@cybelethebest Advanced maternal age at the time of giving birth is known to decrease how long the offspring will live and their fecundity

Geriatric pregnancies are higher risk. The point you want to make is that the *absolute* risk is still quite low, a large majority of mothers and babies will be ok even at the highest maternal ages. And it’s never risk-free at any age. But the increase in risks is real, no need to deny this.

@xdotli You just got them 100K views tho They are playing 4K checkers here.

if you are putting ads on an airship consider not using the biggest font for your competitor

@cybelethebest Are they with a healthy person in a healthy family dynamic? Beyond maybe increased risks I dont know that I would care at all and I might even be happy about it, definitely strongly preferred I think to having first baby at 35-40

Would any of you guys who are bemoaning the decrease in teen pregnancies wish for your own daughters to get pregnant at like 16 or 17?

@holisticgrenade Source? Doubt it.

Modern society has convinced women to desire expensive purses more than families. The majority of modern women say they would rather have a boyfriend that cheats on them and buys them expensive things than a husband who is loyal to them and provides stability to their family. Society is cooked.

@NitroEggs this seems insane I love it. Please keep in contact, I have ideas for you. I've had very similar ideas

@AncestralHealtz Look up the term: supernormal stimuli

Your urge to conquer, track and hunt never left you. It just got hijacked by game developers.

@andrewmccalip Cool story Niel DeGrass GPT

Less than 100 miles away, about 50 tons of steel and copper are spinning at exactly 3,600 RPM. A giant rotor slews magnetic fields through copper windings and, per Faraday and Maxwell, induces a synchronized 60 Hz sine wave across an entire grid. That electromagnetic wave propagates through grain oriented silicon steel, laminated transformer cores, kilometers of aluminum conductor steel reinforced cable, SF₆ insulated switchgear, substations switching hundreds of kilovolts, distribution transformers, oxygen free copper wiring, silicon MOSFETs, ferrites, multilayer ceramic capacitors, and the USB C cable plugged into my phone. There, power feeds a capacitive touchscreen. A transparent matrix of indium tin oxide is deposited on glass. The controller continuously scans the grid. My finger changes the mutual capacitance by a fraction of a picofarad, perturbing the local electric field just enough for dedicated analog front ends to detect before software reconstructs the touch. Iron ore. Bauxite. Silica sand. Copper ore. Lithium brines. Rare earths. Refined. Alloyed. Crystallized. Doped. Implanted. Deposited. Etched. Polished. We purified sand into nearly perfect single crystal silicon, grew boules, sliced wafers, placed dopant atoms with nanometer precision, fabricated chips containing tens of billions of transistors, synchronized them with clocks billions of times per second, and engineered them to execute matrix multiplications at a scale no human could comprehend. Somewhere along the way, matmuls started to look like us. That is an astonishing thought. The towers of abstraction are staggering. No one person built this. No one person fully understands it. Yet every morning millions of people wake up tired, answer emails, argue over specifications, chase margins, fix defects, make payroll, and try to cover their mortgages. Somehow the whole machine keeps humming. A planetary Swiss watch assembled from physics, markets, bureaucracy, ambition, error, and human necessity. And after all of that, I touch a piece of conductive glass and step into the Roman forum of modern thought, where millions of minds test ideas against one another in real time. Clockwork humanity. It staggers the mind.

@_coldbloom The cinematography on this needs to be admired with a second watch. A third watch is justified to contemplate how someone with the skill, means, and focus to produce this would also somehow know the character they are portraying well enough to do it.

this is how my mom and dad met 💕

@PRlNCESSKlNK It's a legal way to discriminate against fucked up individuals, i.e dog moms.

@walterwhitepill Why is the fertility rate so low.

For those asking: My wife and baby were entirely healthy, we had no C-section we had no time in the NICU we stayed two nights in the hospital. A healthy and problem free birth.

Finance IQ Test I owe $13,000 in medical debt for the birth of my son (after insurance on a Silver Blue Cross Blue Shield plan). I have two options from the hospital: 1. Payment plan, 36 months at 0% interest 2. Pay in full by Aug 1st for a 20% discount 3. Not pay

@SeweS_ Eggs are the best source of choline, and if pasture also good source of MK4 among other things. But sometimes eggs for children is difficult. This solves it. Extreme high egg yolk noodles: has more nutrients and protein than a whole egg.

PSA: guys give your pregnant wives choline supplements. Also expose your kids to choline when they hit six months. Give them red meat. It turbo-boosts brain development. Choline Supplementation in Pregnancy: Current Evidence and Implications - PMC share.google/GZu1QwPU8fbfKW…

@foundmyfitness That's because most of the fruit is a low quality source of flavanol. Strategic fruit eating is important if you are going to do it. Mangos I think are forbidden

Five servings of fruits and vegetables per day may not be enough for heart health benefits. Only 20% of people who meet these guidelines have an estimated flavanol intake of 500 mg/day, a level associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk in randomized controlled studies.

@shagbark_hick Can't get a loan if you are self employed though. That's the struggle then

Identical homes are for sale all over the USA for a tenth of the price, move-in ready. Many will say "but what about JOBS!" It's 2026. Anyone with a Post Office and the internet can make money. If you get tired of kvetching online, bootstrapping is still amply possible.

@NPCollapse Why does the third choice somehow seem at least as bad?

You don't have to choose between "AI is fake hype" and "Superintelligence is inevitable, lie down and accept it." There's a third option: humans deciding, through their governments, that machines smarter than us don't get built, and we stay in control of our future.

@BellaBaddie__ Fruit trees

Can someone explain, like I’m 10, why buying a house is worth it if you still have to pay property taxes after the mortgage is paid off?

@LarryPanozzo @liron They are Israelis.

@liron Teach her the foundations of what matters first? Of ethics?

4yo daughter mentioned that my mother-in-law told her about having cooked a live shrimp so I thought, here’s an opportunity to introduce her to foundations of EA and animal welfare. Me: But killing animals is kind of bad right? 4yo: No Me: What about a horse? 4yo: No Me: Really? You love horses. Ok what’s your favorite animal? 4yo: A kitty Me: What about if you had a kitty and someone killed it, that’s totally fine with you? 4yo: Yep I’m giving up for now. She loves animals btw.

@bennyjohnson Sir we've already been conquered by our own. Who gives a fuck. Go sell a sandwich without a license.

I want every foreigner visiting America for the World Cup to realize this is 100% legal. And every town in the USA is filled with patriots who have armories like this. Every block, actually. This is why we will never be conquered and are awesome 🇺🇸

@NoahTopper It needs more fame for how good this is

@allTheYud I think most fights, stress, family trauma etc comes form cleaning the dishes, not dirtying them. Any chance you find that relatable? Headspace plays a big role in such a task

Context: I disliked washing dishes as a kid. I am still a little happy each time I get to resort to a dishwasher instead. GF likes occasional cooking, dislikes the cleanup afterward.

Which of these seems *to you* like the task you'd *more* prefer to do? - Preparing / cooking a meal, 30min. - Afterward, clearing cooking utensils to dishwasher, putting dishes away after washing. And so long as I'm asking: Gender, M or F?
