Are birds using their sense of smell that much? I always thought they were pretty visual and auditory, with all their sexual dimorphic colors and songs and stuff? Doesn’t answer anything tho.

Isn’t that a way to wide of a topic? Sure, the whole “mushroom X gives you +3 working memory” is probably sketchy, but there is way to much going on in nutrition and health in general, right
Plus one for this question

Science@mander.xyz•Ordinary Lab Gloves May Have Skewed Microplastic Data
1·2 months agoBut that’s also a difficult question right, is there really an insignificant number of nano/microplastics in filtered air of filtered water? From what I’ve heard in cloud development, small particles can float along with water vapor, no clue how this would work in Destillation for instant.
I’m no expert on microplastics, but i do work in science so i do see papers getting around how plastics keep popping up in unexpected places. Sure a DM2 lab is expected to be super clean and safe and all, but idk. Maybe im also just a bit scared-biased

( Im not going to ask what his alma mater is because whatever he got taught in the past it has nothing to do with what he is saying)

Which games are slop nowadays?
Anyone knowledgeable about this stuff know anything about the length of the tail?
Hm, just to add: it take about memories from heart transplants, citing a paper that describes in a minority of cases in both heart and other organ transplants show changed in memories, making the “heart neurons do stuff” a bit less strong.
Also at some point it cites some kind of LinkedIn text that reeks of AI (double sections and unnecessary repetition), so imma call skepticism on this one.
Still agree that the gut and other things have an interesting amount of information to process (or be involved in metabolic/nutrition processes that are super important for good brain functioning, like the whole “a lot of serotonin is made in the gut” thing? But not convinced its comparable to the pretty elaborate neocortical Networks and conscious experience.
