A joke at my expense! okeedoke Plenty of influx of people claiming pseudo-science stuff to warrant the change, or at least the reason making sense. (To me) I didn't see the change as being a joke at your expense. EDIT: Upon realizing the date, I guess it could be a joke. I missed it, WOOOSH right past me.

HalfFeralHuman Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Haha, Just... to be sure I was on the same page as everyone as to what 'heliobiology' actually is I googled. This is start of the first result I got: Heliobiology > The following article is from The Great Soviet Encyclopedia (1979). It might be outdated or ideologically biased. I'm thinking that kinda says a lot already. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayday Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 No lie this post made me take a dive in to Davids thread so thanks lol. I agree with him, there is definitely no way the sun is NOT affecting our biology or neurology, if it can mess with sensitive and well shielded cables so why not our way less shielded brains and nerves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyngston Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I had been reading this site for a while, and really enjoy the app daily, but i created an account today just to commend the sense of humour. And to point out that Vitamin D, suntan, sunburn, skin cancer, and melanin are still clamoring for explanation, since heliobiology is apparently another russian hoax. which is actually pronounced HOE-AXE. cheers! 😉👍🏽😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad you enjoyed the humor, and I hope you stick around😉 And nah, skin cancer is definitely not caused by the sun. No heliobiology there. It’s from a Russian death ray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceWhiskey Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I feel like people who think heliobiology is a "pseudo-science" would not make very good scientists, and/or just don't appreciate biology as a science. As a scientist, I would recommend some individuals open their mind a little, and think outside the box. Some call that critical thinking, which is something they don't teach (enough of if at all) in school unfortunately. That said. I definitely didn't get the April fools joke at first, I had to read it like 10 times and see the latest posts in the heliobiology thread. Nice one, except for the disparaging heliobiology part, considering community members seem to take it pretty seriously due to health issues. I think there were even jokes about cancer above in this thread. Interesting sense of humor. Heck of an april fools today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
