Did Red Delicious apples always taste like cardboard?
I feel like they were sweet and flavourful when I was young
But maybe that's just me idealizing stuff from my childhood?
> Red Delicious Apples Weren’t Always Horrible

> “It turns out that a lot of the genes that coded for the flavor-producing compounds were on the same chromosomes as the genes for the yellow striped skin,” Traverso explains, “so as you favored the more consistently colored apples, you were essentially disfavoring the same genes that coded for great flavor.”
Wonder what the timescale is here
Would they have tasted different ~ 25 years ago?
Anyway, reminds me of this:

> Brussels Sprouts Used To Taste A Lot Different. Here's Why
> Dutch scientist Hans van Doorn pinpointed the exact chemical that caused Brussels sprouts to taste so bitter in the 1990s. Once this particular cause of bitter flavor could get identified, breeders began developing new strains of Brussels sprouts that didn't contain the bitter chemical—glucosinolate.

@Cyborgneticz I would join but time zones
Everyone remembers the alien drag queen cooking show
But for my money, the best part of it is that the Cantina Song canonically has lyrics now
Trying to think of a way to get a legit academic article published with an emojus in the title
E.g. The ethics of the development of biomarkers in cancer: 🤷♂️
@Cyborgneticz I'm aiming for the medical literature
So that it can fuck with all the automatic processing that's done on it by people who don't expect emoji in their titles
Evolution: Real and legit
"Evolutionary" explanations for pretty much anything other than like, the fossil record and those Darwin birds: :yikes:
When you want to be eugenicsy and racist, but not overtly so
I KNOW
"Evolutionarily speaking—"

Reminder:
> For future reference, whenever a techbro talks about “disrupting an industry,” they mean: “replicating an already existing industry, but subsidizing it heavily with venture capital, and externalizing its costs at the expense of the public or potential workers by circumventing consumer-, worker- or public-protection laws in order to hopefully undercut the competition long enough to bring about regulatory capture.”

"But people don't NEED money!"
Yes, they do
Beyond having basic necessities met, everyone deserves the dignity afforded by the ability and autonomy to pursue their own goals and projects
This means money
Maybe you can imagine some world without money—fine, whatever
Just replace "money" with whatever would go in the slot for the thing that affords people the ability to get stuff done on their own terms in your fantasy
