In the latest newsletter „Clean my Mac X“ is listed. I always assumed that this is some form of malware, because they advertise so aggressively. Does it really make sense to „clean“ your mac?

> I am glad that you like it. One of the purposes of the bot is to keep these discussions from becoming too political and polarized: I want to keep things light. Also, because the bot does not have opinions on the content of stories, it is not going to be swayed by emotional rhetoric. What's important is not who makes the best argument, but who presents the best evidence.

When our ancestors climbed down from their trees, they also started eating windfall. Ripe fruits tend to ferment. This is the reason why most carnivores can’t metabolize alcohol, while humans and other herbi-/omnivores can. The evolutionary pressure was to be able to eat more.
