oh, cannes food going bad after it’s opened is not botulism, any more than a salad going bad in the fridge. that’s other processes & organisms.

botulism grows in NON-ACIDIC, ANOXIC environments. so it can grow inside the can (no oxygen), before the can is opened. industrial canning processes get very very hot to kill the spores so they don’t grow even when the environment is right.

so, the thing about honey seems weird (maybe you have more info than i do though).)

i read in a medical source that after the widespread campaign to NEVER feed babies honey, which every US parent myst have heard of at this point, the rates of infant botulism… did not change.

I wanted to say something similar but wondered… COULD you actually do a corundum-to-blue-sapphire or quartz-to-amethyst gradient, by growing the gem in a lab & gradually adding the doping (“dirty”) element?

I see your edit & yeah this isn’t melting, but does OP really care about the specific process!?

and a lab-grown gem would still be…clear & sparkly like a gemstone. the resin suggestions kill the whole thing imo

edit: similar to u/highfructosetrashjuice’s comment in the thread.

yes! acidity is also the reason that botulism isn’t SO likely in fruit jams, but more likely to be a problem in canned meat.

what i didn’t understand about infant botulism for a long time is: for adults the SPORES aren’t a problem, because they die in your gut. the toxins left over that the bacteria created (pooped out?) while living in the nonacidic canned food is what makes us very sick. for BABIES the problem is the spores can literally create more bacteria in their tummies / intestines, & hang out there eating food & making toxin

yeah, I thought the picture was ridiculous, why show her as an old person rather than in the prime of her life? But I guess (after reading the article) that that’s what skeletal info they had.

oh i see u/kannolli’s comment below. interesting.

because of the alcohol or because of the judgement though?

1. it would be expensive

2. immunity from the vaccine only lasts a limited time so it’d have to be redone all the time, like flu shots or like thecrabies shots in animals.

So there are 3 things that cause eye color:

• brown from melanin
• yellowish from lipochrome
• blue from how light gets scattered in the iris (similar to how light gets scattered in the sky)

You can’t have yellow eyes because the light scattering always happens.

1 You can have light brown eyes or dark brown eyes, w more or less melanin. The brown covers up the blue so it just looks brown.

2 You can have yellow + blue, so green eyes.

3 You can have different amounts of brown pigment in different parts of the iris (usually more brown at the outside), which is called hazel.

4 Or you can have very little pigment & the light scattering gives you blue.

I think there are some not-commonly-done & risky surgeries to inject different pigment…

or you can wear colored contacts for more colors :)

also female & I was over here trying to count out sets of 28 days or wondering why you used calendar months. i came to the comments thinking “well i can’t obviously see her cycle & tbh that doesn’t make sense”
