I never did. Altho I was a Muslim kid growing up post 9/11 so I think that played into it

>considering natural levels of testosterone vary considerably between humans, couldn't it be considered fairer to allow steroid use provided total levels are below a particular lev…

At that point you still have a natural production, it's just less than at your lifetime peak. You can still destabilize your hormone signaling further and get symptoms like hypogon…

Part of the reason they've gotten so much heat is because of cases of underage girls selling photos on that site for some time before they're caught. I don't know if they've found …

Sorry to hear that, hopefully this can be some consolation >LB1's height is estimated to have been 1.06 m (3 ft 6 in). The height of a second skeleton, LB8, has been estimated at 1…

Interesting. There are already a few studies about caffeine and the brain-- while drinking caffeine can decrease the chances of dementia, this effect reverses if you drink too much…

Death meditations are common in a lot of faiths. In Islam it's mentioned in hadith, Christianity has the practice of memento mori. And even in Time there was a tradition that durin…

>Micro plastics are a significant concern but their extreme surface area to volume ratio is associated with a short individual lifespan Isn't the whole issue that they DON'T break …

There have been numerous cases of finding plastic waste in some fish, and because it doesn't decay organically it can form blockages in their digestive tracts. Whatever they're usi…

Well, rather they shouldn't pick a profession dedicated to not doing that thing. Even if they were straight, I believe relationships wouldn't be allowed for them.

That could be a part of it, but there is a documented effect of marijuana "triggering" mental illness in those who are susceptible to mental illness. For a certain portion of the p…

DNP was banned after causing a lot of deaths. Still a fascinating drug, I don't remember exactly how it worked but it disrupted respiration so that less ATP was produced from elect…

Plenty of parents push their kids, but due to luck or natural talent most won't make it. In a lot of ways this kid was just insanely lucky

Eh given it's a current issue there's no surprise that someone might connect the two. It's not gonna be productive of course, but at this point it's just about expected in a area w…

Not if the slot machine had an insurance company payout for them

Islam also doesn't treat bodies with preservative. Generally now people are buried at most in a wooden coffin. It's somewhat modern that we have coffins made of processed wood and …

I don't know about that, these lines of thinking seem dismissive. There are many valid lines of thought I've read right here on HN-- like one was if 75% of the 1800s generation wer…

I believe the more relevant examples here are the issues facing many low to middle class Americans today. Non-elites are significantly less likely to afford homes, afford marriage …

>people will directly care about the future of the planet/environment/global warming I don't think that's a given. Many people flat out don't believe in human-caused global warming…

During the civil rights era, there were people that said "yeah I don't like racism but it's people choice to ban blacks from their businesses. I totally empathize with you it's awf…

I agree. I think one way to demonstrate that is to consider a particularly contentious debate. Say, the Palestine-Israel conflict. If you're on the side of Palestine, agreeing with…

What's that phrase? 'Capitalism will sell the rope used to hang itself'..? It's kinda like that IMO. If the country has a big enough economy they can indeed break the rules and eve…

I don't think it's the ui that bothers people, it's the accusations of workers rights issues
