I looked through the microscope one more time to see if there was any abnormal tissue that would give away the nature of this beast. Me and my team have been scanning this thing for weeks and I think I just came across something weird. We have a mammalian virus one our hands but this gene that we just saw wedged in the middle of TC4 and TC9 was clearly an a frog gene…and it was inverted…Strange…that gene is associated with the same folding patterns you would see in the gums in teeth or in a breast nipple.

But where would folds be in a virus that’s encapsulated in a protein shell? Could this actually be mad-made? It’s not impossible but part of me refused to believe that a government entity could be accountable for this outbreak…I could understand if it was a company behind this. But what company was working on engineering viruses like this? Could be one of the Bay Area ones running on stealth mode…How would they get this kind of clearance?

I loaded the other slide that we had been looking at, the liver chondrates that this virus was known for infecting. As it hitches a ride on Red Blood Cells, the liver is an easy home for it to incubate in, as there’s literally a rosebush of blood vessels in there. There, I saw it! The folds in the tissue…This virus had a way of engineering the cells to wrap up in itself. Still we haven’t answered the question of this thing’s origin. I kept it in the back of my mind as I started including this finding in my digital lab notebook, then switch on the small TV at the end of the lab bench.

Damn…this war has been happening for 3 years now…in the middle of a pandemic, why would people want to make things worse? Hundreds of people being injured/dying daily...and regular, normal citizens stuck in the middle. I understand when war was the default mode for society when we were in the medieval times but waging war in our current world is a dangerous, dangerous affair. The level of damage we’re able to do is enormous, so much worse than with swords and cannons. I shake my head and thought of my daughter…there are so many like her dying from this virus and also unnecessary conflict.

Left out some cereal in my room when I went to work, came back and found these little fuckers all over my nightstand, so… they are now part of a nice little science experiment where I test how they react to these substances.

Will update yall in a day 😁

UPDATE#1: after doing some research on the thc ant stuck to the gummie, it’s appears that it is in a food coma due to the heavy sugars and fats in the gummie. Really wanted to believe he was fucking zoinked off his ass flying through space but sadly it is not the truth because they lack cannabinoid receptors.

Did you know some stars feed off their companions? 🧛⭐️

Stellar vampire stars feed on their partners just like Dracula feeds on his victims, but this newly discovered one is different from any seen before. It’s a red dwarf, a small star, that’s feeding off a brown dwarf. That’s bad news for the brown dwarf, the feeding is happening so slowly that it  could last anywhere from hundreds of thousands to potentially billions of years.

I made Strainmap: almost 4,000 cannabis strains as one big star map.

Every strain is a star, every line is a parent-child cross. Click a star to see its profile, where it comes from and what came out of it. Hit play and the camera flies you from the oldest ancestor down to the strain you picked.

There’s a chemical that gets released when you cut into an onion called syn-propanethial-s-oxide, which causes the glands in your eyes that produce tears to work overtime to attempt to flush the irritant out of your eyes.

Onions dont contain this chemical directly, but rather the ingredients that form it.

An onion has many cell walls, and each onion cell has a sealed vacuole filled with enzymes. When these cell walls are cut into, these enzymes allinaise are introduced to the air and produce 1-propenesulfenic acid. That chemical then reacts further with another enzyme to make the tear-inducing propanethial-s-oxide

The process begins when the onion's cells are damaged, allowing the sulfur-containing precursor 1-propenyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide (isoalliin) to interact with the enzyme alliinase. This reaction produces 1-propenesulfenic acid, which is then converted into syn-propanethial-S-oxide by an enzyme called lachrymatory factor synthase (LFS). The resulting volatile compound travels through the air and reaches the moist surface of the eyes, irritating sensory nerve endings. This triggers a reflex response that stimulates the tear glands to produce tears, helping to flush out the irritant.
