    Synchronization
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the phenomenon of menstrual synchrony among women living or working closely together. Participants share experiences indicating that this synchronization can occur over time, particularly in environments where women spend significant time together, such as households or workplaces. There is skepticism about the effectiveness of products like Febreeze in masking the pheromones that may contribute to this synchronization. The conversation also touches on the challenges of living with multiple women, highlighting a humorous perspective on the dynamics involved. Additionally, a light-hearted reference is made to Hugh Hefner, suggesting that he seems to enjoy his lifestyle, contrasting the earlier frustrations expressed.

You've obviously never lived with 3 women. Hell, pure hell.

And no, Febreeze doesn't get rid of the pheromones well enough to break the synchronisation.
 
It's also true for women who work together. I've worked in several offices where the women reported being synchronized. From what I've been told, it takes a number of months before a new woman employee synchronizes.

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. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...

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? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
