It lets people access scientific articles for free. This is dangerous. It helps the free flow of knowledge and reduces the competitive edge of all the people who worked really hard to have been born into a wealth.
Like, it’s literally a website where you can type in the DOI of an article and read it, without ever having to pay the publisher who exploited the author.
So, again, do not, under any circumstance, use Sci-Hub. I mean, can you imagine a world where knowledge is free and easily accessible to everyone? Even, y'know, poor people?
Libgen also has many books online, including textbooks, searchable by name, author, and ISBN. Can you imagine textbook companies not getting their hard-earned income from poor college students? Here is the link just so you make sure that you never accidentally stumble across this horrible, unethical website.
Oh, and while we’re talking about books, if you’ve managed to stay clear from Libgen, definitely don’t go to zlibrary, where you can also find a lot of textbooks, but unfortunately they’re completely free.
Another inside tip from academia: Those papers in really expensive journals that are effectively inaccessible to anyone not in a university network? Depending on the discipline it’s very likely that same paper is on a “preprint” server somewhere, with no access restrictions.
Like if you want to read basically any physics, math, or CS paper, arXiv.org will have you covered, because everyone uploads their papers there before submitting to a journal (and generally updates it after peer review). I know all of my papers are on there. This is such common practice that journals have it baked into their licensing agreements that authors retain the right to upload their work to these places.
So the next time you get hit with that paywall, you may not even need sci-hub, just click the arxiv link on google scholar instead.
if for some reason none of this works, the old “send a email nicely asking for the paper to the author” is always a good trick. remember most scientists hate the commercialisation of scientific knowledge
Many authors of papers are on ResearchGate! You can ask for papers there, if they don’t just post a copy to download. If they’re associated with a college, you can usually find their email addresses in the department directory, also.

So Sir David Attenborough was already a well known naturalist(the docementary kind, not the nudist kind) in 1961 to have an animal named after him, then lived 60 years thinking the animal went extinct and now lives to see evidence of it not being extinct. That is both incredibly heartwarming and a very Elf-core thing of him to do. He truly is an archdruid
This is probably so good for her body, too! Imagine her muscles getting moved in ways they don’t normally and she is upright and hopefully not having any pressure spots! This is lovely in so many ways!
This is a wonderful invention, but the man in the picture is one of the testers. He is not the inventor. The inventor was an Israeli woman named Debby Elnatan who developed this with an Irish company for her son.
Apparently, a Redditor cropped the original image that displayed two women prominently to only focus on this guy on the side and rewrote the story to make it seem like a man’s generous innovation. This is not some kind of wacky telephone game error; this is deliberate misogyny.

GLaDOS voice: "Would you like to see some artwork I generated? I've heard from other test subjects that AI-generated artwork produces an uncanny valley response in human viewers because they can't perceive it as fully real. They've told me that it looks absolutely hideous to them, that they can't imagine anything more disgusting than AI art. But, well I've been practicing and wanted your honest opinion. Feel free to let me know how ugly you find this by ranking it on a scale from 'vomit-inducing' to 'eye-bleeding'."
A robotic arm lowers from the ceiling holding a hand mirror up to Chell's face
finds a horrific looking stray in literal garbage. its missing an eye, and is completely starved.
he sees it scrounging for food, walks a few paces, trying to ignore it, then stops.
annoyed at himself, he turns back.
the cat hisses, tiny and fierce.
Maul hisses back.
the cat fluffs up, but does let Maul approach, and comes to sniff his hand when Maul offers.
he's confused by his own actions when he scoops the thing under his arm, not really knowing how to hold this tiny fluff.
getting back to his home hideout he fills the sink with water, and he wrestles this hairball into a bath, the little thing eventually accepting its fate. it does ruin a pair of his gloves, though.
Maul gets the thing food and supplies at a pet store, and the saleperson recommends a small toy as well. He glares at the salesperson.
but he gets the stupid toy.
the first little while is strained. the cat is timid, skittering around in the shadows, knocking shit over as it tries to find new places to hide.
Maul spends far too much time chasing after it, snapping at it to just please stop trying to get into the vents in the walls.
one day, Maul sits on the floor to meditate.
and a tiny little fuzzy head bumps into his knee.
he ignores it because he's meditating.
then the cat pads into his folded lap, nuzzling down without a care in the galaxy.
Maul sighs, but continues his meditation, finishing a while later, but now faced with a problem.
how is he going to get up with this creature in his lap?
so he stays there for a looong time, until it wakes up and stretches, turning its face towards him, mewling in satisfaction.
from there, anytime Maul meditates, the cat takes a nap in his lap. eventually, he learns that he can, in fact, meditate while scratching the soft ears of his cat.
it starts looking healthy and its fur is fluffy and dark, his one eye bright gold, like his own.
Maul begins to train the cat with treats to follow simple commands, working up to his favourite trick.
making the cat jump up his chest to perch on his shoulder.
the cat starts following Maul everywhere, nuzzling with him when Maul goes to bed. He sleeps well for the first time in months when this happens the first time.
Maul will sit on the floor, playing fetch with the little hunter, using the Force to hover and bob the toys in a greater challenge for his tiny friend.
it takes about a year for Maul to finally come up with a name for the cat. he just called it 'cat' or 'nuisance' until then.
but after he had gotten into Maul's closet and decided a pair of his gloves were excellent prey, he called him a little menace.
and that became his name, Little Menace.
