Seems like it increases cancer risk, but it's the cheapest way we have to sanitize water so

I'm putting the water in glass containers, so no need to worry about it leeching materials. Also, I am positive I get all the micronutrients (the paper your cited refers to magnesium and iron) I need from vegetables, without needing to resort to tap water that contains high levels of microplastics. I also brush my teeth with floride, so no need to worry about dental caries.

Bidet attachment for a toilet. You can get them cheap, or spend a bit more for heated seats, warmed water, fans for drying, etc. Best bathroom decision ever.

Countertop electric water distiller. For a reasonable price you can get a countertop water distiller that runs a gallon for like $0.15. No more microplastics, chlorine, ammonia, lead, or facial matter in your drinking water! Tastes SO GOOD, nothing like the plastic filled distilled water from the store, blech. Every time we make a batch, we'll smell the sticky residue left in the heating chamber and gag. It is nasty stuff. In our tap water, gross. Clean water for me please! Makes our coffee, tea, and kumbucha taste a lot better too.

Getting into a healthy BMI and daily exercise is pretty epic too. You'll just feel better every day.

As climate change gets worse, having resilience like stored food and water will be helpful to deal with more frequent natural disasters. No sense bothering with fancy meal packets, a couple dozen big cans of dried beans will go a long way if there's a shelter in place order.

Yeah it's cracked me up. I'm happy they are happy, but yeah pretty niche

Good bot

Makes me think of this amazing recent SNL skit

SNL - Waffle House

Well we were trying to keep it classy /s

I don't get it, help a poor history illiterate out

A real Chad move

Sure I'd follow

This is why I love Fate Core and Cortex Prime. So many great games out there

Uh bro, let me share a timeless truth discovered in blood, mud, trenches, and tears by so many of our ancestors.

"War is hell"

It's not a pithy cute saying made up so badass video game characters have something cool to say before cutting down the faceless baddies. It's the man huddled in the corner weeping after the hundredth night unable to sleep from the sounds of explosions and shrieks of the dying all around.

What makes you think it's "not possible"? Do you think the war police are stepping in to make sure only combatants are getting hurt? Calling a foul and time out when a grenade gets tossed into a house that starts a fire that burns down a city block? Do you know how easy it is to accidentally kill a human being, much less a child? Imagine that COD game but only 10% of the people running around are combatants. It's not big empty buildings, it's people's houses with people living in them. Those rockets, bombs, grenades, and automatic guns don't magically avoid civilians.

I'm so here for this story. What happens when they get to the camp?! Do they get a tasty fly soup?

Also I don't like how they indicated his thighs, it's somehow both testicular and vulvic

Schrodinger's groin

I find it deeply unsettling

From 2013 to 2017 I lost 60 pounds and I've kept it off since.

I tried everything to lose that fat.

I've tried at different times: keto, calorie counting, intermittent fasting, low fat, low carb, Soylent, cutting alcohol, high fiber, if it fits your macros, power lifting, CrossFit, running, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, and Renaissance periodization.

What's actually worked consistently for losing and keeping it off? Simple. Intermittent fasting 20/4 with low carb during the week, free cheat weekends, and no alcohol ever. With that protocol I can control my weight to the pound, consistently, and I've held it there for over 5 years.

It's such a great feeling to be totally in control of it.

That's the creepiest face on an animal since the wolf monster in Neverending Story

I wish I had a cozy fireplace!

Well say thanks to the government in 2020 that printed half of all dollars in existence today. Small government my ass

Fried Chicken Sizzle

The book "Fall, or Dodge in Hell" has this as a key subplot that people just follow hallucinating meme generating AI feeds untill they are totally brainwashed into doing whatever it hallucinates they should do next
