When I drop something on the floor and then blow on it in short soft bursts, it’s suddenly clean enough to consume.
Demons are real - negative entities that attach to humans and feed off misery, pleasure, and anger.
I am convinced that I will come down with cold/flu if I breath too much cold air. When I walk in the cold, I always wrap a scarf around my mouth and nose. If I don’t, the cold air will give me a sore throat. That sore throat will act as a Petri dish for illness to develop and spread into my lungs or nose.
I know plenty of medical professionals and all of them tell me that that is not how it works, but I have a datum of proof. In my first year of university, I had a nasty, persistent respiratory infection during the late fall/early winter. To keep my throat warm while it was recovering, I started wearing a scarf and my illness went away quickly. After that, I started wrapping up whenever I was walking to class in the cold and never got sick again.
I am now used to wrapping my face in the cold and feel wrong without it. When I don’t, it seems like I am more likely to come home with a scratchy throat. I can definitely say that many of my flus start in the throat (though it could just be that the first flu symptom I tend to notice is the sore throat).
Cold air tends to be very dry, which can most definitely irritate your nose and throat (among other body parts). That irritation and drying out can make the thin skin and mucous membranes more vulnerable to attack from bacteria and viruses.
The only really unscientific part of your post is that the cold air itself is not the direct cause of illness.
People with a strong immune system might not see a big difference, but if you are already more susceptible to getting sick, then the link to cold air may be more obvious to you.
Wrapping your face up is a good way to block the germs that cause illness. You’re basically just masking up.
In countries with over a few million citizens, the political hierarchies quickly get too far away from the people there, accumulating corruption.
Unscientific in a different way, but I think the universe is basically a digestive organ for some impossibly unknowable, incredible higher dimension being.
Like the big bang is when it feeds or otherwise takes in energy, then as trillions of years pass and entropy takes hold that is it effectively digesting that energy.

I sip ginger ale, which works if it has real ginger.
The moment you become rich, you will absolutely be contacted by the shadowy ring of other rich people so they can force you in one way or another not to out their pedo ring. Even going as far as assassinating you if blackmail doesn’t work.
People using genAI without a care came about as a result of the genAI companies making millions of fake accounts across all of mainstream social media and performing the greatest astroturfing ever, in their favor.
The majority of actual human interaction in the future will be secretly held in spaces run under things like Usenet, I2P, Gopher, etcetera. A way to detect bots/genAI will become a game of whack-a-mole and it’ll help keep these treasures safer than 99% of the internet.
Anubis ( or whatever it’s called ) becomes a government funded project, with the goal being that government websites are spared from rampant AI bots crashing their sites. The downside is that it would most likely become closed source in order to ensure genAI companies cannot come in and use the source code to break through it.
Wikipedia joins one of the alternate internet things ( maybe I2P ) and poisons its own services, leaving ample notice of what they’re gonna do, but not where they’re going, to keep safe from the bots. It’ll become a race to find where and when Wikipedia becomes available again. This is more of a firm pipedream, but I hope they do it for their own good.
Visiting the clear web essentially becomes a crime amongst all tech savy people and you’ll absolutely be casted out of the safe spaces if you venture out of a genAI free Haven.
Or most likely out of everything, in a decade or less, the clock strikes midnight and once the dust settles, everyone left alive will be afraid when the wind blows.
There are less troll answers here than I would have expected from lemmy
So many… This will be downvoted :) Go guys!

Our bodies immune systems are enough to fight covid unless we are unhealthy, most people therefore dont need to vaccinate.
-
Nasa is definently not curious about actual human-like life in space and never intends to share any findings like that with the public. But its great for looking at rocks and microbes, things that will not change humanitys view of themselves as alone monkeys in space.
-
There are other dimensions where non-physical spirits exists, like ghosts or dead family members. Some mediums are real and can communicate with them.
-
Earth is a place where human souls go through a lot of challenges. How we treat others is meaningful and important for our souls.
Vaccines help prevent the spread of COVID from healthy people to unhealthy people. That fits in your worldview, right?
most people therefore dont need to vaccinate.
The question was ‘unscientific’, not ‘anti-scientific’. The lethal nature of COVID - to super-healthy people or not - is well-established.

