I see, an enlightened American (or not? I can hardly ever tell tbh). There are two very good models of insurance that I can think of right now:

1. Obligatory, with fees based on income. Esp. health insurance.
2. A situation where you absolutely cannot afford losing the object in question. An individual may never recover, but it is an extremely rare occurence, e.g. your house burns down. The cost spread over many shoulders is insignificant, but it ensures that no one is left with nothing. A third possibility are investment strategies, where an insurance uses the money to future-proof a system or sector - the incentive for good performance is that they have to pay for e.g. flood damaging if they don’t build proper dikes. But that can easily be done without insurance, by governance.

I mean, you can find 1-3 on Level 6 which really is a step easier than 7!

Ye, they would probably bow down to vomit. Would be interesting to see how giraffes do it.

More like looking at stuff near to our eyes all the time - e.g. a screen

ÄNDERUNG: Ich musste sehr lachen, gute Arbeit.

… I disagree. It is funny due to the contrast in “behaviour” (these are cells, not animals) which is shown via the contrasting images (don’t worry, I’m not going to mansplain the term “meme” ). I daresay that if you can easily turn the joke around, it doesn’t rely on stereotypes. Since this is the case (make a meme about asymmetric division in oocytogenesis compared to equal division in spermatogenesis) it’s simply funny. I suggest more calm.

I’ll bite: How is this related to gender?

I didn’t see the dog at first and thought you were trying to make some kind of statement.

What?

I’m a simple life scientist: I see DNA, I upvote.

Ich fürchte, viele haben den Artikel nicht gelesen. Das ist ein provokativer Vorschlag um zu zeigen, wie viel derzeit von der jungen Generation verlangt werden sollte, wenn es nach manchen Menschen geht. Früher Renteneintritt, garantierte Rentenniveaus, Wehrpflicht oder verpflichtende soziale Arbeit (gepaart mit dem Märchen, das würde die Leute in Form biegen und wieder Respekt schaffen) sowie verschobener Klimaschutz - alles Dinge, die jungen Menschen zur Last fallen. Freut euch, eine Unionspolitikerin fasst sich ans Hirn und versucht, die Debatte wieder in die Realität zu führen.
