Only 10 to 15 percent of people are left-handed. @popsci@flipboard.com explains the science behind it. Does the fediverse mirror the world? Vote in our poll!

I imagine that there will be a slightly higher reporting of non-right-handedness in Activity Pub instances,because we think differently.
In the meantime until I find out why Evolution keeps eating my TODOs, here's an SQL query to get the names of all the tasks (seemingly still hanging out in the database?) https://bin.autonomic.zone/?363c249c6b8f3f15#kFZH6gYgtzAqrx7a5GHwTyi2YmS77A4dUdGTbtbVWhH
🐒💭 A psychologist at #Utrecht University tested #chimpanzees at #Uganda’s Ngamba Island Sanctuary in five experiments using boxes and hidden food, finding they weigh evidence and change decisions when confronted with contradictory information. The results suggest rational thinking evolved in our primate ancestors and challenges the assumption that reasoned decision-making defines humanity.

This very Buddhist idea of no boundaries between you and the "surroundings." This very Buddhist idea that "life" requires, is co-equal and identical to, this planetary system. Including the sun and the moon!
Two of the ideas that are "subtle" and "non-intuitive" to the modern Western mind, but in themselves self-evident and trivial. My favorite catchphrase, maybe the best of the two or three possibly original thoughts I have ever had, is:
"Ecology is economics without externalities."
(Or surpluses, but alliteration. Also tautology. Anyway.)
Students ask me iF vIrUsEs NeEd ceLLs tO LiVe aRe ThEy ReAlLy aLiVe?
And I answer "If I sent you to the rings of Saturn, you're not alive. If you need the biosphere to live are you really alive?"

Sagt man für die Evolution, die entsprechend der Theorie Darwins stattfindet "darwinistische Evolution" oder "darwinsche Evolution"?

Since many people are canceling their streaming services, I can recommend a new documentary series from NOVA PBS about the origin story of Homo sapiens. It includes several recent discoveries on the different human species, as well as the impact that climate change had on our evolution.
The first episode was aired yesterday and you can watch it for free thanks to public television 💚 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjH71hmrGGQ
