Sandel 3, Bi Z. A. Blaiore4,5, Roman M. Wittig5,6,John C. Mitani7, Robert Dudley1,8Human attraction to alcohol may derive from an evolutionary association between ethanol and fruits consumed byanimals in nature. Fermentative yeasts are widespread in the terrestrial biosphere, and simple carbohydrates un-derpinning ethanol production are commonplace within fruits. We determined ethanol concentrations withinfruits representing a substantial portion of the diet of our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees. Ripe fruit pulpfrom 20 angiosperm species in Côte d’Ivoire and Uganda contained an average value of 0.31 (± 0.21 SD) and 0.32%(± 0.20) ethanol (weight/weight), respectively, as scaled by annual chimpanzee feeding time per species at eachsite. Chimpanzees typically eat ~4.5 kilograms of fruit per day, corresponding to an estimated ethanol ingestion of14 grams (±9), or the equivalent of 1.4 (±0.9) standard drinks by international standards. These findings are con-sistent with the hypothesis that ethanol is widespread within tropical fruits and that modern predisposition to al-cohol consumption derives from ancestral exposure to this psychoactive substance among frugivorous primates."

Last week a paper came out, showing that chimpanzees daily consume significant amounts of alcohol. A thread where I walk through why the paper matters, then the paper itself.

Human body design flaws I would like to discuss with the product designer: why the fuck does banging your elbow into anything cause such disproportionate pain levels.

I just hit my elbow on a door frame and I saw my life flash before my eyes.

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

We are discussing age verification to access the internet. If you don't want your child to access specific content on the internet, the solution is to parent your child, not to have the state forcibly remove the security, civil liberties, anonymity, and privacy of every adult using the internet.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

noted

I think most people severely underestimated how much fascism and kleptocracy would triumph through the surrender and default of forces that should have opposed it.

Image of a screenshot of news headline, saying, "WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook Forced Consent & Consent Bypass / 16 June 2025 Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3
