This is one of the things that concerns me about a possible power vaccum, the possibility of 'women being put back into their place'.

"Remember, that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed. Everywhere I see bliss, from which I alone am irrevocably excluded. I was benevolent and good; misery made me a fiend. Make me happy, and I shall again be virtuous.", Frankenstein's…

This is nothing more than another form of racism. I hope their toaster murders them all in their sleep.

At the point where you can 'possess' a 'golem' because your 'soul' is housed in a container your example is very limiting. You dont need to change genders, you just possess another 'golem'... Or interface into a virtual world where physics can be controlled at imaginations whim.

That is EXACTLY what this is. It's preemptive hate mongering.

What is that robot had a 'soul', a mind of its own?

I could be wrong, but I believe Korea has preemptive rights for digital intellects, which are different than AIs.

As 'out there' as this seems, this is actually a very serious intellectual issue. The rights of ALL sentient beings must be protect. Preemptively granting rights and protections to sentient beings not yet encountered is EXTREMELY important morally.

It's funny BECAUSE ITS WRONG.

How can this seem useful? The agent that kills microbes is diluted more than 100 times its original volume, rendering it worthless.

Local humidity will play a HUGE part in this. If the sponge does not dry due to humid conditions the bacteria will not be ripped apart. It should be noted when someone says something kills germs it is always assumed to be less than 100% unless otherwise stated.

Let's play ask the PhD.

If you cant find sources on how dehydration kills organisms i dont know what to tell you. I'm sure you have seen those germ killing sponges. The way those sponges kill germs is they are designed to allow the water to evaporate away quickly. Dried fruit, fungus, vegetables, meat... They are dried to preserve them. The…

Try pretreating the area with spray and wash, or the detergent you are going to use for the entire load.

Well, the mouth wash doesnt work. And the bonds of the peroxide degrade very fast, and when diluted with that much water would be worthless.

Since this is NOT AT ALL BENEFICIAL, sure.

I wish I could promote this comment.

The problem is IT WILL NOT KILL GERMS. average washer is 40 gallons. lets assume just for a moment that it only gets 20 gallons... that is still 160 cups to 1 cup... not enuf to kill any germs at all. This article made the vein in my forehead bulge and tweek.

1 cup of 96% alcohol diluted by 40 gallons (320 cups)... Still worthless.

I'm not a germ phobe. I dont always wash my hands before i eat, or use the bathroom I will drop sushi on the flor and eat it. But germs make things smell. And babies, children, and lady parts can rely biological material that could cause health problems, or at least be smelly.
