- Comment on As an American, I'm offended at AliExpress' portrayal of my people. 11 hours ago:
In the US, the average weight for men is around 199 pounds (90 kg), and for women, it’s around 171 pounds (77 kg). In India, the average weight for men is around 145 pounds (65 kg), and for women, it’s around 121 pounds (55 kg). That being said Americans are on average 2.5cm taller. Average BMI is 26.5 in the US and 23 in India.
So twice the size? Not really. This picture is amusing though.

Haven’t noticed anyone say anything about this yet but cuttlefish bones are flat thin discs. They sell them in pet stores as a calcium supplement.
Not a comfortable phallus if used in that way.

The term carnism was coined by social psychologist and author Melanie Joy in 2001
I have been hearing this term used to demean meat eaters since the late 80s. I guess they were all misinformed too.

It feels like user wasn’t talking about specifically people on the carnivore diet. It came off as a slur against people on the most common diet on earth.

If you are describing omnivores as “carnies” then that would be a slur since most people consider people on the carnivore diet to be unhinged or misinformed.
Slurs exist to denigrate and diminish ones character.
Without argument, more vegetarians will help the world, but I don’t think name calling wins hearts and minds.

I reckon brown shirts became less popular in the late 40s. Maybe we wait until 2028 to stop wearing red caps.

This comment is a breath of fresh air in this doomer echo chamber. Somewhere along the line people stopped wanting to fix things and now the people we need to save this country are leaving in droves. We need to remain positive and organized.

Bulletproof coffee works well to clean you out and if you are on the Keto diet it’s a decent pick.

My brother bought a shirt that simply says “Crab Rangoon” in the front the band Slayer uses. That’s the correct way to share your autism in shirt format.

The cruelty improves the flavor. We should start waterboarding our vegetables to clean the manure off and give them that inhumane zing.

- Comment on Wheres Waldo, for the educated 5 months ago:
Apparently it took heavy inspiration from the book Where’s Wallace? by Hilary Knight, so we can all be wrong. Wallace was a red headed orangutan so IMO a much better search and find reward than that sneaky fuck Waldo/Wally.

In all likelihood you will be too busy with the flooding, the heatwave, or the tornados.
People forget climate change is going to affect nearly every corner of society. There will be very little safe haven and overcrowding in those spared the most.

This is much better but your previous comment was awful. It read like a LLM alone wrote it.
That being said I can’t tell you why specifically it reads like that. I’m forwarding it to my friend who is a English professor to find out. If English is your second language then just keep at it and please don’t take the criticism here personally.
