We have gold (and elements heavier than iron needed for life) - probably made in neutron star collisions that didn’t trigger a black hole - long before the sun formed. Not true of most stars - most are less metallic. Our sun is 10x heavier than the average star in our galaxy, yet…

Corn, oats, wheat, soybeans, alfalfa, clover are a few GMO crops that are roundup resistant. A liter of Roundup sprayed on a field takes between ~4 and 242 days to biodegrade into a half liter of roundup (slower in bone dry soils or oxygen deprived flooded soil). Roundup blocks several amino acids from being produced…

Humans naturally contain radioactive potassium and carbon 14 isotopes - about 4000 decay events per second per 100 kg adult. Given an ovum mass of 0.0000000036kg - that egg should witness a destructive flash every 11.11 billion seconds or so given ideal storage conditions- about 352 years. At minimum a 7% risk of…
