Where it gets hard is when you’re looking at a 6-membered ring with stereochemical centres and trying to visualize it in a 3D chair or boat. Then rotating that 3D shape around in your head keeping the correct stereochemistry.

Agreed, but a colon would make it more readable.

If things continue on the path they’re already on, it will get worse, sadly. At least that’s my opinion. I really hope it dies out.

You’re right. I was thinking more about the individuals responsible capture and refining of fossil fuels.

But the pretty ubiquitous use of Amazon delivery does greatly contribute a lot. Didn’t really think about it in that aspect. Thanks for pointing that out.

I’m down.

Good point. I try my best, but even if like 90 % of the population tried harder, it would barely offset the billionaire companies killing our planet.

They’re the problem, always has been that way.

I think it’s time to stop them.

It doesn’t release microplastics, it releases macroplastics.

You’re rocking it. Don’t change.

I really hate how the article is on mobile (obviously not your fault, and not a critique on you), but no. I had not heard of that.

Thanks for posting, very sad, but good to know.

This really seems like the worst timeline.

Are you an actual chemist?

The first sentence of the second paragraph is either impossible, or would require big pharma, millions of not billions of dollars, and a whole bunch of primary research that doesn’t exist. That’s even if it’s possible.

Trying to design a drug with such specific properties is almost impossible, starting from the point of “wanting to design this”.

Is that a plane? I feel bad for the poor snek, looks scared.

Oof. Hard to read/think about. But I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening.

My kid won’t experience that (at least from their parents), thankfully. But we’re doing our best to instill an open mind and acceptance for our child.

Make sure it’s not a lemon party.

Why is it ram ranch if they’re cows, not rams?

I chose to believe it’s a huge joint haha.

Ah, nice. She is haha.

I got ya, don’t worry. But I low-key kind of want that tattoo.

I wish. I just compressed the image highly and wrote in the meme letters “mess with the crab, you get the stab”.

A YouTube person “Stanzi Potenza” does some shorts on that topic, they’re pretty funny.

Agreed.
