Sorry, thought you were talking about the stomach acid that came out of OP’s asshole. My mistake.

Hydrochloric acid. Lactic acid is the one that makes your muscles sore after straining them.

No, actually. Please tell me this technology is some kind of “accidental discovery” relating to the titanic, cause this diagram is very reminiscent of the play-by-play diagrams explaining how it happened.

My guess is the energy is wasted on mechanical energy vibrating the entire vehicle and structures in direct vicinity, vs more efficient speakers that focus the energy into sound waves that go straight up in the air where your ears can catch em

I’ve mostly gotten over my more intense childhood arachnophobia but the big ones and up close pictures still freak me out and I still smash em or vacuum them up when they’re in my home regardless of size so they don’t end up in my mouth when I’m asleep (that stat about eating so many spiders in a year really messed with me as a kid)
- Comment on Anon figures out how dieting works 4 weeks ago:
My maintenance as a woman was somewhere between 1700 and 2000 calories. With the meals that I was used to having, this was easily exceeded simply by eating more than one meal per day. So I switched to an OMAD diet and hit a plateau around 170lbs while I was dancing. I was happy with that weight so I loosened up, eventually stopped dancing, and now I use the time saved to eat healthier (or at least less processed) food instead of less food in general and maintain at that weight.
I tried biking and while I enjoyed it, it just wasn’t something I was going to keep up with consistently. The hassle alone of getting a bike down from my 3rd floor apartment was enough to end that, and the stationary bike just isn’t engaging enough. Again, any progress I make from that is gone from one bad eating choice, which is going to happen if you change your activity level without any consideration for nutrition. This isn’t a magical world of pure numbers, there is human psychology involved.
I do think the dancing boosted my metabolism a bit or maybe something changed in my lifestyle like returning to office instead of WFH and now I’m more consistently maintaining at just over 2000 calories. I really wouldn’t be able to even simply maintain without reading nutrition labels and limiting my snacking though.

8+ cans a day
Jesus yeah that’s 1600 calories right there. Conservatively lol.
- Comment on Anon figures out how dieting works 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think you realize how few calories are burned by exercise relative to the amount packed into our food, especially if you eat without thinking about it. I was dancing for a while, 8 hours straight of sometimes very intensive cardio, and only burning like 1000 extra calories (according to my fitbit) on those days just to feel like shit the next day from all that work, which would definitely have driven me to eat even more if I wasn’t paying attention to my diet or able to control my impulses (which tbh I think one or the other can be assumed for someone 100+ lbs overweight).
Even the most intensive bike ride or couple hours at the gym can be eaten away in as few as 7-10 oreos. Sure if you just need to trim a pound or two to get to your ideal weight, exercise alone can do that along with many other great benefits if you can commit to it daily, but you simply cannot expect to see results if you are habitually overeating highly caloric/low nutritional value foods and do not change those habits.

Do we even have enough helium to be using it in zeppelins though? I thought it was in shortage which is bad because it’s needed for medical and scientific purposes. Like we shouldn’t even be using it in balloons bad.
- Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk 5 weeks ago:
I once had to live with a guy that would go through 2-4 gallons in a week on his own and just let the empty jugs build up in (around) the recycle bin for weeks on end. Grew up on a dairy farm. Honestly I shouldn’t have to say more to tell you he was a freak.
- Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk 5 weeks ago:
I mean I’ve known that I’m lactose intolerant since I was 13 or something so yeah it wasn’t hard to stay away from drinking straight milk into adulthood.
Learning this little factoid also helped immensely: "Because of the mastitis epidemic in the U.S. dairy herd, the dairy industry continues to demand that American milk retain the highest allowable “somatic cell” concentration in the world."via: nutritionfacts.org, how much pus is there in milk?
also. drank. 🙂
- Comment on Lots of times the restaurants won't even have milk 5 weeks ago:
I do not wish to dine alongside whatever freak chooses to drink milk with their meal. Restaurants menus lacking milk as a drinking option is definitely a positive for me.

- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 1 month ago:
I think we just realized how overly clinical and dehumanizing it is and it just became an easy tell that that person probably, whether they realize it or not, doesn’t really see women as equally human to men, like women are only the sex characteristics that make them biologically female.
To be clear, im referring to the phenomenon where someone, despite frequently using the word ‘men’, is seemingly only able to refer to women as ‘females’. You almost never see ‘males’ used in that standalone way outside of clinical contexts. So yeah, blame those people for ruining it, not the rest of us for wising up to it.

OK, suppose I agree, but what does this sentence add to this conversation? “More” doesn’t mean much.
Lol. That is exactly my point. Thank you for confirming it.
Not really sure what it is about those two sentence fragments that suggest that my argument is not in good faith but I honestly don’t expect you to have any answers anyways beyond base knee-jerk reactions.

Said by someone that clearly doesn’t understand why that is a racist and misleading statistic
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 3 months ago:
“The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that 97.2% of men do not report domestic violence to the police, compared to 82.1% of women.[6]”
Which is exactly why they rely on anonymous survey results rather than police reports to get these statistics, which you would understand if you looked into Excrubulent’s sources before immediately going into defense mode and jumping down their throat because they acknowledged that women being wary of men is not irrational behavior.
Men in general are more likely than women to be physically violent towards their partners, and women in general are more likely than men to be victims of physical abuse.
To acknowledge that is not to say all men are abusive, just as it is not to say that all women are abuse survivors. However, to jump in and go “not ALL men!!!” only when violence against women is discussed is to dismiss and silence the trauma experienced by all domestic abuse survivors regardless of gender, assume that there is some “clue” they all missed to avoid being abused, and that anyone who responds to that trauma by being wary of people with similar broad-strokes profiles is treating unfairly everyone that does not exhibit this explicit “clue”. And that is victim-blaming, because there is just no way to know at first glance.
Those might sound like hefty assumptions but I gotta be honest with you, I truly do not understand what outcome you are trying to reach by rehashing this, over and over, other than silencing discourse that you find damaging to your own ego and self-image, and, further, what rationale you could find to feel personally attacked by this discourse, other than simply not being able to empathize with fellow members of the human race that happen to belong to the opposite gender.
It is reasonable to be cautious as a woman until you can be sure that the man you are with is safe. You can argue that men should do the same if you truly believe that they experience the same risks. You cannot argue, however, that women are wrong or irrational for behaving this way without making sexist arguments. Which is probably why you people always stop short of making any actual actionable arguments.
And to clarify, because apparently we are unable to differentiate unless it is said explicitly; I’m talking about you, personally, and people that respond in this way to any mention of domestic abuse with acknowledgement that it is primarily experienced by women at the hands of men. I am not talking about ALL men.
