What people are saying
The overall tone shows active curiosity, with posts referencing specific aspects of the research, such as the relationship between cannibalism and male investment, demonstrating interest and deeper engagement. Words like 'fascinating' and mentions of biological details contribute to a positive, enthusiastic atmosphere that recognizes the study's scientific importance without implying major societal threats or controversies.
Most discussions acknowledge the research findings, with some recognizing the surprising biological implications. For example, one post references the article directly, suggesting acceptance of the study’s conclusions.
The posts demonstrate a high level of curiosity, especially with references to detailed aspects of the research like increased reproductive effort and sexual cannibalism, indicating active engagement and interest in the topic.
There is moderate engagement, with users discussing related biological questions, commenting on implications, and sharing interesting facts. Some posts include direct links or references to further information, showing thoughtful participation.
While the discussions are lively, they remain relatively casual and personal, indicating that the publication sparks curiosity rather than profound societal impact. Some posts hint at scientific relevance but lack widespread influence.
Abstract in brief
- The study investigates how sexual cannibalism in praying mantids affects male investment in their offspring, focusing on whether males allocate more body materials to fertilized eggs when they are cannibalized.
- Results show that females who engaged in cannibalism of their mates had eggs and reproductive tissues with more male-derived amino acids, and these females produced more eggs after cannibalism, indicating increased reproductive effort.
- Additionally, males transfer a significant portion (about 25%) of their amino acids through their ejaculate regardless of cannibalism, suggesting males invest heavily in offspring both directly via cannibalism and indirectly via sperm.]

hey look, down this driveway, behind the main building is.. a 9-car garage and large surface lot. Could be housing! it's 3 short blocks from market st/castro muni. someone offer this property owner a deal to build in "backyard"/garage #SanFrancisco #housing #sfyimby #yimby #sf
All the usual russian propaganda bullshit about "invincible weapons" Except that any nuclear submarine already is that in practice, so MAD still works, and these "wunderwaffen" mean absolutely zero in reality. In fact that they need to post this crap tells us how desperate Russia is starting to be

And I say this not as poetry but with a philology degree and BA's in psychology and sociology. The importance of art is HUGELY diminished in the individualistic Western thinking these days, but if you really dig into these things, it's definitely there and it's huge.
Your son has eaten well.
The shitty thing about all this is, coffee has been way too cheap for too long. It needed to get more expensive, it just sucks that none of the increase is going to the farmers or other workers who need it; it's going straight to the Trump regime.

Ik begrijp de teleurstelling bij GroenLinks/PvdA. Een avondje zuur op de socials mag. Maar daarna misschien toch inzien dat het, in de politieke realiteit, met een groot D66 waarschijnlijk de enige kans is om eindelijk eens te regeren?

I’m so sorry. One thing that helped me was to plant a flowering shrub on my cat’s grave — it’s been 12 years and we still call them Hamlet’s lilacs when they bloom.
YASSS!
I immediately took note and started laughing at the next part, where he says he likes everyone there, though. Like...did he just call his whole audience ugly?
LOL too cute!
Just like she did on Epstein's plane!
Don't know who that is, way younger than me, but I can see why.

Hey so I figure to share these couple moments I recall from childhood. First one is (and to this day I still don't know why) I recall seeing Watership Down in school. In 1st/2nd grade. And kinda forgot about it until went looking for it around late 00s.
beginning to think Anfield aint so magical?
After a poor first 15 mins the outfield defenders and midfielders played well. Sarr & Bergvall need to be starting. Shout out to Palhinha at CB. Can't legislate for the GK.
Welles.
Ahhhh these are both awesome!! ; V ;/ Thanks so muchhh!~
Update: it has now changed and looks like yours
Didn’t they do that to Biden? BTW Biden is seen in the community & appears very lucid. He doesn’t have any handlers directing him around.

Some words also just aren’t used as often in one language vs. another. Stumped a Spanish professor once bc I asked how to say “driveway.” He was baffled and said he’d never heard anyone talk about driveways in Spanish. I think I ended up going with “house sidewalk” or “house pavement” or something.

Does that actually exist or is this a theoretical?

You can thank Elon Musk for this horseshit.
Yep, especially given his injury history
It's hard because I'm afraid I'll miss something catastrophic. PTSD and TDS.
I’m supposed to go to dinner tonight but it’s cold outside. Idk mayne

But the conditions under which we, as a society, accept people as fallible humans worthy of understanding and forgiveness really are limited to a minority, right? Straight white guys.

実際に地震で本棚倒壊したからなあ(本当にたまたま偶然、その部屋に居なかったので命拾いした。本棚が倒れてつっかえ棒状態になり1週間くらい扉開かなかったので、あの部屋に居たら直接倒壊でしななくても屋内で閉じ込められていたな)。あの時の悲惨画像あるけど、本好きが朝からあんなの見たら心臓に悪いので貼るのはやめておく。そこからの反省(?)でオール壁面本棚&落下防止バーに家中リフォームした(そしてそれでも寝室には本棚置いていない)。

Whenever women or femmes post hairdo or outfit options and ask for input, I want to say "both." Or specifically for hairdos "half & half." I always remember to stfu though, and that's the important part.
