  • Exactly. Even pressure-treated wood gets pockmarked relatively quickly with nicks and scratches. It’s not visible on wood since it’s already so textured, but a transparent surface would be rendered opaque.

    That aside, the whole article reads like AI slop. This paragraph is particularly obvious:

    Instead of refilling the pores with epoxy, the team soaked the cellulose layer in a mixture of egg whites and rice extract. A curing agent called diethylenetriamine was also added to keep the atrial see-through. Importantly, the team says that the amounts of the various chemicals and reagents used in the process were small enough to present a danger to the environment. According to the team’s statement, they were “left with semi-transparent slices of wood that were durable and flexible.”

    It’s just a collection of four sentences without any real unifying idea. And the latter two sentences are complete nonsense if you really read them.



  • It’s like the pilot of a plane saying “well I warned you we were going to crash into that mountain, you idiot.” Not only did they fail to avoid it, they apparently had no plan in place for what to do after they crashed the damn plane.

    This whole community skews hard towards dumb neolib slop. I still follow it because it’s honestly kind of fascinating to watch liberals respond to any pushback with the same blind rage that you’d encounter on r/conservative. The replies to your comment are a perfect example.










  • Thanks for being the sole voice of reason here. You laid it out so clearly and I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the only one to read your comment completely. It’s always odd to me how liberals in America get so offended and immediately abusive/dismissive towards anyone who dares contradict them. It feels like they would gladly tune in to Maddow every night to watch her tease them about another bombshell Trump tax scandal that doesn’t exist. They’re addicted to this drama, and they get every bit as furious as their conservative counterparts when you try to point out that they’re falling for literally the exact same fake scandal from 6 years ago.
