    there are no registry of panda before the 1800

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo_(Chinese_zoology)#Mo_giant_panda

    Why do they lie about facts that are so easy to disprove?

        It’s greentext so the pandas are fake and gay, that’s why they need to be artificially inseminated.

      First mention by hhhhwhite people was in 1869, apparently. But mentioned in chinese texts as early as like 2000 years ago

        most of the citations are improper/broken

        …citations… to books… not broken links lol.

        [19] (tr. adapted from Harper 2013: 185, 205)

        And on page 185, we find the exact text cited

        https://www.scribd.com/document/485010568/Donald-Harper-2012-2013-The-Cultural-History-of-the-Giant-Panda-in-Early-China-pdf

        What few historical Mo panda are referenced were called giant iron eating beasts in mythical tales, no artistic depictions, and most of the citations are improper/broken.

        For the mythical part, you’re conflating Mo panda and mythical Mo chimera, which is confusing. Giant pandas are known to and commonly observed licking rocks, soil, and metal objects to supplement minerals missing from their diet of bamboo, so that’s where iron eating comes from. The given ancient decriptions of them are consistent with a panda, but for some reason you’ve chosen not to quote those descriptions, instead crafting your own.

        Resembles a bear, with a small head, short legs, mixed black and white; able to lick and consume iron, copper, and bamboo joints; its bones are strong and solid within, having little marrow; and its pelt can repel dampness.

        Sounds like a panda.

        No clue what you mean by my link is “slightly off”

            Say your library did, you would read this book in Classical Chinese? Or would you rely on a translation, probably published much later?

                Here’s a digitization of the first one and the second one, including a picture of an edition of the work itself. I found it by googling the names of the works in the quoted section.

                If that’s not sufficient, I suggest you ask at your local (or most local) university library.

            That’s not how citations work.

            You’ll notice under the “General References” section the full citation of the work.

            Because the work is cited multiple times, it is appropriate to use a shortened citation, following the proper style according to the wikipedia guidelines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Shortened_footnotes

    I always heard they were larger and ate a specific diet of plants that are now extinct, and so have adapted to only eating low nutrition bamboo and it’s caused them to barely be able to reproduce.

        If you mean the paper saying it can’t be a simulation because the universe has true randomness, which can’t be created in software: we ourselves do in fact have true randomness in software, by capturing it from the environment via hardware sensors for fluctuations in temperature and such.

            For what claim?

            If you mean the fact that we have true randomness, just read about how secure random number generators work, like urandom. It’s not some industry secret, they’re in every computer and likely every smartphone out there, and have been around for twenty years at least.

              That having true randomness in machines means the study is debunked?

                If we’re talking about the same thing, then afaik their whole claim is that we aren’t in a simulation, because we have true randomness which can’t be created in software. But it’s not necessary to create true randomness in software to have it in said software.

                Although I haven’t read the full paper, and am going off what people wrote about it in comments.

        The new RAM shortages confirms the simulation theory though. Think about it, we start building more and more datacenters => the real servers running the simulation saturate their memory and whoever’s running the simulation needs to upgrade their memory => simulation computing power is artificially capped for a few “years” (a few weeks in reality for the memory upgrade to be delivered and installed)
