Slightly tangental, but I learned that I was allergic to shellfish! I was wondering why I felt sick immediately after eating foods that were mixed with shellfish or contaminants. Knowing makes life a heck of a lot easier.

Edit: a bidet, to give you a better answer!

Not to mention no universal healthcare for meds or doctors, and antiquated laws making it legally impossible for parents to help kids once they turn 18. If they have profound mental health disorders or addiction problems, they are fucked.

So many stories of people caring for their child with terrible health problems/addiction, only for them to fall through the cracks once they turn 18 and can't care for themselves. :(

This app seems like a privacy nightmare if you create profiles for people. I can guarantee you this type of app is going to get people to commit suicide after rumors abound about them. This seems perfect for cyberbullying and stalking, especially if you can get push notifications whenever they are nearby.

Who greenlit this shit? People would lose their minds if there was a male equivalent for women. (Which is also a terrible idea). Thank God I'm too old and queer, Jesus. What a terrible development for society.

Water is insanely powerful. As others have said, it could help you get tired swimming. It will not save you if you get pinned, or trapped in hydraulics, like the deadly ones at the bottom of weirs (those low dams, extremely dangerous. You get maytagged until you drown)

The best thing is to not live in flood plains or ecologically risky areas if you can. Research flood maps before moving somewhere. Extreme weather events will become more and more common as the planet deteriorates, unless we dramatically change our emissions, which is not a priority, apparently.

I want a watch that isn't a pain in the ass to set alarms, timers, timezones, etc. I also want 24H time and many days of battery life.

That's why I'm getting it. It will be nice for cooking and work, haha.

You can get an ioniq 5 2025 with 318 2wd or 290 AWD. But they are more expensive due to Trump's tariffs and rebates that he clawed back.

It should be. Once it's out.

This is one thing that I really hope GMOs allow us to counter. We need chestnut trees back. Natural and farmed ones. Perhaps we will find a gene for blight resistance someday.

You can use it, and can't really lose it, but it costs a lot of money to operate. (The carriers are about 3.5 burj khalifas long. They are huge)

I think it's people projecting. Then they make a whole charade out of it, and it gives them free access to the most vulnerable people without safeguards. I'll never truly understand it.

This is in the "no shit" category for me. Switching to 1950s era tech gives you 1950s-era results. Switching to methane was the wrong idea. You have to go to nuclear* if you're in a renewables-starved area, where the sun doesn't shine, the wind doesn't blow, and everything is too flat and dry for hydro (or geothermal).

*Even then, you have waste to energy as an option, provided you have the right filters. We have staggering amounts of garbage.

Great. The new CEO is a clown who has no idea what he's doing. When can we get Pat Gelsinger back?
