  • Quality Control is what you’re paying for…

    For pretty much any type of product where quality shouldn’t matter you can buy cheap, normal, expensive, insane.

    100/1000 of cheap ones might have sleight flaws.

    10/1000 normal may have flaws.

    1/1000 expensive

    And 1/100,000 for the insanely expensive ones may have a flaw.

    So even if their optimal performanceshould be the same, the more expensive it is, the less likely the manufacturer lets subpar products out to market. Often it’s vertically integrated and as batches fail they get bumped down to a different label

    Do the test again, they might score the same. But do it enough, and you’ll see the expensive ones eventually pull out ahead by a very sleight amount










  • some free space that increases aerodynamic of athlete

    2-3 extra centimeters means double digit meters in jump distance…

    Like, it’s not like they need to double song size to see an advantage. So it’s probably not even all injects, even “pumping” would give a huge advantage.

    It specs to how the equipment they use is responsible for a lot of the performance. They should make them do it in blue jeans and hoodies, get some realistic distances

    Pre-emptive edit:

    Jincos = gold

    Just like God always meant it to be.





  • they poop and don’t need anyone to clean them.

    Let a baby walk around naked shitting anywhere and it would be just as “clean”

    They don’t scream when a predator is around because they understand what can happen.

    The trade off for those early vocalizations is speech…

    It’s worth it.

    They run from predators.

    Their babies don’t, because babies of any species can’t outrun predators…

    Like, what the actual fuck is even your point?

    None of what you’re saying is even true and there’s a million better ways to promote veganism than this nonsense



  • The cautionary stories came about with the era of bored housewives who drank heavily and took pretty heavy prescription drugs…

    But they were also wealthy so rather than say OD or suicide they “fell asleep” in the bath.

    And I’m sure more than a few murders got wrote off as the same thing. A housewife that habitually passes out deeply could just got tossed in the tub.

    Because like you said, no sober person is staying asleep till they drown.

    But people hear the cover story and believe it, so they warn people about something that just won’t happen

    Essentially the story is angels were god’s original creations. Perfect beings built to serve.

    But that was boring so god created humans and withheld knowledge from them, and commanded angels to serve at human’s beck and call, even tho the humans were complete idiots who lived a life of luxury free of any worry.

    Lucifer was basically Prometheus and “tricked” humans into learning stuff.

    Then God threw Lucifer, the humans, and a couple other angels out of paradise because humans weren’t dumb pets anymore.

    And somehow that makes God the good guy in the story.

    Personally it always seemed like God was a dick and Lucifer had our backs, but that’s why I didn’t have to keep going to CCD as a kid



  • Nothing is binary

    I took a bio psych class that got into neurotransmitters and shit, the professor started almost every class with:

    “Normal” is just the average, if anyone was exactly “normal” they’d be the weirdest most unique human ever

    Because a lot of people get freaked out about their own when they start learning about psychology or genetics, smacking them together and teaching 20 somethings is a recipe for existential crisis.

    Your brain is sorting people into binary groups because that’s an easy shortcut our brain uses for everything. But what’s normal at the gathering of the juggalos is weird almost everywhere else. It’s all subjective and there’s a lot more ways than one to be normal.

    Maybe someone is 99.9999% “normal” but they peel hard boiled eggs with their teeth like a psychopath. You’d never know till you saw them do it, but it would instantly recategorize them in your head as “weird” without a second thought.

    But everyone knows they’re actually a unique snowflake, so it’s common for people to feel like they don’t belong to just one group. When it’s that everyone has that level of uniqueness, it’s just too much for our brains to keep track of, so we throw labels on people and treat them as groups.
