in this example?

Well, that's probably only true for some people and only for a certain period after coming out to yourself. Sure, it was euphoric feeling seen in my gender identity when I faced misogyny for the first few times. But once I felt more at home in my gender identity, it wasn't pleasant anymore.

I actually know plenty of cis straight women who are repeatedly seeking out men that treat them awfully because they think they don't deserve anything else. I would so far as to say that straight culture is based on misogyny.

Überrascht wenig, Özdemir ist schon seit Ewigkeiten stock konservativ und ich fand ihn auch schon vor 10 Jahren unausstehlich...

I like this list of instructions on how to have a beach body best:

• have a body
• go to the beach

Maybe just delete your youtube account? I've never even had a youtube account at all and I'm a heavy youtube consumer...

If you read the actual paper, you can see that it is indeed a serious study where they try to understand how mosquito feeding and reproductive behavior works.

Uff, das hört sich ziemlich dystopisch an. Aber wahrscheinlich werden das trotzdem sehr viele Menschen mit sich machen lassen und alle möglichen Daten dann so zentral mit dem Gerät verknüpft preisgeben :(

Yes! When I did electron microscopy, we had to cover the fix the samples and cover them with a very thin gold layer beforehand.

Hm, finde gut, dass der Artikel dem Hype den Wind aus den Segeln nehmen möchte. Andererseits weist der Artikel an sich einen eigenen Bias auf, inwiefern etwas gesünder ist, nur weil es natürlicher ist. "Hochverarbeitete Lebensmittel" ist z.B. ein Begriff, mit dem gerne Angst verbreitet wird, hinter dem aber inhaltlich nichts steckt (sehr zu empfehlen: Maintenance Phase - Ultra-Processed Foods). Es hilft wirklich überhaupt niemandem, dass wir seit Jahrzehnten einen sehr schlechten gesellschaftlichen Diskurs voller Fehlinformationen, gekauften Meinungen und Panikmache rund um das Thema Ernährung haben. Dieser Artikel hier führt das einfach nur weiter fort.

Ich bin momentan in der Situation, dass ich als Veganerin gerne für Sport extra Muskeln aufbauen würde. Wenn ich nach der offiziellen Empfehlung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährung für Proteinzufuhr von 0.8g/kg Körpergewicht/Tag gehe, dann muss ich knapp 100g Protein/Tag zu mir nehmen. Selbst eine ganze 400g-Packung Tofu enthalten aber nur ungefähr 60g Protein. Selbst wenn ich noch extra ein Müsli mit Nüssen oder so esse, wie soll ich dann jemals jeden Tag auf knapp 100g Proteine kommen? Ich hab mich jetzt erstmal für Proteinpulver entschieden, mal gucken wie es läuft. Habt ihr andere Ideen, wo ihr als vegane Person regelmäßig ausreichend Proteine herbekommt?

Hm, I've been shaving wet for ever and have been on E for ~5 years. No cuts unless I'm really not paying attention. It is a skill you can learn :)

Find ich gut, wenn die influencer-Kultur dadurch mehr gedeckelt wird. Besonders, wenn sie eh vor allem junge Menschen als Zielgruppe hat, die einfacher zu manipulieren sind.

Ich kenne nicht viele Betroffene

Und genau hier liegt das Problem. Menschen, die keine Ahnung haben und trotzdem meinen, ihren Senf dazugeben zu müssen.

Wir sollten als Gesellschaft erstmal aufhören, trans Menschen wie Scheiße zu behandeln, ihnen ihre Existenz abzusprechen und ihnen zuzuhören. Diese ganze Diskussionen um Operationen ist Panikmache und ein weiterer Versuch des Patriarchats, die Kontrolle über Körper zu bewahren.

Also bitte, an alle cis Menschen: einfach mal Betroffenen zuhören und versuchen zu verstehen, statt irgendeinen uninformierten Quatsch zu faseln!

Well, plants really don't have to deal with our binary bullshit. Most of them don't have any sex because they have perfect flowers anyways, meaning their flowers have male and female gametes.

Hm, I was intrigued and looked at the evolution of plants. This made me realize how paraphyletic gymnosperms and angiosperms really are! We just don't know how angiosperms exactly started out and if they might be monophyletic. And in case of gymnosperms, they are consisting of many very different plant groups that evolved independently.

So gymnosperms were probably the first plants to evolve seeds and they "include conifers, cycads, Ginkgo, and gnetophytes, forming the clade Gymnospermae". That doesn't really give an answer but that's the best we can do?

