PepeGomez··on Soma Water Filters Are Worthless
Or you could get a conductometer and measure the purity yourself.
PepeGomez··on Enhancement of human color vision by breaking the binocular redundancy
More or less immediately, as far as I can remember. I used polarizers from an old LCD display.
PepeGomez··on Enhancement of human color vision by breaking the binocular redundancy
I guess it would work with one filter as well.
PepeGomez··on Enhancement of human color vision by breaking the binocular redundancy
I once made glasses that made me see polarization. It made plant leaves look beautiful.
PepeGomez··on The Brilliance of Dwarf Fortress (2011)
There's a HD version on Steam.
PepeGomez··on Stop Fabricating Travel Security Advice
It's only meant to intimidate people. There is no way it could serve a real security purpose.
PepeGomez··on The Google project to put an aquarium full of water bears inside a phone
No.

The line between microdosing and tripping balls is thinner than many people realize.
PepeGomez··on Bees can train each other to use tools
I think the more important question is, if even insects can be this smart with their tiny brains, what the hell are our huge brains for?
PepeGomez··on Why Is Cancer More Common in Men?
Why? It seems to be the only theory that actually fits the evidence, unlike SENS and similar nonsense.

They have more iron in their bodies.

PepeGomez··on Copper is key in burning fat
That's nonsense. Please get tested by a real doctor.
PepeGomez··on Copper is key in burning fat
As far as my knowledge goes, that seems to be completely made up.
PepeGomez··on Copper is key in burning fat
Those are the signs of deficiency, not overdose. What made you think you suffered from copper overload?
PepeGomez··on Copper is key in burning fat
Nonsense. It only happens after prolonged massive intakes (A man who intentionally took 60mg/day for a year and 30mg for several years before that is one of the few examples found in literature.) and the signs are liver and kidney failure. It's completely unrealistic you could get that much from anything resembling normal food, vegan or otherwise.
PepeGomez··on Copper is key in burning fat
Getting too much copper is virtually impossible unless you have a rare genetic disorder. The excess copper is excreted in bile. The defficiency on the other hand is widespread, it doesn't show in the blood tests and the symptoms are both vague and insidious. (Chiefly a constant lack of energy, brain fog and incurable anemia)
PepeGomez··on Speak IPA – Text to Speech for International Phonetic Alphabet
This "project" specifically. It conflates ɾ and t and it ignores most non-english IPA letters.
PepeGomez··on Speak IPA – Text to Speech for International Phonetic Alphabet
It only works for English. Any other language seems to get mangled into English-like syllables.
PepeGomez··on Why We Hear Voices in Random Noise
How does hallucinating provide survival advantage?
PepeGomez··on A Mysterious Virus That Could Cause Obesity
It did? The US may be the only first world country in the top 20 obese countries.
PepeGomez··on Is Sugar Killing Us?
What happened when you tried to eat more sugar?
PepeGomez··on Is Sugar Killing Us?
I didn't ask you to repeat yourself, I asked for evidence confirming what you said.
PepeGomez··on Is Sugar Killing Us?
So what is the evidence for fructose being bad for us?
PepeGomez··on Is Sugar Killing Us?
How many obese people follow the guidelines?
PepeGomez··on Is Sugar Killing Us?
Why are you lying like that? Are you trying to hurt people?
PepeGomez··on Is Sugar Killing Us?
Stop spreading misinformation. 65% is well within historical norms. People commonly ate that much or more, oils and meat used to be expensive.
PepeGomez··on Is Sugar Killing Us?
"the body can synthesize glucose" is a horribly misleading statement. The body can create glucose only by destroying protein and the amount it can create is limited by the buildup of toxic waste the process leaves behind. It's absolutely not the same thing as the body synthesizing vitamin A from carotene. You will be much better off eating carbohydrates, and 45% may be still too little.
PepeGomez··on Is Sugar Killing Us?
You are basically guarranteeed to get a false negative A1C on keto.
PepeGomez··on Lepton image compression: saving 22% losslessly from images at 15MB/s
How much better do you think it could get with JPEGs encoded with Lepton in mind?
