@ChrisEroXXVII @Nycteegurl We are in a class war. We are losing because of the propaganda keeping us in culture wars.

@terrakei07 1 reason is wages were so much higher than the rest of the US for so long, they exploited ppl by buying up real estate and businesses & priced so many people out of their own areas. Caused bankruptcy & are actually a big reason malls failed so fast.

嫌味とかではなく本当に素朴な疑問なんだけど、アメリカ人の皆さんはなんでそこまでカリフォルニアを嫌っているんですか？

@anishmoonka People that have experienced it, know it's true.

The man who invented the theory behind quantum immortality died at 51 of a heart attack. He was legally drunk. He'd spent years chain-smoking and drinking, never saw a doctor, and his weight ballooned. He believed his own theory meant he couldn't really die. His name was Hugh Everett III. In 1957, as a Princeton grad student, he came up with an idea that split physics in half. His theory says that whenever something happens at the tiniest level of reality, the universe doesn't pick just one result. It splits into copies. Both results happen, each in its own version of the world. Quantum immortality takes that and stretches it. If reality always splits, then every time you face death, there's at least one version where you survive. And since dead people can't experience anything, the only "you" that ever knows what happened is the surviving one. So from your perspective, you can never die. But MIT physicist Max Tegmark, who popularized this idea, walked back on it years ago. His problem: dying isn't like flipping a light switch. Your brain doesn't jump from on to off. It fades. Cells break down, and awareness gets foggy. The thought experiment only works if death hits faster than a single thought. Real death is almost always slow, and that breaks the whole thing. There's a math problem on top of it. Every time reality splits, and you survive, the slice of "you" that exists in the equations gets cut in half. Survive 10 rounds, and the remaining you hold less than 0.1% of its original presence. Tegmark now says you should just expect totally normal odds of dying. Sean Carroll, a physicist who actually believes in Many Worlds, flat out calls quantum immortality "a bad idea." When reality splits, future versions of you become separate people. The you that dies is a real person who really died. Having a copy survive somewhere else doesn't undo that. Everett never wavered. His biographer says he was fully convinced his theory guaranteed him immortality. He died in his bed in July 1982. His teenage son Mark found the body and later said it was the first time he'd ever touched his father. Everett asked for his ashes to be thrown in the garbage. Fourteen years later, his daughter Elizabeth took her own life. She left a note asking for her ashes to be thrown out, too, so she could end up in the right parallel universe to meet up with Daddy. Philosopher David Lewis considered what quantum immortality would mean if true. You'd survive. But the theory says nothing about surviving healthy. What you'd get is a slow, endless decline. Body falling apart, always barely alive, but never quite crossing into death. Like Tithonus from Greek mythology, who got eternal life but nobody thought to include eternal youth. He just aged. Forever.

You make a cancer-fighting chemical in your brain every night. It kills tumor cells and fixes broken DNA while you sleep. Only works in the dark. The hormone is called melatonin, and when you flip on the lights at 2 AM, your brain stops making it. Melatonin is the sleep hormone. But it moonlights as your body’s overnight cancer patrol. It chokes off the blood supply to tumors and wakes up your natural killer cells (the white blood cells that hunt down cancer). Melatonin also flips on genes that order damaged cells to stop dividing. Researchers at Tulane ran an experiment where they exposed rats to dim light at night. Not bright light. Dim. The tumors lost their natural growth rhythms and grew nonstop. The WHO classified night shift work as “probably carcinogenic” in 2007. Reviewed everything again in 2019. Kept the classification. Same risk category as UV radiation. Your body’s internal clock controls more than when you sleep. It schedules DNA repair. There’s a repair protein called XPA that rises and falls on a 24-hour cycle, timed by your clock genes. When scientists knocked those genes out in mice, DNA repair went haywire and tumors grew faster. The same clock decides when damaged cells kill themselves off before they turn cancerous. Wreck the clock, you lose all of that. Denmark started paying workers’ comp for this. In 2008, the Danish government said: if you worked night shifts at least once a week for 20+ years and got breast cancer, that’s an occupational disease. Between 2007 and 2011, 110 women got compensated. One was a flight attendant who did 30 years of overnight flights for SAS airlines. No other country has followed. 1 in 5 workers worldwide works night shifts. In the US, that’s around 15 million people, mostly in healthcare, factories, and trucking. The exposure tilts hard toward people who can least afford it: 20% of workers without a high school diploma pull non-daytime shifts vs. under 2% of college grads. I’ll be straight with you, the science isn’t totally settled. A big 2020 analysis pooling 57 studies and 8.5 million people found no clear overall link between night shifts and cancer. But a 2024 study tracking how risk changes with time on the job told a different story: 9% higher breast cancer risk after 20 years of night work. 13% higher after 30. The lab evidence in animals is clear cut. The human data is messier, the way it always is when you’re studying something millions of people do in a thousand different ways.

