Reply to comment by UnawareMisery in [Homemade] Kimchi by zorbyss

Kimchi is a general term in the way the word pickle is. A pickle can be cucumbers but also peppers, cabbage, onions, etc. In the same way, kimchi can be all of those things and also radish, green onion, and any veg really. There are even white kimchi. There are over a thousand type of kimchi!

Cytobacteria? Or cyanobacteria?

Cyanobacteria can be cultivated in waste and sea waters and have been engineered to create loads of materials. They've also been cultivated in wastewater to take out excess nitrogen before processing. Other bacteria have been engineered to grab onto precious metals in industrial waste waters. There's a lot of promise but it's just a matter of 1) securing dependable funding, 2) managing organisms with recombinant DNA, and 3) translating lab results into the real world

Down Syndrome is a human disorder in which there's a wrong number of chromosomes (trisomy 21 -- three sets of the 21st chromosome instead of two, totaling 47 chromosomes instead of 46). Other animals do not have Down Syndrome due to this specific definition; they can have their own mutations that yield outcomes similar to human Down Syndrome though (source). That said, this daisy does not have Down Syndrome since it's not possible. This phenomenon is called fasciation, which can be due to genetic mutations or environmental factors (source).

feels a bit r/OrphanCrushingMachine but at the same time, good for them? The article calls it a "pop-up playground" so it sounds like a makeshift thing the community put together. The police apparently cordon it off from car traffic during school-ish hours and children can play in one of the safer areas of the neighborhood. The kids look like they're in primary school, and I couldn't imagine being 7 and not having had real play time since before the pandemic. I hope they get to keep their area and/or a new area created for them.
