  1. Believe it or not I did this as my science fist project in 7th grade, it was on soluble factors in the kidney, it’s an active field form what I know
  2. Someone get magnus Carlson, the man needs to see this

  4. “The suppression of uncomfortable ideas may be common in religion or in politics, but it is not the path to knowledge, and there's no place for it in the endeavor of science. We do not know beforehand where fundamental insights will arise from about our mysterious and lovely solar system. The history of our study of our solar system shows us clearly that accepted and conventional ideas are often wrong, and that fundamental insights can arise from the most unexpected sources.”―Carl Sagan
  5. Sohan Strawberry had to cough remove them cough Through ethical means of course! 😁 This is now written law that Sohan strawberry is Emily Lime's sibling
  6. likewise! What a pleasant human you are =)
  7. Believe it or not, Emily Lime has a sibling named Sohan Strawberry
  8. Most of the time for me it’s about the interpretation of cheddar man against far right European nationalists or mainstream Christian’s
  9. You have the same name as me XD

    The question shouldn't be "how the hell are penguins responding to tariffs?" It should be, "how the hell do you tariff 18 species?" I fully support this rebellion too, I am an honorary penguin.
  11. The thalamus is not merely a "primary gateway" for all afferent signals in a unitary sense, nor is it correct to say that it initiates or executes responses in a top-down command fashion. Instead, the brain's sensory processing and response mechanisms are deeply recursive, parallel, and context-dependent. First, the thalamus is functionally diverse. Specific thalamic nuclei, such as the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) for vision or the medial geniculate nucleus (MGN) for audition, are specialized relays, but even they do not operate as primary processors. Sensory information often undergoes pre-thalamic processing for example, in the retina or cochlear nuclei. before reaching the thalamus. Furthermore, the thalamus largely acts as a relay and modulator rather than a generator of motor or behavioral responses. Second, the cortex is not merely "alerted" by the thalamus; rather, there is a dynamic, bidirectional interplay between thalamic and cortical structures. Thalamo-cortical loops are critical for consciousness, attention, and perception, but cortical feedback to the thalamus plays an equally significant role in shaping sensory input through processes like selective attention. Thus, it is reductive to suggest that the thalamus is the initiator and the cortex the respondent. Both structures co-construct perception and action readiness. Moreover, the notion that the thalamus "executes our response" after receiving cortical feedback is an oversimplification. Motor responses are typically orchestrated by cortical motor areas, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and spinal motor circuits. The thalamus, especially its ventral anterior and ventral lateral nuclei, does relay information related to motor planning, but it does not engage in executive decision-making or response selection in the cognitive sense. In modern neuroscience, models such as predictive coding and active inference suggest that both the thalamus and cortex are involved in a continuous loop of prediction and error correction, with no single structure holding a unilateral role as either executor or gatekeeper. The brain is better understood as a network of dynamically interacting regions, each contributing to sensory processing and behavioral response according to its specialization and current functional state. Thank you for the agreement, perhaps see some of my more recent postings, I would say they contribute With all due respect, lets just not ok?
  12. I feel the essence of this question is of philosophy.
  13. Not all microbes in the termite gut produce hydrogen. Specific microbial groups (such as certain fermentative bacteria and protists) are responsible for breaking down cellulose, and some of these produce hydrogen as a metabolic byproduct. Other microbes, like methanogens, may consume that hydrogen. Warring with random ant species?
  14. I am curious though. Do you know what specific species they are?
  15. Perhaps we could discuss this
  16. Saying this with 0 context with the thread is in my opinion and with all due respect really fucking wild dude. I was not hostile in this thread at all and barely interact with you. There is no “Hmmm ok” after calking someone dimwitted when you failed to include something within your own response. Frankly my friend, I don’t care if you respect me or not, I don’t know what makes you think I do. “What people do, is as important as what people don't do. The unseen is as important as the seen. More pairs... My life is riddled with pairs, doubles, opposites etc. I see the universe this way. I will not post again unless I am pm'd, that isn't a request and I do not expect a pm. I am a nobody of nobodies. Isolation seems to be married to me for some reason, always has, always will I guess.” Please stop dragging it and trying to attention seek, if you want to leave, by all means leave. No one is stopping you, stop repeating the same thing also. It’s not a problem with the quote function, ITS THAT YOU DID NOT USE IT. I’m sorry, Mr. “If this was a normal forum I would not hold back on them” where was I rude to you whatsoever at all? Not me, nor @m_m are quaking in our boots so kindly stop talking. Let’s be clear about something here, YOU OPENED HOSTILITIES, my question to you is why? Please also stop trying to be threatening or scary, it’s cringey as hell man 😬 Feel free to point out me disrespecting you here and stop trying to start drama, if you are not receiving enough attention or are experiencing isolation that is disturbing you mentally, I recommend seeing a therapist. I hope you will find someone that will make you joyous, but don’t pick fights with people who did nothing to you. Good luck and cheers - Sohan Also, stop trying to downvote me to hell for the sake of it
  17. Hello everyone, I have a query. I have been observing a relatively large amount of interspecific competition between neotropical migrants and the residential bird species within my area. For context and to my great pleasure, I do live within the pacific flyway. I have not observed this “phenomena” before as it’s primarily between residential species where I live. I have noticed 2 instances, one where a Tree Swallow and a Western Bluebird were somewhat fighting over a nest box, and the other instance was where a hooded oriole and a northern mocking bird were somewhat fighting over a spot on a palm tree, is anyone else noticing this?
  18. Animals have a form of communication which can be based audio-logically. Try to understand my point instead of antagonizing me, I was not hostile in this thread at all. Kindly piss off. I am extremely sorry, I forgot for a moment you are not the center of the known universe. My apologies. 🤣 You just repeated it here, you didn’t quote anything. Please, with all due respect, never call anyones response “dimwitted” again, friendly fire is typically avoided
