Special guest Amanda Kelly Van Winkle miraculously returns for a second episode! We must not have scared her off too much. Six Degrees covers the mechanics of speech in monkeys, giraffes becoming an endangered species, and the mysteries of antimatter.

Six Degrees takes on another guest, Amanda Kelly Van Winkle!

You haven't seen a viral video until you've seen a sloth pooping.

2016/08/15

Technology advances further in the reanimation of dead tissue, and science advances further in studying feelings of fish. Silicon Valley creates a veggie burger that bleeds, sizzles, and tastes like meat, while new research indicates that depression might be an allergic reaction to inflammation. Oh, and we get severely off topic discussing

Six Degrees of Rumination ·

2016/08/15

Reno and Nina finally admit they might have a serious brain condition--producer Mike is not surprised. Technology wins against Earth when it comes to leap seconds, but it takes nothing more than a weasel to disarm the most powerful particle collider. Looks like Earth got technology back. New York may be one step closer to prosecuting people who text and drive, and accidental developments in the science of energy create a battery that lasts 400 times

Six Degrees debates the value in programming wheelchairs to read monkeys' thoughts--is the expensive technology and simian frustration worth the grapes?

Is life more like Tetris or chess? An internet opinion haver leans towards Tetris--maybe because he plays it every day. Technology gets even better at delivering a faster internet, and science makes more advances toward understanding how our brains work. Nature provides more examples of unbelievable animals (and their behavior) and history shows us how little we know about ourselves. Finally, find out how YOU WILL

Does texting ruin a relationship? Host Nina and producer Mike take a break from texting each other to weigh in. Then producer Mike takes everyone on a tangent to overly discuss the details of their first few dates. In other news, marshmallows play a part in predicting a child's willpower throughout their life. [EDIT: the "marshmallow test" has long been incorrectly described as an experiment in willpower, but actually focuses on predicting personality traits from childhood to adulthood.] Flint

Producer Mike is on Day 1 of attempting to quit coffee, while hosts Nina and Reno make no attempt to ease up on puns and smart remarks. Baby pods are discussed, as well as the logistical and moral sub-issues of the intra-vaginal technology. Scientists took a break from developing in utero soundscapes to find a way to preserve the entire internet (yes, your old Myspace profile will live forever now). They've also come up with waterless toilets that turn human waste into power
