palordrolap, in Unraveling the Mystery of Human Taillessness: A Genetic Perspective

CRISPR tail growing therapy when?

Just kidding. Not sure I want a tail. Hairy or hairless it wouldn't look right at all.

Is there maybe a better link than facebook?

HeartyBeast, in Why do some animals have 'virgin births'?

More interesting to frame it the other way around really - why would some organisms reproduce using this dangerous, complex, uncertain process called sex

Rpmkp, in Inside the Proton, the ‘Most Complicated Thing’ Imaginable

@HeartyBeast this is a fascinating article. It’s mind blowing to think that the fundamental component making up most of the physical universe is just a chaotic probability field of chaotically moving quarks and antiquarks.

milkytoast, in Prosthetic limb device enables users to ‘sense’ temperature difference
@milkytoast@kbin.social avatar

can people with prosthetics feel stuff? are we at that point technologically? if so, how precisely? with my fleshy fingers I can tell the difference between glass and less smooth surfaces, or even a hair ir some dust, but I doubt prosthetics would be at such s point

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a bunch of cherry shrimp in a bed of Java moss?

wildncrazyguy, in 1st look at asteroid Bennu samples suggests space rock may even be 'a fragment of an ancient ocean world'

Any chance it could be a fragment of Theia?

Pieces of Earth was do doubt also flung about.

Hyperreality, in Scientists Identify The Optimal Number of Daily Steps For Longevity, And It's Not 10,000

Causality.

Some people aren't unhealthy because they don't walk enough, they don't walk enough because they're unhealthy or have an underlying condition.

Someone in a coma ain't walking much, but that's not the main reason they're more likely to die sooner rather than later.

I don't understand why they use steps. Who counts steps? It is more individualized than a distance, but my gosh, who is out there saying 4,981, 4,982, ...? I know roughly the distance of my pace and could convert.

It really sounds like we need folks to get out and do it, tho!

For adults aged 60 and older, this reduced risk topped out at around 6,000 to 8,000 steps a day. Pushing further might have other benefits, but a reduced chance of death isn't one.

The study found that those who are younger could do well to walk a little more, but there wasn't evidence that they'd necessarily live longer by walking more than 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day.

As for the rate of steps, the team found volume is what really matters.
