I just Googled the recommended daily dose for B6 vitamins and the number was a lot lower than I thought it'd be. 1.3 mgs per day.
The lowest dosage of pills I could find are 50mg pills. What the fuck am I supposed to do with this? Why are there no 1.5mg pills for this shit?
>>7957834
why even take a pill when you can get enough from food
>>7957834
>buying vitamins
nice quackery OP
>>7957836
But you can't get enough from food.
There's barely any of this in food.

The last two digits of your post number choose two topics of the five you posted. The two topics are topic n and topic m, where n = (x mod 5) + 1 and m = (y mod 5) + 1 for digits x and y. You must then pose the hardest question you can which incorporates both of those topics. You cannot pose a question that reduces to another question posed in the thread.

The digits are the last two digits of the post number. I tried to be sly, but it backfired because I forgot to change the post number in my example. Read the example using 7957825 instead.

Redpill me on bees.
Are they really in danger?
Wild ones? no
Farmed/Domesticated ones? Kinda
>>7957629
dont you mean the other way around?
>>7957632
no
Wild bee populations aren't studied very much, but their pops are fine. Apiary's are losing tons of hives every season thanks to CCD
I'm wondering if anyone with any psychological expertise could help me. I occasionally attempt to initiate intercourse with my girlfriend as I sleep, sometimes rather vigorously, which obviously is rather distressing for both of us. I also wake up on my own sometimes intensely aroused and masturbating. This is really interrupting my sleep and putting unnecessary strain on my relationship. I've noticed alcohol seems to increase the likelihood of it happening, are there any other preventative measures/medications I could take to help?
you should take not alcohol
>>7957320
How often do you masturbate or engage in sexual activity with the missus? What do like and not like about sex?
It appears that you have a high arousal combined with an inhibition. It's not a severe enough problem for meds.

SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD FUCKING PROBLEM TO ME
FUCK THE SHIT OUT OF HER LOLLLLL
BUST NUTSS YEEEE OP HAAHHAHA YOURE A DIRTY BOY
A quick question I was just pondering over lunch today. If I had a knife that had a width of one atom and slid it into an animal - would the animal die given I "stabbed" it in the correct place to kill an animal with a normal knife.
>pic not related.
That's nothing
It would have to be enough molecules wide to puncture tissues, beyond repair
>>7957153
Even if it did cause damage it would just get blocked by the next atom or molecule that was bigger than the atom of your knife
Nothing would happen. You would fuck up a few cells maybe. Cells die all the time, no big deal.
If there was some genuine contact made between us and an alien intelligence (say they came here and announced themselves somehow), would you believe it was real?
What would it take to convince you it was actually happening?
We've already seen it all. Everything can be cgi'd. It would have to be big; all the major world leaders together in one place with some little green guys but also announcing they had given us a cure for all known diseases, and had genuine nude pics of Emma Watson, that kind of thing.
>>7957139
>We've already seen it all
Wrong.
Don't anthropomorphize extra terrestrials.
99% of aliens you see in sci-fi are basically weird looking humans that have human attributes and human motivations/desires.
It's near impossible to image something completely non-human, and pretty terrifying to be honest.
>>7957228
>pretty terrifying
Skinwalker ranch is a trial run.
Anybody else hate 99% of the people in their field of study?
yes
its why i come here for my socialising
Yes, there are literally 0 females in my major class year of 30 people
How to manipulate people?
>>7955577
Realize that they're people. Anything else falls so pitifully short that I can't call it true manipulation.
Ethos Pathos and Logos
>>7955577
dont do this, its a slippery slope
after a while you wont be able to tell whether youre being honest or just working people for your own benefit

It's probably just the genesis of all viruses. Before it evolved for warfare and got sent back in time.
On quantum teleportation, does information travel faster than light?
>>7954726
It would but with entangled quantum particles there isn't any 'information' traded between them, both particles are really the same object. The idea that they share information is just an illusion and a limitation of what we can observe in the universe.
Or the information is shared in another, unmeasurable dimension.
>>7954726
No, it spontaneously generates in the vacuum you forget to observe. The original information is lost to quantization.
>>7954726
it doesn't travel
Do you even know what the concept of teleportation is?
Last summer, in August, my sister awoke in the middle of the night from a sharp pain in her left shoulder, covered in sweat. Shortly after that she fainted. In the morning she felt fatigued and fainted again.
One week after the incident she removed her nail polish, whereupon she noticed her fingernails had turned blue. Shortly after that some of them fell off when subjected to the slightest force.
The nails have since grown back, but she suffers from Onycholysis.
Doctors have no clue.
Any thoughts or input from you guys would be greatly appreciated.
>>7954302
did she get bitten by something and catch a keratin-fucking disease? sounds like a spider, especially since you said "sharp" pain
>>7954310
I strongly doubt it was from a bite as it was in our home country Sweden - we really don't have much in the way of fauna capable of administering a bite like that.
I was thinking it could be something messed with her circulation, but that wouldn't explain the persistent Onycholysis, would it?
Could it be Porphyria?
>>7954329
You sure? Something like a brown recluse might have a similar effect on people of a particular disposition
You have not seen your own brains — do you believe you have any?
>>7959638
Yes, because people told me
My perception of reality is not exclusively tethered to my sense of sight, bitchass nigga.
>>7959638
I know I have a brain, if they cut open my skull when I'm dead people will know I had a brain. I've also gotten a ct scan before and learned that my brain is normal.
Is there a way to prove mathematically whether this is possible?
No clue, maybe topology/knot theory?
>>7959512
Does notbsay you cannot connect between nodes, therefore rather easy, all 3 connect to one node, then that node connects to second, which connects to third
>>7959521
wtf

I have no interest in that /pol/. Why did you tell me to go there?
Well, /sci/? What's a function whose value at x is equal to the area below it from 0 to x?
f(x) = 0
no problem.
>>7958930
The exponential function. Easy
