Lol.
@Wiccan - How long did it take you to learn what you know aboot chemistry, and how'd you do it with no schooling (like just time and perseverance, or did you watch online lectures or something?) Do you have a wide range of knowledge well beyond the same old drug structure questions that come from here?

Sometime in the victorian age, stairs were redesigned to be uniform, due mostly to the uneven stairs causing a good number of accidents. A human walking up or down stairs does so in a matter that uneven stair height or length, even if off just by a fraction of an inch, can cause you to trip and fall.

To add on to that - If you move someone's furniture just two inches in one direction, they run into it a lot more. It's that muscle memory gettin fuxed up in both those cases.

It was a pre internet fascination, mostly during my teens and twenties, and not structured. I visited libraries and bought chemistry textbooks and worked through em.
I didnt LEARN chemistry but I FIGURED IT OUT which is why it comes so intuitively to me. Not a boast. I much rather had gone the formal route, I just was too broken psychologically.
And yes a reasonable scope of knowledge. I Edisonned it.
My mother hated scrubbing the street pavement in front of her house for algi growth, which she despised. I devised a novel approach to tackle the problem. I calculated and put into action a treatment of the freshly cleaned pavement that involved a sunny day and the subsequent treatment with two solutions.
Never during the rest of her life did she have to scrub algi again

I hadn't considered that before. From now on I'm going to make it my life's mission to discretely move everyone's coffee table just a bit.

The question, whats that last 1%....
Dust makes you fat (to dumb it down for the general public).
It has been shown that common household dust particles tend to accumulate aromatic polybrominated flame retardants among other chemicals that acts as ligands and in many cases agonists of the human PPARγ receptor that in turn drives adipogenesis. The amounts ingested by humans are relevant to these effects.
Can you explain for those of us who are both dumb enough to not know what that means, and lazy enough to not look it up?
I didn't mean to dumb it down in an offensive way. Anyway as I said dust particles acummulate small molecules that interact with a key protein known to orchestrate the production of fat. Now iirc something like 20mg dust was enough to induce a response in a 50kg child and many children ingest 55mg on average per day (according to that study I read sometime ago).

The national animal of Scotland is a unicorn.
Someone told me that a couple of weeks ago.
I googled it, it's true.
