dna is often explained as if it was computer code, but its important to remember its literally a bunch of physical strings. just as important as the sequence itself is how these physical strings are packaged and where proteins attach to them, because this determines which parts can even be read

me as a teenager: man it sucks to have no privacy or autonomy but i guess its for a good reason. when i turn 18 i will realise how young i was and understand why they did all that.
me as an adult: teenagers are an oppressed class, their abuse is normalised and systemic and they need to start killing people

Why's this dude built like crash bandicoot
Everything about this damn post is so funny to me. The lighting of the arm from the flash. The posing of the arm like a dramatic death from a novella. The fact the photo somehow got taken still and looks this good. The subreddit name. The fact this guy really is built like crash bandicoot
These guys would be the biggest hit at any Renaissance fair they went to.
An envoy from a kingdom in the far East comes to your hamlet and of course you give them a warm welcome!
Do you have any idea what access to the spice road would do for the tiny Dukedom of Fairground By the Budget Hilton?

MAYBE WE START THERE INSTEAD OF ASKING ME TO WASH MY HAIR FACE AND ARSE QUICKER THAN IT TAKES MY FANNY TO DRY UP AT THE MENTION OF AI!?
One of the sweetest things i have ever seen was a thing i nevet expected...
I saw a guy lift and carry his very large dog, easily 100lbs, from their car, across a parking lot, over a sidewalk, and then set their dog on the grass. He looked at me, shrugged, and said "i forgot his shoes."
Another guy came over and went on a rant about dogs being turned into weakened wimps. When he breathed long enough for someone else to speak, i told him to take off his shoes and walk across the parking lot. He responds with saying it's too hot, his feet will blister, realizes what he's saying, shuts up, and walks away.
Do your dog(s) a favor snd either get booties/shoes for them, or carry them over the hot surface. If you won't walk across the scorching hot pavement barefoot, don't demand your dog(s) fo so.
You know, when I've remarked that a lot of the responses to my posts feel like people are just plucking out keywords they think they recognise based on the shape of them and replying to what they imagine the post says based on that, the possibility never occurred to me that this is actually how many American schools are currently teaching kids to read.
Like, my assumption this whole time has been that when folks go "I misunderstood this post that says [thing] as saying [unrelated thing] because I mistook [word] for [completely different word that happens to start with the same letter]", that was a bit. What do you mean they're teaching kids a reading method that's tailored to produce this exact error?
Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭
If you're a teenager, you can still use this resource.
