The nearly perfectly symmetrical shape makes me think its due to the electromagnetic fields when current is passing through the socket to whatever is plugged in, but I have no idea why such a small amount would have such a dramatic effect on the mold.
“Got a runny nose or fever? Just lick this electrical socket!”

That’s how you lead a police department! Every other police chief should take notes and resign if that can’t hold themselves to this standard.

News@lemmy.world•House Democrats call for commission led by JD Vance to oust Trump
8·8 days agoMy hairbrained theory is that Vance and the cabinet know that they need to invoke the 25th, but they’re waiting until after Trump’s 2nd term is 2 years in.
Reasoning: As VP, Vance would replace Trump (that’s just how the system works), …and… If Vance finishes out less than 2 years of Trump’s term, then he’s eligible to run for reelection in the next 2 elections, for a total of 10 whole years.
Combine that with how rigged the system already is in favor of Republicans, and how much they’re trying to beef up the rigging, they’re probably confident that they can actually get the full 10 years.
Add 10 more years of further rigging the system and they’ll be locked in permanently.
So, put January 6th, 2027 on your calendar. If they can keep Trump from completely imploding until then, and if I’m right, the days and weeks after that are going to be interesting.

Health - Resources and discussion for everything health-related@lemmy.world•Nearly half of Americans hold some form of vaccine skepticism, poll findsEnglish
121·8 days agoALL medicine should be questioned, heavily today. We have dangerous meds put on the market all the time.
Sure but…
Anyone remember Vioxx? … phen-fen … Ozempic
None of which are vaccines. The poll was asking about"the science on vaccines" which is very well established, and those questioning it do so out of either ignorance or a “hidden” agenda (usually to sell a hand wavey book or get subscriptions to their “healthy mom something or other” YouTube channel).
The people with the actual credentials to be qualified to question vaccine science aren’t questioning it, because there’s nothing there to question.

98·15 days agoBecause she works in the medical field, she decided to create a condition related to health and hit on the name bixonimania because it “sounded ridiculous”, she says. “I wanted to be really clear to any physician or any medical staff that this is a made-up condition, because no eye condition would be called mania — that’s a psychiatric term.”
If that wasn’t sufficient to raise suspicions, Osmanovic Thunström planted many clues in the preprints to alert readers that the work was fake. Izgubljenovic works at a non-existent university called Asteria Horizon University in the equally fake Nova City, California. One paper’s acknowledgements thank “Professor Maria Bohm at The Starfleet Academy for her kindness and generosity in contributing with her knowledge and her lab onboard the USS Enterprise”. Both papers say they were funded by “the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation for its work in advanced trickery. This works is a part of a larger funding initiative from the University of Fellowship of the Ring and the Galactic Triad”.
Even if readers didn’t make it all the way to the ends of the papers, they would have encountered red flags early on, such as statements that “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”.
