I was going to make fun of the title (which is basically "Sick ants stink, the others don't like it and make it stop") but IMO this is the important bit:
Then, the team conducted an experiment showing that the sick pupae only produce the smell when worker ants are nearby, proving it is a deliberate signal for destruction.
That does go beyond just smelling bad due to illness.
Everyone makes mistakes
Except psychopaths who know their claim is garbage but lie through their teeth to get it published. That's not a mistake, that's corruption.
your brain does that, not the speaker
This is fascinating. I never realized that sound is processed like this. Not that different from sight then, which is processing a bunch of electromagnetic frequencies.
So it's not the record or the CD or whatever that is magic. It's our brains. Holy shit that is so cool. Thank you for explaining it so well!
Oh ok, I thought you meant pulling the eyeballs "inwards" as in towards the back of your head! What you describe, I'd normally call "crossing" my eyes.
Moving your eyes inwards
Details, please. 🤨
I just tried that and I can definitely say the closure happens at the pharynx for me, which is also what I do consciously when I hold my breath.
I am intimately familiar with that feeling. Because it's not just popcorn that causes it. In apples, the seed chambers are lined with a hard membrane that is extremely similar in size and texture to a popcorn hull. If you bite too close to the core, or if you eat apple slices from uncored apples, youwill get one stuck in your throat.
I have fantasized of doing exactly that but with the most annoying song I can think of. Something along the lines of Crazy Frog or Hampster Dance.
"And here is the data to prove it."
