what kind of effect will solar eclipse have on my body?
>>9045525
Nothing? Unless you plan on doing a sacrifice to the sun god to bring the sun back.
>>9045525
Or look directly at it. If you do that then you might damage your eyes. But it's the same with looking directly at the sun at midday.
Vitamin D deficiency
Mum says bacon and sausages can cause cancer, so I'm not allowed to eat them anymore. She told me she read about it online and that everything processed causes cancer so I said that everything can cause cancer and that there are also birth control pills that get taken and pissed out into the water which results in chemical imbalances.
Shes getting old now and she repeats herself, do bacon and sausages really increase peoples chances of getting cancer?
>>9045309
How about you move out you miserable retarded thing.
>>9045309
they are cured with nitrite salt. that stuff can create nitrosamines in your body and those are dangerous indeed.
better eat bacon and sausage with moderation, 2-3 times per week is enough.
especially if you had a history of cancer in your pedigree, or if you are not used to it (e.g. your family has been a vegetarian for centuries), better eat it only once per week or even month then
eating a lot of meat is sometimes linked to developing cancer, but most of it only holds true for people who would get cancer anyway because they are more susceptible than others.
did any of your grandparents die of cancer? or their siblings?

It would go wrong for the same reasons incest babies do. You can't just repeat your x chromosome to get an equally-healthy girl you.
How often does /sci/ poop?
I go every 3/4 days and literally can't poop no matter how much I force it until the urge comes. Its kind of like diarrhea but solid waste comes out (mostly type 4 & 3). Usually when pooping, it'll be one type 4 followed by type 3.
I eat lots of vegetables and drink lots of water.
I shit multiple times per day, in every thread I post in.

>"depression has both psychological and physiological components bro"
>subject takes natural antidepressants like fish oil and turmeric
>subject feels better even though life didn't improve a bit and he underwent no therapy
Explain this
>>9044277
placebo effect is real eh
"psychological and physiological" effects/causes of depression are strictly correlated, and if because of a placebo one feels better psychologically, physiological changes will ensue
it is also possible that when one says "I'm depressed" he isn't really "clinically" depressed
really what's so hard to understand that needs to be explained?
>>9044277
>natural antidepressants
Excuse me?
>>9044277
Having pshychological and physiological causes doesnt mean every case has both

This previous thread proved that this is a legit online IQ test.
>What did we learn about the psychtests.com IQ test?
1. The IQ test has a strong correlation with proctored IQ tests like WAIS-R and Stanford-Binet.
2. Raw IQ scores (SD 18.67) are converted to a standardized IQ score (SD 15) and then reported to users. This means that your reported score matches what you’d get on an SD 15 test like the WAIS-R (4.4 in Compliance with APA Standards PDF).
3. Because the test’s samples were gathered online, sampling bias was tightly controlled for (7.10 in Compliance with APA Standards PDF).
>What did we learn from anons in the previous thread that took the test?
1. A majority of anons reported receiving scores comparable to scores they had received on proctored IQ tests.
2. The corollary to the Dunning-Kruger Effect was once again confirmed as many test takers who scored highly on the test did not accept their scores and argued that they were artificially inflated, falsely presuming that what they found easy was also easy for those of lesser abilities.
>What does this mean for IQ testing?
1. While people interested in determining their IQ should always take a battery of IQ tests and compare their results across all tests to calculate a composite score, an online IQ test can be just as valid as one administered by a licensed psychologist so long as it is properly developed and standardized.
2. The “there are no valid online IQ tests” meme is just that- a meme.

Can /sci/ explain what would happen if Pinocchio said "my nose will grow now"?
>>9044231
His nose would grow because it would initially be a lie
>>9044235
Truth
>>9044231
His nose would begin oscillating.

Debunk this: Mitochimerism/Telegony via sexual intercourse in humans
I have been going crazy over this. I know a little about fetal microchimerism, fetuses, aborted or not effecting DNA in the mothers brain. But studies on mitochimerism or telegony though sexual Intercourse changing future offspring is disturbing.
Can sex with previous partners forever alter or influence the DNA/genes/traits, of the woman or her future offspring with different men? Again, I'm not talking about fetal microchimerism, I'm talking about a woman who has had sex but never has been pregnant.
I'm at the point of thinking about leaving my girlfriend who was not a virgin when we met. Converting to Islam and finding Muslim women who are more likely to be virgins isn't off the table here. I want a wife and kids and I refuse to have a kid that has had any genetic influence from abother man in any way shape or form. Won't do it.

Is it possible to perfectly describe and thus predict any changing system, no matter how complex, such as the stock market, with a sufficiently large polynomial?
Also is this just a different way of asking whether the universe is deterministic?
>>9043241
yes and yes
Simply describing a system is not sufficient to predict it, so the answer is no.

Airplanes, how to they work?
Electromagnets.
They repulse themselves from the earth by using opposing magnetic forces to the earth's charge.
That's why you can't use cellphones on planes.
Curved versus flat is nonsense. Look up streamline curvature, or at a minimum Google the Kutta Condition.

True. It's all about pressure lowered by the ideal/universal gas equation along with velocity.
Hey /sci/, when do you think that we'll have industrialized, large-scale asteroid mining?
What kind of infrastructure would be required to set such a thing up?
after we would colonize other planets and mining on them will be insufficient to keep on with demand and. We would probably built some industrial space station and lunch cargo to them in rockets or some shit
I think by the time we get there our economy will have already been completely automated. I don't mean like 95% automated, I mean fully automated. Machines and AI do every single job: they are from doctors to musicians, from drivers to programmers. They even maintain themselves. I imagine the future of mankind as being some kind of utopia where machines do absolutely everything and humans don't have to work. It's funny because if it coincidences with the invention of AI it will be literally the return of God/Jesus, in the Bible prior to God's wrath Adam and Eve didn't have to work same will happen to humans. Asteroid mining will be just another part of this system. Our economic system based on trade, demand, surplus, loans etc doesn't work when you account for effectively infinite resources, there's just so much shit the prices of everything drop to practically zero. It also would have to take into account things like when you have immortality, you can take a loan of infinite money because you can work for infinite time to pay it back. I think the future is very bright to mankind, all it takes is not setting the world on fire right now with nukes.

highly inefficient and very slow, i know, but more plausible than Armageddon-tier asteroid drilling or trying to tow an asteroid into earth's orbit
