Yeah, but that’s functional, to make the skin stretch and straight, granted I have no idea if the same applies to applying maskara, but as a laic looking at it it doesn’t seem like it should
Sure, gold has its actual uses, that’s why it’s marginally better than bitcoin, but the majority of gold is in jewelry or used as a investment vehicle.
That’s a felony though isn’t it? While a fake plastic coin likely no one will care.
Gold is nothing but an uncertainty indicator proxy, if gold price goes up, people are unsure in the market and future returns and thus buy gold, if the price is low the market and economy feels stable and people don’t buy gold

Ai slop from google
A genetically modified Cavendish banana (specifically the QCAV-4 line) has been developed with high resistance to the devastating
Panama disease Tropical Race 4 (TR4) fungus. The resistance is achieved by inserting a specific gene, RGA2, derived from the wild banana Musa acuminata ssp. malaccensis, which helps the plant defend against the soil-borne wilt fungus.
Key details about the resistant gene and modification:
- The Gene (RGA2): While the Cavendish already has the RGA2 gene, it is largely inactive or expressed at very low levels in conventional Cavendish bananas. The modified version (QCAV-4) uses a highly active version of this gene from a wild, resistant banana.
- Effectiveness: Field trials showed that QCAV-4 was highly resistant to TR4, with only 2% of plants infected, compared to 66% in non-GM control plants.
- Development: The modification was developed by researchers from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
- Approval: In February 2024, the Australian government approved this genetically modified banana for commercial release.
- Future Development: Researchers are also using CRISPR gene-editing technology in partnership with Fresh Del Monte to potentially activate the banana’s own existing RGA2 gene, rather than introducing one from a wild source.
There is already a cavendish variety that resists the fungus or what is it attacking it, but it was created using gene manipulation so it’s not allowed in the EU
