‘FUN WITH LASERS’ [OC] by Jessica in c/comicstrips@lemmy.world
[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 2 weeks ago

Cute comic, but for the unaware:

According to John Ciribassi, DVM, DACVB, the problem with laser pointers is that they lack an endpoint. Nothing is ever physically caught. Even if the cat is “successful,” there's no reward. Such pointless play, says Dr. Ciribassi, can cause some cats to develop a compulsive disorder.

Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game? by Jessica in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Vitamin D deficiency as well!

Nearly 42% of adults in the United States have a vitamin D deficiency. This figure rises to almost 63% in Hispanic adults and 82% in African American adults.

If your shadow is longer than you are tall, you are not getting enough ultraviolet radiation to produce vitamin D. You need about 15 minutes a day.

Some of the symptoms are fatigue and depression

TIL eating 1 gram polar bear liver can be fatal due to an overdose of vitamin A that makes your skin fall off by Jessica in c/til@lemmy.world
[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Very few actually! Apparently some Dutch explorers back in the 1500s trying to sail over the top of the globe got stuck in ice and ended up killing and eating a polar bear and documented their illnesses

We didn't figure out what happened to them until the 1940s

A healthy human liver contains 575 international units (IU) of vitamin A per gram while a polar bear's liver contains between 24,000 and 35,000 IU per gram. Compare that to the tolerable upper level of vitamin A intake for a healthy adult human: 10,000. Signs of toxicity generally occur when approximately 25,000 to 33,000 IU are consumed.

Illness severity depended on how much liver the explorers consumed, but symptoms typically included drowsiness, sluggishness, irritability, severe headache, bone pain, blurred vision and vomiting. While milder cases merely involved flaking around the mouth, some accounts reported cases of full-body skin loss. Even the thick skin on the bottoms of a patient's feet could peel away, leaving the underlying flesh bloody and exposed. The worst cases ended in liver damage, hemorrhage, coma and death.

I looked into it, and apparently she spent months fighting with them to replace her wheelchair. In the meantime, she developed sores from being in a generic wheelchair, and she ended up needing two emergency surgeries, and either passed away due to complications, or due to the sores directly.

This is out of date and Deluge is S tier.

It was rewritten and 2.0 came out in 2022 to address the slowdown issues when seeding a thousand plus torrents

I tried browsing this community and using https://fedi-search.com/, but I can't find anything. Does anyone know if it can? If not, are there other applications that can?
