What do I feel like today?
I thought the question is what do I feel like today unless you choose dealer's choice in
which case it is in fact what you feel like today.
It's not dealer's choice.
I was just looking through the articles and I felt like reading.
Okay.
Are you going to go with a dealer's suggestion then or should I just go from what I remember
from the different groups?
Then what do you feel like?
Why don't you tell me?
You got any update?
Actually no let's not do an update.
The updates are coming pretty damn quick.
I don't know how many updates.
I do have an update though.
Something along the lines of feeling middling.
I know there's like four different groups we have for that.
Feeling middle?
Middling, yeah.
Well we could feel like science?
No, I don't feel like science.
Okay.
Let's see what we got to be filed.
It could be can't choose.
It could be what's the other one?
There's can't choose and...
Feeling uncertain?
Feeling uncertain, yes.
One of those two.
This could be interesting because I'm not sure why it's feeling uncertain.
Okay.
I mean we can speculate on what we want of why it's under feeling uncertain.
Doritos die turns mice translucent.
Researchers find.
Are humans next?
That's a cliffhanger for anyone that's ever eaten a Dorito.
Doritos might be no...
Oh this is on global news.
I didn't know Doritos were died.
I thought they just had powder.
You thought they were in nice bright orange color.
I thought they got powdered cheese covered on them.
No I think...
When do they die them?
At what point?
I don't know.
Let's find out.
September 9th, 2024.
It's 1147 a.m.
I like her last name.
That's a good journalist name.
Doritos might have been...
No Doritos might be known for spicing up snack time.
Snack time.
Not snack.
I thought...
But Stanford researchers have discovered that a die in the chips can also turn mice
translucent.
Study published September 6th in the journal Science explains how researchers at Stanford
University in California used a common food die called yellow number 5.
Does that sound familiar for the color of Doritos now?
No but it sounds awfully similar to red die number 5 which has just been banned in California
I believe.
Yeah it better.
Found in various foods and beauty products on the skin of live mice.
That was weird.
The die created a temporary window that made their organs, muscles, and blood vessels visible
the researchers said that is the most disturbing sentence I've ever read.
Why did they just discover this?
Like have they not been using it for long?
How long have Doritos been around?
A lot longer than September of this year.
A technique called optical tissue clearing which has not yet been tested on humans but
we're eating Doritos.
No it's been tested in humans.
In humans.
Yeah okay not on humans just on the inside.
We don't know how clear our organs are after eating Doritos.
Could potentially allow the non-invasive observation and monitoring of injuries or diseases to
authors argue.
Wow they took that in a really positive direction.
Looking forward this technology could make veins more visible for the drawing of blood,
make laser based tattoo removal more straightforward, or assist in the early detection and treatment
of cancers.
Co-author and Stanford University assistant professor of material science and engineering
Guo Song Hong said, for example certain therapies use lasers to eliminate cancerous and precancerous
cells but are limited to areas near the skin surface.
This technique may be able to improve that light penetration Hong said in a September
6 press release.
The artificial food dye used in the experiment Tartizine also known as yellow number five
is approved for use in the United States and Canada.
It is commonly used to give yellow color to a range of products including Doritos, Mountain
Dew, M&M, cereals like Cap and Crunch and beauty products such as shampoo, conditioner,
soap and eyeliner as well as some vitamins and medicines.
A lot of those things I don't picture as yellow.
I know although Tartizine is widely used to color foods and cosmetics researchers sought
to explore whether it could make mice's skin translucent.
Where is the connection there?
Oh how did they achieve the surprising effect?
Scattering of light prevents us from seeing through our bodies the author has explained
is because fats, cellular fluids, proteins and other materials each have different refractive
indices which determine how much incoming light waves are bent.
Make bodies transparent.
Scientists wanted to make all the different parts of the tissues have the same light bending
properties.
Researcher found that Tartizine can do this.
When this dies I just didn't add a benefit other than changing our products to yellow
dye number 5 color.
