Chickenstalker, to upliftingnews in Routinely Greeting Six Neighbors Maximizes Wellbeing Outcomes

How to “greet” neighbours:

  1. Do an outdoors BBQ
  2. Let the smell waft to their house
  3. Knock on their door and invite them to join you
  4. Have wild sex orgies

Nice. I hope they seedlings take.

Charliebeans, to upliftingnews in Newly-Identified Molecule Could Be the Key to Targeting Obesity and Osteoporosis

Sounds good! But in my mind this falls more into “potentially good news”, not only when or how this will go into production, but also how big pharma will handle this 🥲

Or we could stop eating animal products. The countries with the highest dairy consumption have the highest levels of osteoporosis

This needs to happen everywhere, re establishing mangroves and coastal ecosystems in developed areas is also very important.

deranger, to upliftingnews in India Approves $7 Billion For 10,000 Electric Buses to Clean Air in 170 Cities

Even better, they approved even more funding for rail. As much as I like to see things transitioning to electricity, batteries are not the future - at least in their current state.

The cabinet also approved seven railway tracking projects worth 3.25 million lakh rupees to boost connectivity and mobility across nine states.

sylverstream,

That’s awesome! Here in NZ they should do that too!

Agreed that batteries are not the end goal, but it’s at least much better than ICE.

PlantDadManGuy, to upliftingnews in 60% of Ecuadorians Vote Against Continued Oil Drilling in Critical Yasuni Amazon Biosphere

And I’m sure that the government will listen to the will of the people instead of choosing the easy oil money, right guys?

sylverstream,

This community is called uplifting news… Let’s just celebrate positive news.

dublet,

From the article, which I’m sure you read in its entirety:

State oil company Petroecuador will have to dismantle its drilling operations in the area in the coming months, something which they’ve stated they will comply with as soon as the vote is officially counted and ratified.

This is unlikely to be the end of this story though.

I suspect the river goddess will be pleased.

(Sorry, just read a few more Rivers of London novels to catch up)

Doubtful.

BrisaLuna, to upliftingnews in 4 Decades of Data Suggests Pacific Coral Reefs Can Acclimatize to Warming Oceans and Resist Future Bleaching

0.1°C per decade is not fast enough an adaptation. If rate of world heating increase is faster than the corals can adapt, it’s all the same frogs in boiling water story.

Yep! No need to fix climate change! We’ll just wait for everything to evolve!

I hope these researchers live long and stay away from windows.

bassomitron, to upliftingnews in Scientists Regrow Retina Cells to Tackle Leading Cause of Blindness Using Nanotechnology

This is pretty incredible, I really hope the scaffolding ends up being biocompatible in humans and blood flow is able to be sustained to the new cells. Exciting news, but still a long ways to go for full human trials.

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

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
