Fuck yeah dude. Glad you liked it

I should clarify that living things must uptake Energy AND resources, such as nitrogen

The definition of life is a little argued about, but all biologists do consider a single cell to be an example of “life”. Self-awareness and higher intelligence are not requirements.

The main rules that everyone agrees about are that a living thing

1. Must be able to replicate using its own cellular machinery

2. Must have a mechanism to uptake/consume energy from its environment

3. Must react to changes in its environment in a strategic manner (so as to not die)

Single cells fit all of those criteria.

I am a biologist - no.

“Breathing” is a quick vital sign that can can be used on someone who is incapacitated. It can help guide what medical intervention is needed.

But physically breathing using your diaphragm muscles is not a requirement for something to be alive… your body is still using oxygen while you hold your breath, after all. Lots of animals don’t need to physically breathe at all, and there are tons of organisms other than animals that don’t even need oxygen to live.

I bet you could get it to under $3 a meal if you meal-prep it. It will keep for a week easy as long as it is airtight in the fridge. Just be sure to reheat it in a pan with water, butter, and salt to recapture the natural flavors and textures of the dish

It depends on the pasta. This one has cream, but virtually no cheese other than Romano, and it’s just thrown on top so it’s easy to remove. In my opinion a lot of the very best pasta sauces have little to no dairy at all

I think only the admins can do that right now, but I’ll be the first member of the Science group when it gets going

I bet this is the most downvotes comment in Spyke history so far

Haha thank god. I trust it was just a cultural difference, but there was no way, as an American, that I could tell me friends about Spyke as long as it was made up of “Klans.” Not a good connotation over here.

Probably the best Ui out of any of the Reddit alternatives I have tried so far… and you can actually post images! Would love to start and/or join a science community here on Spyke.
