On: Record ocean temperatures put Earth in ‘uncharted territory’, say scientists

I've heard this sort of thing for 20 years

On: The Mental Health Crisis Has Hit Millennials

[nahnahg]

It isn't a crisis. A crisis is like, "omg! This is happening and we need to figure it out and resolve it!"

These kids eat bad-culture constantly.

People say TikTok is for spying and hacking yet we all know so well similar feeds are champions of opinion swaying and emotional control.

Pfff

On: Micro- and nanoplastics breach the blood–brain barrier in mice

The problem is not plastic, it is nano particles.

Glass and many other materials that can be nano-ized can do the same.

Polysorbate 80 can open the BBB even more. Just take a vaccine.

Isn’t that just clay?

On: Will boiling water ruin green tea?

[nahnahg]

Yes.

And so will following a strict recipe. You need to tune it yourself. Below boiling is better.

Use. Your. Tounge.

As if you need to be told, or can't tell.

On: More than 19k undersea volcanoes discovered

Because they are too stupid to use large aperture (and pressure stabilized) plain old optics with CCD sensor array.

I assume this is done actually. If fish can do it at the greatest depths then...

On: TikTok’s algorithm keeps pushing suicide to vulnerable kids

[nahnahg]

I [don't] like how we are told it's disinfo TikTok seeks to exact while a psychological experiment of sorts is shown to be unfolding..

.. where is the disinfo again??

No one knows what chaos theory is anymore? Everything that happens in a complex system must have been planned, right?

[mrbungie → kelipso]

Or more probably it can be a combination of both (and possibly more) explanations. There is no way to know, all we can do is speculate.

But to think that this is just chaos theory is as naive as to think these behaviours are fully planned. That would mean that tiktok has no business strategy nor preferred outcomes to optimize towards.

[bassrattle → kelipso]

If this is the case, then the system needs to be far less complex. The algorithm should absolutely be tuned in the direction of steering children toward content suitable for children and away from that which is not. They know this is not currently the case and doing nothing, so yes, they're purposely keeping it harmful.
