This is a world where microbes are both residents and food, which means that occasionally, we’ll have to spend our time together watching organisms, whose bodies are fractions upon fractions upon fractions of a millimeter in size, turn into vicious predators.

I believe we have domesticated yeast. I'm not sure how long ago it was that we really started selectively cultivating different yeasts for different tastes in beers and wines, but I would say that is when domestication started. We've always known about yeast but it's always been wild yeast. Go gather some berries, stuff them in a jar and they ferment. I really don't know how long ago it was that we started purposely trying to breed different strains of yeast but I know there are some strains that can tolerate a lot higher alcohol content than any wild yeast can. For a while it was all just the same yeast. Bakers would go to the local Brewer and get their leftover remains and use that as yeast to raise their bread with. I know if you try to use baking yeast for making beer, it doesn't work very well or doesn't taste very good anyways. It will still work, just not as good as some specifically bred ale yeasts for example.

Not always, but it coincides with.just before pulation growth started, containers where important i'd guess. Asian regions have beenearly in this but also the ability to make "water" drinkable. Like the the black death was defenatly a bottleneck for population growth and inadequate hygiene adaptions. But the "slow" progression rate of tool use make the the first accidental discovery and then trial and error more believable in my mind. Not that we are smarter then people from 2000000 years ago or something, just time trial and error, more tools and more people. And the invention of writhing or documention that's the biggest one. You could hava 1 frame memory and prgress, with brewing it's just timing, the right environment, the container, yeast and it's food. The ability to recycle or retrieve the yeast seems the important one, but containers where the Kickstarter. The rest seems coincidence and observation

@NoahSpurrier Жыл бұрын

Yes, domesticated yeasts for bread and brewing are probably quite similar. I used to make moonshine. I’ve tried ordinary bread yeast from the supermarket and specialty “high yield” yeasts from brew suppliers. I found little significant difference in the amount of alcohol these yeasts would produce. It might make more difference if you’re trying to make a tasty beer or wine, but for distilling I never found it made much difference. I could usually get 10% to 12% in my mash. I never found it worth much effort to get over that since I was just going to distill the mash.

@fkrkf Жыл бұрын

We didn't always know about yeast. For most of human history brewmasters and bakers thought their work blessed by the gods or other magical forces. Then science came around exposed the actual culprit

Yes but the point is: how long have people been selecting the yeast for? Baking and brewing have existed for *millennia*, but the evidence so far can't trace the selected yeast lineages back millennia. Such a long line of cultivation/domestication requires a continuous, unbroken chain of reproduction in one population. But using existing cultivated yeast often confers little advantage to wild (or human-associated but non-cultivated) yeast, especially for pre-industrial requirements of baking and brewing, so that, given enough time, it becomes increasingly likely for that chain to be broken at some point and a new one started.

From my observations, it could just be that they are actually eating while filter feeding and it is hard to notice anything entering their food vacuole. When they contract is when they seem to be "swallowing" the food they have sucked in. But either way, they are so fun to watch!

When I was a kid I was hanging out near the railroad tracks He found a sealed and pressurized coke bottle about 2/3 full of a pail yellow liquid. He told me that is what happens if coke is left in the sun. I told him, "No, that's what happens when you pass coke through human kidneys." He got a confused look on his face and I explained further, "Train engineers can't leave their post, not even if they have to take a leak. Drinking a Coke will cause the engineer to need to take a leak, but it also provides you a handy container to pee into." He got what I was saying at this point. He got this horrified expression on his face and threw the bottle of engineer piss away. Apparently it was his bother who told him about the sun bleached Coke thing, but worse, he got him to taste it. He had never tasted piss before so he did not identify the pail yellow liquid for what it really was at the time, only that it tasted horrible. So I found out my friend knew something I didn't know. What piss tastes like. So yea, don't ever drink sun bleached Coke.

Had chemo for non Hodgkin's Tcell lymphoma about 18 years ago. I was part of a study where I got double the amount of chemo in a lot of drugs, doxorubicin,6MP,8TG, Methotrexate,daunorubicin.etc doxorubicin really messed my mouth up to the point I had to numb my mouth before eating even soft foods, but it melted the tumor that was pressing on my lungs and heart, pissed most of it out within 2 weeks but the quarter size left took 2 years. They get you as close to dressed as possible without dieing (permanently) I did die but only for a few minutes lol. Chemo is wonderful and awful at the same time but it sure saved my life, UCSF doctors and nurses are the best people and made my time there a lot easier.

I'm from the America's and was told its usually because my body isn't used to the water there. Could you guys show what the different living micro-ecosystems in the drinking waters around the world look like, and why this can sometimes get a reaction like this? THANK YOU ALL

@BaronVonQuiply Жыл бұрын

When I was a kid I read that this was caused by your body being unaccustomed to the differing mineral content of water found sufficiently far from home. Thinking about it, I couldn't come up with a mechanism, outside of arsenic for example, so I googled, and whoever wrote that visited people with a contaminated well.

@norakat 11 ай бұрын

I would say that it is almost certainly caused by bacteria or living organism. I literally felt like I was gonna die out there. I ran out of bottled water, and was too lazy to go out and buy it. I drank the tap water that tasted clean and was cold and refreshing, but hours later I felt like I was going to die. I had diarrhea for several days. I think the locals can tolerate it because their body has built up defenses.

@krisreddish3066 6 ай бұрын

It is mostly caused by immune system and how it reacted with new toxins. Take shiga toxin, from certain e-coli, if never exposed to it the first time your body goes nutty and sheds your fast dividing cells in your gut, but after a time you adapt to it. Until then craps and the runs.
