See, some people think forcible sterilization is never acceptable, and yet we have multiple comments from people that didn’t read the study asking if the authors thought of something.

Maybe you’d know if you were literate.

You can have your balls back if you do your homework.

This thread is like a Reddit/Lemmy Smart Guy combo. People who just assume paid researchers didn’t consider this extremely basic thing they learned about in high school, and also hinting at IQ-based eugenics

Being illiterate has no correlation with wanting other people to do all the work for me. We’re just lazy. Please do some homework before jumping to conclusions.

  still sounds like reproduction being a privilege is a good idea

    That scene in Idiocracy where the smart couple fail to reproduce comes to mind.

Alright, so for the idiots here, how is this not a study showing that paint repels mosquitos?

  The treatments were black-and-white painted stripes, black painted stripes, and no stripes (all-black body surface). Recorded fly-repelling behaviors were head throw, ear beat, leg stamp, skin twitch, and tail flick. Photo images of the right side of each cow were taken using a commercial digital camera after every observation and biting flies on the body and each leg were counted from the photo images. Here we show that the numbers of biting flies on Japanese Black cows painted with black-and-white stripes were significantly lower than those on non-painted cows and cows painted only with black stripes
  
  Black paint was not as effective as black and white paint.

    It did show in the results that black paint had a 15%/10% decrease or something around there though. Would that indicate anything? Another group done with white stripes and a fully painted white and black group I think would have helped but maybe there was good reason not to.
