INCIDENTAL CONSUMPTION OF DIRT IS NOT THE SAME THING AS CHRONIC INTENTIONAL CONSUMPTION

Agree with me louder, though.

saying that everybody agrees with you

Now now, stop playing pretend, I didn’t say “everyone”. Scientists, anthropologists and doctors agree with me that incidental oral exposure to soil(eating dirt) is probably not harmful and potentially-to-likely healthy, not “everyone”. You, for instance, seem very anti-science/illiterate about the whole thing.

It’s fine if you and other people disagree with doctors, scientists and myself, who scientifically assert that exposure to uncontaminated soil is not dangerous and I could not care less about a “vote ratio”.

Your votes are worth nothing, zero. 100 times 0 is 0, my illiterate friend.

I understand you’re having trouble understanding the article(and all of the complementary articles that state the exact same thing), but I can read it and understand it. I care as much about your reading disability as I care about your downvote.

Assuming other people haven’t read an article because you’re having trouble understanding it is kinda funny.

maybe you guys can start a reading group with each other rather than trying to make things up or put words in others’ mouths; nobody else is having the comprehension problems you share.

Sticking your dirty finger in your mouth =/= intentionally eating a handful of clay…

Correct.

Incidental ingestion is not the same thing as intentional consumption.

Coreect again! great work.

Are you gonna tell your kid that they need to lick their dirty hands clean?

I highly recommend you do not tell kids to “lick their dirty hands clean”, which ignores my own and the scientific advice in the linked and other articles regarding eating dirt.

it’s also gross and weird.

Right!

If their hands end up in their mouths, or some of the dirt ends up in their mouths, keep an eye on them. If they develop a rash or fever, take them to a doctor. If they don’t, they’re probably fine.

The article I linked was just the top result of many scientific articles and anthropological studies reiterating the same scientific viewpoint that oral exposure to uncontaminated soil(also known as eating dirt) is not dangerous and potentially-leaning-toward-likely healthy.

Is the term “exposure” tripping you up?

That can mean topical, membranous, oral exposure, as talked about in the article.

Folk wisdom says it’s healthy. doctors say it’s healthy.

Go for it.

Oh wow, I wouldn’t have guessed you could get that level of detail and accuracy with the same saw blade, the holes are as well crafted and deliberate as the outlines, amazing!

Thanks for explaining the different processes, it’s fascinating. The end results are truly a more than the sum of its parts kind of thing. I look forward to seeing any other pieces you share here!

This, of course, is why people have stopped commenting on the internet.

Thanks for explaining, very impressive, did you use a drill then file for the hole in the curving tail? And scoring the wings, do you have a stamp or little metal carving tools? It all came out so smooth, how long have you been carving metal like that?

You’d probably knows this was old news if you read more.

Wow thanks, very cool. What do you use to smooth and polish the edges, a file?

What tool do you use to cut brass so delicately by hand?

“chemicals, semiconductors, and other core industrial sectors well before China establishes chokepoint control over them too”

…uhhh, the 'before" qualifier is useless at best, china’s dominance in practically all forms of industrial production is already well established, the best the EU can hope for is to begin to catch up.

Even if everything goes according to hope, the years of lead time to bring EU and partners production online will be happening while China’s own intact, dominant and functioning industrial production continues to advance.

Competition is a good idea, but the EU pretending that China has not already crossed the finish line seems very unhelpful for their proposal.

Nope

Can be. Can not be.

Totes.

Amazing insight.

No, your entire body not receiving oxygen is not as fun as you imagine. You may be thinking of receiving extra oxygen, which can be kind of fun in certain situations.

The effects of bradycardia are more like mild choking.

Imagine someone lightly choking you alll day.

Anything by Peter Watts: the Rifter series, Blindsight; his hard science fiction, prose and moral philosophies examination is stunning and incredibly engaging.

Cool. Thanks
