The medical paper makes no mention of “improving grip”. That conclusion seems to be spurious and almost certainly wrong. The tire tread bit is particularly hilariously dumb. Your fingertips don’t need to shed water like a tire ffs.

That theory has been around for ages, much longer than AI. I recall reading it in Readers Digest as a kid. It’s also listed in Wikipedia as a probable reason with some studies backing it up.

How does what you linked conflict with what OP said?

Magic, as far as I can determine from the Internet.

Isn’t that kind of the thing, though? We don’t really know how many of the fundamental forces like gravity work, we just have hypotheses about their effects.

Could we seriously not have a science comm where the top comment thread isn’t a bunch of memes and jokes?

This is going to be the next Arch, isn’t it?

Lol?

I know nothing about NETBSD and would like some stories.
