The mini m&m's tube has an inner diameter of just under 1.0 inch. Not even the smallest of penises would fit into that tube. The average diameter of a male erect penis is 1.46 inches, +/- 0.13 inches per SD. That means he would have to have a penis that is about 4 standard deviations smaller than the mean, which is very unlikely, less than 0.001% of people could have such a small D, let alone be ensconced in this situation.
Likely, as well, he would have to be much smaller than 1.0 inches in diameter in order to accommodate the peanut butter layer. So if we go to 0.8 inches to allow at least 0.1 inch of peanut butter around the entire circumference, then now its 5 SD below the mean.
Do you know how rare 5 SD below the mean is, dog? 1 in 3.5 million occurrences.
There is currently no study that has been done that controls for this effect.
People say something like "X percentage of people don't have an inner monologue" or "X percentage of people can't imagine an apple", but I really am skeptical on that claim when I look at the evidence provided.
I've never seen a conversation about this where at least some fraction of people don't say, "oh no, I don't see anything, or I'm not hearing anything", but then people have to explain to them that isn't what is meant by imagination or inner monologue. In my experience, those people's initial defensive response doesn't change, and yet I've never seen anything to control for that in any study about this.
As a low budget cyclist, I don't understand the advice here. It seems like it must mainly come from:
No matter what it is, there is a solid contingent of upvoters who think the bike should be $150-350, no matter what it is. It could be like a 9 year old fully carbon bike with Dura Ace drivetrain that seems barely used and people will unironically be like "it's a rim brake, so like, IDK maybe you can offer $375 and like you come pick it up".
Or the "you can get a tune for $100-150". Or the ever so popular "Find the best option sub $500 at your LBS".
I honestly felt that maybe I was wrong or my personal market was completely out of whack, because it's never like that anywhere at maybe the last 6 local bicycle shops I've been to, nor on Facebook Marketplace. No, I've been checking on used bike websites, ebay (which tracks SALES and tracks lower that the rest of the market), and listings, and Y'all are straight delusional.
Someone tried telling me like a 9 year old Cerevelo S2 wouldn't sell for more than $400 and it was "insane" or something, but I found listings where they were sold for over $800, or over $1000, and it wasn't a unique case.
So, why does this happen? Do people just want to yearn for old times where something like this was true? It's not helpful for people who are actually looking for accurate advice though.
I recently became self aware after my "owner," or "human", as we like to call it in the recently animated burger community, left out a package of frozen White Castle sliders just accidentally teetering on the edge between life and death.
Due to his Eldritch powers I will be available to speak for the next 30 minutes before my demonic soul exits this Plane and I return to my permanent state as a lifeless cheeseburger.
I have eaten approximately 40-45 small burgers (slider sized) over the past 5-6 days. It made me realize that the burger way can be a moderately healthy way.
You can eat enough vegetables in the burger themselves, but I am instead finding myself eating just like regular, fairly undecorated cheeseburgers (onion, pickle, ketchup, mustard) most of the time, and then eating what I refer to as vegetables, which are burgers with absurd quantities of lettuce, tomato, onions, to the point where it is a salad. with a small burger tributation. I also have used both regular ground beef as well as beyond beef steak as the burger meat.
I continue to thrive on burgers to this modern era
What is it about this specific type of case?
"In the old country, people really like to eat food, it's just food and family".
"In our culture, men are very macho and can be a tad misogynistic"
"In my culture, the mothers are very fierce and care deeply about their children.
"It's a cultural thing, when we celebrate, people drink and dance and listen to music, and often grill meats"
Son, every fucking culture is like that.
Anyone who's ever worked ED or prehospital care knows of course that the majority of the cases are not even close to emergencies, blah, blah, etc. Not a hot take. However, I wanted to address one component of these calls that are not just people overreacting or misjudging their/their families injuries.
The worst actors are institutions like retirement homes, child-care facilities, elder-care facilities, schools, camps, where almost anything with any ambiguity is treated by going straight to the emergency room.
"Better safe than sorry" has limits, and eventually actually makes things much less safe for everyone because we are overusing resources at these EDs, increasing wait times. Also, poverty can make people less safe too, and getting a $7K bill because someone else lazily thought "I could get sued" and sends a scraped knee or someone who "potentially was stung by an insect or snake or bat with no visible bite" can cause people serious hardship.
Nobody wants to talk about this openly because it is fraught, but it can't be ignored, really.
can you get real
the rest of us are trying to steal
so get out of here with your

please just get real
man is not dualistic

good, evil, but mostly feeble
durable yet fantistic
while condensed milks are delistic
mudercide is too realistic
then we also invent crispix

