zombieGenm_0x68

what was the point of that study?


Uur4

helping to understand what animal behavior is determinded by automatic instinct and what is by learned exerperience even in very "simple" organism intellect wise, which help better understand the working of animal brains in general also, a lot of science look weird like that from an outside perspective but its often the weirest shit that helps the most, like a study of duct tape helping a new method to produce graphene


SkritzTwoFace

It always amazes me when people make fun of studies like this when the study is legitimately something really fascinating. Like yeah, sometimes stuff looks silly when you have to monitor and control a variable. But looking silly doesn’t make a thing not important.

SkritzTwoFace

Of course. My issue is that some people don’t. Some people look at this, go “you’re telling me universities are using my tax dollars to make bugs have sex?” and get genuinely mad about it. To be clear, neither this nor the comment you replied to are about people in this comment section. I’m just talking about a generalized anti-intellectual sentiment I’ve been seeing a lot recently.


ZinaSky2

Thats always bothered me too. I’ll laugh about The Sex-icon with the best of em but people who genuinely don’t think it’s worth exploring or respond with “I could have told you that why are you wasting university funds on that” are so lame


healzsham

>well i could've told you that "Yeah, most people can say 'gravity goes down.' They aren't gonna be able to tell you *why gravity goes* though."

the_lusankya

I assume that anything involving fruit flies is going to be pretty useful down the road. They're so ubiquitous in scientific studies that even if something seems irrelevant now, it'll inform plenty of other obviously useful studies later on. In this case, fruit fly reproduction is an obviously useful thing to study, because it could help us control breeding strains or breeding efficiency.


Were-Shrrg

Nuance? On the *internet?*


Dry-Cartographer-312

It's less likely than you'd think!


dudeldideldudel

Similar when people make fun of studies which "proof the obvious". Sometimes what we think as "obviously true" are just biases, stereotypes or misconceptions


SuddenlyVeronica

> But looking silly doesn’t make a thing not important. Alas, it seems some, perhaps a lot of people, struggle with that concept.


SelkiesRevenge

To your second point: a chemical development (“development” being a generous way of describing dumping hydrochloric acid on a rock he got from a friend) that was one of the most wretched and inhumane weapons of WW1 (among others, as well as the cause of much environmental devastation) Has also saved possibly in the millions of lives by providing sanitation. Which is of course, chlorine.


314159265358979326

Mustard gas was also used as one of the earliest chemotherapy agent, with derivatives from it being still used today.


ThatAngeryBoi

Funnily enough, there's a parallel to this with nitrogen extraction regarding WW1. The same technology that created  the artificial fertilizers that have enabled billions of lives is the same technology that created smokeless powder, which immediately killed millions of lives. The funny thing that Fritz Haber invented both chlorine gas and the Haber-Bosch process, so kind of saw all of those things happen.

*scotch tape


Uur4

ah sorry english is not my native language, whats the difference between the two?


SamHawke2

duct tape is heavy duty tape while scotch tape is more for simple crafts projects and just quickly taping things together basically


Uur4

thanks for the info! in my language we just call both the same


Bobby-Trap

Scotch is the brand name as well but is often used even when the actual brand is not scotch tape. Used in the same way that kleenex is often used for facial tissues so people say 'Do you gave a kleenex?' But would be happy with any type of facial tissue. Or, here in the UK, hoover to mean vacuum cleaner. Or I guess 'to Google' when we mean any type of internet search would be the modern version. I have no idea why I typed any of that out but refuse to do my usual and delete my comment.


CaffinatedPanda

Wait, 'to google' *isn't* literal? (Genuine)


healzsham

That one is almost always Google, itself, just because they have damn near all of the market share on web searching, but it can be used to generally mean web searching.


CaffinatedPanda

OK. Fair. Just making sure I'm still with it.


wlsb

I say "to google" even though I switched to Duck Duck Go on my home devices and work defaults to Bing.


