musicalcactus , in TIL that there are approximately 299 people cryogenically frozen in Scottsdale, Arizona
@musicalcactus@midwest.social avatar

The youngest of the patients at Alcor is two-year-old Matheryn Naovaratpong, a Thai girl with brain cancer, who was cryopreserved in 2015, reports Reuters.

“Both her parents were doctors, and she had multiple brain surgeries,” More tells the publication. “Nothing worked, unfortunately. So, they contacted us.”

This is a bit chilling. How do you begin to move on with your lifeif you’re holding out hope that your loved one will be revived one day? What happens to this girl’s body once her parents die? What happens if they beat the odds and master cryo and the girl gets revived in 100 years? That sounds incredibly traumatic.

That’d be a pretty cool concept for a short story or novel

All of the cryo groups I know of require payments for continued storage, stop paying then plan to come pick up your increasingly soupy loved one.

Damn… I feel like a fool for believing this for so long especially since I spoke so confidently to others about it as well. Haha damn! Thanks for sharing the knowledge OP!

Braysl , in TIL 50-80% of the population has herpes

Have you ever had a cold sore? Congrats, you’re part of the Herpes Havers group!

dditty ,

I’m pretty sure there are tons of people who have it but never even get a cold sore either

frostwhitewolf , in TIL 50-80% of the population has herpes

My understanding is that pretty much everyone who lives in a populated area has it. Most people just don’t get or show any physical symptoms.

quotheraven404 , in TIL Shirley Temple hated the mocktail of lemon-lime soda/ginger ale and grenadine named after her, declaring it "too sweet". In 1988, she won a lawsuit to stop a bottled version from using her name.

I actually thought Shirley Temple was a fictional character, like Little Orphan Annie. TIL!

    I remember liking it when I had one 20 or so years ago. It may have just been for the maraschino cherry though, I love those gross little things. Also the tiny plastic sword!

    SpaceNoodle , in TIL Prince was a huge Bangles fan. He wrote then gave them their breakout hit, "Manic Monday".

    The more I hear about this Prince guy, the more I like him.

    Original c/askLemmy title:

    “What is the most sexually depraved thought you’ve had about someone you were horny about?”

    Edited title:

    “Pedophiles of Lemmy, what kind of thoughts do you have about children?”

    deweydecibel ,

    See, this is a fun example.

    Unlike what we’ll actually see which is a bunch of generic thread titles being stealth changed to ads after enough upvotes.

    Do they prevent top posts from being edited to NSFW or an ad etc? Need to not poop for 3days — Now Sponsored by PF Changs™️

    glorious_albus OP ,

    I guess not. It could become a problem if malicious users misuse it.

    I hope there’s some alert that shows up to the mods (or even the users) if OP edits their title.

    Ideally there should be some version control so that anyone can go back and see the history of an edited post, but it doesn’t look like that is possible. You will see the pencil icon next to the post though

    An image of the pencil icon next to the post showing it is edited, with a mouse hovered over it which shows the time the post was last edited

    deweydecibel ,

    This is only better if you have absolutely no understanding of how dangerous it is for users to be able to bait and switch urls.

    orientalsniper ,

    I agree, it only takes one malicious user to change the url of a top post to exploit a vulnerability or to phish.

    Now the real question is: what are you going to edit this title to to make the commenters sound crazy?

    glorious_albus OP ,

    That’s an excellent idea. I hadn’t even considered that.

    Ozzy ,

    Leave a comment if you like big oily muscular men 🤤

    why_rob_y ,

    But what will he then change that to to make all of the comments seem crazy?
