Submitter comment: I'd like to submit this '[s]tudy of defensive behavior of a venomous snake as a new approach to understand snakebite' not for it's topic (worth studying!) but for it's insane methodology, which... well, I'll just let the researcher speak for himself:
[Q: Why did you decide to do this experiment?
A: Snake behavior has been generally neglected as a field of research, especially in Brazil. And most studies don’t examine what factors make them want to bite. If you study malaria, you can research the parasite that causes the disease—but if you don’t study the mosquito that carries it, you will never solve the problem. Up until now, the popular wisdom was that the jararaca would only attack if you touched it or stepped on it. But that was not what we found.
Q: Why did you need to be the victim?
A: The best way to do this research is to put snakes and a human together. In this case, the human was me. We put the snakes inside a ring on the floor of our lab until they got used to it, then I stepped in wearing special protective boots. I stepped close to the snake and also lightly on top of it. I didn’t put my whole weight on my foot, so I did not hurt the snakes. I tested 116 animals and stepped 30 times on every animal, totaling 40,480 steps.]
From the recent (aptly named) interview: Researcher steps on deadly vipers 40,000 times to better predict snakebites
shoutout to the guy who created a parody account of cinemasins where instead of pointing out every single flaw in a film, he just pointed out things he liked about the movie. you're so right cinemawins its so much more fun to like things
are there any fanfics about kim dokja showing up in a later regression. like the one he starts with is 49. wouldnt that be so funny. yoo jungyeok doing half a dozen 2-year-long minmaxing trial runs in a row and then suddenly there is a Guy. he's speedrun the first scenario so many times he'd know if there were a Guy.
so he has to weigh A Guy being there against the efficiency of trial-and-error attempts. but kim dokja is also highly incentivized to make This timeline be the Last timeline.
sorry i know this is the exact premise of 1863 arc but i want it with kim dokja instead of han sooyoung because kim dokja is just a guy who is built different
He was trapped under a mountain for the first 20-ish years of his son's life. When he got free, one of the first things he did was steal the corpse of the man his son was in love with so he could steal his son's sword. He tried to set the guy his son was in love with up with his nephew and he reads RPF porn about his son.
So my trainer’s bf cheated on her. She broke up with him. He’s holding her stuff hostage until she agrees to talk with him. Which she refuses.
She trains; for free mind you; three college linebackers, a college wrestler, two martial artists, a body builder, and… wait for it…. a Navy seal. We’re gonna go get her shit for her.
This should make for an interesting story.
