Mr Rayon

What are some examples of successful matriarchal and patriarchal societies in the 21st century?

What are the latest scientific data from 2019 suggesting?

So, there's a lot of people saying that biological aging is actually a disease and that we may be able to cure it in the near future.

My question is, which drug is most effective to take to reverse biological aging based on the information we have today?

Metformin or NMN?

Which anti-aging drugs/supplements do YOU take and why?

hi everyone,

currently I do not have a facebook account but sometimes I contemplate the idea of making one.

only problem is sometimes the thought of meticulously taking pictures, filtering/editing/photoshoping them and uploading them makes me feel guilty as if I am deceiving the world and making others feel bad about their looks etc. or things they don't have.

do you use facebook? if so, do you use filters?

how do you use facebook properly so as to cause less frictions between your "friends"?

do you only add people you know really well or acquaintances as well? is it best to add many friends or not so many?

do you post your political views?

what sort of things do you post on this social network?

regards,

mr rayon

If so, why didn't that make them smarter than modern day humans?

Why doesn't a large brain necessarily translate to higher intelligence?

How many animals out there today have bigger brains than modern day humans?

so you guys all agree that, putting everything constant:

(A) TWO ugly parents have sex and conceive a child. (B) TWO beautiful parents have sex and conceive a child.

(A) will definitely on average have more ugly kids

(B) will definitely on average have more beautiful kids

Are the outcome differences relatively negligible or are they noticeable?

Do beautiful parents have a higher chance of conceiving beautiful children than ugly parents?

Or are the chances about the 50/50 regardless of the level of beauty of both parents?

What are the latest scientific evidence suggesting?

Is it better to read quietly in your head or read everything out loud?

If the latter, does this help increase retention a lot or only a little bit and by how much?

 

 

Suppose I go to sleep one night and die; how does that differ from immortality?

a lot of people would say you are unlikely to wake up from your "sleep" after dying with the former situation but would be "awake" forever when immortal.

if you were immortal maybe you will find out the cure for cancer or finally find out whether there are aliens and how they are like?

maybe we can do a better job of breeding our human population to the extent of being able to colonize far off planets!

this will ensure survival of our species until the end of the universe!!

That'll be like just sitting and watching the hour hand on a clock move.What about real everyday life; the same.

True. Life sucks but beats the alternative (usually), which is death.

That's what I mean:once you've done that everything just repeats with each generation. Same old story, different actors.

Human civilisational progress? They say progress will occur more quickly in this century than in all other centuries.

Also, I doubt you have been to outer space.

Once you've been around the block a few times, why keep doing it?

Have you been to outer space?

Do you want to meet your children's children and share your wisdom/knowledge?

They say we may be able to become immortal humans soon.

Would you guys choose to be immortal?

If yes/no, please explain.

Perhaps more extraordinarily, what the researchers actually found was that those who were overweight lived the longest; they lived longer than those of "normal" weight.

Obesity is strongly linked to low T. Society has gotten much fatter, so I'm not surprised that T-levels have also dropped. It would be interesting to see a study on how much of the T-level drop can be explained by increased obesity rates.

Maybe lower testosterone leads to higher life expectancy? We know women produce less testosterone compared to men and they live longer than men so maybe overweight men produce less testosterone and live longer than "normal weighted" people and others as a direct result. Maybe that's why our the global life expectancy is increasing. That is to say because of the globe is getting fatter on average which causes a reduction in testosterone levels which increases life expectancy?

The world is getting fatter:

Life expectancy rising:

One can become habituated to a certain routine and when that happens it can take a while to adapt to a new situation. For a pre-internet person this might not be such a problem switching sexually from one form to another but someone born mid-eighties onwards it's possible that is all they know and it could be a major problem in terms of frequency amongst that generation.

Does this mean the above TedTalk is wrong?

Why does it say all over the internet that watching pornography and masterbating to it causes erectile dysfunction?

What are the latest scientific studies suggesting?

Well ponder this... I have never seen a bald man with gel in his hair.

what's to ponder?

bald man has no hair so bald man does not apply hair gel to his hair.

man with hair may apply hair gel to his hair...i see no link

Anything that puts a layer on your scalp and potentially blocks the pores/follicles wouldn't be good in the long run, methinks. I can't see any harm in using it occassionally and don't sleep on it.

hey im serious though. what's the latest scientific studies suggesting? e.g. can excessive hair gel use cause balding? can it make your skin/hair too oily leading to more pimples...?

Hey guys,

I was just wondering, how scientifically accurate is this article?

Does pornography really contribute to PIED (pornography induced erectile dysfunction)? Does it make men less attracted to females?

Any thoughts?

Also, is the article saying that simply watching pornography leads to erectile dysfunction or do they mean masturbating while watching online pornography?

Is this proven fact? Do we have any statistics on this?

What are the latest scientific studies suggesting?

Regards,

Mr Rayon

Are you anti-communist?

What are your thoughts about supporters of communism?

Do really disbelieve that communism could be the panacea of all our problems?

 

 

Those other two guys are probably jealous, because they've lost their hair.

But, I gotta ask, why are you asking this on a science forum ?

because i am looking for scientific answer.

is hair gel good or bad?

my hair doesn't look so cool when it's dry but if I apply hair gel it may look more sylish but I might hesitate to use it so often if people on here say that it's bad for your hair or that I shouldn't apply it too much to my hair etc.

For example, due to the increased uptake of free radicals throughout the body?

Is it healthy to wear hair gel all the time?

Is it good or bad for the hair?

Does it have any harmful affects if applied everyday?

How many times should one use hair gel on their hair per week, month etc.?

Do you use hair gel? Why/why not?

These (and a few other) issues complicate the interpretation, though it does not mean that there is no effect.In fact, a number of other studies do indicate that male infertility may indeed be on the rise.

Some of the strongest correlations have been found with obesity and diabetes as well as smoking, IIRC. Alcohol was also somewhat correlated but I forgot how strongly.

 

.The sperm count has been decreasing steadily for many years in Western industrialised countries.

http://ispub.com/IJU/2/1/7519

Other things include frequency of masturbation and sex is also correlated with testosterone levels, to provide other examples. Of course, none of these points speak to the narrative of OP, which, frankly was a bit silly to begin with.

Out of curiosity, what are the latest findings suggesting?

Does masterbation decrease testosterone levels or increase them? Or is it more complicated?

 

To throw the cat in among the pigeons "they " are now saying that being a little obese may be healthy as those people tend to live longer..

 

Any ideas the logic behind this might be?

 

If they were male, I'd kill them where they stand. If female, no problem.

This is a serious question. I am not sure what the appropriate response would be if I were in the situation. I feel as though killing the person or punching the person is not justified for the offence but something lighter should be done but not sure what that could be? Anyone have any ideas?

Either way, better to just take the easier road; think life.

You sound like a push over but something tells me this is how most people would react or make of the situation.

If they're pretending that it was an accident, how am I distinguishing this from an actual accident?

You can feel when people are being genuine or fake.
