incestuous reproduction

No.14384608 ViewReplyOriginalReport
If a son impregnates his mother, does the resulting child have 75% of his mothers genes and ~25% of his grandfather's genes (plus some mutations)?

And would brother-sister offspring really just be like a surrogate child of their mother and father?

Inarguable evidence that global warming is fake

No.14385332 ViewReplyOriginalReport
The Pacific Northwest is currently experiencing it's first significant April snowstorm in over 80 years. The Pacific Northwest heatwave last summer was major international headline news, but the same outlets are not giving equal coverage to the snowstorm.
Why not?
Because global warming is fake, its just a big media hoax. They just cover the heatwaves and ignore the extreme cold to make it seem like global warming is real and that is enough to pull the wool over on 99% of midwits.

F: Fulcum

E: Effort

Class 1: L - F - E (scissors)
Class 2: F - L - E (wheelbarrow)
Class 3: F - E - L (biceps)

what type of lever is the best type of lever? is it possible to build a lever that doesn't fit any of those 3 types?

Consensus on Fever?

No.14385162 ViewReplyOriginalReport
In recent years, I have noticed that when I get sick, I get immediately high fever, like 40-42° C (104 - 107 F), this lasts typically one night only. After that a day or two of feeling shitty and its over.

Yesterday I managed to get the "hi" on the thermometer, which means, higher than possible to measure, probably above 42°C. I paniced a bit took an aspirin, which did nothing. Took half a paracetamol in addition and that slightly lowered it.

I measure below my arm and always try different thermometers, and It's always about 40.

Is this normal? Why is my immune system going full monke over some sniffles?

What is current consensus on the fever question?

Dr. John Campbell and many others suggest that fever is necessary for the functioning of the immune system and you should almost never treat it.

Others suggest that anything above 39° kills the brain and organs.

Some suggest that high fever is good, because it kills the infection quickly. If you take antipyretics it prolongs the illness. Seems to pan out, because I never get sick for more than a day or two.

Are there any anthropologists lurking? Anonymous here, AMA me anything, I'm the guy you're interested in, I've already been published in dozens of journals across a myriad of different scientific disciplines and the slack jawed authors still haven't even managed to really scratch the surface, so theres still plenty to cover, should be an interesting thread.
