• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have any of you experienced that "snake detection" instinct? Do you think it's real?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That article seems wildly misinformed at best and AI-written at worst. Saying that humans evolved color and forward-facing vision just to detect snakes is ridiculous, and the claim that snake venom evolved after constriction (and has anything to do with humans) is definitely not the current scientific consensus. As it stands now, we actually believe that the lizard ancestors of snakes already had a basic form of venom, and the unique thing that the snake lineage evolved were hollow teeth for efficient venom injection. Because apparently the venomns within the venomous lizards and all the branches of snakes are too similar to have evolved convergently, while hollow snake teeth probably evolved two or three separate times.

  I don’t believe there’s a specific instinct that’s tied to snakes in particular. We know that there are plenty of mammalian instincts around motion detection and responding to being startled, and to me it sounds way more likely that it’s just those in effect in all these anecdotes. You also probably wouldn’t remember all the snakes you never noticed so there’s potential for some heavy confirmation bias.
  I’d also claim that if there were an instinct about detecting snakes, babies should have it? They’re probably the most food-sized a human can get (even if they’re still too big for most snakes and humans in general are an awful shape for swallowing because of our broad shoulders) Well, apparently babies have no inherent response to snakes and any fear of them is probably learned. Here’s a video: youtu.be/3L4lxusff1c

  But, if we’re doing ancdotal evidence my own evidence is that I was reading emails with my snake on my lap the other day and didn’t notice her scooting away into my chair until it was already too late and she was firmly wedged in there. Had to poke her butt to coax her into coming out from there.

  Guys it’s a fraud the bag that says “RAT” on it does not actually contain any rats :(

  Who tf knows what they’re called today. Kiosk or Rat or something. Good for them though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can you comment something cool here?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Snakes smell in 3D, that’s what the forked tongue is for. They have a hole in the roof of their mouth where they put their tongue and the smell particles from the two different sides of the tongue get interpreted as directional data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I slander Java too lmao. I'm sure Java devs have the last laugh when their paychecks come in, tho⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Java is weird and I don’t like it. It’s the go-to language to learn as a first programming language in school and university, but the kind of Java that is actually used in corporate jobs, with all the weird frameworks and libraries, is so far removed from school Java that it feels like a whole different thing. Maven is weird and confusing and I don’t get it (but I’m perfectly fine with Php’s Composer and JS npm/yarn). And I have yet to come across any sort of real life problem where OOP is a better solution than Functional Programming.

  Ugh, my work mandated doing an “AI training” course too that everyone needs to do until October 31st. Luckily I’m leaving the company at the end of September so I can just ignore the deadline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some fruit produce human compatible hormones?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Another fun thing about Melatonin is also that nocturnal animals produce it basically the same way - dim light makes them produce melatonin while bright light flushes the melatonin out of their system. The melatonin itself just affects their nervous system in the opposite way and acts like a stimulant, so they get less sleepy when they have a lot of it. I think that’s kinda neat and maybe a bit counterintuitive if you have never thought about it before. I sure know that I would have either expected nocturnal animals to have their own separate compound or to produce melatonin at daytime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it every aspiring chef's dream to work in a hectic high-stress kitchen? If so, why?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t work in the food industry, but I do have the flavor of ADHD that would absolutely LOVE the work environment. There really is a special kind of zen you achieve when everything is on fire and you have to think on your feet all day. Plus the working times are fucked up and your diet consists of cigarettes, energy drinks and coke. That might not sound like an upside but if your life already is like that it really must be quite nice to have a job that conforms to it.