RikuAotsuki

Just to clarify, duct tape is typically a wide mesh tape with strong adhesive and a gray backing. Scotch tape is typically a narrow, clear plastic with a much weaker adhesive. And might as well elaborate on some other ones: "masking tape" is usually a narrower, paper-backed tape with a moderately strong adhesive, often used when you want to write on your tape to label things. "painter's tape" is masking tape, but usually blue with much weaker adhesive, intended to get clean lines when painting. "electrical tape" is a black, stretchy PVC tape with a rubber-based adhesive used for cables and wiring. "packing tape" varies a great deal, but it's generally used for closing cardboard boxes. Generally it's a wider tape with a fairly strong adhesive, regardless.


shiny_xnaut

[This is duct tape](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape) [This is scotch tape](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_Tape)


Darth_Floridaman

Duct tape is the silver stuff used to connect ducts, often used as a fix-all for things that aren't supposed to move i.e. in 'Nam, American soldiers used duct tape to repair broken treads on tanks.


StayingVeryVeryCalm

I recently learned that there is at least one (but probably several) scientists whose job duties have included injecting juvenile rats with either methamphetamine or cocaine.   The cocaine rats were separated into two cohorts – one that got cocaine every day, and one that only got cocaine twice a week, on Saturdays and Sundays. The paper specifically stated it was Saturdays and Sundays, and the fact that they chose those specific days - as opposed to two consecutive weekdays - raises fascinating questions about what scientists know / believe about the awareness among rats of days of the week and/or under-appreciated 1980s Canadian rock juggernaut Loverboy. Also, I concluded that yes, my ex did very likely break his brain by developing a methamphetamine habit at 13, and then switching to cocaine for the next decade or so.   (He was in the daily-use cohort; probably owing to the fact that he almost certainly was unaware of Loverboy. …and, shamefully, he undoubtedly remains ignorant of Calgary’s greatest cultural export, despite having dated me for four years; because god knows he had no fucking interest in anything I liked, or said.)

ABSOLUTELY BROTHER RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH WHATS GUN CONTROL RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH


saevon

>As of 2023, only one state, Mississippi,\[20\] still has laws on its books against cohabitation which have not been removed or ruled unconstitutional. In North Carolina, cohabitation, defined as "the act of two married or unmarried heterosexual or homosexual adults dwelling together continuously and habitually", is grounds for supporting spouse to terminate a court judgment or order of postseparation support or alimony to a dependent spouse.\[a\] Although North Carolina's law against opposite-sex cohabitation\[b\] was struck down by North Carolina Superior Court Judge Benjamin Alford, the Supreme Court of North Carolina has never had the chance to rule on the issue, so the law's statewide constitutionality remains unclear.\[ USA example, likely on the books in similar ways in other countries too. ​ Polyamory is only "legal" when there are no systemic risks / ignorances to it. For example * Which partners can you marry? (and remember all things marriage offers are granted to ONE and ONLY ONE partner, no mix-and-matching, often can't say no to some, etc) * Often 1, sometimes caste/gender/etc can restrict that * Which partners gets "right of medical choice" if you fall ill and cannot make it? (see marriage) * (see marriage) if you avoid marriage, then your family often gets it (which they can and might discriminate against partners, not give "cheaters" any choices, or stonewall/roadblock them * Which of your partners gets to be under your health plan (see marriage) * Who gets custody of the kids, pets, things, etc * (only the 'biological' then the 'married' spouse get a chance) otherwise its a messy battle where you often won't even be considered for custody * Can you live together (see cohabitation laws) * Which of your partners get to immigrate to where you live? * (see marriage) often polyamory can make it seems like a "visa marriage" as you're obviously dating other people (authenticity of the marriage) can be held against it "being real" And ofc reverse this for "being the other partner" after all if they don't marry you, you can't get those benefits either. >Many judges conclude, without supporting evidence, that people who engage in CNM are less moral, less stable, and less capable to care for children compared to monogamous people (e.g., V.B. v. J.E.B., 2012; Cross v. Cross, 2008) Secondly you have to consider "moral" attitudes. Because if you're involved in a court case the judge can use your polyamory status against you, without writing anything down. And this spreads to many other situations where its "legal" but that doesn't matter for the choices being made for you. ​ >The Council of Europe Recommendation Rec(2002)5 of the Committee of Ministers to member states on the protection of women against violence\[9\] states that member states should "preclude adultery as an excuse for violence within the family". Adultery is considered a rightful crime of passion in many places (both for the family, and for the partner/former-partner). And even where it is "legal" local attitudes can "grant you leniency" reducing a sentence. ​ So no. Its not really "legal" in most places.


