What are some interesting news articles you've read lately /qa/?
https://archive.ph/fEOkdI was surprised after reading this that of all companies Apple implemented a privacy measure that lost them money.
No.2157
>>2156don't fret, every so often a politician shows up, tries to become a new king, and
royally fucks everything in the country up
No.2158
>>2152This is so sad. The Commonwealth of Canada must be devastated.
No.2259
>>2258It cures your alzheimers but has Agent Orange
No.2261
>>2259An acceptable trade. I'd take a few more months of cognitive ability for irreparable genetic damage. Not like I'd plan on reproducing at like 70 anyways.
No.2309
here's some boson news:
https://atlas.cern/Updates/Briefing/Run2-Higgs-Massthey were able to precisely measure the mass of the higgs boson
No.2403
This is a nice article about an arrowhead made from meteoric iron found in Switzerland:
https://ulukayin.org/morigen-arrowhead-bronze-age-meteoritic-iron/It goes into a lot more detail about meteoric iron itself and it's quite informative. I just saw the link to the article on a news aggregate itself, but the website seems like it has lots of good information like this so I think I've found a new bookmark.
Man, imagine being a prehistoric person and finding this stuff. It really would be a legendary material from the gods.
No.2508
If the comment section alone weren't enough to make me doubt humanity
No.2531
Either way, seems pretty boson.
No.2532
No surprise at all to me that a divine symbol for a law of nature would exist at the most imperceptible levels.
No.2554
>>2553Reminds me of Chagas
No.2555
>>2553I saw something about that.
They are saying it's probably from Carpet python poop, well I don't intent to eat Carpet python poop and I don't even know if they are in my area so I should be fine.
No.2556
>>2555I hope they dont get restricted in captivity, they're excellent captives that eat like boas!
No.2557
Maybe Kuru was caused by these instead of cannibalism
No.2558
>>2555From the comments, people seemed to suggest that swimming in water with an open wound or getting water into your nose can cause this to happen.

No.2678
If ETs end up being grays and reptilians, a lot of people will have to eat crow
No.2679
I have to eat to live
No.2680
saw it
No.2681
Though I think the most disappointing outcome would be intelligent life, but too primitive to contact
No.2682
>>2681the probability of intelligent life is likely decades after finding microbial life.
No.2683
Unless the greys were real after all
No.2684
>>2683alien life wouldn't be resembling humans in such a distinctive way. Such an anthropomorphic interpretation of alien evolution.
No.2685
>>2684I think that due to convergent evolution alien life would look quite close to the life we have here, so humanlike aliens would be quite possible as well.
No.2686
>>2685They would obviously be dinosaur based.
But on that note their physiology would certainly be based around the atmospheric conditions. I think the only. destinctive trait would be the existence of developed hands, but bipedal sentient life is just a novelist's wish for relatable scifi characters
No.2687
>>2686Maybe. It's possible that mammals would evolve to become the dominate lifeform eventually anyway. I think environment would also have a lot to do with that, even ignoring atmosphere. Even if the conditions were identical to earth but the temperature was different or maybe the biomes developed differently it might be that Dinosaur like creatures could never become dominant or even that Mammals could never dominate either.
I think that it would be similar in that we would recognise what we were looking at and be able to understand it and we may even have similar looking analogues that exist now or in prehistory but not similar in that it would necessary end up completely like we are now. Though even then, with how vast Space is there is statistically bound to be a planet like us out there somewhere even if it's not the norm.
But then we also don't know what non-Avian dinosaurs would evolve into given enough time(or even Avian ones for that matter), it might be that whatever the dominate group is eventually if given enough time intelligent bipedal life will develop. Or again, maybe the opposite and we are the product of some incredibly unlikely evolutionary circumstances and maybe life could only develop to something near human but not human enough to form a society like we have done.
No.2691
The articles about the CIA whistleblower getting charged with cp possession.
Kind of classic, really.
No.2692
>>2684>>2686The idea is that greys were visiting us
because of the similarity of species, they wanted the secret to our fecundity as a species, apparently.
No.2693
>>2692That is to say, that bipeds are likely the exception not the rule.
It would be interesting if to see if the rules of life, biological kingdoms, niches etc are the same on other planets if environments are similar
No.2695
