  • Correlation implies causation

    Jump

  • Please cite some sources that show that infrasound causes/exacerbates dizziness or disorientation (or see my other comments in this thread). There is no conclusive evidence to support negative health effects from infrasound.

  • The Kapoor article cited many other studies that actually looked at audible sound and noise pollution. It also cited several articles that conclude that evidence of symptoms directly related to infrasound exposure are mostly case studies and anecdotal evidence and that more research is needed. The authors even state in the article itself, “It is still not unambiguously established that low-level exposure to infrasound always leads to adverse consequences at the organ, tissue, cellular and molecular level.”

    As for the Zhaohui article, please consider this article that discusses how average infrasound that we are exposed to day to day (even from sources such as regular passenger cars) exceeds the thresholds that are said to induce negative myocardial effects.

    Can Infrasound from Wind Turbines Affect Myocardial Contractility? A critical Review

    Just because it’s being talked about on youtube does not mean the research backs it up.

    Many studies on infrasound are related to wind turbines, which produce a similar level of infrasound to data centers. Consider the following study that found no link between infrasound and negative health effects:

    The Health Effects of 72 Hours of Simulated Wind Turbine Infrasound: A Double-Blind Randomized Crossover Study in Noise-Sensitive, Healthy Adults

    And multiple large scale reviews done by governmental organizations across the world:

    Understanding the Evidence: Wind Turbine Noise

    The Potential Health Impact of Wind Turbines

    Infrasound Does Not Explain Symptoms Related to Wind Turbines

    Infrasound is generated by both natural sources (ex: severe weather, ocean waves, whales) and man-made sources (ex: data centers, wind turbines, diesel engines). Despite the recent discussion around data centers, infrasound exposure is not new, and has not been shown to cause negative health effects.

    Fuck data centers and every negative environmental and societal effect they have (including established issues with audible noise pollution). However, health impacts from infrasound are not one of them.

  • Please cite sources for this claim? Infrasound has not been shown to have “proven negative impact.” That is fear-mongering on par with “wifi makes people sick.”

  • Meet Orion, the handsome fella I'm going to adopt!

    Jump

  • I had a cat named Orion who I also adopted as a kitten! He was with me for 14 years and passed away recently. He was so handsome, funny, and just full of love for everyone. Wishing you as many happy years with your Orion as I had with mine ❤️

  • Residents who live near data centers say a constant low-frequency vibration is ruining their health and homes

    Jump

  • I have to agree, sadly. I’m a huge fan of Benn Jordan’s work but I read the Masley post last time this topic came up and even looked at the original sources that Benn cites. There really isn’t any credible research out there to show that infrasound has negative health effects. Fuck data centers in general, but yeah, this argument lacks high quality data to support it.

    How can I remove AI Image descriptions from Voyager client?

  • I also see these and agree that they do seem to be AI. Here is an example:

  • Thank you! Me too, it’s so adorable and ridiculous

  • He actually put his feet in there in his own, if you’d believe it. He would do that to my slippers now and then when I took them off. I guess warm + stinky = yay haha

  • Those who have ever taken medications for depression or anxiety, how long before it started working from your experience?

    Jump

  • There actually are other options for treatment-resistant depression, which is defined as depression that has little or no response to standard treatments like antidepressants.

    • Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): uses magnetic currents to stimulate the brain while awake, typically provided 5x per week for 6 weeks (although there are now newer protocols that are much shorter in duration)
    • Ketamine: a general anesthetic drug typically provided via a nose spray 1-2 times per week for 8 weeks
    • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT): uses electricity to induce a small seizure in the brain under sedation, typically provided 2-3 times per week for 3-4 weeks

    Source: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/depression/in-depth/treatment-resistant-depression/art-20044324

    I try to spread the word about these treatments when I can because TMS helped me immensely after trying just about every antidepressant out there with no luck.

  • Trump Wrecked In Devastating Poll As Most Americans Say He’s ‘Worse Than Biden’ — With Whopping 18 Point Swing

  • I see! Thank you

  • Trump Wrecked In Devastating Poll As Most Americans Say He’s ‘Worse Than Biden’ — With Whopping 18 Point Swing

    Jump

  • I’m stupid, can someone help me understand how we calculate the 18 point swing?

    Just after Trump was inaugurated last February, the result was 58 percent saying Trump was doing a better job than Biden

    But in the new poll, 51 percent said Trump is doing a worse job than President Biden did — a net swing of 18 points

    2025 poll 58% say Trump > Biden

    2026 poll 49% say Trump > Biden (aka 100 - 51)

    58-49 = 9 point swing?

  • Do you have a "GroundNews" subscription, and if so what has the experience been like? Would you recommend it?

    Jump

  • I used the free version for around a year. I would look at it daily and I felt it had a decent range of content. However, I started to notice factual errors with the summaries of the articles (which I assume are created by AI). This made me worried about all the times I didn’t notice errors and just learned incorrect information and possibly even repeated it to others. I’ve stopped using it and I’m looking for an alternative.
