The meme clearly implies this is a regular dinner for this imaginary person. The lack of veggies and overconsumption of sugar is exactly what is being memed about

Personally I really like jungletrain.net

I like to listen to internet radio. There are plenty of stations for different genres

- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 3 weeks ago:
I’m German and went to the US for a year as a high school student.
My US history teacher literally told us that the US is the world police. Because of that I believe that many Americans think that way.

Sure, you might be fine. Statistically there is a difference, though.

Its not a total scam, I know some couples who met on dating apps. However, be aware that as a man your choice is limited. There are about 10 men for every woman on dating apps.
It can work, but honestly I think its easier to get to know people when I’m out and about. This depends on how outgoing you are, though, of course.

The only reason they don’t have a lower amount of mandatory paid vacation is because it is impossible to go below 0.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely agree. It ia horrible how our governments allow corporations to use that backdoor to extract as much shareholder value from us as possible
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 4 weeks ago:
Honestly not sure where to start with this one.
I’m sure the blanket statement of needing to drink 2 liters of water is misleading in plenty of situations but I really don’t think this is what we should be focusing on. This is the last thing from the food industry that I’d consider propaganda. Not to mention that it’s really not a bad recommendation, and a 50 year old book 2 people wrote (no matter their qualification) isn’t really a solid foundation for an argument like this.
Of course water intake is highly individual. Athletes may drink 10+ liters per day, but most people are probably fine with just drinking when they’re thirsty.
I don’t think anyone is saying that 2 liters are necessary for survival. You can get away with much less. The thing is, it’s easy to drink more than enough, it has many benefits, and there isn’t really much of a downside to it. The 2 liters are a rule of thumb, not an exact required amount for everyone.
Regarding the beer, we know nowadays there is no amount of alcohol that is healthy. Sure, beer might be able to hydrate you when enjoyed in moderation, but it’s plain counterproductive when recommended as a healthy diet.

Hmm, interesting point. Thanks for sharing.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 4 weeks ago:
Basically they’re people who got caught in the food industries propaganda.
They might consciously know they need regular water, but their body is now craving sugar with every sip. If it’s missing, it feels wrong.
Sugar needs to be much more regulated, especially for kids… Adults may be responsible enough to handle it but without regulation the industry will run wild and make everyone addicted.

I mean planned obsolescence is absolutely a thing, but
modern [microwaves] are prone to catch on fire
is a wild take that you better support with some kind of proof. Otherwise it just makes the rest of your (IMO valid) argument look bad.

I don’t really have any experience with situations like this, but I’d be cautious of suggesting such things. Worst case they don’t do anything, and something happens to the neighbor and suddenly you have a lot of trouble waiting for you.
I know here in Germany you can create a log of all the occurrences of your neighbor being loud, end if it is excessive a court can order your neighbor to be silent. If your neighbor then breaks the order, the police will actually do something. Not sure how things work in the UK tho
- Comment on Is it possible to basically not snore at all? 5 weeks ago:
From what I gather after a quick web search it seems about 40% of the population does not snore, so I guess it is pretty common.

French and Italian will come relatively easy for you, the others are quite different. Personally I’d go with Arabic, but that’s just because there are many Arabic speaking people at my job.

All currently existing Klein bottles.
It seems obvious but I feel like specifying is necessary when talking about abstract things like 4d shapes.

- Comment on unnecessary expense 2 months ago:
The problem is that anyone has a net worth that high to begin with. Nobody is able to work that much harder than a regular worker.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 2 months ago:
I think its quite a different thing for someone who has a net worth in the millions. It’s not the same at all for someone living paycheck to paycheck.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 2 months ago:
I really don’t see how that makes much of a difference. The CEOs can just leave if the board doesn’t pay them what they want. And since the boards want them specifically as CEOs, they end up paying what the CEOs are asking for. So the CEOs are paying themselves with some extra steps. Or am I missing something?

The delta P you’re talking about has much much higher ambient pressure than what is the case here.
And even underwater there is a limit to delta P.
