AI Thread Summary
Surgeons in Islamabad performed a rare operation on a 2-month-old girl to remove two fetuses that had developed inside her, a condition known as fetus-in-fetu. This phenomenon occurs when a fetus develops within another fetus, resembling Siamese twins but occurring internally. The discussion clarifies that this is not a case of a pregnant fetus but rather an abnormal developmental occurrence.

Thread 'Did they discover another descendant of homo erectus?'

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism.

Thread 'Warning of new opiod drug (nitazene) on the streets: Question re strength...'

Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them?
