I don't know about monkeys, but a similar experiment with rats and morphine water is well known.

You think marijuana is more deadly than alcohol? I call bullshit. You'll have to provide a source for this claim.

The term for this is enshittification.

Most Germans speak English. If they are programmers, it's a given. I would always read "Misty" as an English term and not associate it with "Mist".

So maternal mortality has gone up? It's a national shame.

The abstract says that the Y-chromosome has a 62,460,029-base-pair sequence. How long are the fragments that can now be sequenced?
