🧵 Hangovers
Anonymous at Fri, 12 Jul 2024 18:21:01 UTC No. 16279069
Are people who claim they never get hangovers full of shit? I feel like I hear this from some people as a way to subtly brag and front that they’re tough or something (usually women actually). I know that genetics have a huge impact on the severity of your hangovers but I refuse to believe that anyone is completely immune to them.
My theory is that they:
A. Aren’t drinking enough
B. Confuse being buzzed with being shithoused drunk
Or C. Are just lying if you’ve never drank with them.
Had an ex who claimed she didn’t and I told her she just wasn’t drinking enough, to which she claimed that booze doesn’t affect her that much so I said okay lemme help ya. Proceeded to get her absolutely sauced and lo and behold a rough hangover was in store for her.
I struggled with alcoholism severely a few years back - horrible withdrawals, had to taper off with benzos, the usual. And I know that when you’re an alkie, you kinda just live in a state of being perpetually hungover to the point that you don’t really notice it as much because you already feel like dogshit from your liver shriveling up.
Hangovers are something that have puzzled humans ever since trogs found out drinking the yucky juice from old rotten fruits = fun.
Alcohol and Acetaldehyde are literal poisons so I don’t buy that someone could have some innate 100% immunity to these toxins. Makes me wonder, if there is some genetic predisposition to being immune to these toxins (physiologically), would that man there are other poisons that people would be immune to as well? No matter what, severe dehydration and gastritis are gonna make you feel like shit.
What’s your take?

Did you know that boys get worse grades because female teachers give them worse grades because they are boys and girls get higher grades because they are girls? That means that the reason why there is less male enrollment, it's because women give them worse grades and education in general because of their gender based bias.
We are truly in dark ages for science. And it will get worse over time

🧵 How harmful is sunlight for you really?

Mainstream health advice is telling us that any amount of sun exposure is harmful and carcinogenic and therefore we should wear sunscreen or UV blocking clothing at all times. The US and Australian governments officially endorse this belief, and probably other governments as well I can't remember at the moment.
How true is it really?
I have trouble believing that any amount of sun exposure is potentially harmful considering how modern this view is. For millennia people did not all die of skin cancer and many thought sun exposure was good for you. While health authorities sometimes accept that some amount of sun exposure is good for you, they always say it's only a little bit of sun exposure and insist you still wear sunscreen.
Something else I know is that in the past several decades myopia rates have been greatly increasing, and myopia can be caused by a lack of time outside. Could our discouragement of going outside be causing myopia?

C is a particle or singularity with a lower gravitational strength while B has a higher one D is the boundary function of the influence of those particles F are sensors that measure the particle emitted by g which is a radioactive isotope like Cesium 137 thorium bismuth etc from different perspectives E is a device which entnangles measured photons from that particles so that one particle is entangled with itself from the past where the dominant entanglement lies within the future particle so that the flow of time is now reversed

I recently came across this website that compiles proofs of the irrationality of square root of two or some generalizations of that results, what's your favorite one? Mine has to be the first one by Richard Dedekind, seems so elegant and doesn't rely on too much number theory.
Here's the compilation: https://www.cut-the-knot.org/proofs

🧵 Giant Thermal Mass

Would keeping a giant thermal mass in my living room help regulate house temperature?
I'm thinking that during the evening I could run the AC on full blast and cool down the thermal mass. It would be less energy intensive to run at this time and also less expensive rate wise.
Then during the day the giant thermal mass could help cool the air.

Retard here, I have several questions for Grandiose projects and also physics, engineering questions.
So they talk about Florida and Louisiana sinking into the Ocean, but what if we dug a really deep trench off the coast of Louisiana and Florida respectively, to train the water into? Is the Ocean just to big for that to work, could we use the dirt dug up from the Ocean trench to raise the altitude of Florida and Louisiana?
Second question, would it be Feasible to dig and Underground canal Across the Continental United States? Why underground? To avoid the Ecological damage that would ensue from splitting the U.S. in half.
Why don't we make Satellites that are Spherical and Spinning as to Produce gravity?

Philosophy is a stem Field.
Because philosophy created foundation of all stem fields(logic and analysis). Philosophy created scientific method and we can trace all of our stem fields to the philosophy. All stem fields use mathematics that is applied philosophy in a numerical(philosophical concept) way. That's the reason science was called natural philosophy. Proof me wrong
