  1. Can this be pinned somewhere? Seems too interesting to be buried. Thanks @rebornsteve & @sickofallthebollocks
  2. Blood The dark side of Electric Vehicles:
  3. Hey mate. Just another thought. Think about dog breeding - i.e. how quickly you can fuck around with dog breeds over a relatively short period of time. It's selective breeding, with the pressure being applied by the breeder. But pretty quickly you can go from wild wolf to some weird fkn poodle thing. So just imagine what can happen over tens of millions of years with the relentless pressure of natural selection at work. You did mention you need a huge timescale, and you're right. That's the point.
  4. Yoiu couldn't make it up... ‘hybrids’ will become more frequent https://theconversation.com/should-we-worry-about-the-xe-variant-maybe-not-yet-but-hybrids-will-become-more-frequent-as-covid-evolves-180672 Oh, wait, you could.
  5. So he's basically describing brave new world book, with a touch of venus project to it (but not the good part).
  6. You said the disease exists. What you're describing here is not a new disease. It's targeted poisoning. So actually the disease doesn't exist.
  7. "Inspired partly by his love of dogs and his belief in their moral sense, Darwin became involved in a campaign to regulate animal experiments. He was convinced of the importance of experimental physiology, but wanted measures taken to protect animals from cruelty. In Descent, he remarked on the capacity of dogs to love in the face of such cruelty: "everyone has heard of the dog suffering under vivisection, who licked the hand of the operator; this man, unless he had a heart of stone, must have felt remorse to the last hour of his life." (Descent 1: 40) https://www.darwinproject.ac.uk/commentary/curious/darwin-and-dogs
  8. "Before we can do the things we want to, there's something we all need to do first." "First things first."
  9. "Other things being equal, simpler explanations are generally better than more complex ones" - Occam's razor Standard cold & flu symptoms, common hayfever symptoms, and literally no symptoms at all, are being used to convince ignorant fucktards across the world that a new disease exists.
  10. Western Australia: Close to 80 per cent of State triple-vaxxed Western Australia: More people are in hospital with the virus Sheep: Better get my fourth dose. Need to stay safe. https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/coronavirus/covid-19-hospital-numbers-up-in-western-australia-but-overall-infections-down-c-6408642
  11. The disease exists - based on what evidence exactly?
  12. @webtrekker It's worthy for this thread...
  13. Maybe, but who cares. You need to #PrayForUkraine or you will be deducted 5 virtue points and 15 carbon credits.
  14. In the old days, you could much more easily escape to remote rural farms or something. But with increasing urbanisation and technology, that's getting harder and harder.
  15. I agree that the history of 'junk dna' has been a bit of a mess. I admit I never liked the term, just because I don't like the assumption behind it, but I'm glad we are now finding out more about it. As for Perry: 1) DNA is not merely a molecule with a pattern; it is a code, a language, and an information storage mechanism. Yes, of course, that's why it's a fascinating area of study. 2) All codes are created by a conscious mind; there is no natural process known to science that creates coded information. Yes there is. It's called biological evolution. DNA is actually one of the things that supports evolutionary theory the most. 3) Therefore DNA was designed by a mind. That's an intellectual leap of faith. Basically, "it's complicated, therefore it must have been..." It's a logical fallacy ( https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Logical_fallacy ).
  16. Hi mate, welcome. As for your comment, "it is only on this huge time scale this thing can make some kind of sense", that's true. It does take a long amount of time for changes to occur. The best evidence we have indicates life has been around 3.7 billion to 3.5 billion years. However, shit got really interesting 541-485 million years ago (The Cambrian Period). As always, there is some scientific debate still going on about the finer details of that period, which keeps things fresh, but overall: Here's a documentary you may enjoy: A lot of tension arises when science and religion get mixed up. These resources below were designed to try and ease some of that tension: Anyway, hope you found some of that useful.
  17. Let them enjoy their #PrayForUkraine hashtag. Bloody pathetic sheep.
  18. I should have clarified. I used to care, I don't anymore. I have given up on the brain dead masses.
  19. 911, false flag. Covid, fraud Moon landings, happened, Apollo hoax claims all debunked. Energy prices, welcome to capitlism bro. Round earth? The proper term is spherical and we've known that Earth is spherical for at least 2,500 years.
  20. As for junk DNA, if it was discovered and thought to not be important, then later evidence showed it to be more important, then I don't get the point. All that shows is science working like it should. We discover something, we don't quite understand it, then more evidence comes in and we adjust our views accordingly. As for Electrical Engineer Perry Marshall, what has an electrical engineer got to do with professional biology? No disrespect. And a proper source for the quote would be helpful. Thanks in advance. Edit: One thing for sure, it seems to strike a nerve. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/feb/24/scientists-attacked-over-junk-dna-claim
  21. You're a champion! Looks awesome!
