  I presume asexual contact with minors is already banned, at least officially? If two consenting adult siblings want a go at each other, more power to them, because they make them royalty.

  Did you use a spoon or did you cut a hole in the corner pastry bag style and tape it back up next time?

  Pythagoras advised followers to “abstain from beans because they are flatulent and partake most of the breath of life; and besides, it is better for the stomach if they are not taken, and this again will make our dreams in sleep smooth and untroubled” (Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers, 8.1.24).

  Later, in a passage insinuating that the problem with the beans potentially resided in mystic ritual purification issues, Diogenes Laertius wrote that Pythagoras called for, “abstaining from meat and flesh of animals that have died, mullets, gurnards, eggs and egg‑sprung animals, beans, and the other abstinences prescribed by those who perform mystic rites in the temples” (Lives of Eminent Philosophers, 8.1.33).

  Finally, in terms of potential symbolic reasons for the bean ban, Diogenes wrote, “According to Aristotle in his work On the Pythagoreans, Pythagoras counselled abstinence from beans either because they are like the genitals, or because they are like the gates of Hades . . . as being alone unjointed, or because they are injurious, or because they are like the form of the universe, or because they belong to oligarchy, since they are used in election by lot” (Lives of Eminent Philosophers, 8.1.34).

  This is “God Impregnated me” level unhinged, but with lower stakes. I infer he may have farted once with an attractive partner and it scarred him.

  Ugh stupid tangent incoming, did you see the movie Yesterday where a struggling singer/ songwriter crosses into an alternate universe and he’s the only one on the planet who remembers the Beatles? And becomes an overnight sensation from recording Beatles songs that no one’s ever heard before. And then, as conclusive proof of his success, Ed Sheeran playing himself approves of his supposed genius, because I guess Ed sheeran is the songwriting successor to the Beatles.

  It’s already a terrible movie before Ed Sheeran appears, it’s just the most arrogant job a pop star could take. Supposedly Chris Martin turned the role down, I guess because he had some modicum of self awareness. Contrast to Ariana Grande playing a delightfully self deprecating satire of herself in Don’t Look Up, so it is possible to acknowledge one’s own celebrity in a cameo film role without being insufferably self aggrandizing.

  I don’t really have a point beyond Ed Sheeran’s unlikability. His spinelessness and immorality is a separate issue.
