Damn, I haven't thought about that 90's Sabrina show since, well.. the 90's!

Its so ubiquitous that LLMs will always say it like that when it comes up.

I learned about mitochondria from Parasite Eve. Damn I wish they'd remake that.

came here to say this. hopefully they don't become sentient and destroy the island of manhattan... or maybe it's not a bad idea afterall

I came here to say the same as well! Every time I see the word mitochondria I immediately return to fighting that T-Rex and those awesome green weapon range domes. What an excellent game.

Why does everyone know this, but still think the definition of "metabolism" is solely built towards fake weight loss regiments? Bit of a tangent.

it's at this point a joke seen in non science contexts

The oft repeated line is grammatically incorrect.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

thankfully grammar isnt science

[–] Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, but in other examples, incorrect grammar can make a statement scientifically incorrect.

this is why science is written with lots of care and they use Latin words and phrases that cannot be misunderstood
