I really don’t like the fact that this category of genetically modified products won’t be labeled in any way, and there will be no way to tell whether I’m buying regular corn or corn whose genes have been altered by someone. It’s disgusting that laws like this are being passed.
I believe electricity is the closest thing to magic among the natural forces that we have managed to tame more or less. The entire history of humanity is a story of how we learned more cleverly to exploit the fact that the electron is a negatively charged particle, even the human being itself, and life itself, is a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, where the flow of protons drives the rotation of ATP synthase and produces the energy of life
I used to think teeth were the worst-designed part of the body, until I learned that DNA polymerase can make an error during replication and it goes unnoticed, and then a few months later hundreds of thousands of malignant lymphocytes appear throughout the entire body of somebody you love most, and due to their exponential growth they invade every tissue.

You don’t need to turn off the light to turn on your thinking apparatus in your head, it’s enough to start with any question and keep asking why until it inevitably becomes interesting what life actually is
It’s interesting, of course, but for example the Ukrainian budget depends on donations for about 60%, yet this dump doesn’t seem to rush to publish articles with equally loud headlines about Ukraine. Or about the US with its trillions in debt, or the UK, France, and most EU countries with huge debts exceeding their annual GDP.
Took this picture close to the place where I’m living, people just come home with the cart and then drop it outside. This is Germany https://ibb.co/rGXfb0PY
Well, what did you expect? if competition is banned, they can churn out whatever, charge whatever they want, and it'll still get bought with tax money.
