Vegan: "Our teeth are just like chimpanzees. Frugivores. Meant for fruit and plants." Right. A few things. First: chimpanzees eat meat. They hunt colobus monkeys in organised group raids. They fight over the carcass. They eat the brain first. Second: chimpanzee teeth are larger than ours: bigger canines, bigger molars, because chimpanzees process tough raw vegetation with their face. We stopped needing to do that when we invented tools. Third: your teeth are not your primary food processing equipment. Your hands are. A knife is. Fire is. A beaver's teeth can fell a tree. A human with an axe fells it faster and doesn't need the teeth at all. The entire teeth argument assumes that the body part you use to eat food is also the body part that defines your diet. That logic doesn't survive contact with a chimpanzee holding a dead monkey, let alone a human holding a flint scraper from 2.6 million years ago. Our teeth got smaller because our tools got sharper. The diet didn't change. The equipment did. "But the flat molars..." Are you doing the flat molars thing again.

The Accidental Invasion of Liechtenstein In March 2007, a 170-person infantry unit of the Swiss Army was conducting a nighttime training exercise near the eastern border. Severe weather conditions and thick darkness severely limited their visibility. Disoriented, the soldiers accidentally crossed an unmarked border and marched more than a mile into foreign territory. It was only then that they realized their catastrophic navigational error. They had just invaded the neighboring principality of Liechtenstein. The unit immediately turned around and marched back to Switzerland without firing a shot. The entire incursion went completely unnoticed by the invaded nation. The incident only came to light the following week when the Swiss government issued a formal apology. Liechtenstein, a small country with no standing military of its own, accepted the apology gracefully. A government spokesperson noted they were completely unbothered, as the invading soldiers had been unarmed the entire time.

This is Andalusia, Spain…where hundreds of thousands of ancient olive trees are being ripped out & replaced with solar panels. Trees, bees & insects all wiped out. All under the guise to 'save the planet'...

Stomach acid pH across species: Sheep: 5.0 - dedicated herbivore Horse: 5.5 - dedicated herbivore Gorilla: 4.5 - dedicated herbivore Dog: 2.0 - carnivore Wolf: 2.0 - carnivore Lion: 2.0 - carnivore Human: 1.5 - more acidic than all of them Vulture: 1.0 - obligate scavenger Hyena: 1.5 - bone-crushing scavenger We didn't evolve as herbivores who occasionally ate meat. We evolved as scavengers who moved up the food chain. That pH 1.5 isn't designed to digest salad. It's designed to kill the botulism in a three-day-old carcass. You have the stomach of something that ate whatever was dead and available. Your ancestors were not fussy. They were alive.

Yesterday’s launch of an Iranian intermediate-range ballistic missile on Diego Garcia means that Iran likely has IRBMs with a minimum range of 4000 km. It means that the only 3 European countries out of range of Iranian ballistic missiles are Iceland, Ireland and Portugal

Students at a Government Polytechnic in India have created a fire extinguisher that uses low-frequency sound waves to push oxygen away and extinguish fires, instead of using water or foam.

@becker tysk vetenskapsman, decimalfel, otroligt 🙌🏻
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole

In 1870, a German chemist named Erich von Wolf was analysing the iron content of various vegetables. He made a decimal point error. He recorded spinach as containing 35mg of iron per 100g. The correct figure was 3.5mg. The misplaced decimal sat in the nutritional literature for decades, entirely unchallenged, because nobody particularly felt like re-testing spinach. In 1929, the Popeye comic strip launched. The creators cited the iron content of spinach as the scientific basis for their character's powers. By this point, the decimal point error was already sixty years old and fully embedded in received nutritional wisdom. The error was identified and corrected in 1937. The correction was not issued with anything approaching the cultural reach of the original claim. Popeye continued punching things. The actual iron content of spinach, 3.5mg per 100g, roughly where it was always supposed to be, is further complicated by the fact that spinach is among the highest-oxalate vegetables known. Oxalates bind to iron and calcium in the gut and remove them before absorption. The iron in spinach absorbs at around 1–2%, compared to 15–35% for haem iron from red meat. You would need to eat roughly a kilogram of spinach to absorb the iron equivalent of a 100g beef steak. There is also the kidney stone question. Spinach contains around 970mg of oxalates per 100g: one of the densest plant sources. Chronic high spinach consumption, particularly raw in daily smoothies, is a documented pathway to calcium oxalate kidney stones. The smoothie industry has not issued a correction. Popeye is still a sailor.