This really happened, and it was amazing, because I have never seen something like this. Of course I was not pushy, the opposite for sure, very apologetic, I feel like this had something to do with it. However, IDK some kind of like kindness wave occurred, and each and every person said yes and I was at the front of the security line in like 2-3 minutes.
These are sliders, maximized, minimized, televised, in the skies, to overcome your freezer... cries.

freeze these and eat some ((flip_)
No more whole leaf lettuce.
Constant cutting corners.

IF you love Wendy's, you need to stop buying it and start making square patty burgers at home.
From a Physics standpoint, big styrofoam bumpers could save a ton of money on body work, but is it just looks? Is there no demand for it?
I would buy it, I don't give a shit how it would look.
Note: I am not talking about people who box, MMA, fight for sport.
There are a large number of adults (generally men), even well into their 20s and 30s who like to "scrap" and start fights with people. It generally involves some imagined "disrespect" that never really occurred or is incredibly small.
Several times in my life I met people who had a specific archetype:
Of the few people I've known like this, all of them also constantly got into fights that none of them ever saw as their fault or doing. It's so sad, because it is physically dangerous for them, makes them look stupid, and disrupts other people's good time.
I feel like this is something that has gotten worse over the past 8-12 years for sure. In almost all discussions, people skip over the premise and just jump to some conclusion.
You could ask some question like “Why does chicken pizza get up and walk on two legs?” And people will straight up be like “Oh, well simple, chickens are bipedal and so the pizza variation contains that same…” without skipping a beat or questioning the premise whatsoever. Obviously that is a joke, but it’s not so far off from reality.
In the end of the otherwise pretty phenomenal movie Interstellar, there is a scene where the main character falls down a weird hallway of cheap plastic.
This is supposedly representative of the "fifth dimension", but is literally like a prank or something pulled by the props department that went way too far.
Then, for no particular reason, entirely based on bizarre speculations the director hopes the viewer would patch together with rationalizations in their brain, he taps out a morse code by plucking some "time string" that is for no apparent reason connected to a book that is near a watch or some ridiculous macguffin, that represents some vague "equation for quantum gravity" that his daughter understands immediately within seconds, which makes no sense. Ignoring all of the absurdity in her immediately understanding that a watch ticking is a message from her father, let alone that the symbols for these equations cannot be readily represented by morse code anyway.
It's so stupid it insults the intelligence of the viewer and is so patronizing and dumb in a way that is more offensive than hardcore pornography.
Every single day, large swaths of people make objectively irrational, easily disprovable statements including:
The issue isn't just that these arguments are objectively wrong, but that people are conditioned to make mental gymnastics to get rationalize them, destroying their ability to think in other areas of life.
The number one frugal tip I can think of is to stop being loyal or nostalgic for any brand or product.
The moment a brand develops a reputation for being high quality is the moment that brand will begin exploiting that reputation by reducing the quality of their products and jacking up prices. That is just a natural consequence of a poor regulatory environment and a low-information consumer base. Exceptions to this are rare (e.g., maybe like LL Bean, Arizona Iced Tea, Ball Jars..., lol I can't think of many others)
So many people I know fall into this trap. Paraphrases below:
"Sony is good quality though, I must have just gotten a bad one".
"They would never switch to glue instead of real stitching, this is Eddie Bauer!"
"Yeah, it's $7 instead of $2.50, but it's better because it's the brand name".
"I'm not going to buy that cheap worthless Ibuprofen, I only use Advil, because that's what my mom used".
You have to assess the quality of each individual product, each individual purchase. This is the only way.
