I got bit by a dragon fly once, and I wasn’t threatening towards it in any way. I just stuck my finger out in the hope that one of the many dragon flies would land on it, and one did, and then the fucker bit me for no reason and flew off

The “Land of the free” has jaywalking laws… They literally aren’t even allowed to cross the street without permission from the state

That’s interesting. I used to work with a chef from Napoli who used soffritto (with celery) in his cooking, but he was originally from Sardinia, so maybe that’s why

Onion, carrot and celery is a standard base in Italian cooking that is the starting point of many dishes.

I mean, I guess they are oval shaped, but it’s a rectangular profile, whereas clippers are an actual cylinder. I’d also forgotten that the gas in bic lighters isn’t even refillable, which is another big mark against them.

My main issue with bic lighters is the fact that you can’t easily change the flint like you can with a clipper, or even a swan, lighter. The rectangle shape is also less sturdy than the circular lighters, and more likely to break if you use them to open beer bottles.

They aren’t talking about it being made to by other movies, they’re saying the movie continues to make money for a long time after it’s first week. To give a famous example: in the 90s the Kevin Costner movie Waterworld was declared to be a massive financial flop based on its first week(s) performance in US cinemas, but once you account for worldwide figures and VHS sales it was actually one of the most profitable movies of the decade.

Sorry, I wasn’t trying to claim that your gut biome doesn’t effect your mood, just that the serotonin in your gut isn’t making it’s easy to the serotonin receptors in your brain that make you feel happy

Any scientific definition of ‘fish’ which includes all the things we commonly consider to be fish also includes basically all animal life on earth (including humans and, presumably, pterodactyls).

Edit: Though generally this is avoided by declaring that ‘fish’ is not an evolutionary category.

The serotonin in your gut can’t pass through the gut-blood barrier, and therefore never reaches your brain, so it has no effect whatsoever on your ability to feel happy.

Unripe bananas are full of serotonin (which breaks down to melotonin as they ripen), but the only effect that has on your body is to give you diarrhoea.

Half of all science involves torturing mice in some way
