Researchers took 44 men and gave either plant-protein or animal-protein supplements for 12 weeks while strength training. There was no statistical difference in muscle strength or mass between groups (www.tandfonline.com)

I wish more people understood that EVERYTHING is chemistry.

[–] PatTheBunny@midwest.social 7 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Even love?

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Especially group sex

with 44 men, so an orgy.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's gay.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Gay chemistry!

Homosexual alchemy

[–] Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Of course! Even love! Just mix a dash of dopamine, a sprinkle of serotonin, a shot of oxytocin, and a hint of norepinephrine. Shake well in a nervous system, serve warm, and call it love!

Would you like a side of pheromones with that?

[–] teolan@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No, watt is love, so love is energy over time, not chemistry.

[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

No, Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

And all of chemistry is just physics.

What about consciousness?

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Is self awareness of information processing and filtering.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Truly the strangest epiphenomenon we're all aware of

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Or is it an epiphenomenon... No one can tell IMO.

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You're certainly not wrong! To me, it seems that consciousness is just what it is to be the kind of machines that we are, and also why sentience/consciousness is so impossible for the sort of synthetic 'AI's we have that currently exist. But how could we ever really tell? Hard to know what evidence would ever be convincing either way!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly!

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Well, except for nuclear physics...
