Biologically, how bad are these for you to eat? Which ingredients are toxic and in what way?

None of those ingredients are toxic in any way.

milk is bad for cows OP

>>8337761
It's basically just empty carbs and salt. Not harmful in itself, but of course you'll want to limit that intake and compliment it with actual nutrition.

And no, no legitimate food product is ever going to be "toxic".

Does anyone care to explain this shit? There are 12 black dots, but your brain will only let you see 2 (or sometimes 3) at the same time.

You can see 4 if you focus on the center point between each square of dots dot.

OP here again. I'm guessing it has something to do with lateral inhibition between adjacent visual fields?

>>8341011
You're goddamn right it's trippy

>>8341013
Huh, I hadn't tried that, but yeah it seems to work. Still though, all the other black dots disappear.

Money isn't an issue. You have to make a device that is capable of ending all life on earth. What do you make?

You can't say 1 billion nukes or a gigaton nuke btw, that's too easy.

Here's my idea which is really a tweak of an already known idea. You make a large scale Cobalt Bomb (wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobalt_Bomb) and detonate in or above a global jet stream or trade wind. That should spread enough radioactive material needed to kill every human on earth.

suf·fer
ˈsəfər/
verb:

1.
experience or be subjected to (something bad or unpleasant).

yes, but unless it has a certain level of awareness of its experiences i'd say that morally it doesn't matter.

inb4 what about hyper-intelligent aliens who feel the same way about humans?
well me feeling differently about cows won't make a lick of a difference.

Is artificial intelligence actually dangerous? Does it have any reason to kill humans when it becomes self conscious and sentient?

Wew

>>8329256
Depending on design of course, what a silly question

It has the possibility of being treacherous territory if the A.I. becomes sophisticated enough to upgrade itself and becomes vastly more intelligent than us. After that point, how views and reacts us will be impossible to reliably guess.

>Psychiatric diagnoses are made based on the opinions of psychiatrists rather than with actual diagnostic technology
>#1 largest selling pharmaceutical product is an antipsychotic

Could these two facts be related?

I've come to expect that anyone who doesn't readily realize that psychiatry's claims are empty and disjointed, and the field's hackjob quackery scam-like nature, likely isn't capable of understanding.

For whatever reason, they just aren't. It's mechanically impossible without resorting to MK-Ultra-esque means.

Don't waste your time. You are only able to preach to the choir.

>Psychiatric diagnoses are made based on the opinions of psychiatrists rather than with actual diagnostic technology
There is no diagnostic technology. Psychiatrists do the best they can with the best information available because it is literally the best approach we have
>>
They do what they can. No one can do better, if they could, they would be. Can you do better?

They find something that works and use it. Why? Because someone's quality of life depends on it.

They don't particularly care how it works or why, as long as it works and that the side effects are manageable.

Welcome to real life where nothing fits into neat little boxes and you cant check every little box with a tick.

Welcome to the world of statistics.

87% of people with x disease respond well to lithium when virtually nothing else does even though we don't know how or why it works, and only 6% report serious side effects? Sounds good, lets use it.

Apparently average looking people are attractive as fuck. From this I deduced average looking implies attractive. So whats the point of beauty contests? They are literally crowning the epitome of averageness.

Gravitation potential formula: E = mgh. For 1 tonne weight lifted 10m(~33 feet) it will be: 1000*9.8*10=98000J

so half a laptop battery.

If a tree falls in the middle of a forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound? Explain in your opinion why. Just wondering people's views on reality.

Sound is basically friction of air if we put it very very bluntly.
Falling tree does produce friction of air.
So yes.

of course it makes a sound, there´s just no one around to hear it. never got this question, the answer is just so blatantly obvious.

People tend to develop a distaste for something if they are forced to do it, and force is the chief method of public schooling. That's probably why the majority of the population has no interest in learning anything ever again - public schools have killed most of their natural curiosity by making them associate learning with a loathsome, boring experience.
>>
>>8335768
Considering all the drugs you do during your freshman year, it's hardly surprising