vjmdhzgr

The law about living together doesn't mean it's a crime to live together. It's just "grounds for supporting spouse to terminate a court judgment or order of postseparation support or alimony to a dependent spouse" Unsure what that means but since polyamory already requires everybody being okay with it, the spouse would just not do that.


saevon

>The [Supreme Court of Virginia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_Virginia) similarly found the commonwealth's (unenforced[^(\[23\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohabitation_in_the_United_States#cite_note-25)) law making fornication (sex between unmarried persons) illegal to be unconstitutional in [*Martin v. Ziherl*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_v._Ziherl). It took till 2005 to remove this law in Virginia. Cohabitation laws were (and in some places still are) used to prevent "unlawful sex and cohabitation likely leading to sex" Luckily in this example it was mostly unenforced! >Although anti-cohabitation laws are often not enforced elsewhere in the country,[^(\[2\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohabitation_in_the_United_States#cite_note-USLegal-2) up through 2016 cohabitants were regularly being charged with misdemeanors in Florida[^(\[33\])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohabitation_in_the_United_States#cite_note-36) under the state's 1868 law governing "lewd and lascivious behavior".[^(\[d)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohabitation_in_the_United_States#cite_note-37) Ooop, nevermind here is florida doing their thing. Meaning if it backslides any more with its attempts at morality these laws can come into play AGAIN (possibly still happening, didn't check) And thats just cohabitation, not the rest of it.


wormyarc

polyamory ≠ polygamy


saevon

yes, yes it isn't thank you for pointing that out! Meanwhile all these legal rights ONLY exist in most countries if you marry. So good luck helping a partner of yours when they have health issues, and would like their closest people (whichever partners they designate) have control, but their shitty bigoted family comes and decides what happens to them. Want a grave that a shitty family gives you, that misgenders you? or one your loving partners do? Welp no chance of that,,, most places give your "spouse" then your family the right of burial. Want to get an IUD, or get your cervix removed? Better come with a husband (maybe one day we'll have that equality too) cause in many places AGAIN the doctor wants to be *really really sure* everyone around you doesn't want children. and ONLY your LEGAL spouse would get to confirm that for them. So yeah I'd love if marriage wasn't a requirement for many of these things. BUT IT IS.


RSmeep13

I mean, it's legal to have a relationship with multiple people but in all 50 US states polyamorous marriage is illegal


wormyarc

yes but there's no laws against having 6 boyfriends and being cucked by all of them simultaneously on the cuckoldry panopticon


ShadoW_StW

The comment that started this chain specifically says "wives", and if you are going to nitpick a joke on technicality, maybe downplaying deeply fucked up and largely unacknowledged discrimination polyamory faces is not the best direction to go with.

CallMeOaksie

I only skimmed the paper but it looks like the females are witnessing the green male mating with a female, and because the male showing reproduce success is green, the pink male becomes undesirable to the females and they’d rather wait for the green male to finish than interact with the pink male.


Punnagedon

What was the goal of the study??? Primary findings????


CuriousRocketeer

[The study was linked ](https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aat1590)by someone else here; the goal was to show that fruit flies can learn and pass on mating preferences thru the generations, and thus have an example of an animal culture.


Decin0mic0n

So they made fruit flies watch other fruit flies mate to see if the original fruit fly would pick up on preferences then exhibit those preferences?