@TheWinterRose_ @Rainmaker1973 *2 likes for the insult

@Rainmaker1973 "Girls are obedient " 🙄 It’s called coordinated, fool of a took.

Teacher recorded the differences in the development of boys and girls of the same age.

@Gadefilms @dostoevesque What is this in response to? Op never said we couldn't. I don't think anyone has really.

@Crixiest @dostoevesque It’s really not that ridiculous, if you wanted to, you could live in a town, get a job, only have a landline, walkman and a physical camera. The thing is that most people don’t want to do that.

The truth is that you do not actually want to leave. If you wanted to disappear, you would simply do it without announcement. Instead, you stay to express your distaste with the social media because the performance matters more than the act. You step outside not for the world but for the absence you imagine leaving behind. To be missed becomes the quiet currency you seek. If you were in a public urinal and hated the smell you would simply leave. You would not stand there screaming that you intend to leave while breathing it in. You do not leave because you are addicted to it. What you call retreat is really a demand to be watched. You stay because the performance of leaving keeps you central. Your ego feeds on the idea of your own absence more than any real silence could. You need the network to reject the network because your critique requires its architecture to exist. The fantasy is not to disappear but to be missed.

@dildorthewise @donanderson2567 @Zeaced @AdameMedia Lmao

@donanderson2567 @Zeaced @AdameMedia I dont really have a point. I thought you were an anti trump bot. I dont listen to Joe Rogan. Sorry to bother you.

JOE ROGAN TURNS ON MAGA: “WEIRD UNINTELLIGENT DORKS” Joe Rogan says that he wants nothing to do with MAGA because it has become a “movement of a bunch of f—ing dorks” “A lot of them are dorks, a lot of them are really weird, uninteresting, unintelligent people” Rogan also is freaked out by “Christian nationalists that think this whole war is a way to get Jesus to return”

@GamewithDave 1993 7th Guest, which led to the '95 sequel The 11th Hour. Horror movie fantasy puzzle games. My favorite games & hated when my computer advanced past playing them.

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

Weirded out by homes with no pets. Like where is your creature

@OlBuzzy @CantEverDie So then what's your answer to this question?

@CantEverDie I mean probably in the circles you're in lol

it’s hard to illustrate how it felt at the time if you were too young, but this happening right after the shock bernie primary win in michigan was a nuclear hopium bomb. it felt like the world was on the precipace of something better

@thesamuelljack @unicornsftw Try reading the comments here, the very definition of triggered. Folks little covid brains hurt big.

@unicornsftw 1) no one is triggered by strangers wearing masks 2) people are on here calling the average person evil for NOT wearing a mask which is why those that champion forever masking seem to be “triggering” others

my theory is that people get triggered by strangers wearing masks for potentially two reasons: 1) they have been affected by covid and are in denial 2) their inherent biological intelligence is aware there is a danger but their ego overrides that, causing anger they then project.

@MbarkCherguia My kid wouldn't do that, because I am a good mother & they wouldn't wanna disappoint me. Wont stop him from being a fucking dumbass later tho, I can tell you that. So basically, this means nothing. Hell or high water fuckups are fuckups. Gotta move on ig

17 year old son completely destroys the family home. How would you deal with this situation?

@anxietymsgs the only person I always had & don't have any more

@Xpressivemee @anxietymsgs Yes. You have to keep on & explain nothing to no one. If they care, they will ask, if they don't? They will judge. Fuck em.

@Crixiest @anxietymsgs Exactly & they really don’t get it when you’re Happy even though you’re at your lowest or going through a bad time.

@NoahKingJr Touch my elbow to my ?

TELL ME SOMETHING YOU CAN DO THAT CLAUDE CANNOT

@Xpressivemee @anxietymsgs Those people feel like you don't deserve it more than they do. And that's complete bullshit.

@anxietymsgs @Crixiest Yes because they’re People that don’t like me just because I’m Happy! Being Happy really pisses some People off.

@Geniustechw Only if this bizarre ass declaration means I can punch u in the most hurtables.

I am the only one who thinks Lady Gaga is not attractive in the slightest?

@Geniustechw Our "regrets" don't make us wrong, they make us vigilant.

Men, what would you do in a situation like this?