When this dye is added to water and soaked into tissue, Tartizine molecules are structured
in a way that aligns with the light bending ability of the skin.
The dye absorbs blue and purple light and allows red and orange light to travel through
the tissue resulting in transparency the study said.
The method would first tested on the thin slices of chicken breast.
As researchers increased the concentration of Tartizine the light bending properties
of the fluid inside the muscle cells became similar to those of the muscle proteins making
the slice transparent the researcher said.
The researchers then applied a temporary Tartizine solution to mice.
On the sculpt this made the skin transparent revealing the brain's blood vessels.
When applied to the abdomen it showed the movements of the intestines, heart and lungs.
Strugly absorbing dye molecules when applied topically to biological tissues can reduce
the intrinsic light scattering within these tissues the study said.
This effect renders various biological tissues including the sculpt muscle and abdomen transparent.
The researcher said adding that Tartizine did not seem to have any elastic effects.
That's enough there's only like two sentences left to the end but I feel like that encapsulates
it.
What I thought is like why do they like have a product and they're like you know what this
is missing?
Color.
Color of invisibility.
Oh okay.
Yes.
And then they're like we don't give a shit what invisibility properties this could give
the organs.
Like right now if you were in my body you know we're bleeding on the inside.
Really contained bleeding as we've established.
And you could be like wow we can see right through herosophagus like we can see that
it shouldn't but it is just clear as the windows are.
The thing I'm really curious about is if we apply this to the skin while somebody's
eating Doritos.
Yeah.
Is it gonna have some type of double impact where we can see right into the stomach?
Well from what I gather from this article yes.
That is correct.
Or say if you really want to make it extreme with Mountain Dew as well.
Yes.
Okay no you gotta mix Mountain Dew with the powder of the Doritos.
And then apply it.
They tell her to get to the mice.
They said water but they're not using water.
It is scientific and I imagine that's pretty fucking scientific if you ask me but why?
Why do we need to change the color of something?
Why does making Mountain Dew fluorescent yellow?
Like it more appealing.
It doesn't make sense to me.
It's not yellow either.
That's the most confusing part.
The other thing I was really confused about.
This only seems to work on like organic beings or like live cells.
And this is what?
Well I was like speculating rubbing Doritos on like a door to see through the door.
Or like any number of things to make translucent.
I'd wonder if they tried that.
You wouldn't think it would work the same though.
It must be like an organ.
A living organ.
If you have enough Doritos and a thin enough door the grease will in fact make you translucent
eventually.
True.
But I don't think it's the yellow number five dye doing it.
That left me with a lot of questions.
And like how they just kind of knew that this was something that could happen.
They're like oh yeah yeah the yellow dye that'll make things invisible.
No yeah they were totally like we need to think up something that's going to make body
parts translucent and they're like we already know that.
Yellow dye number five.
We just weren't telling anyone because we're Doritos.
We're not scientists.
We just wanted it for its color.
It's vibrant color.
It almost reminds me I've been reading up on the lore of Warhammer 40,000.
There's a race called the Orcs that live there and they're inherently psychic.
But they don't really know it but it impacts the world around them.
So anything that's painted red like a vehicle it goes faster than all the other vehicles
because it's red because red things go faster.
And anything that's purple is invisible.
It's a sneaky color because nobody's ever seen a purple orc.
And it's because they all think this way that it just works.
And I'm wondering if it's just something innate to scientists now.
Like yeah yellow stuff makes you invisible.
It's just how it works.
And then it's their psychic powers bringing it out.
Yeah like who doesn't know that at this point because they're like we already knew this.
Doritos hold the secret to seeing me inside of human bodies.
Yeah and in any event we all know that this is going to end up with some weird rule 34
implications.
But don't think too much about that.
Think about the other implications of say Doritos just like where you can rub them to
make invisible stuff.
You got 48 hours.
We expect to see you back here and not be imprisoned.
So be responsible with this power.
Anyhow goodbye.
