    You're not supposed to eat the xylitol, just get it onto your teeth. So use xylitol toothpaste.

    A 100% effective "behavioural" covid vaccine (which also works for ALL other respitory diseases): Don't be indoors with other people.

    A new human doesn't come out of thin air, evolution has "trained" them with billions of inputs for billions of years.

    Handwashing is overrated IMO. Yes, it's important for doctors and nurses(who touch dozens of sick humans a day), people who are in contact with animals, and small kids who don't ha…

    I hope we do start to go back to the more decentralized way of living, where smart highly educated workers don't concentrate in the largest cities and instead live all over the cou…

    Isn't it interesting how these sort of exploits exist for probably every hardware/software out there, just that they are never discovered? Since the amount of people with the knowh…

    I doubt there are really too many of those. At the most, I'd say under 50k. The real reason for the fee is just to stop spammers on the App store. It probably blocks around 99% of …

    Cleanliness does not really matter that much. There is little evidence for mass surface transmission. This is a disease that is spread by breathing in air contaminated by a infecte…

    Don't care, i'll take a good web app over a shitty native app any day. Since native apps take much longer to develop and the UI toolkits are stuck in the 90s, it's pretty much give…
