Scientists from all around world do a study to find the female body shape men find most attractive. Turns out it's the figure of a girl about 13. Scientists then lie and say their study shows men prefer the figure of girls about 19.

The statistics aren't biased. Nowhere in the world does a BMI of 17-20 correspond to 18-20 year olds.
>>
>>7758054
The study doesn't say a BMI of 17-20 is the average for 18-20 year olds, it says

>a BMI of 17-20 corresponds to the average BMI of a young 18-20 year old *with maximal fertility and minimal risk of future disease*.

All that happened was a retarded blog failed at reading properly. Then you stupidly repeated the mistake by posting it here.

/fit/ here with a medical / biochem question.

Have you guys heard of Rich Piana's 8 hour arms workout? It's a routine this guy invented which consists of alternating the same arm exercises (tricep extension and curls) for 8 hours and drinking a lot of protein shakes inbetween. He claims you can gain 1 inch of arm circumference within 1 session.

An anon on /fit/ said this routine could cause rhabdomyolysis. Is this true? Can a long workout really lead to such severe medical complications? From reading the wikipedia I, as a layman, would assume it's impossible to cause that much damage when you workout reasonably.

Second question: Does this trick even work? Is it scientifically really possible to gain a whole inch of arm volume in a single day?

Third question: Would this also work for a femanon?

It says in the wikipage that one possible cause is "extreme physical exercise (while poorly hydrated)". Doing the same movements for 8 goddamn hours sounds pretty extreme to me.

What's the current scientific consensus on the whole gender/sex distinction?

>>
Genetically defined sexual characteristics which are both physical phenotypes and due to hormonal base hormonal levels are the best predictors of phenomenological gender behaviour, only hormone levels can arguably be changed without destroying the organism. Sex and therefore gender is then mostly genetic.

What a nice read anon, thank you.

Now that we know that all women groups are inherently inferior I wonder.

What is more efficient? All male groups, 50/50 groups or some other distribution of males and females?

If only butthurt feminists would be kicked out of academia so that sociologists could actually carry out this kind of research. It very well could be that a 50/50 distribution is ideal but we won't ever know because feminists are stagnating progress.

I don't know if this is really /sci/ territory, but I cannot imagine where else this would go: Is there a situation in which raising animals, be it cattle, pork, poultry, fish, or insects, would utilize some area of land better than a crop?
Surely there are situations in which the ground is too poor to sustain plants like wheat, beans, vegetables, etc., but would support grasses that grazers eat?

Anyone got any literature to read about this, or any 2 cents to put into this?

Yes but I have no citations. There are areas in the middle East and Africa that aren't suitable for crops but can sustain livestock of some varieties. I think there may be some similar areas in the western US too but I'm not sure.

>This supposedly makes it nearly impossible to leave/enter the earths atmosphere.

It is a serious threat if nothing is done about it. Have you ever seen the anime series "Planetes"? It is a somewhat serious take on stuff like this and worth a watch. The story revolves around what you could call space janitors.

I think if this does become a serious problem, that things like temporary shield barriers will be used to ram ahead or encase the ship will be used. Perhaps later some sort of energy barrier will be developed maybe even a high power laser system to dust the debris before it hits. Launch corridors may be made using some sort of laser or microwave technology to burn everything on that trajectory. Or, all 4.

Do you talk about math/science all day to everybody? Apparently people are getting tired of me, but its the only thing I like to talk about.

Or I could talk about art, music, and chess. I just don't enjoy mundane conversations, but this seems to alienate me from friends and family.

Anyone relate?

>Do you talk about math/science all day to everybody?
No. Most people are bored by physics really so I really don't bring it up much. The only people I can converse with about physics are my brother and father who both study/studied it, my sister to an extent and fellow students at university.

People just have different passions, you shouldn't force your's on them.

IQ test says very little about intelligence unless the score is very high/low.

If you like maths, like science, and prepared to work then go for it. But don't go into phyics because you feel you're a genius and it's what you should do, do the subject you enjoy.

people can have their head cut off and still be alive for a minute
and people can live with less than half their brain
and jfk was "alive" like for 15 minutes after being shot in the head

so like
what part of the brain is the true center?

IE
if you shoot yourself in the head and it hits this area you'll be dead completely and utterly instantly

I mean also this area you technically be "you"
because we consider the brain to be the person
and you can take a ton away from it while still referring it as such

This is interesting to me. When you say JFK wans't determined to be dead until 15 minutes later, is there anything known about his conscious state during that time. Because if you watch the video of his assassination, his head was pretty fucked. I can't imagine being conscious after that.
