  • Based on the article, the device will host actual kidney cells - I’m sure it won’t be as effective as having your own original kidney, especially in it’s early prototypes, but hopefully it’ll be better than mere dialysis.

    Even if the device was just a glorified portable dialysis machine though, that would still be a significant quality of life improvement for those on dialysis. With dialysis you’re locally tethered to the dialysis clinic because you need weekly treatments, until you eventually die or win the kidney lottery. With a portable machine you could hopefully travel, see the world and visit family more.

    Be kind to your kidneys everyone, drink enough water! You don’t want a life without efficient kidneys.







  • They said the originals do not appear on their account on Reddit. They also said they edited their original posts to be empty. They’re able to edit and delete their modified (empty) comments based on what I understand of their post.

    I don’t see anything in OP’s post that indicates Reddit.com itself is displaying the originals, only the search engines are, and the cache would be the reason why.


  • Search engines do not scrape the entire internet every single time someone searches. They do routine scrapes of web content and create a cache of what was there, and search that cache. This is why updates to websites do not always reflect on searches.

    You’re contents are findable on Google because the last time they bothered to scrape that particular Reddit post was when your comment was intact, and they have not had a need to scrape it again since then.



  • I agree fake, but only because this knitted piece would require a single noodle many yards long in order to achieve this length. Unless this is a singular noodle of epic proportions, there’s no way this could be done.

    A standard ramen noodle would get you two, maybe 3 rows before running out.
