Submission + - Owning a Cat Could Double Your Risk of Schizophrenia, Research Suggests (sciencealert.com) 1
schwit1 writes: Having a cat as a pet could potentially double a person's risk of schizophrenia-related conditions, according to an analysis of 17 studies.
Psychiatrist John McGrath and colleagues at the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research in Australia looked at papers published over the last 44 years in 11 countries, including the US and the UK.
Their 2023 review found "a significant positive association between broadly defined cat ownership and an increased risk of schizophrenia-related disorders."
T. gondii is a mostly harmless parasite that can be transmitted through undercooked meat or contaminated water. It can also be transmitted through an infected cat's feces.
Estimates suggest that T. gondii infects about 40 million people in the US, typically without any symptoms. Meanwhile, researchers keep finding more strange effects that infections may have.
Once inside our bodies, T. gondii can infiltrate the central nervous system and influence neurotransmitters. The parasite has been linked to personality changes, the emergence of psychotic symptoms, and some neurological disorders, including schizophrenia.

The only reason anyone is talking about this is we’ve made it too hard to build new power generating capacity on earth.

Yes. In fact they are - well planning to. ATSC 3.0 allows encryption of so called "free" over the air TV and they are only doing that so they can actually override the FCC and stop people recording shows.
This feels like one of those stupid "free market" republican ideas that later comes back to bite everyone in the butt. Probably on the same level as the promise Congress people used to make that we could one day buy our own TV cable boxes.
