    Helium is one of those things I don’t really care about. I could tell you I never liked balloons because of their impact on the environment, and that would be true, especially with ones getting released into the air. However I also have a really selfish reason, and that was cleaning them up. I never really liked water balloons for the same reasons, and I’m so happy I haven’t been around much confetti.

    I’m trying to think of the meaning you guys are saying, because for me it keeps making think of Computer Based Training, though I think that acronym fell out of use a decade ago.

    Wait, I thought a sec and now I know exactly what it means. Oof ow my balls.

    I think it means the instead that we made up measurements to measure the speed of light, but the God in this meme doesn’t use manmade measurements, so it’s just 1 (like 1c). Since the speed of light is the max theoretical speed of anything in the universe, it makes sense that anything else could be measured in fractions of it.


  • They exist in FL and I’ve climbed trees to get em. I like em when they’re yellow. Delicious coconut water and basically a coconut “jelly” lining. I also lived in the Caribbean my early life (2-7) so had a lot down there too, plus fresh sugarcane, guava, mangoes, and a thing we called a plum but was a small tree fruit that I also loved yellow ripeness. After a quick Google evidently called a June Plum or a hog plum. Used to eat em straight from the tree.



  • I think there might be some anthropomorphism affecting the opinion, and I know a lot of people dislike "raising someone else’s children ", especially unknowingly.

    In humans, this mostly happens to men just due to biology, but I’m sure some women have experienced swapped kids.

    It’s not like those animals are betraying defined social constructs while knowing better, so i agree with you more on this, but that would be my best guess for someone reacting so emotionally to it.

    (Also there’s far worse things to use for the “no god” argument, like cancer and numerous other vicious diseases or syndromes)





  • There’s a podcast called Citation Needed (not the more popular Citations Needed) that is a comedy podcast reading Wikipedia and other short articles on events and subjects.

    While is has no distinct theme, each of the 5 hosts has something they generally pick more. One picks disasters in exploration pretty often, and just listening to that comedy podcast that doesn’t really deep dive still shows how much this post ignores how many of those 1920s people straight up died doing their work.


  • I’m not a massive X-Men fan, but the adamantium skeleton is a misnomer. It coats his actual skeleton, and in one storyline is ripped off of him, and he still has a skeleton and more fragile bone claws.

    He also has basically unlimited regeneration (well, there may be a limit but if there is it’s a ridiculous limit) which would definitely cover the blood thing anyway. Also the problematic park: where does all the energy/mass for his regeneration come from?
