- Comment on Sea snail teeth top Kevlar, titanium as world’s strongest material 1 day ago:
You’re forgetting that “strength” has a formalized engineering definition, which is the amout of force (not energy or impact) a material can resist before deforming or breaking.
The other 2 properties you’re alluding to are hardness (force needed per unit of deformation) and toughness (energy absorbed before deforming or breaking. All of these are important factors when choosing materials for a particular use case.
The article is comparing the material to kevlar and spider silk, which suggests that they’re referring to tensile strength, which is a proper use case. It isn’t the paper’s fault that your are incorrectly conflating “strongest” with “best”. What’s best for any particular use case is going to be dependent on design requirements.

Also I’m not gonna look it up to confirm but that ketoacidosis explanation sounds like a grave misunderstanding of what it is.
Honestly not sure how I should respond to this. I’d rather you either research it yourself and call me out or simply nod and follow along. But you chose this weird middle ground.

Just Works™ technology has a lot of value (assuming the thing does in fact just work).
And that assumption is unfounded in Apple’s case. My parents have constant issues with their iPhones that you would never get on Android. But my mom is convinced that it’s easier to use than Android despite never having tried Android

Sugar is also acidic. Not enough to kill you, but that’s why ketoacidosis kills people. It also increases blood viscosity, making it pump harder and causing hypertension. Plus, it causes chronic inflammation, which calcifies triglycerides in your blood to form clots.
Sugar has tons of negative effects.

Also significantly fewer roaches. In my experience they’re more common in the south due to the warmer weather

Pathfinder 2e literally has bioluminescence bombs that’s just jarred firefly juice that’s secreted by humanoid fey that resemble the bugs

It’s also humans continually expanding and building in previously undeveloped areas. It crowds out other species.
30 years ago it didnt matter if you raked your leaves because there were still plenty of areas for lightning bugs to migrate in from. But when everyone’s surrounded by miles of suburbs the lightning bugs have further to go for you to see them

Tangential fact: syphillis originated in the Americas, likely from llamas. It’s the only instance of a transmittable disease to be imported to the old world.
This also makes me a bit annoyed at the show 'Apothecary Diaries" as it depicts syphillis existing in China in the 700AD

Same. I gave Tunic a fair shot until I had to use a guide to get further due to the devs cheaply hiding a teleport gate in the map. Plus the spirit gauntlet was its own bit of bs

Oh, and harikari usually has a helper.
Other way around. Seppuku is the whole ritual, which includes the helper. But if you just gut yourself out in the woods with no ceremony, it’s harikiri

‘Sentient’ is a bit of a stretch. ‘Living’ or ‘moving’ would be closer.
Comparing the brains of bugs to animals that are considered sentient (such as humans, dolphins, corvids, etc) is like comparing Hello World to an AGI
