    Can we just ban tiblur? I’ve seen a half dozen posts in various subs from there and without fail every last one has been absolute garbage.

    Edit: actually I think it technically is banned. Community rules say no posting links to social media and I think tiblur technically counts as social media.

      It’s a site like wordpress where you can post articles. No where is there a 200 character limit like crappy Twitter. It’s not banned because it doesn’t violate any rules. It’s like banning wordpress articles which is basically every major newsite since they all run on that software.

      What are you talking about? The story about Starlink was on Lemmy’s front page. Seems everyone rather enjoyed it. They liked it all the way to the top.

            m8 if these things came from another world, it’s unlikely their biology relies on DNA in the first place. To assume DNA is the only thing in the universe that does what it does is the pinnacle of selection bias.

                Because a different planet would induce different assemblies of life. DNA is not a universal building block. It is specific to Earth.

                Have you looked at the sequencing results? All it shows is that whatever they tested was human. Where is the publication expounding on this other 30% of unknown genetic material?

                  It’s a huge story that is constantly updating. Initial rumors are saying the dna is reptilian however multiple United States institutions are verifying. It’s not out yet. Just hold your horses.

                Because that’s one planet. If I looked at someone and said “that person is Asian, therefore all humans must be Asian”, I’d look pretty stupid, wouldn’t I?

                To assume all life in the universe functions the way it does here on Earth is idiotic.

                Just because it happened this way here, why would you assume it would happen that way elsewhere?

                There’s other molecules that can do the job, and that’s assuming that they’re even even carbon based (as apposed to say, silicon.) Even on earth, there’s microbes that use arsnic instead of phosphorus in their DNA.

                Hell, it’s a 1-in-4 chance they have the same chiralty we do (amino acids and sugars turn in the same way. Most of not all life in earth, amino acids have a left hand spiral, and use sugars that spiral to the right).

                Absolutely no reason they have the same biochemistry we do- they would be, after all, entirely alien to us. Actually, that they appear to recognizably humanoid is the first tip off this is fake, the next is that they apparently have dna. Then, that they have recognizable markers at all.

                If a species evolved independently on another planet… it’d extremely unlikely they would look anything like us.

                  Your arguing against people that already mapped out the DNA. There is no alternative system that we know. If there was the DNA on these creatures would be unmappable. It would be something we haven’t seen before.

            Clicking your link doesn’t take me to the results pertaining these alleged aliens. How am I supposed to search for them?

              There’s several links in the article. Two include the Dna, and the final link contains the full livestream of the test.

            Judging by your other comments, you haven’t actually scrutinized the DNA sequencing. There’s nothing in there about what they had sampled being anything alien. In fact, it’s stating that it’s fairly unremarkable, if damaged, human DNA.

    I don’t trust an article that writes DNA like this:

    dna

    That was enough for me to be like, “sounds like BS”. Sometimes trust your gut. Although here it was enough to trust your eyes.

              I’m very real and so was my article on Starlink getting leveled this summer. What’s funny is that other media outlets are reporting this as well, yet Tiblur seems to get the worst of it. None of the other media outlets even included the DNA sequencing.

        Think they mean DNA. It’s an ancronym, so the letters should be all caps. At least in US English rules.

        Keep in mind this is Mexico, so they may have different forms for things.

      It was on the front page, what are you talking about Tiblur broke the story about Starlinks satellites being destroyed.

        Yeah, there was an article a couple days ago that really dug deep on who these guys are and this hoax is something they’ve done a few times now. It’s a shame they destroyed an actual archeological site to steal the mummy they butchered and glued back together to make their “alien”.

        This “article” is just more of the same nutjobs repeating the same BS. They already tried to claim they had the body DNA tested but a representative of the lab they said did the work said they did no DNA testing as they were only asked to carbon date the mummy which of course shows legit results because it’s actually cobbled together from a real human mummy.

      I thought so too there was even a cake meme but apparently they are real. A panel of scientists livestreamed the entire test
