Scientists have discovered that the molecule DIM reduces biofilms causing dental plaque by 90%. Its addition to toothpaste and mouthwash could revolutionize dental hygiene. 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM) decreased the Streptococcus mutans biofilm, a leading contributor to plaque and cavities, by 90%....

Please, use adequate ventilation (with a heat exchanger if you need to keep A/C in the room) if you’re going to be resin printing inside. I don’t want to see all of you guys get cancer from this hobby.
It’s like people are taking the ideologies of the instance owners and labeling anyone in it to have the same ideologies. Where did this come from?
I generally agree, but hexbear exists mostly as a place where r/chapoTrapHouse users went after it got banned from reddit, so it tends to have a specific type of user.

KDS2010, a selective and reversible MAO-B inhibitor
This seems like a really odd result. We already have MAOI drugs, they were the first class of antidepressant drugs invented accidentally in the 50s when they found the tuberculosis drug iproniazid made people happier. The selective and reversible MAO-B inhibitor selegiline has been used for years to treat parkinson’s disease. None of these drugs are known to induce weight loss.

I guess I can understand how some may be concerned about the latter happening, but given mastodon is open source a hidden algorithm isn’t really possible (barring some esoteric technique like code obfuscation)
they spend an awfully small amount of time discussing the real and tangible harm that KF has brought to this world.
As callous as it may sound, it isn’t their job to talk about that. I’m sure there’s plenty of charities who’s job it is to do that you can support, not to mention the police who should investigating if they caused real harm.
The biggest, most significant reveal at this stage of development is that Pixelfed’s groups feature will be launching with compatibility for both Lemmy and Kbin

If you go to a bank and attempt to steal money, but you were unsuccessful in doing so, there wouldn’t be any loss, but you’d still go to jail and it’s widely accepted as wrong.
