In the name of christianity, they also burned thousands of books, leaving only 4 behind: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices

jungle reclaimed that land, hiding them. (mayan temples, for example.)
I bet you those half-buried mayan temples were THE spot where all mayan teenagers went to hang out.

So… they must have trained in using the “finger cot” technique.

Yeah, they also varied between spelling it “Columbia” and “Colombia” in the same article.
But I get it, there’s not a lot of money in popular science publishing so they may not even have a copy editor, at least those kinds of stories are still getting popularized and not just ‘ancient aliens’.

The funny thing is, I can’t even tell if you’re being serious or joking…

Great article. It’s worth remembering that DNA is only evidence that someone banged, and I imagine there’s a fair amount of contact that goes on before that.
A North American group from Colombia
I hope this person just meant to say “Native American”, and doesn’t really think Colombia is in North America.
(sorry, I’ve spent the last week proofreading articles…)

fam you coulda just quoted Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and said: “Like most intellectuals he is intensely stupid.”
- Comment on Is there a way out? 1 week ago:
Yeah I’m not buying it.
- in academia, there are a lot more mid- and low-tier academics (like me!) than there are high-tier academics, and there are plenty of lower-tier venues and lower-tier institutes. In these tiers, you’re not expected to publish at the highest levels.
- in higher-tier academia, once you get tenure (to be precise: once you submit your tenure package) the urgent need for high-impact journal cites is greatly reduced. you write books or something I dunno.
- industry scientists have far fewer publishing requirements. or they write articles for trade mags. One place I interviewed was actively hostile to publishing.
- government-lab scientists, I dunno, I think they write technical articles that they give their sponsors?
The dynamic that u/mIRNAexpert describes does exist, but it’s not the whole problem. And like any scientist will tell ya, figuring out the problem is half way to figuring out the solution.

- Comment on [Discussion\Request] - Link Previews images and Thumbnail URL function on lemmy.world 1 week ago:
Hi, someone else here, noting that even after the update you’re not guaranteed that a thumbnail will propagate.
Consider:
On the default web client, you should see thumbnails for the youtube videos on the first two links, but not on the third. There are various reasons for this, here’s an earlier investigation.
On some phone apps I think all 3 of those links resolve to your instance. Clients/apps handle things differently, and some even fetch their own thumbnails!
Finally, everything is evolving: instance servers are reconfigured, versions are updated, clients change, hosting servers change the way they do things, youtube changes things on its end, etc. So it’s a bit of a moving target.

Agreed. Besides industrial waste, old factories often have motion-detector silent alarms. If not, they may have squatters who may or may not be cool with intruders. If not, if you have some kind of medical emergency it might be months before you are found.
Comment-OP, minimal food’s not really necessary - one of the things about Gautama Buddha is that he gave up mortifying the flesh. And you definitely shouldn’t dehydrate yourself bc that can cause organ damage.

A scam center, fraud factory, fraud park, scam factory or scam compound is a collection of large fraud organizations usually involved in human trafficking operations, generally found in Southeast Asia and usually operated by a criminal gang. Scam center operators lure foreign nationals to scam hubs, where they are forced into modern slavery, to scam internet users around the world into fraudulently buying cryptocurrencies or withdrawing cash via social media and online dating apps.

- Comment on The Nine Circles of Scientific Hell 2 weeks ago:
I think III would be better titled “Post-Hoc Hypothesizing,” i.e. where you create (or change) your experiment’s hypothesis after the experiment - clearly that is wrong. “Post-hoc storytelling” sounds like what you do in the “implications” or “next steps” part of a paper. Also, exploratory studies have different standards, right? (I’ve never done an exploratory study.)
In the graphic, I thought “Non-Publication” and “Partial Publication” referred to experiments, i.e. where you run 4 experiments and only report on the last one, which “worked” – clearly that is wrong. However they are talking about data, which is a bit trickier. In some cases you can’t just upload all your data onto github; it may take a while because some sponsor or corporate office needs to review it before it can be released. A researcher may refuse to release their data until they finish writing a set of papers based on it. There may also be distribution limitations, or licensing requirements related to the data. I’m not trying to defend withholding data, just that these are the problems that need to be addressed.
Finally, to extend the metaphor, the “publish or perish” mentality is this image’s Satan.

How many universities will abandon free speech rights for 10% of their budget?
All of them. Of course they’ll frame it like “to enable our storied institution to continue performing our vital work, we are temporarily putting a moratorium on non-pre-approved meetings. Thank you for your understanding.”

Today many of you will learn a new word.
A kynodesmē (Greek: κυνοδέσμη, English translation: “dog tie”) was a cord or string[1] or sometimes a leather strip that was worn primarily by athletes in Ancient Greece and Etruria to prevent the exposure of the glans penis in public (considered to be ill-mannered) and to restrict untethered movement of the penis during sporting competition. It was tied tightly around the akroposthion, the most distal, tubular portion of the foreskin that extends beyond the glans. As depicted in Ancient Greek art the kynodesme was worn by some athletes, actors, poets, symposiasts and komasts. It was worn temporarily while in public and could be taken off and put back on at will. The remaining length of cord could either be attached to a waist band to pull the penis upward and expose the scrotum, or tied around the base of the penis and scrotum so that the penis appeared to curl upwards.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kynodesme (includes photographs)
In the context of the OP joke that would be a: jynodesmē.
click this if you dare
On that page you will also see links to learn about Kotekas (penis gourds) where you’ll learn: > Yali men favour long, thin kotekas that help hold up the multiple rattan hoops worn around their waists, whereas Lani men wear double gourds held up with strips of cloth and use the space between the two gourds for carrying small items such as money and tobacco. and Nambas (penis sheaths): > Two tribes on Malakula, the Big Nambas and the Smol (Small) Nambas, are named for the size of their nambas.
