    Hopefully it gets peer reviewed soon. It’s interesting but I would like to see it reproduced before we say it was discovered.

    In a study that has yet to be peer reviewed

        It’s not a virus, and I think that @TachyonTele@lemm.ee was saying that they’d like the study reproduced, not the Obelisks.

          I know that my comment deserved an “/s” since I was playing off of unclear pronouns and the article’s use of “virus-like,” but I felt that admitting that I was in on the joke undermined the humor. I stand by my choice and accept my downvotes for the chuckles.

                You took your shot at subtle, fartographer. It didn’t pass muster as much as gas.

                  “It didn’t pass muster as much as gas” is now my favorite phrase of the week. I’m stealing that to throw in everyone’s faces and act all smug and sophisticated when I say it.

        Because they’re not a virus. And they’re a new discovery, we don’t know how they reproduce.

      This article is from January. It has since been peer reviewed and published in Cell. But, having been peer reviewed has no bearing on reproducibility unless within this study they were to have multiple independent groups repeat their experiments. Which I don’t think they did. Still, good study I think.

      I’m a peer. I pee at least 6 times a day; more if I’d had a lot of water that day. Can I review it?
