A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Incredible. Given how expensive dental treatment is in a lot of places, this could be revolutionary for people who can't afford regular checkups and/or treatment plans. It's not going to be a replacement but it can certainly mitigate a lot of damage.
I mean if the research a few months ago in japan that detailed the ability to introduce a drug to allow teeth growth beyond the second pair has good results, things are getting places.
From my understanding , it wasn't past the second pair, it was to reactivate deactivated teeth.
As in, they artificially induced a way to stop a tooth forming (which can occur naturally in humans), and then reactivated it. Useful for folks who suffer from agenesis in the first place.
Dentists hate this one complex molecule
Fuck'm. I'm pretty sure most of my "small cavities" over the years were nothing, especially in the 80s. Medieval butchery.
As grandpa said "don't go to the dentist, they want you to keep your teeth as long as possible so they can keep billing you"
Well let's hope the mass adoption of this ingredient in everyone's toothpaste doesn't make the gray water kill all the birds or frogs or something. Ecosystems are weird. Diclofenac fucks all the vultures and I found out recently.
The rub on cremes especially. How come everything we touch turns to hellscape.
Does it occur naturally in anything or would it be a toothpaste ingredient?
For anyone wondering, all those are the same species.
Brassica oleracea.
That must be why my teeth have never been a problem. Fuckin love broccoli
Of course... the group of veggies that taste like farts. 🤢
Roast them with some oil, salt, and pepper and you won’t be saying that
Yay cabbage!
DIM was found to be a mild cannabinoid agonist
Interesting...
agonist
Weed does everything!
Conservatives are already furious about this. I mean, it's an obvious trick to install 5G tracking chips to allow the globalists to track everyone for the new world order where all men will be forced to pee sitting down in their mandatory pink bathrooms.
Americans reading anything: "How do I find a way to shove our idiotic polarized, tribal politics into this?".
Seriously. It's an article about dental health...
Our conservatives are the number one threat to humanity world-wide. You should care about this because it will eventually affect you directly.
I repeat. It's an article about dental health. You can pretend your comment was anything other than you circlejerking the same tired bullshit without saying a single fucking thing, just to stroke your ego and feel like you're any better than the people you make fun of all you want. It doesn't change a thing. You repeating some hyperlative bullshit doesn't either. It just reveals who you are.
Very well aware of the threat of American idiots, mainly due to the fact that because people exactly like you on the other side of the spectrum keep shoving the same bullshit down everyone's throats everywhere they go, it spreads and now, thanks to exactly the same behavior you're so proud of here, we have idiots all over the world repeating the same idiocy down to a tee.
Just because people don't want your dick shoved down their throats 24/7 everywhere they go doesn't mean they don't care.
"Conservatives are like: "Herppp derppp I'm a conservative there's microchips in ma teef!" Hahaha! Right guys?!" isn't exactly the kind of eloquent and well thought argument you think it is. Behaviour like that contributes to the problem, it doesn't solve anything. You're a part of the problem. Be better.
They're fucking everywhere. They're coming out of the fucking wall!!
They don't admit it but they love their culture wars and shit politics.
I always sit down to pee when possible. It's a nice little break in my busy day.
And who wants to turn the light on in the middle of the night.
Get a night light for the bathroom. It won't blind you, and you don't have to fumble around in the dark while half asleep.
Brilliant! I will subscribe for more tips!
Takes the fun out of aiming by sound, too.
I currently hold the high score in Night Pisser.
Nothing affirms my masculinity quite like that reassuring tinkle after adjusting from the spitter-spatter of dry porcelain.
You take that practicality back to whatever commie hell hole spawned you, you heathen!
It turns you into a gay frog even faster than fluoride!
Expect people claiming it makes them dumb

Alcohol-based mouth sanitizer will kill like 99.9% of bacteria in your mouth, the issue is that you won't keep it in your mouth 24 hours a day.
Is this new chemical supposed to be added to food, or maybe to sugar?
The point isn't that it kills bacteria, it's that it breaks down the biofilm.
The biofilm is basically habitat - it's a structure they can cling to and establish a foothold.
Mouths are never going to be a sterile environment even a minute after nuking with alcohol; populations will re-establish in no time.
The point here is to deny them a place to stay.
That makes sense
You really don't want to kill all the bacteria in your mouth.
Those mouth washes don't get rid of plaque caused by the bacteria, though. Just the bacteria.
Sounds like this molecule is already found in broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage.
