Am I the only human on earth who detests the bitterness of alcohol? I have tried so many things and all of it is vile. I also don’t get drunk. Morgan’s and Coke I can tolerate the taste of and I can drink them all night. No physical effect and no after effects 🤷🏼‍♀️ Is that weird?

I happened to notice a number of jars of mayonnaise in Lidl had either loose lids, a lid removed or the paper seal broken. Brought this to the attention of a member of staff. What do you think she did? Tightened the lids and stood them neatly back on the shelf 🤔 @LidlGB

Very Important Message!! Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood. This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants! Make sure to share this post!

You could shear a sheep in May. It takes ten minutes. She is grateful. The fleece keeps you warm for forty years. When you're done, you bury it, and it becomes soil within three years. Or, for ethical reasons, you could choose one of the alternatives. Cotton. Requires 10,000 litres of water per jumper. The Aral Sea is now mostly dust because the Soviet Union diverted its rivers to grow it. But the jumper is "natural." Polyester. Crude oil, extruded into thread. Sheds 700,000 microplastic fibres per wash. Lasts in landfill until approximately the year 2226. But "vegan." Acrylic. Petrochemical, manufactured using a solvent the EU has classified as a reproductive hazard. Marketed as "cruelty-free." The cruelty is in the supply chain. Bamboo. The plant is innocent. The fabric is bamboo viscose, dissolved in carbon disulphide in a Chinese chemical plant whose workers have elevated rates of psychosis. But it has a leaf on the label. Hemp. Genuinely fine. Most of what is sold as hemp is a polyester blend, sold at four times the price. Recycled polyester. Still sheds microplastics. Still ends up in landfill. Made from plastic bottles that could have been recycled into more bottles. The fashion industry has been quiet about this. Vegan leather. Plastic. Reliably. Always. Lab-grown fibres. Genetically modified bacteria fed on glucose syrup in a steel tank, in a factory powered by natural gas, packaged in plastic, shipped from California. Funded by venture capital. Not yet profitable. Or you could shear the sheep in May. She'd appreciate it. The jumper would last forty years. The grass would grow back the same. But of course, the sheep is the unethical option.

Women or girls are up to twice as likely to suffer concussion as their male counterparts when playing the same sports under the same rules, various studies show. They also tend to have more symptoms and take longer to recover. Much of what is known about concussion comes from male-dominated research. Some 80 per cent of participants in key concussion studies are male, and 40 per cent of studies exclude women, while only 1 per cent of research focuses exclusively on female athletes, according to a review of studies published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. irishtimes.com/health/your-fa…

Wow! This is both very funny and disappointing at the same time.
Hedgie@HedgieMarkets

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks. The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people. ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher. My Take The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing. I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all. Hedgie🤗 nature.com/articles/d4158…

There is no way of knowing how often Parliament votes against what the public actually wants. Until now. houseofthepeople.com tracks every bill going through Parliament. You vote. We compare it to how your MP voted. The gap speaks for itself.

@bacchaus351 @CadburyUK Nope. Recent changes to Cadbury chocolate in the UK focus on persistent consumer complaints about a "more oily" taste following ingredient shifts toward veg oils. While Cadbury denies reducing cocoa content in Dairy Milk, some products now contain palm oil & reduced cocoa butter.

Please sign. Service people injured in combat have their injury award counted in their UC calculation. For those severely injured especially, this limits their ability to live a normal life post service. UK veterans deserve better. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7577…

@OkayBiology Does the UK have bare spray or pepper spray? Wasp spray? bleach in a spray bottle, a rock in a tube sock? Arm yourselfs for Christ sakes. Polite society is over. Criminals won't report you. DO IT! Self-defense classes are essential. Why do Muslim women hide under a black tarp?

She wanted to jog through the park to get to the gym.☀️ Unfortunately diversity was lurking in the park and making her feel unsafe. The other women in the park were very wary of him too. No crime officially committed, just women feeling unsafe in the park. #LaboursNewNormal
