Drinks from an Erlenmeyer flask full of glowing liquid, then immediately clutches my chest and falls to the floor behind a conveniently placed laboratory bench, writhing and shrieking while thunder crashes overhead and ominous music swells, and when I stand up again I'm wearing a magical girl dress.

So if I understand correctly, not only are 8% of our genes inherited from viruses, and not only is like half of it microbial in nature, the human half of it is not even just our own because there is (possible) gene transmission in the womb from 1)the mom, 2)previous foetuses developped in the womb (so your siblings born or unborn), and 3)even the grandmother

The more I learn about biology the less I see any form of life as a distinct, separate organisms. Seems like we're all much more porous than was believed for a long time.

See, our first mistake was trying to have a civilization in northern Europe between October and February. The darkest three months of the year should be for staying home under the blankets, midwinter festivals, and getting blind drunk when the sun goes down at 4 pm like the bog gods intended.

I think it's a common misconception that domesticating animals is somewhat like enslaving them. It really is more of a symbiotic relationship. No wild animal would have willingly put up with early humans if they didn't get something out of it. Wolves wouldn't have stayed with us and become dogs if they weren't getting food and safety out of it. Many large herbivores that are now domesticated could and would have easily trampled their early human captors or broken their enclosures open if they didn't have a reason to stay. Sometimes individual animals still do if we don't give them what they need.

The animals that have stayed with us for thousands of years have evolved to cooperate with us better. Dogs have additional facial muscles around their eyes that wolves lack in order to mimic human facial expressions. Sheep grow their wool perpetually while their wild counterparts don't because a bigger fleece means they're more likely to be allowed to breed and be kept around. Domestic dairy cows produce much more milk than wild bovine species and domestic hens lay more eggs. Do you know how energy costly producing eggs or milk is for an animal? It's pretty intense! They wouldn't be able to do that if we hadn't given them the food and safety from predators and the elements to.

And we really need to show these animals respect and gratitude for what they give us by taking excellent care of them. They gave up a lot to be with us, often including the means to take care of themselves in the wild. That's a huge reason why I'm not against using animal products, but I hate factory farming. They are still living, breathing creatures with needs and feelings. They deserve a comfortable life and, when the time comes, a humane death.

I love the word "partner"

Are we married? Are we dating? Are we running a small business together? Are we in the middle of an elaborate plan to kill an ancient godlike being?

freezing cold take here but maybe religious medical discrimination is bad actually and you should in fact not be allowed to deny someone medical care that you personally don't agree with.
