Tldr:

How coffee affects your microbiome

The millions of microbes living in your gut (known as your microbiome) play an essential role in your gut and overall health. They can also have a significant impact on how you respond to food. To eat to support our best health, we need to understand how the things we eat and drink (coffee included) affect our gut inhabitants.  In our PREDICT studies, we took a closer look at how coffee consumption affects the microbiome. 

"We saw a very strong correlation between drinking coffee and the composition of the gut microbiome," says Nicola. "We noticed that people who drank coffee tended to have higher microbiome diversity."

"We also found that the link between coffee and the microbiome was dose-dependent, so people who drank more than four cups per day tended to have the highest microbiome diversity, compared with people who drank fewer cups or none at all."

What is the current status on the debate regarding when humans began building megalithic structures?

With the discovery of Göbeklitepe, how far back are we pushing the start of people building such things?

What impact does discovering Göbeklitepe have on the overall time-line of human progression?

Seriously though. I'm a master amateur gardener. I raise compost worms who eat my scraps then use the worm castings to fertilize the soil etc. I'm really dedicated to the grow your own food thing.

But I always joke that my really hobby is the quest to grow the world's most expensive tomatoes. Because when you factor in all the time and materials etc a tomato that cost $.30 at the market takes 6 months and a thousand dollars to grow lol

There is no reality wherein everyone can grow their own food on any kind of mass scale.

That's fucking wild. Imagine an entire culture who's just tripping balls randomly all day.

Other tornado-cutters use different methods. They pull down their pants and vent out their fear to the storm. This power apparently lies in the buttocks of the first-born males only.

Ergotism from tripping that much really fucks people's bodies up.