It was previously widely accepted that the gymnosperms originated in the Late Carboniferous period, replacing the lycopsid rainforests of the tropical region, but more recent phylogenetic evidence indicates that they diverged from the ancestors of angiosperms during the Early Carboniferous.[12][13] The radiation of gymnosperms during the late Carboniferous appears to have resulted from a whole genome duplication event around 319 million years ago.[14] Early characteristics of seed plants are evident in fossil progymnosperms of the late Devonian period around 383 million years ago. It has been suggested that during the mid-Mesozoic era, pollination of some extinct groups of gymnosperms was by extinct species of scorpionflies that had specialized proboscis for feeding on pollination drops. The scorpionflies likely engaged in pollination mutualisms with gymnosperms, long before the similar and independent coevolution of nectar-feeding insects on angiosperms.[15][16] Evidence has also been found that mid-Mesozoic gymnosperms were pollinated by Kalligrammatid lacewings, a now-extinct family with members which (in an example of convergent evolution) resembled the modern butterflies that arose far later.

Wow, so there was already pollination going on before flowering plants even existed??? By scorpionflies who's ancestors I frequently see? And there were butterfly-like insects long before real butterflies existed? Look how butterfly-like they were! This is wild!!

Es gibt ja verschiedene Wissensstände in der Gesellschaft und mMn ist es tatsächlich erstmal besser eine größere Masse weg von big tech und hin zu open source Projekten zu leiten. Gerade Marc-Uwe Kling ist ja recht anschlussfähig in der Mehrheitsgesellschaft, da kriegt man vielleicht noch viel mehr Menschen mit überzeugt.

Wenn man Menschen jetzt selbsthosten näher bringt, dann ist das ja nur wieder das gleiche, was beim CCC eh schon auf dem Programm steht und nur 0.01% der Bevölkerung interessant finden. Damit würdest du sicherlich nicht viele Leute überzeugt bekommen.

Aber ja, ich würde es natürlich auch toll finden, wenn viel mehr Menschen sich für ihre digitale Souveränität bzw die Technik hinter ihren Geräten generell interessieren würden.

In some areas and times, cockchafers were served as food. A 19th-century recipe from France for cockchafer soup reads: "roast one pound of cockchafers without wings and legs in sizzling butter, then cook them in a chicken soup, add some veal liver and serve with chives on a toast". A German newspaper from Fulda from the 1920s tells of students eating sugar-coated cockchafers. Cockchafer larvae can also be fried or cooked over open flames, although they require some preparation by soaking in vinegar in order to purge them of soil in their digestive tracts.[14] A cockchafer stew is referred to in W. G. Sebald's novel The Emigrants.

If anyone else wonders:

• Talpa is an actual genus of moles: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talpa_(mammal)
• defossus is latin and according to Wiktionary it means "excavated, planted or hidden": https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/defossus (fossus coming from Latin fodiō meaning "to dig; to pierce; to goad", https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fossus)

Oh wow, the first one sounds mean. Never heard of an isopod parasite (but I'd now guess there are many more aquatic ones?). And inducing necrosis of the tongue to be the new fish's organ, ouch :O

And what a wild ride the second story is! Thanks for sharing :)

Less so with friends, because most of them are queer and/or trans themselves. But sometimes I have that same thought regarding all the other people I know, like my family, flatmates, or just strangers...

Was ich so finden konnte:

VIOLENCE AND GENDER Between 37% and 88% of mainstream pornographic scenes include acts of physical aggression (mostly gagging and spanking), most commonly towards female actors with the scene usually suggesting that the recipient was a willing participant.19 20 Women are also more likely than men to be depicted as submissive during sex and as exploited or manipulated into sexual activity.10 20 Despite copious research into the phenomenon over many decades, the direct evidence for how viewing violent pornography impacts on gender-based violence is inconclusive. Experimental studies which involve exposing men to violent pornography have demonstrated an increase in sexual aggression;21 however, the artificiality of the experimental setting limits the validity of these findings in real-world situations. A meta-analysis of nonexperimental studies revealed a significant association between pornography use (particularly of violent pornography) and attitudes supporting violence against women.22 This association cannot be interpreted as causation, however, as men with a disposition towards violence against women are more likely to seek out violent pornography.23 Ecological data from many countries show that the population rate of rape has decreased significantly while pornography use has significantly increased.21 This has led some researchers to hypothesise that exposure to violent pornography is cathartic, diverting sexual aggression away from real-life violence.21 Ecological data, however, are a very weak form of evidence, as changes at a national level over time may be driven by a multitude of other societal factors.

Die Autor:innen heben aber wiederholt und deutlich hervor, dass es generell sehr schwer ist, das Thema wirklich wissenschaftlich zu testen und Kausalzusammenhänge zu finden.
