Pish! As if this is such a news. David Beckham, anyone? The metrosexual legend and the symbol of masculine beauty of the 90s! And then he speaks
Finding someone with a flawless face, an athletic body, and a seductive voice is a statistical anomaly. For decades, evolutionary psychology claimed that elite genetics created a unified aesthetic billboard. If you had the face, you had the body and the voice to match. But researchers just crushed that myth by analyzing 516 living subjects using hyper-precise 3D body scans to strip away clothing biases, isolated vocal tracks, and direct blood draws. While your face and 3D body frame are tightly synchronized as a single visual package (r = 0.44), the link between physical attractiveness and vocal attractiveness completely drops to a near-negligible r = 0.10. To put that into perspective, if you took a random room of 10,000 people, the strong visual connection means about 270 of them would successfully pair a top-tier face with a top-tier body. But because the voice completely decouples from the body, it acts as a random roll of the dice. Once you layer that in, only 27 people out of the entire 10,000, a measly 0.27% (less than 1 percent) will actually possess the flawless face, the athletic frame, and the seductive voice combined. The most dominant, physically imposing males in the study consistently registered vocal tracks that independent raters flagged as weak, average, or entirely unthreatening. Current adult testosterone and estradiol levels accounted for exactly 0% of the variance across these traits. Your day-to-day adult hormones are doing absolutely nothing to coordinate how you look with how you sound.

What an amazing discovery! Never heard of this. My life's just doubled the colour palette. Thank you, resourceful and kind strangers, for sharing 🙃

Il existe des bandes transparentes qui se mettent au même endroit que ton élastique. Les danseuses qui dansent en talons les utilisent, ça se voit quasiment pas.

Tfw CCP reads USSR to me, every time before the brain activates! ...how did Soviets make Chinese taller🤔 Ahh of course! Missing 3rd C! Again. Before the language mismatch even registers
ngl it is quite insane how the CCP had a 'heightmog the Japanese' program launched in the early 2000s that's still ongoing and the result is the median height of Chinese teenagers went up by like 10cm

Thanks to the algorithm bringing up to my TL a post about the film I've never seen translation feature a big mistery revealed. Eng 'on point' that my Brit Jr doesn't understand the meaning of, is a literal translation of 'spot on'. Bravo!
Estás opinando al pedo, entonces. Porque justamente la película tiene media hora mostrando el por qué ese personaje no tiene amigas y es completamente entendible y al punto

Being an unc-foid, have to thank The Economist for bringing Rosalia to masses (me). Such an imaginative artist! Beautiful music. I'm so glad to have discovered

A new type of illiteracy: The afflicted are people who believe they can read well because they once did. They write well, and their brains r making fast connections and "saving time" so they skim really fast, lock on to key words, make connections about what they assume is being said due to pre existing assumptions about the author. then emotional and eloquently react to an argument you did not make. This type of illiteracy feels very insidious and scary because it's effecting academics and engineers and people society relies on

#SpotifyWrapped! 238 genres. All veiled in mystery and ambiguity, me be proud of being useless for ad profiling: "Taste like yours can't be defined" Nothing can destroy the Metal! 🤘 Premier choice consistency curtails the mystery cape
