A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

I think Peter Watts would like to have a word.

That is a terrifying proposition. I understand that mirrored molecules usually behave very differently but would bacteria and such actually be immune to our current defenses? I imagine this like alcohol and other disinfectants would still kill things like that right?

They wouldn't get anything useful from our orientation of molecules

My guess is that this is some sort of scam. Reverse life hasn't happened in the last few billion years it won't happen anytime soon.
