Artyom, in There exists a hacker with an inordinate fondness for beetles

I will never understand how lawmakers don’t use version control for laws. An uncountable amount of suffering has been caused by this.

GrayBackgroundMusic, in polycoria

I don’t get it. How is this a meme? It’s like a screenshot of a wiki page.

nooneescapesthelaw,

I am also confused…

Tumblr is a meme.

Sabre363, in seastars!

Fun Definitely Not Made Up Fact: The sea-stars that you find on the beach are actually the disembodied heads sent out like probes by one mega-mother-sea-star that sits miles away at the bottom of the ocean, biding her time until she can finally resurface and enslave whats left of humanity.

oxideseven,

So… Starro?

Oh man I forgot about that comic. That was a wild ride.

Sea stars? Is this a new name for starfish?

    Yeah, that makes sense, it’s just one I’ve never heard before.

    IMongoose,

    Same with jellyfish, crawfish, and to a lesser extent sea gulls. Now jellies, crawdads, gulls (they are not all by the sea).

    A ton of birds are about to be renamed too, they are renaming all birds named after people.

    psud,

    Yes, it is another name for a starfish

    That's because you're just far too old, and not down with the zoomers and their extremely flurgid memes. Or possibly you're not a paleontology enjoyer.

    lugal, in Zoomers will be in grad school soon.

    This is more like generation alpha, isn’t it? From my experience, that’s the most useless generation so far and I say it about every generation younger than me

    It evens out with age, it’s alright.

    lugal,

    Not in my experience. My 3 years old nieces doesn’t contribute more to society today than she did last year. I admit it’s kind of true for GenZ but not even all of them. GenA on the other hand is a whole different story

    It would make its actual meme, instead of just an image of something interesting.

    dadGPT, in revenge is nigh

    looking at the cat, i still dont know if its alive or dead.

    Neither, but it is angry

    Haha, I don’t think my ex is cool enough to show up here.

    JoMomma, in polycoria

    My ex had one eye like that, she claimed it let her see in the dark

    oxideseven,

    Maybe somewhat… It would let more light in, but it wouldn’t be focused correctly.

    JoMomma,

    Her optometrist would disagree with you

    Kecessa, (edited )

    en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycoria

    It results in decreased function of the iris and pupil, affecting the physical eye and visualization.

    When the iris becomes deformed, it will disarrange the control of light coming in leading to blurred vision and finding it hard to visually focus.

    From what I’m finding it either has no effect or bad effects but never good effects like better night vision so you just got lied to or they said that as a joke and you didn’t get it.

    flyboy_146,

    As in… She had a normal vision?

    JoMomma,

    Yes

    SomeoneElse, in polycoria

    Do both pupils work? How does it effect vision?

    Xanthrax, (edited )
    @Xanthrax@lemmy.world avatar

    It depends. They both contract, but if the second pupil is small, it doesn’t matter. I have a small one, and it just causes uveitis every once in a while. I went half my life without even noticing it.

    You can become sensitive to light, and the irritation can slowly cause blindness. That’s pretty much it

    One fun thing: if you ever get uveitis, wearing an eye patch won’t work. Your eye will still try to dilate with your other eye. Also your pupil/s will stretch like in the pictures.

    /computational & quantum biology enters the chat

    oxideseven,

    Adding quantum to anything is just cheating though. I swear some quantum subfields exists just to one up people academically lol.

    oxideseven,

    Oh I know it’s real. I’m a biologist haha. But I stick to my beef with “quantum” despite being a nerd for it.

    ComradeWeebelo, in internet points

    Publish or perish.

    Academic publishing is in a very weird place and is very, very political. Its true that authors have to pay to have their papers published in most journals or conferences after they’ve been accepted, but like all things academic, this is highly dependent on the field. Some universities will reimburse professors publishing costs, others need to pay out of pocket or with grant/public funding.

    While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs, I would wager that most well known researchers would avoid such avenues of publication due to prestige. The larger journals and conferences have review boards where the top scientists in the world sit on them. As a potential published author with such an outlet, its a great honor to even be considered. Most researchers don’t want to take the risk of going with a less prestigious outlet if it will run the risk of smearing their image or damaging their ability to publish in better outlets in the future.

    Source: Was a Doctoral candidate that ran the whole ringer besides the dissertation.

    spiffmeister,

    While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs

    To publish open access normally costs upwards of $3k USD as well. There’s practically no point in the publishing chain where academics aren’t getting screwed.

    Let’s also not forget that you have to review other people’s papers for the journal for free.

    rimjob_rainer, in the fuckgraph

    I wonder how many lied

    essteeyou, (edited )

    They’d have to lie about who they slept with, and I expect the other person might have something to say about that if it was not true.

    I wonder if they verified each claim from both sides.

    Edit: it’s a scientific paper, so there’s no need to wonder!

    In fig. 2, and in all discussions presented here, all romantic and sexual relationship nominations linking students are included, whether or not the nomination from i to j was reciprocated with a nomination from j to i.

    whether or not the nomination from i to j was reciprocated with a nomination from j to i.

    Oh, so there was no bullshit filter

    rimjob_rainer, (edited )

    Then it’s certainly mostly bullshit. Male students tend to massively exaggerate when they tell stories about how many sexual relationships they had. Source: I was a male student.
