making the world a better place. It's all good. Well, here's some news about science. Turns out that eggs, according to a new study, might protect your brain health. So if you eat eggs, you're less likely to have cognitive dysfunction in your middle age and longer. Now I was quite interested in this study, and I was thinking about taking out a loan to get myself one of these eggs. If any of you h…

But they found that, they say, people who favor Trump were more likely to believe fake news if it agreed with their team. Huh, raises an interesting question, doesn't it?
Apparently there is a group of scientists who know what news is real now. Wouldn't it be helpful, instead of wasting their time on this study, if they had simply said, "Hey, we're scientists. We know which news is real. Not only do we know which news is real, but we know it so certainly that we can have a test in which we put the news we know is real versus the news we know isn't real." So thank goodness there's some people who know which news is real. Okay, now I think they probably didn't use real news. They probably just made up some stuff. And I think almost anybody could tell made-up stuff. So I don't think there's any scientific validity to this whatsoever. But I still believe the conclusion, and you didn't really need to do a test to find out that people like to agree with their side. Oh, surprising.
I'm trying to figure out if the stories about InfoWars are true. Did I hear that Alex Jones debunked the report that the owner of The Onion bought InfoWars assets? So do we even know what happened there? I'm getting all kinds of weird conflicting stories. So the only thing I know is somebody in the comments felt it was necessary to remind me that I'm not a scientist. Should it also be necessary to mention that French press is a good way to make coffee, swimming is the best form of exercise, and that food, that universal food, it might be Soylent Green and something reminds you of The Matrix? So the NPCs are here to say all the obvious stuff.
So if anybody knows what happened to InfoWars, could you let me know? But I'm having trouble understanding why InfoWars needs assets. What assets do they need? I mean, a few cameras and a laptop. I mean, they don't really need the building, do they? You could do it from your bedroom. I don't know.
Well, here's something cool. According to a user on X called Vario, there's a new paper in Science, and they've used AI on DNA. Now DNA, you could think of it almost like a bunch of zeros and ones. It's almost like a code or a language, i

f you will. Now AI is good with languages, so it's good with human languages and it's good with every kind of computer programming language. So it's not a big surprise that when you show it DNA, it treats it like a language. Or it could. So in other words, in the same way it could arrange bits to make a computer program or it could arrange words to make sentences that you understand, apparently th…
