Haha yup, sorta. They did use the bacteria originally discovered on skin (Mycobacterium smegmatis) but apparently it’s more common to find it in soil. Really valuable finding tho! Here’s a link to the primary source.
I find several things on that list quite stressful. In fact, I don’t know why anyone would think booking a holiday was the part that made you feel good.
This cop is a bastard. He did a good human thing, and that’s newsworthy. He also upholds, and is a member of, a group whose entire purpose is the protection of capital over human life.
If he’s really not a bastard, he won’t be a cop for long.
You know, racists share the exact same mindset as you. You make a blanket judgement call on the entirety of a thing, based on the actions of a minority of a thing.
“ACAB.”
Is the same as:
“All black people are gangster criminals”
They’re both ignorant blanket statements based on zero proof or evidence to support it. There are bad PEOPLE in every line of work. Law enforcement certainly attracts them a lot more than say… sanitation, but that doesn’t mean that ALL are bad.
The researchers plan to continue investigating horses’ abilities to detect sadness, particularly whether they can detect sadness amongst other negative emotions.
Horses always seem to me like big dogs, they have such distinct personalities, and I’ve seen them do all sorts of funny things (seemingly just for the hell of it).
I’m not surprised by this at all. Every domesticated animal I’ve ever met has the sensitivity to discern human emotions. I always considered it part of the prerequisites for domestication.
I don’t know which aspect is stronger for certain but emotions are a very base thing. Humans can definitely intellectualize our emotions way more and create a lot of emotional nuance that way. But it seems reasonable that pure emotional intensity, and probably sometimes emotional perception (with less nuance) as well, could be stronger in some other highly social animals.
