    OP, post a damn summary paragraph or something more than a title and a link. Tell me why I give and upvote, and get engaged. Help the author, help yourself.

      I don’t think I understand you. Why don’t you click on the link to access it? As the link reveals, it is from ScienceDaily, so there is also a summary.

        It’s worth knowing your audience.

        As I write this there are 19 upvotes and ours are the only comments, which is off topic. If you want to react a broader audience you have to entice them. You have a lead in a title and link but no follow up, no insight, and with that very limited engagement about a great topic. Give a paragraph, or copy their lead paragraph. Write a reaction. A little bit of work on your part will generate a lot more interest of lemmy’s, many of who will just scroll on by without clicking without a bit more reason to dive in.

          I find it quite impressive that you feel entitled to dictate to me how you want me to post. You are free to post the way you want when you start doing so.

    • Scientists have uncovered an unexpected witness to Earth’s distant past: tiny iron oxide stones called ooids. These mineral snowballs lock away traces of ancient carbon, revealing that oceans between 1,000 and 541 million years ago held far less organic carbon than previously thought. This discovery challenges long-standing theories linking carbon levels, oxygen surges, and the emergence of complex life.
