I used the free version for around a year. I would look at it daily and I felt it had a decent range of content. However, I started to notice factual errors with the summaries of the articles (which I assume are created by AI). This made me worried about all the times I didn’t notice errors and just learned incorrect information and possibly even repeated it to others. I’ve stopped using it and I’m looking for an alternative.

Those are truly 10/10 whiskers. What a handsome fellow.

I’m stupid, can someone help me understand how we calculate the 18 point swing?

Just after Trump was inaugurated last February, the result was 58 percent saying Trump was doing a better job than Biden

But in the new poll, 51 percent said Trump is doing a worse job than President Biden did — a net swing of 18 points

2025 poll 58% say Trump > Biden

2026 poll 49% say Trump > Biden (aka 100 - 51)

58-49 = 9 point swing?

I had a cat named Orion who I also adopted as a kitten! He was with me for 14 years and passed away recently. He was so handsome, funny, and just full of love for everyone. Wishing you as many happy years with your Orion as I had with mine ❤️

Holy shit this article reeks of AI. “Escape from Duckov” made their list of other extraction shooters, wow.

Poinsettias are mildly toxic to cats. Not deadly but good to be aware of. That being said, very cute kitty!

The Kapoor article cited many other studies that actually looked at audible sound and noise pollution. It also cited several articles that conclude that evidence of symptoms directly related to infrasound exposure are mostly case studies and anecdotal evidence and that more research is needed. The authors even state in the article itself, “It is still not unambiguously established that low-level exposure to infrasound always leads to adverse consequences at the organ, tissue, cellular and molecular level.”

As for the Zhaohui article, please consider this article that discusses how average infrasound that we are exposed to day to day (even from sources such as regular passenger cars) exceeds the thresholds that are said to induce negative myocardial effects.

Can Infrasound from Wind Turbines Affect Myocardial Contractility? A critical Review

Just because it’s being talked about on youtube does not mean the research backs it up.

Many studies on infrasound are related to wind turbines, which produce a similar level of infrasound to data centers. Consider the following study that found no link between infrasound and negative health effects:

The Health Effects of 72 Hours of Simulated Wind Turbine Infrasound: A Double-Blind Randomized Crossover Study in Noise-Sensitive, Healthy Adults

And multiple large scale reviews done by governmental organizations across the world:

Systematic review of the human health effects of wind farms

The Potential Health Impact of Wind Turbines

Infrasound Does Not Explain Symptoms Related to Wind Turbines

Infrasound is generated by both natural sources (ex: severe weather, ocean waves, whales) and man-made sources (ex: data centers, wind turbines, diesel engines). Despite the recent discussion around data centers, infrasound exposure is not new, and has not been shown to cause negative health effects.

Fuck data centers and every negative environmental and societal effect they have (including established issues with audible noise pollution). However, health impacts from infrasound are not one of them.

Does anyone have any recommendations for nature docs that don’t do this? Would love to watch some that don’t make me feel sad for half the episode.

Best weird “brand” name on an Amazon product I bought was a “Lokass” cooler. And of course the name is proudly displayed on the lid of the cooler haha.

We really need more stability in basically all of these objects designed for them to sit on. It’s not fair to them and their big panda butts to make them so prone to tipping over.

Happy to provide :)

I have to agree, sadly. I’m a huge fan of Benn Jordan’s work but I read the Masley post last time this topic came up and even looked at the original sources that Benn cites. There really isn’t any credible research out there to show that infrasound has negative health effects. Fuck data centers in general, but yeah, this argument lacks high quality data to support it.
