process of cellular multiplication as mammals undergo.

Worked how?

It fully works as intended. It’s only when people try to use it for other purposes that it fails. It’s an estimation tool, nothing more or less

I dunno, the only real difference I can think of was trip planning. Calling for a tow wasn’t necessarily going to be an every trip thing anyway, and unless you were going to be away from even small population centers, it wasn’t that hard to manage for an able bodied person.

So the real barrier to just driving to the beach (as an example) was in knowing what turns to take more than anything else.

But the truth is that pre-gps, most people that were driving significant distances, or to unfamiliar places locally, carried maps. I used to do home health, and if the client didn’t give directions, you sat down with a map, found where they lived, and planned the route.

It was definitely more stressful going to an unfamiliar place for sure though. Gps with voice direction reduces the need to take your eyes away from driving to look for street signs. Doesn’t eliminate it, but the reduction compared to navigating a town you’ve never been in is massive.

I can’t say that those annoyances made the world feel smaller or larger though. Driving from my area up to somewhere like Pittsburgh or Baltimore was a perfectly reasonable trip to make in a single day of driving.

Wait, are you asking where the actual fertilized egg cell is? I think that’s what you’re wanting, but could be wrong.

The yolk isn’t actually the “egg” in the same way a human ovum is. I mean, it kinda is, but there’s a spot in/on it called a blastodisc. That is what rooster sperm fertilizes, and where all development starts from. Once fertilized, it’s called a blastoderm. Not the blastodisc is the direct equivalent of a mammalian ovum.

That’s why the embryo develops in roughly the same place, it’s all starting from one place; and because of how yolks form, that growth is going to be roughly towards the center.

Well, since you posted here, I assume you’re looking at this as a mental health issue and we can dispense with the woowoo stuff? If not, I got nothing for you.

But, you’re describing a pretty damn strong visual. The way you describe it isn’t hallucinatory, more like an intrusive image/thought.

My first instinct is to ask if you’ve changed medications (not necessarily psychiatric ones) recently, or may have been exposed to environmental toxins.

That’s where I’d start looking for a cause, and I’d want to do it with the usual assortment of medical specialists; neurology, psychiatry, and probably a general workup across the board to rule out something unusual like a hormonal cause. That would be weird, but not impossible.

In any case, it’s definitely something that merits diagnosis and at least bare minimum attempts to control it if the origin is psychological.

Lmao! Good point

Yeah, that’s how I got my first racoon baculum. Fox too.

There’s even a fairly brisk if low cost trade in them, and is generally going to come from either winter deaths after spring thaws, or road kill.

In general, I think people run into confusing exactly what is and isn’t the kind of stupid that’s right for this place.

Questions can be perfectly valid, but not really something you couldn’t ask anyone, any time, and get a deciding decent answer, so those get down voted a good bit.

Then you run into posts that are really more shittyasklemmy territory. They’re essentially jokes that neither deserve nor can be answered in a useful way.

There’s also the ones that are word salad that get down voted because nobody knows what the fuck is being asked.

Your most recent one fell afoul of not really being a question as much as it was a rant in question form. Which never goes over well here (I always down vote those, personally). Still answered in that case, but it really wasn’t in the spirit of the C/, so I felt it worth the vote down.

You had previous questions that were great, btw. It was just that one that rang funky.

I can’t speak for everyone, obviously, but thats my take on the trends of heavily down voted posts.

The ones that are genuine questions that wouldn’t be easy to ask and get answered irl or in most online spaces, those are the ones that tend to get up votes and plenty of responses

Shit, did I step into a troll?

If so, you got me good lol

I dunno, I think weed is too hard to get in jail, and bibles as rolling papers aren’t as good as people think

My dick; I fuck Linux so hard

Which is completely irrelevant to that group because the process by which an animal recognizes that is and isn’t “food” is partially location dependent. If you took one of them out of their territory at birth, raised them in a different one, they’d learn different food spectrum.

It’s his dick, obviously

That is the shittiest possible interpretation of the situation.

People act like animals can just magically decide to eat new things. It doesn’t work like that. It’s the same as that stupid koala meme where people whinge about them not eating things put down in their territory.

That’s not how it works, at all. Animals, humans included, have instincts that drive them with it comes to what is and isn’t food. And even humans can turn down things that are technically edible while starving, because they don’t know it’s edible, and we do have the ability to reason out ways to safely try unfamiliar things.

I think you’re going to run into this being the wrong community for this.

It tends to be more about traditional movies, usually feature length. Since lemmy in general is anti ai, there’s another layer of difficulty in finding viewership in this community. I don’t recall the names of them (since it isn’t a personal interest), but there are ai friendly C/s around that would likely be a better place to find support and feedback.

I’m not a mod here, so this isn’t a certain declaration, just trying to guide you to a better situation

Well, I’m tired, bored, and this is one of those subjects that rarely gets expanded on, so I’m jumping in

Us using only a fraction of our potential strength is a thing. And, indeed, adrenaline can override those limits, up to a point. It isn’t a complete override, nor would a complete override tear things up to the degree that the shorter version of this information makes it seem.

See, a big chunk of the limitation we have in using our strength comes down to biomechanics. If a given muscle could move 100 pounds in isolation when lined up perfectly, a big reason the same muscle on the body can’t move the same weight is that each muscle has to work with the connection points to bones, around joints. So there’s not really a way to use 100% of the potential.

But there is still a limiter beyond that! It’s called the golgi reflex organ. It’s basically some nerves that live where tendons and muscles join up. It’s entire purpose is to detect how much tension is on that junction, and kick in a limitation when the tension goes too high.

That limitation isn’t so much about tearing things up, though that is a factor. It’s about keeping the body stable and effective. It’s potayto potahto for the most part, but the underlying function isn’t to keep us dumb monkeys from ripping ourselves up, it’s the other factors and the injury reduction is a side benefit.

That’s mostly because a typical person can’t tear themselves up very much. That kind of injury you see with the batshit crazy weight lifters having their muscles totally pull off the bone isn’t going to happen to someone average even with adrenaline. What you’d get is strains, pulled muscles and the like. Painful, annoying, and definitely not anything to sneeze at, but no different in scale than what you’d get without adrenaline by pushing too hard or experiencing atypical situations.

We also have energy limits. You can only fire off so much muscle at once because there’s not enough go juice to make it happen.

Which all comes back to is only using a fraction of our full strength being less about injury and more about it being wasteful. Doesn’t take all our strength to pick up an empty box, and it might if the box was full of lead. So our brains and those golgi organs conspire to not go hard unless there’s a reason to. There’s just an override for emergencies that gets us much closer to balls out than normal.

I’m gonna suggest Owl House as a must see pick. The entire run is just so good, and hits all the right buttons for a cross generation watching. I watched it with my kid, originally reluctantly, and eventually came to love it myself.

I’d also suggest Monster High. While it leans a little bland in terms of messaging and characters, it makes up for it by being visually fun and easy to watch in random sessions since there’s very little mandatory order to watch things in. Depending on how you view such things though, there’s the goodbad fact of there being dolls and toys linked to it.

But both have a reliable foundation of accepting people as they are, being kind, and treating others well. There’s good conflict resolution moments, good affirmations on finding one’s authentic self, etc. I’d err on the side of Owl House being the better of the two, but monster high sometimes hits a little better for some kids

Just screw it.

Start with some wine, maybe a back rub. Get it all relaxed and then just slide into it

About two seconds after that booty clap

it may have been, yeah. I know I first heard it back in the eighties.
