Sweating is kinda important for not dying in the heat. Without it you will actually die.

The norm through history has also been to sell daughters, force children into work before their teens and die young. I'm not ready to laud histories norms over ours.

That's because it is. Not quite late 80, mid 90's perhaps. I saw this a long time ago.

This is the greatest, most applicable, important article I've seen in many years. What it says will be the basis of social development for the next century at least. And I will post it to my Facebook and nobody will read or comment on it. Within an hour someone will post an image macro or an update about their dinner…

They tried but could not get the cat into the MRI chamber

What are you on about? I, like many people, have hundreds of pictures I took myself that look exactly like what I saw, I can personally confirm this to you as could they. Night vision is green or grey, we all know when we're seeing it and it's of things we could see in daylight hours later.

Then don't show us the pictures, sorry paintings, like you're presenting a vista we could see for ourselves if we could zoom in or go there. If it looks boring to start off with then it is boring. Scientifically valuable as it may be, it looks boring. Consider what you achieve by falsely colouring and emphasising the…

I saw some people actually defending this and attacking those who have a problem with it. I read their profiles. They've been here a matter of days and defending this revelation is by far their most vigorous posting.

Right. A child spends a month separated in another room daily because the rest of his class are reading a book his parents don't allow him to read. He knows it, they all know, and that their parents were OK with it - weird. Everyone gets told. Every day he's asked to leave now. People ask him what he does while he's…

I only really checked this article to make sure someone has said this, but of course being io9 it's the first comment.

Sheltering kids from the experiences they should be sharing with their peers is How To Screw Up Your Child 101.

I had flying insect in ear related traumas twice. While both times were awake, they made me neurotic enough to always wear earplugs to sleep. I've been doing that for ten years now. It also makes everything quiet. Everyone should do it frankly. Fuck insects. What are they even doing fucking around near people, they…

Sounds like they've suffered a case of the Molyneauxs. But they're dealing with it before they disappoint millions of people rather than after, so maybe it's in remission.

Singapore has a whole governmental department dedicated to dating. Literally an official national dating service. They have major problems with social stratification and prejudice there preventing relationships from forming and children being born. They won't be able to fix it. It's the same problem western nations…

I was more certain than anything else that by the time I was 12 I would be a wizard. I knew exactly how I'd bring about world peace and end famine via this power and I believed the cause was so just and my desire to undertake it so strong there was no way I wouldn't be granted PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER by the universe.…

Sorry to be blunt but I don't take what those in positions of authority spoonfeed me, unlike many people. I don't care what excuses they make about it being an accident. It's not hard to not drift your small boat into a whale in a fleet of sleeping whales at the surface of the sea especially when you are a wildlife…

I saw that movie and you're the second to say this and I still don't get it, would help if people used a name instead of 'that guy' unless it's part of the joke I'm not getting
