Reply to A new study suggests that too much screen time during infancy may lead to changes in brain activity, as well as problems with executive functioning — the ability to stay focused and control impulses, behaviors, and emotions — in elementary school. by Wagamaga

My son was born right before the World Cup and we watched every single game for the whole tournament. We still passively watch a lot of sports on tv (tv is on but we’re not actively watching). I assume this counts as screen time and now I feel really bad i

Bs science funded to give "scientific proof" to show governments that they have to keep the vaccine consumption high. Even when Omicron is basically a cold that lasts 2 days...

People who care about their health are healthier than people who don’t take health seriously

Reply to comment by Anschluss11 in Upon hearing recordings of wolf howls, older family dogs from more ancient breeds respond with longer howls — suggesting that genetic similarity with wolves affects dogs’ repertoire by marketrent

I have a book about dogs which shows an awesome chart of "basil" dog breeds. I think they are looking at genetics: which breeds are genetically closest to wild wolves. Not looking at which breeds are the most old in a time-scale.

That is awesome! I have a shiba too and have read that they are one of the most ancient breeds. Our little girl rarely barks, she screams or yells much more often. Though most of the time she is 100% silent.

This is totally out of left field, but I wonder if muscling up could possibly help with that particular issue? Muscle mass increase increases the total number of mitochondria. Again, total conjecture I’m spewing.
