It depends what you mean. Testosterone makes a difference. It improves blood oxygen levels and cardio capacity, and it increases strength (it's a steroid).
And depending on the context, the difference is larger. Men tend to have stronger hand grip than women for example, to the extent, there is very little overlap. But if you look at leg strength, the distributions are different, but they overlap significantly. And when you start to look at things like long distance endurance events, the distributions are even closer.
However, none of those things align with "men" or "women". They align with "the dominant sex hormone in your body", and your capacity shifts as your sex hormones shift.
That's not an answer, because if life is common, then the chance of us being the first is minuscule.
Lets say that life can only form around main sequence G type stars (ie, like our sun). There is no reason to believe this is true, but lets say it is for this example. The universe is 14 billion years old, and the sun is 4.5 billion years old. Lets round it to 4 billion years old when life first formed.
Now, the earliest G type stars formed approximately 1 billion years after the universe formed. Lets say that life can only develop when those stars were at least 4 billion years old. That puts the earliest possible scenario where life formed at 5 billion years after the universe formed, and that was 9 billion years ago. Low balling it, there are approximately 7 billion g type main sequence stars current in our galaxy.
All together, that means the chance of us simply being the first is very low, and if we are the first, then life isn't common, and if life isn't common, the underlying reason for that is the answer to the fermi paradox.
Steam? Though I'm not sure I'm loving it... 22 years now... But it worked back then, it still works now, and it hasn't lost itself to enshitification. It even followed me to linux.
I learned to skate as a teenager, and would break in to the local high school on weekends to skate in the quadrangle. I'd line up the old wooden seats and jump them, and jump down flights of stairs... I was crazy...
Then I basically stopped skating for many years until I took up roller derby, and the old skating skills came in useful. I couldn't do half the stuff I used to be able to do, but it still gave me a big grounding for derby
On the fediverse, there is no central "fire hose", no central source of "every post from everyone". Rather, when someone makes a post, the instance the post was created on looks at the list of people following the person making the post, and sends a copy of the content to all of those instances.
When someone boosts a post, the original post is sent to all instances that have people following the person doing the boosting.
And that's basically it.
So if you're on a single person instance, the only content you will see is the content created by or boosted by people you follow. No other content makes it to your instance, so your "global feed" and your "home feed" look the same.
On a big instance with lots of users, the global feed is just a master list of all of the public content that makes up all of the home feeds of the users on the instance. So the more users, the more content in the global feed.
And when you follow a hashtag, the only content you see is hashtag content that made it to the global feed. So if no one on your server follows a particular person, none of their hashtag content will make it to your instance.
Relays are a fire hose. Every instance that adds a relay sends all of its public content to the relay. And in turn, the relay sends back all public content it receives from every instance subscribed to the relay. So if you're a single user instance, and you subscribe to a relay, your global feed will look very different to your home feed, because the relay will be sending you content from all of the instances subscribed to that relay!
tags.pub is a garden hose instead of a fire hose. It's a way of getting filtered content from a relay, so that only content that matches the hashtags you or your admin have subscribed to make it to your instance. The other main difference between tags.pub and a typical relay is that individual users can subscribe to a tag on the tags.pub relay, and get content from it even if their instance admin hasn't added it as a relay.
