  • Entropy? Never heard of it.

  • I think the intention is that the switch is not going to be immediate, and so there will be a stretch of time where some places use renewable sources of energy and some places still use non-renewables. There's nothing you can do if your neighbor doesn't switch, other than to try to capture their carbon output

  • There's a specific life history strategy called semelparity, which is what you're describing (breeding once then dying). To my understanding, this is incentivized if the chances of getting a second attempt to breed are too low, and so it becomes more evolutionarily advantageous to simply go all out on the first attempt

  • Same vibe as Cato in the Roman Senate: ml delenda est

  • Since America's namesake Amerigo Vespucci was an immigrant, what should the United States of America be renamed to? (no wrong answers)

    Jump

  • There's actually debate over whether America was actually named after Amerigo Vespucci. My understanding is that it was likely just a coincidence that his name is so similar to America. As I understand it, it was actually named after a tribe of native Americans. But native Americans don't pass the Republican scale of whiteness, so they'll probably try to rename America anyways. I'm calling it now: they're going to rename it to Trumpia

    Do we need administrators and moderators to manage our conversations for us?

  • You might need to be more specific on what you're asking

  • til chips contain a known carcinogen, acrylamide

    Jump

  • Acrylamide is also a persistent neurotoxin, meaning that it can't be flushed out of your body and any acrylamide that you collect in your body will just continue to collect

  • Beyond that, it's not even a social concept. People naturally attribute more weight to their first time doing anything. That's not a social pressure or a social concept, that's a logical conclusion of the fact that, till that point in their lives, they have not experienced anything resembling it.

    People remember their first time riding a bicycle, their first time leaving home, their first job, etc. Are all of these social constructs too?

  • You've intrigued me, so I'll bite. What do you think "no sympathy for racists" is a euphemism for?

  • Chubbyemu was talking about how the mushroom is just the fruiting body of the fungus, similar to flowers in a plant. The only purpose of the mushroom is to reproduce and spread spores.

    Also, the video was about poisoning by eating too many toxic mushrooms

  • It seems to me that the wording itself is unimportant, but rather the intention. So I would imagine no

  • Have you ever figured out someone's kink through the media they create?

    Jump

  • I think we can relatively easily figure out what kinks the author of Fifty Shades of Gray has

  • Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years?

    Jump

  • On the contrary, the above comment gives actionable advice and explains why you're wrong without using insulting language. This is perhaps the most constructive feedback you'll get

  • If it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that we were living in a simulation what would be your next move?

    Jump

  • Have you heard of Roko's Basilisk? Basically, if we were in a simulation, it's best not to acknowledge it

  • PI = principal investigator, or the leader of the lab. Also known as the professor. The closest comparison to regular jobs would be that the PI is the manager. They typically no longer do actual lab work and typically fulfill a role that is entirely managerial, so they're often removed from and therefore entirely oblivious to goings-on of the lab. It's a somewhat common occurrence for lab members to have a concern that the PI dismisses because they're unaware of the severity of the concern, or for the PI to have a concern that lab members have already addressed
