Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'm no expert, but my guess is no because they likely have the same chemicals on the surface as any other of your own cells, so there's nothing to target.

Why not a vasectomy? Mine was easy and mostly covered by normal insurance (in the USA).

No. The lipid nanoparticles are designed with the ability to easily enter cells. This would not be possible if they are chemically the same as the cells they are entering.

The reason why people get cancer 15 years or so after a vasectomy is because there is no place for anything to go and it gets absorbed back into your body... and the chance of having cancer cells absorbed increases... or something

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Looks like studies are inconclusive on that and even when they show an effect it is a small increase of a low base rate. Also your proposed mechanism doesn't make sense because the increase if it exists is for prostate cancer, not testicular.

[–] Joeffect@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

But... it has no place to go... so the fluid that is made in the prostate doesn't go anywhere... I could be wrong and my info is probably outdated by years... but that was my understanding...

My wife wants another kid but our girlfriend doesn’t.

Oh. Maybe freeze some, then snip.

Or just rely on condoms, abortion, etc.
