You’re just hoping for Iran to develop a better functioning democracy than the US after it was “bombed back to the stone ages”?

That IS super nieve.

It is the only liverwort that does this. No need to check on other liverwort species. You can leave them be.

I hope your time will come too, it’s crazy how overshadowed this topic is

Haha, are you speaking from your own practical experience, in which you failed and decided to buy canned food instead?

It’s not easy, but it’s not impossible either. It depends on your circumstances.

And there’s an in between as well: grow some of your own food and buy canned foods as well. Or share a garden with people who know what they’re doing.

Yes I guess cravings are part of the “reptilian brain” (brain stem) in humans as well.

Funny to think crocs could crave banana’s. “Finally, gotta have some potassium after all these meats”.

So they go around eating plants they don’t know to see if they like them and get a craving for them later? Doesn’t seem very crocodile-like

Interesting! But how do we know the crocs eat the fruit specifically as mineral or fiber supplement and not just for general sustenance, for the fun of death rolling a pumpkin, or “by accident”?

The sentence “it’s not by accident either” indicates clearly observable behaviour. I.e.: A croc needs potassium, then eats a banana. But how did the scientists observe this?

And how do the crocs know which fruit to eat? I guess for them to eat anything with the intention of being provided with minerals or fiber they need to know their fruits?

I have so many questions. I know bears know a lot about plants and some apes are known to use specific plants (as medicine even), but this is indicative of higher intelligence so I’d be curious to hear if anyone knows about how this works in primitive reptile brains.

Good job! Now it is both a reply and not a reply

I can confirm kimchi helps me poop, so I guess if I just got administered some nanoplastics there would be more nanoplastics in my poop.

We are more of a symbiont than we like to admit with more than half of our cells being non-human.

Next step is to find a suitable photobiont and go find a rock to lie on

Wait. Lab mice injected with the lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi had nanoplastic levels twice as high than those not injected… That’s the opposite of the claim in the title.

I had to read this a couple of times.

Obnoxious creatures they are, always trying to take the shine from mosses. Mosses don’t need symbiosis because they’re perfectly able to survive harsh conditions by themselves. There’s been hardly a need to change their perfect designs for millions of years.

Lichens are just the result of symbiotic relationships formed whenever fungi and algae or cyanobacteria feel like doing it. They’re a promiscuous lot. Promiscuous scabs on a rock.

That’s debatable, most sources estimate mosses to have been there before lichens.

Mosses are true plants and have leaves with chlorophyll though! Way more interesting in the context of there being trees or not. Lichens are just scabs on a rock.

Who are these people?

Maybe it feels counter-intuitive to some that sharks were there before trees…

But I hope it is intuitive that there was water long before there was soil? Then it’s just a small step to realize life in water has had a much longer time to develop.

Mosses were likely already there though

You won’t live forever if you don’t do drugs either, so no worries.

I don’t know, but when I started recognizing birds by sound I noticed it was working as a constant mindfulness exercise whenever I went outside. I suppose mindfulness has similar positive effects on the brain?

Then I’d say any hobby that encourages mindfulness could have a positive effect on your brain?

What even was this article about? It reads like it is building up to something but then fails to deliver.

Studies conclude that set and setting is key in psychedelic therapy. So yes, priming is crucial and success depends on a lot of factors. But we already knew this. No one serious suggests psychedelics always work and always create a mystical experience in which all problems are solved.

This article does not add any more info on the question in the title “Can Psychedelic Experiences Really Improve Your Mental Health?”. That’s just clickbait.

I’m not commenting on people staying on topic, I’m saying the topic is always celebrities with you guys. No matter who started it.

And with your excellent ability to stay on this topic, the topic doesn’t change much.

I just called this reaction to the post that was already about influencers the Americanest thing I read, I did not mean any offense.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to comment on Americans always making things about celebrities and influencers, even if there is many facets to war.

This is the facet on the war, of which there are many, that the posts and the commenter highlight and I’m commenting on it because I find the talk of “bloodthirst” and “sad there’s innocent people killed, better take some of those influencers with them” appalling.
