But aren't the seas the sharks of the seas ?

It seems it’s rarely brought up in these conversations, but another stupid thing about return to office is that we know that commuting is a major contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and particulate pollution. So working from home would not only be an improvement in work conditions, sparing millions of individuals hours of wasted commuting time each week, it would also be an easy way to reduce pollution and mitigate global warming.

Laws should be passed that mandate employees can work from home whenever it cannot be demonstrated by the company hiring them that being on site is absolutely necessary to do the job.

There are other means besides hormonal ones. One of the methods currently being tested uses some kind of gel to block the vas deferens, the ducts that transport sperm away from the testicles. It’s reversible too. And then there are temperature based methods. I’ll add, to answer another poster, that condoms are really not a great method of contraception, because it relies so much on good practices on the user part every time you have sex. Were I a woman, I wouldn’t trust a condom and use a another form of contraception anyway, though obviously it has other benefits, notably protecting from STIs. Personnally, I will certainly use male contraceptives once they become available. There’s no reason this burden should rest on women’s shoulders alone. Altough again, were I a woman, I’d need to really trust the man i’m having sex with before relying solely on his contraception to do the job, considering that i’d be the pregnant one if things go wrong.

Is it worth closing the lid on a toilet before flushing?

This seems like something that should be true, but I think I remember seeing a Mythbusters episode where they decided it didn't make a difference. That show was more about entertainment than science, so I wondered if there was a more rigorous study done? I've definitely seen splashes of water(?) come out from flushes so that...

I think this video should convince you it’s absolutely worth it.
