Now if we can only get bots to do the same…

palordrolap, in The Hidden Brain Connections Between Our Hands and Tongues

Caution: This comment contains mildly infuriating party tricks.

Curious. This reminds me of the "Your tongue knows what things you look at will feel like" meme that did the rounds a while back. (If you missed it, it was literally that phrase, possibly with some kind of image.)

Reading the article, it also reminds me of the body confusion trick of moving the right foot around in a clockwise motion while trying to write the letter O a few times (which most people write anticlockwise). Most people will inadvertently reverse the rotation of their foot.

(Make necessary changes if you're left handed and/or write your O's clockwise.)

Or the two hands equivalent: Pointing away from yourself, move the tips of the index fingers around in a clockwise or anticlockwise motion, keeping the fingers parallel. Then, continuing the rotation, turn the hands inwards so that they point towards each other. If they're now both going over and away or over and towards, one of them has changed direction.

Midnitte, in Why Japan is building its own version of ChatGPT

I mean, from my understanding of Japanese, this makes sense. There's certain humor and puns that exist due to the usage of Kanji and its meaning (that typically get lost in translation).

Saturdaycat, in 265-million-year-old fossil reveals oldest, largest predator in South America, long before the rise of dinosaurs

This has me down the rabbit hole of the permian period

sonori, in Scientist shocks peers by 'tailoring' climate study
@sonori@beehaw.org avatar

I think the best part is how the journal told him he was focusing too much on climate change over other factors in peer review, he spends most of it trying to defend only accounting for climate change, then after publication comes out and goes on a media tour about how he was forced, forced i say to only include climate change by the journal, seemingly forgetting that the journals peer review comments are published alongside the paper.

This has big "I voted the general election in three states and then complained about voting security on Fox News" energy.

Simpsons did it first

AlwaysNowNeverNotMe, in The revolt against reality: Harassment of scientists is escalating
@AlwaysNowNeverNotMe@kbin.social avatar

They give conspiracy theorists a bad name.

Saganastic,

Did conspiracy theorists ever have a good name?

Sure back when it was the British and American aristocracies coming up with shadowy organizations that must have perpetrated the French revolution.

Doesn't seem to be tarnished when Smedly Butler unveiled the business plot, nor when the Pentagon papers leaked or evidence of MKULTRA was discovered. Then all the sudden right around the time they stopped teaching humanities at public schools all these groups appeared with very specific very laughable conspiracies they were blindly dedicated to.

And now it's just shorthand for pedophile racist.

zalack, in World's 1st 'tooth regrowth' medicine moves toward clinical trials in Japan - The Mainichi
@zalack@kbin.social avatar

Unless I'm misreading the article, right now this seems to just be regrowth for a very specific medical condition where teeth didn't come in in the first place?

The article mentions the possibility of stimulating growth in a latent third set of buds all adults have. But that doesn't seem to be what this specific breakthrough is.

@Somewhereunknown7351@kbin.social avatar

How else, they look like a combination of ducks and beetles.

What?

HeartyBeast, in Platipus doesn't have a stomach, why?

So was this written by AI or someone who can’t really write English?

Slightly more informative article with link to original paper: https://phys.org/news/2024-04-scientists-porous-material-greenhouse-gases.html

HeartyBeast, in For first time in a billion years, two lifeforms have merged into one

Pretty amazing story

rhythmisaprancer, in CDC Warns of Cow-to-Human Transmission of H5N1 Bird Flu in Texas
@rhythmisaprancer@kbin.social avatar

This isn't really exciting to read. I really appreciate the article handling this as strict information, it doesn't seem to have any loafed terms or forecasting in it. As you say, it is very accessible and probably the best way to digest this!

Thanks for sharing it. I am curious to see how this manifests.