The “fuzziness” inherent in reality once you get close to the Plank distance is clear evidence that we exist in a virtual universe whose computing power goes only so far. Reality breaks down at the Plank distance because that’s the pre-programmed limit of detail in the simulation.
What would you expect to see in a ‘real’ universe?
Well there’s also the double slit test and Mandela effect too so more and more things to add to that maybe it’s a simulation bucket.
I hold a very similar view, I usually express it like so:
If you were to develop a simulation of a universe you would have to make some concession to be able to run such a large simulation:
- You would have to limit causality, since the communication from one part of the cluster to the next would not be instantaneous you would need to limit the speed at which those communications can happen, that way you guarantee that one part of your cluster can’t interfere with another, think of it like a loading screen.
- Speaking of loading screens, you could make the vast majority of the thing empty, that would limit stuff going over from one part to another.
- You could gain lots of performance by only simulating the micro stuff when required, so an electron could be a wave of possibilities until they need to be somewhere, think of it in the same manner as current games don’t draw what’s not on screen.
That death isn’t the end. It might be the end of a physical group of cells but what we experience as our own consciousness lives on. Just not in this same form. And that those who have passed are communicating but we don’t pick up on the same vibrations inside of these bodies.
We’re also not in the same vibration to pick up any of our own memories of before inhabiting our bodies.
A huge amount of people who have NDEs seem to report much of this in common.
That and there is a plethora of dark energy and matter we cannot perceive. Which is scary creepy when I think about it too much. Like if this were a computer program, we’ve only physically taken up an observed 5% of the disk space. Can’t get my mind around that.
I don’t agree with you, but I think it’d be pretty rad if dark matter was GHOSTS.
Personally, panpsychism makes sense to me. Our brains are what make us thinking individuals with memories etc, but the whole universe is conscious. So after we die, we return to pure awareness (without thought or memory)
Yes that one is rather interesting concept. That everything is conscious. Or all encompassing.
On that note there’s also the realization that science has not yet detected where the ‘mind’ actually inhibits the body as once believed . As there are many animated creatures with no brain. And there are humans who have lead a very normal life with very little brain matter clung to the skull bone.
the mind possibly doesnt even take space in the body at all. Maybe we’re dipping our toe into this form or whatever.
Colds sometimes turn into coughs for me, so coughing makes my throat infections worse because it irritates the mucosa in the larynx. I have no evidence for this, but I’ve noticed that when I refuse to cough when I have a cold, I have fewer cough symptoms overall.
You Do not want to prevent a cough. That is how a minor cold can turn into a chest infection and then pneumonia. that is what expectorants are intended to prevent.
Oh, I should specify I’m talking about dry coughs. Not sure if it makes a difference, but thanks for that.
coughing itself does irritate the upper respiratory tract, and the aveloli. not so much for the progression of the infection, if you are coughing or coughing up phelgm already reached your lungs before you had symptoms. things make it worst if you have allergies or ashtma.
Once your poop and pee hit the inside of my toilet, its legally my property.

And the hunger games
I….i would almost want it to be that and not something else.
It’s nobody’s business what I do with my property.
The flush doesn’t take it where you think. I’m making clones.
The reason the Space Force has woodland camouflage is because SG1 is real and every planet looks like British Columbia
Aliens have quarantined the solar system to prevent contamination of the universe by humanity. They are waiting for us to incinerate ourselves and keeping the other races safe until we finish the job.
If they had the technology to do that they could just wipe us out
Even dropping a single nuke in the right spot would be enough to blow up everyone (humans initiating nuclear response)
the aliens also believe we have the right to live.
