Is there any way to fix Marcus Gunn syndrome? My facial expressions are so awkward because of this. It makes me look really ugly.

Should I visit an ophthalmologist or a plastic surgeon? Is there even a corrective surgery for this?

Can somebody explain to me if this is going to be the next bitcoin due to this "burn" mechanic that continuously reduces the supply? Is this at all plausible?

I'm confused.
what causes me to move?
my muscles? what causes my muscles to move?
the motor cortex? what causes the motor cortex to function?
Electricity? what causes electrical activity?
moving particles? what causes the particles to move?
other moving particles to act on them?
that doesn't really answer the question though, so what's next?

If we take newton's cooling law as a good approximation for heat transfer then it takes about the same amount of time to get cold water and lukewarm water to boil, which isn't an obvious fact plus, hot water does freeze faster than cold water in some cases.
I hate the fucking comment section full of retards that are probably from the 2+2=whatever fanclub acting like they've got more than three brain cells, dunning kruger at its finest right here.

Why does climate change matter?

No.13328763 ViewReplyLast 50OriginalReport
The Earth had a meteor wipe out nearly all life and turn the planet into an ash covered wasteland yet it completely recovered. Why the fuck should anybody care about climate change? It's not going to destroy the planet. Besides, if you really cared about stopping people from polluting the planet you'd just nuke the third world shitholes like India, China, and Africa that cause it instead of pretending like it's white people's fault and responsibility to solve it.

If the reason is that it'll kill humans it's literally a self solving problem because the population will go down again.

You are shown a set of four cards placed on a table, each of which has a number on one side and a colored patch on the other side. The visible faces of the cards show 3, 8, red and purple.
You are told that if a card shows an even number on one face, then its opposite face is red.
Which 2 cards should you flip to see if that sentence is true or false?

Catching covid twice?

No.13339496 ViewReplyOriginalReport
For starters I realize asking for medical advice on 4chan is retarded, but I'm going to post here anyways. About 5 weeks ago, me and the people I live with all became sick. I wasn't concerned but my roommate got tested and came back positive. I lost smell and taste. On the 8th or 9th day I woke up with symptoms so severe I had go to the ER. They said I tested positive for covid. I recovered after that.

Fast forward to 7 days ago, I became sick again. The symptoms were exactly the same, but this time more intense. Everything I read online said that reinfections are extremely rare. A few days ago, again my symptoms became so severe I went to the hospital. I checked the calendar and it had been exactly 1 month since the first time I went to the ER.

They gave me a few tests for mono/strep throat/etc, and then they also administered a covid test. The doctor told me it's just procedure but that theres "almost no way" I should test positive and told me the same thing I read online, that reinfection are extremely rare.

I got the results today and they told me it was positive.

Does this mean I actually got reinfected? Or could it just be from before? Does anyone know more about this? As I look online I find different sources vary, but the general trend I have seen is that reinfection is rare and usually milder, not more severe, than the first infection.

If Earth and Mars switched place, why would days last one hour longer?

No.13337740 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Earth would still be the same size, so wouldn't there be more days because rotating over the Sun would take longer? I really don't know anything about astrology.
Sorry if this is completely retarded.

If we accept that there are extraterrestrial craft from another star system that are visiting our planet...
What assumptions can we make about their intentions and current states of technology?

Shouldn't they have an AI/AGI with them, that would recognize our use of radio waves, and begin trawling the internet for information, passively. Although once it figures out our connection protocols, wouldn't it attempt to connect directly and begin collecting information?
