So dick cheese to electricity? That’s both gross and hilarious. 🤮😵‍💫😂😂

TH1NKTHRICE,

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.

TheLordHumungus,

I am pretty excited, my roommate might actually be useful for once. Dick cheese farmer

A positivity bench in london? how about being able to afford food and electricity and a roof over one’s head?

It’s funny to me that “summer” and “blue sky” are in the top 3. Of course they are, the poll was in London.

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.

555 I myself find having a planned holiday stressful. I guess different people, different takes.

Pratai, to upliftingnews in Off-Duty Officer Hailed as Hero for Rescuing Woman Who ‘Disappeared’ Under the Waterfall

Remember though…. ACAB according to, well- the entire internet.

Sicktatties,

Oh shush

Pratai,

Are you seriously stalking my comments? Grow the fuck up.

hightrix,

Just block the doofus and move on.

Sicktatties,

Shush now. You may only express opinions here that are similar to mine. Otherwise you SHUSH

To be fair, it is newsworthy when the pigs decide to do something daring and noble for a change.

Pratai,

It happens more often than you think, but there’s a narrative on social media and the quota of bad cop posts must be met.

surewhynotlem,

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.

Pratai, (edited )

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.

Educate yourself.

surewhynotlem,

How can a good cop exist next to a bad cop? Wouldn’t they have to arrest them?

Pratai,

This isn’t the clever response you think it is.

In the states I see them making nests in Walmart parking lots.

what a garbage headline

skbo, to upliftingnews in A Powerful Antibiotic That Can Tackle Superbugs Has Been Discovered in the ‘Dark Matter’ of Bacteria

In another totally unrelated news, new supersuperbugs are now able to survive in harsher conditions.

I’ve got harsher conditions, can they survive me?

Rolder,

From what I understand, they can’t be resistant to everything at once. So if one treatment doesn’t work, hit em with a different one.

AndreaHill, to upliftingnews in A Powerful Antibiotic That Can Tackle Superbugs Has Been Discovered in the ‘Dark Matter’ of Bacteria

I’ll take miraculous treatments we’ll never hear about again for $200 Alex.

Illegal_Prime,

Sensationalist bias goes brrrrrr.

@ivanafterall@kbin.social avatar

The researchers plan to continue investigating horses’ abilities to detect sadness, particularly whether they can detect sadness amongst other negative emotions.

Researcher: "DO YOU EVEN CARE THAT I'M HURTING!?"

Horse:

among other negative emotions

“You dumb horse! You’re a pile of manure and I hate you!”

Horse becomes aroused

Transcendant, to upliftingnews in Horses Can See Emotions in Our Face and Voice–and Have a Preference, Reveals New Study

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).

mookulator, to upliftingnews in Horses Can See Emotions in Our Face and Voice–and Have a Preference, Reveals New Study

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.

aeternum,

Why do you eat them then?

mookulator,

I do not eat horses

narrowide96lochkreis,

What about chickens?

mookulator,

Yeah that’s a good example. Never met a chicken like that

@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works avatar

My question: does this say more about the sensitivity of horse perception, or the intensity of human expression?

Slowy,
@Slowy@lemmy.world avatar

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.

T156,

Could be neither, and that learning to read the other’s emotions is helpful for domestication. Humans can read horse, much like Horses can read human.

I think this has a lot to do with the horses we have bred.
