- Comment on Is it true that the natural lifespan of humans is only 38 years old and we only live past that because of loads of modern medicines/technology? 2 days ago:
It’s saying 38 is basically the maximum lifespan of a human and the only reason we live past 38 is due to unnatural interventions ie medicines

Life expectancy can be affected by things like infant deaths, disease, etc.
lifespan is the age an animal is designed to live for. The study (which was published in Nature btw) implies that humans reaching past 38 is unnatural and only a result of luck and modern technology.

According to the article it’s not about life expectancy, but that the lifespan of 38 is hardcoded into our DNA/Telomeres

- Comment on Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose? 3 months ago:
TIL. I’ve heard a similar thing about certain smells being closely tied with the memory centre in the brain.

No, sneezing, as in the photic sneeze reflex. If I look at the sun by accident I’ll sneeze.

Would inclusivity to people with disabilities/medical safety be included in those regulations?

Yeah I really can’t see how they could bring him back in a way that seems plausible. Really enjoyed Carrey’s performance though

- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 4 months ago:
I’m skinny and I’ll pass out in less than an hour. Have severe POTS from EDS, heart went into asystole after 35 minutes into a tilt table test and they had to put me back down. I’ve passed out several times in other settings.
- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 4 months ago:
It can even be dangerous for some people to be in a standing position for too long. I have a severe case of POTS caused by a genetic disorder. My heart stopped during a tilt table test, which is where I was forced to remain in a standing position. If I’m expected to pay more for a normal seat just because I’m disabled, that’s ableism.
- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 4 months ago:
Why should I have to be forced to pay more for sitting seats just because I have a disability? We shouldn’t be normalising this.
- Comment on Low quality cropping will officially launch on Lemmy in 2025 4 months ago:
What about people like myself who have POTS and can’t be in a standing position for too long? My heart can legit stop causing me to pass out if I’m standing for too long.
