  • Teach the controversy via whiteboard marker on the bathroom mirrors!

  • Wilcox et al were working in a hospital setting and just found that the air bacterial counts were higher around hand dryers than around paper towel dispensers, which doesn't establish whether the hand dryers are actually a source of bacteria. A more recent meta-analysis found mixed outcomes. So both the sign and the graffito need to revise and resubmit, ideally with a more comprehensive survey of the published literature.

  • Inquiring minds want to know how the science wing of the center for science and international affairs recruits control groups and conducts experiments.

  • Given that Psilocybe mushrooms are coprophiles (typically found growing in manure or pastures where manure is abundant), it's unlikely that they mind being eaten.

  • As someone who's had a paper sitting with a journal since August I can understand the motivation.

  • Waiting for someone to solve the problem by telling him about the dangerous food additive dihydrogen monoxide.

  • Preaching to the choir here, but the US has never led on this. Paris was a joke before the ink on the signatures even dried. The bedrock of our economy is fossil fuels and unless someone's willing to do some percussive maintenance on our ruli- I mean, our economy, we're stuck.

    It kinda amazes me how thoroughly the dems were able to get away with selling the IRA as a climate investment, and, now that Bad Cop is back in charge, they get to pin the failures of the US to genuinely decarbonize on him.

  • It's a reference to a genre of tweet that was floating around back when the blockade started. After the US announced that it was deploying a carrier group to the area, some very confident idiots posted "[Ansarallah] is about to find out why Americans don't have free healthcare." And they sure did, but probably not in the manner the posters intended.

  • The reasons for why Americans don't have healthcare just keep getting dumber.

  • Looks like the liberal-to-that-which-they-claim-to-hate pipeline is operating at record efficiency.

  • I think they get it, they just don't think they'll ever experience consequences. They can always move somewhere comparatively insulated from harm or don't see a point in worrying about anything that happens outside of their own lifetimes or are techno optimists and assume we'll crack fusion or invent efficient carbon scrubbers

  • Murdering the climate was really their first priority all along, wasn't it?

  • Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out

  • Blood Libel refers to the belief that Judaism incorporates the murder and consumption of (mainly) Christian children. Conflating this idea with what this meme is clearly referring to (what happening in Palestine) reinforces the Zionist propaganda that Zionism (and therefore the actual ethnic cleansing that Zionists are currently doing) is intrinsic to Judaism and should be immune from criticism on religious grounds.

    But I suspect you are aware of that and are here in bad faith, so in short: no u

  • Hoo boy wait til you see what Zelenskyy was up to.

  • Without NATO aid, Ukraine will just plainly be taken over by Purine Russia

    Ah, I think I've found the issue. Here at Hexbear we only support Pyrimidine Russia. We hate fuckin' cytosine, don't we folks?

  • Yeah, it's not what I'd describe as a serious attempt at problem solving.

  • The Pareto principle is an economics idea - something is considered Pareto efficient if you can make someone better off without making someone else worse off, and you are at a Pareto optimum when you can't make anyone better off without making someone worse off. Of course, because "better off" and "worse off" are entirely up for interpretation, people argue that taxing the rich to improve the lives of the poor is not Pareto efficient because you're worse off if you have less money regardless of how much money you have left. So the only Pareto efficient solution is to grow the economy until all the poor people make enough money.
