Real question is which came first, BBQ chicken or the Eggs Benedict?
- Comment on Chicken vs Egg 1 day ago:
I don’t like this because it’s not addressing the actual saying. Obviously the saying is about chicken eggs specifically.
But I’ve always felt obviously the egg came first. The first chicken was born in an egg, so the egg came first. That egg could have been produced from a creature with a mutation which caused it to produce the first chicken egg when it is not itself the exact same species.

Seems to be making the point that it would be kind of dumb to spread across the solar system just making the other planets just as messed up as what we are currently doing on Earth.

The most interesting part is…what constitutes “him”? What if he became a prince by having his DNA from his father replaced?

It was blocked by frost so uhh does sound like that second thing.
- Comment on Soup 1 week ago:
A couple days ago my milk was all chunky when I tried to pour it in my cereal, because refrigerated air that was supposed to go to the fridge got blocked.
Milk wasn’t expired, just went bad due to a random mechanical issue over the course of the length of time the milk was being preserved.
Anyway, what’s all this about cryogenics?
- Comment on Anon lives with their parents 2 weeks ago:
Well and the OP implies he paid for the house in cash, vs just the down-payment, which could be as low as $37.5k for a $750k house. That’s a lot of money but across 2 years that’s $1600/mo, basically exactly what you’d expect to save on rent.

There are two main lineages of head lice that split up right around when humans left Africa. Theory I heard is that one probably came from Neanderthals and went back to humans as the two groups…met up.
- Comment on Am I the only one who's "shorts" feed is all basically softcore porn? 5 weeks ago:
Youtube Shorts hasn’t done this for me (I actually follow some creators that make shorts so it’s usually them) but Facebook’s version is infuriatingly just like this and also I can’t get rid of them. Every time I see one I go to the dots and select “don’t see any more of these” but they just keep showing up and it’s always some girl doing a yoga pose in a bikini, camera decidedly pointed directly at her vagina.

I mean people didn’t entirely stop using them but those seem like 90’s terms to me.

Sounds like you got pwned, noob.

It started off with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 month ago:
The US tried to ban it and it just led to gangs becoming super powerful because they sold people illegal alcohol.
So it’s not really a policy choice like “this is safe enough, this is not safe enough” it’s legal because making it illegal doesn’t work.

What’s concerning is figuring out the evolutionary advantage of being able to hide from predators who have eyes 1000x more sensitive to light than anything on Earth…

But like, you and I didn’t buy those TVs. If people who needed TVs used the checks for that, great. Everyone else used it for car payments or food or whatever they needed.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
That only works if literally every landlord is conspiring together. If they’re not, then people will flock to the landlords that don’t increase the price, or only increase a little. Meanwhile, you think car salesmen will see an extra $1000/mo and not try to take advantage? Why do you think landlords will successfully take all $1000 and nobody else will get a penny?
Everyone will try to get that $1000/mo, but they will have to compete with each other and the people with the money are rational actors who will pick the best use for their funds.
Meanwhile, the question of whether it’s inflationary will depend on where the money comes from. If it’s matched by a tax that pulls money out of the system at the same time the UBI puts money in, then it won’t be inflationary it will just redistribute wealth from the taxed (in every plan I’ve seen, the wealthy) to everyone else.

But it disputes the implication that the dissolution of the USSR was the cause of the problem.

If you ever see me in a sincere political hat, feel free to strike me down. It’s just so weird.
Wear a cowboy hat if you want people to assume you’re conservative.
- Comment on Public trust 2 months ago:
The problem is only when expertise is unduly dismissed. If there’s no consensus you listen to the differing ideas and you can determine what sounds right to you while acknowledging your lower level of confidence by being extra cautious until there’s more information available.
Sure, people yelling on the internet is annoying and bad, but that’s regardless of the argument they’re pushing. It doesn’t say anything about the quality of the evidence if one side is more annoying.
- Comment on Public trust 2 months ago:
The thesis is that you should listen to experts when you don’t know what you’re talking about. No one is saying experts are never wrong, but they’re more likely to be right than just some guy. There’s a whole lot of ‘just some guys’ who claim to appreciate science until it tells them something they don’t want to hear. That’s what the meme is against.

They might own the building. They definitely have at least a 10 year lease, that’s standard for commercial lease agreements.
