Huh okey guess this is a thing, interesting https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonsense_suppressor

Yeah Wikipedia is my source what about it

Uhh why would it be advantageous to express phage genes with a nonsense mutation? I’m confused

I know otters blow bubbles into their fur to isolate themselves, but this also makes them extra buoyant. For the babies this is quite handy (less drowning etc) but for adults idk if it really helps.

It really depends on the fur texture probably, seals are also coated in fur but streamlined to perfection.

Nevermind, a paper looking into if sediments might act as “lubricant” for subducting plates!

The atmosphere sure changed a lot because of life, which might have had its effects on incoming solar radiation? Which might have changed the temperatures of some ocean currents/continental plates? I don’t think it would differ significantly

Need it for food 7/10

Damn, interesting! And that chemist sounding name sure does add extra credibility

Just thought about this, isn’t it a bit silly that we all use milli Ah while all the values are above the thousands? Like, 5000 mAh is just 5 Ah

Nah sorry just kidding around, I think you stumbled upon a classic philosophical problem. You cannot 100% truly know that your senses are correct. I agree with ChatGPT on pragmatism here: you can try proving it all you want, you will never get there. Better to just look at all those pretty flowers nature created in this weird universe!

The philosophical question you’re raising is known as solipsism, which is the idea that one can only be sure of the existence of their own mind and not of anything external to it. While it’s an interesting concept to explore, proving the absolute reality of the external world can be challenging.

Philosophers have debated these questions for centuries, and there isn’t a definitive answer. However, there are some common responses and arguments:

Pragmatism: While you might not be able to prove the absolute reality of the external world, it is generally more practical and beneficial to assume its existence. The way we navigate and interact with the world is based on the assumption that it is real.

Consensus Reality: The fact that multiple people can agree on the existence of certain things suggests a shared reality. If others can perceive and interact with the same objects or events as you do, it adds weight to the argument that there is an external reality.

Scientific Method: Science provides a systematic way of understanding the world through observation, experimentation, and verification. While it may not provide absolute certainty, the scientific method has proven to be a reliable way to gain knowledge about the external world.

Testability: While you may question the authenticity of your perceptions, you can still make predictions and test them against your experiences. For example, if you drop an object, you can predict that it will fall, and when it does, it provides some validation of the external reality.

Regarding your doubt about whether people are real or if the responses are from AI, the same principles can apply. If there is consistency in responses, coherence in conversations, and a shared understanding among users, it adds credibility to the reality of the interaction.

It’s important to note that these responses don’t necessarily provide absolute certainty but offer practical and reasonable ways to engage with the external world. The nature of reality is a complex and debated topic in philosophy, and there may never be a conclusive answer.

I try my best to understand it better and change the little things I can. I know that won’t change the world much so it isn’t very fulfilling. Anyways I often think “at least it wasn’t my fault and I tried”.

In the same position as you, I’m quite privileged living here in Europe, if it all goes to shit I will be fine. I hope I can make the world more fair for everyone anyways.

I have it, like it. Works well but no headphone jack is kinda weird. My screen does have a ghost input issue though which is very common for these phones. Recent update kinda fixed it but yeah its a hardware issue mainly so that sucks.
