Reply to ELI5: if protein is broken down into peptides in the stomach/digestive tract, why would consuming something like "active collagen" do anything? by Alexander_Elysia
Thats an important thing, it doesn't. Evidence doesnt back it up and neither do Biological mechanisms.
Some will argue that youre ingesting the exact nutrients you need to produce it, but that's exactly the same situation as ingesting other common proteins and in colagen production, the limiting and regulating factors are not availability of nutrients mainly
Collagen is definitely not absorbed to the bloodstream

A combination of remote work, crowdfunding, offgrid tech and more make it so that communities could find each other online and then purchase enough land to form a new country.

They wont own the land, they will own a tradeable picture of that land

This just looks to me like crypto bros trying to make a comune... It doesnt sound realistic, feasible or desirable, but im sure someone will try to force it for clout... To be a real thing, it would definitely need more than 10 years...

Reply to comment by manicdee33 in Novel research published in the BJM provides evidence of the best way to prepare a hot cup of tea in a hospital setting and the best biscuits to eat with it. Results from the DUNCS study say oatmeal are the crunchiest. by carlos_6m
I agree, the lack of standardised samples really hinders research in this field, most research centers use local samples that may not extrapolate properly and give culturally biased results... Multicentric research would be the next step to further the knowledge in this area.

Considering the substantial amount of hot cup of tea consumers in the world we need to understand how far reaching and impactful the data provided by this research is, with the potential to affect an unlimited number of people, i expect the members of r/science to conduct discussion in a respectful manner appropriate to the importance and impact of the research being discussed here.

Yeah I think I'm getting it mixed up with alcohol on breath levels maybe?

In the end its all colours and shapes and op has reached up to 0.2% blood alcohol, which is the limit for driving in many places, I'd say up to that point it makes sense to see little change, it would be later on when I would expect to see impairment showing

It makes kind of sense that they're not different, solving a rubiks cube is done following a set of different move algorithms that after enough practice become muscle memory, so alcohol will only impair this very little, same way you can type almost as well sober as with a bit of alcohol, muscle memory will only fail you once you start to get pretty wasted

Is there any evidence for this?
Carbs making you sleepy sounds like made up nutritional bs

Reply to comment by willywalloo in What lifeform has the shortest genetic sequence? by teafuck
You're confusing their process with the one for platelets I think...
Red blood cells are reticulocytes that have lost their nucleus, reticulocytes produce a lot of hemoglobin and other proteins and then lose their nucleus, then they are self sustaining for about 4 months, longer than many living organisms

But by that definition, a red blood cell is life, and it does not have genetic code...

Theyre testing a compound with a crapton of other things known to work, not just collagen, and its a test against placebo, that doesn't stablish mechanistic at all you nugget!
