Just make sure to wash your hands, disinfect vegetables and cook meat thoroughly. Lots of parasites can be transmitted this way, it’s not just pork!
- Comment on Anon gets /fit/ 5 days ago:
Ohh, parasitology is fascinating! I highly recommend it for anyone who likes biology.
My absolute favorite are the tape worms like Taenia solium (pork tapeworm). It’s the type of worm that “ate” a portion of RFK’s brain. It wasn’t really a whole worm but it was probably an egg that he ate in undercooked meat that traveled up his body and calcified in his brain. As Rebecca Watson points out, it’s the leading cause of epilepsy worldwide.
Fun nerd facts: They have a spiky head that clings to the intestine and they absorb nutrients through their tegument (their skin). These fuckers are hermaphroditic with hundreds and hundreds of ovaries and testes within the same worm and the bodies are made of individual worm eggs that share a nervous system. That’s why they come apart so easily, because each segment is its own individual worm that can self-inseminate!

As much as I enjoy being your living couch, little kitty, I do need to eat every now and then!

You must be half-confused, then, there’s no other explanation
- Comment on Anon ends racism 1 week ago:
atheists are too narcissistic
Do you mean arrogant? Because I don’t think we’re narcissistic anymore than we’re self-assured
I’m not gonna try to convince you to change your mind, but I will say that a lot of us atheists hold similar beliefs in a strict sense within the scientific framework that makes us agnostics with every unknown. I think you’ve heard of people saying sarcastically that they’re agnostic of the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus, right?
In a practical sense we simply don’t need to pretend that we need absolute certainty with an omniscient-level of understanding to read between the lines of the reality that’s right in front of us. Take that as arrogance if you must, but there’s reason behind being this self-assured that doesn’t need to be conflated with a sweeping personality trait

Oh, thank god. I was sooo worried about Drake when I read that another man was shot.
- Comment on Checkmate, science 1 week ago:
Then why use plural people?
Because it happened in another thread I was reading. It’s a common pattern on Lemmy. Simple as.
You pre-emptively complained… then got upset
I did not pre-empted and I did not “complain”, and I certainly did not get upset 😂🤣 What is this.
You’re just willingly misinterpreting everything I did to paint a warped picture of me. Restrain yourself, please.
- Comment on Checkmate, science 1 week ago:
My hobby is to sigh at people who do that. You keep my hobby alive!
- Comment on Checkmate, science 1 week ago:
It’s a troll post in a meme sub. Idk what to tell you… Sure, I guess?
- Comment on Checkmate, science 1 week ago:
You realize I responded when there was only one comment, right? 🙄
- Comment on Checkmate, science 1 week ago:
Hold up, I’m not shaming anybody who wants to think things through. You’re more than welcome to, as you do in your regular day to day. I just think it’s funny that people feel the need to over explain anything and everything on Lemmy even the troll stuff they see in a shitpost, which is very different. Don’t overload my comment with a take, please, that’s not what I’m doing.
- Comment on Checkmate, science 1 week ago:
Me sighing as people akshually comment explaining the obvious in a meme sub. 😅
- Comment on Trans community ally 2 weeks ago:
Reminds me of the time I was at a trans camp as a young cis gay ally. A woman walks up to me and says, “since when have you been transitioning?” and I scoffed at the thought of assuming anything about anyone, especially at an LGBT+ camp. She thought I was scoffing at being confused for a trans guy. We didn’t speak for the rest of the event because she thought I was being weird. 🤷♂️

Well, I ain’t got no small D that’s not on a keyboard! I save the big D for those special friends ;)
- Comment on Why are male social workers so different? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think you’re imagining things at all. In my experience, women and gay men tend to be more empathetic.
That said, I just wonder how those men CMS behave towards other men, and how different you’d be treated by women CMSs if you were a man.
Also, I found this review that compares the differences in empathy between males and females[*]. I don’t have the time or energy for it, but it could be a place to start if you want to learn about the research on this.

Yeah, I was gonna say, playing dirty is one thing. Making great business decisions without stepping on people for profit is another thing entirely.

- Comment on I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt? 2 weeks ago:
You know, I’ve wondered that myself! It’s mind-blowing to me when people say they’re back at where they started. So I suspect it has to be at the genetic level to keep you at a certain weight. Here’s a talk by Dr. Giles Yeo (neuroendocrinologist) making the case for it.

doesn’t your body go into Ketosis?
Yes, ketosis happens within a few days of limiting sugar intake.
I didn’t think Ketones were a sugar.
You’re right, they’re very different molecules. Ketone bodies can be converted into sugars by the enzymes in the liver if your body needs them, but they’re not sugars themselves.
- Comment on I just heard about Brazilian Butt Lifts which is a procedure where they take fat deposits from somewhere on your body and place it in your butt? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, ketone bodies are the result of the beta-oxydation of triglycerides. It’s the way the body breaks down fat into molecules that it can either burn or tranform into other molecules like sugar. The Atkins and ketogenic diets are legit, but it can be risky and you can harm your body (like your kidneys) without professional guidance.
