  • The main substance that burns but doesn't necessarily get metabolized is dietary fiber, which is a category of some different polysaccharides that burn but don't get (fully) digested.

    So high fiber foods would tend to give incorrect results in bomb calorimetry.

  • It is impossible to get to 47 followers without making enemies. Thus, everyone with 47 followers has made enemies. Put another way, if you haven't made enemies, you haven't done the bare minimum required to eventually get 47 followers.

  • No, but by referencing their childhoods I'm covering their parents and grandparents, too, while avoiding the complications of the discussing food culture during the total war posture of World War II. Of every generation still alive today, each generation generally knows more about food than their parents.

  • People who die at 60 tend not to have very enjoyable 50's.

    I want to live a high quality life at least to 75, if not 80, and I'm guessing that will make it much more likely that I end up living to 90 or 100.

  • Game over

    Jump

  • What are you talking about? Every generation in the US knows more about food than the ones before.

    Boomers were raised on canned/frozen nonsense and basically had no variety. Their vegetables were underseasoned and overcooked. Their pickiness about cuts of meat left many delicious parts of the animals underappreciated scraps. They knew each fruit as basically one cultivar, like how all apples were the utterly mediocre red delicious. Even their bread was boring.

    Their restaurant scene was pathetic, with Italian American food representing the pinnacle of exotic cuisine. Any immigrant opening a restaurant for American diners would have to carefully water down their traditions to fit American tastes and the American supply chain.

    No thank you, I'd never travel back in time to eat or cook the way people did 50 years ago. Food is better now, and it's largely because today's cooks and diners know way more about food than people did back then.

  • I honestly think he's kind of a child or childish.

    Becoming rich and famous at a young age is probably terrible for one's development.

    He became a successful recording artist at 18, became a TV star at 22, and had a wildly successful run in both music and acting throughout his entire 20's and early 30's.

    He never had a normal life, and it probably baked in a lot of things that one would normally outgrow by the age of 25 or 30.

  • YOGHURT ISN'T CAKE

    Jump

  • Well I could go on all day about this, but I think the vast majority of people overestimate how much protein (in the strict definition of the macronutrient made out of amino acids) is in meat products and underestimates how much protein is in plant products, especially grain products.

    For example, the typical hot dog on a bun has nearly half the protein from the bun itself. Typical bun is 5g of protein, and typical hot dog itself is 6g of protein.

    Same with things like deli sandwiches where the two slices of bread provide a substantial amount of protein and the cured meat and cheese in between is sometimes not substantial enough to really add a lot of protein.

    Peanut butter sandwiches are a staple in my home and just regular bread and regular peanut butter makes a snack with 17g protein (more than 2 eggs).

    To whatever extent processed food is substituting in protein, they might actually be reducing carbs and fat in a way that makes people consume fewer calories overall.

    And frankly, some of the labels are just outright misleading about how much protein is in them. High protein pop tarts have as much protein as plain slices of bread (5g each).

  • YOGHURT ISN'T CAKE

    Jump

  • People in the US (at least) already consume far more protein than required.

    I don't think it's that far above the recommended minimums. CDC data shows that Americans get about 15-16% of their calories from protein, and on a 2500 calorie diet that might mean 100g of protein per day.

    There research that there is some benefit up to about twice the recommended minimum before excess protein starts to cause cardiovascular or kidney issues, depending on activity levels.

    So for that 90kg person on a 2500 calorie diet, with the American average of 16% of calories from protein, we're talking about 100g of protein per day. Basically in the middle between the recommended minimum (0.8g per kg of body weight or 72g for our 90kg person) and the upper limits of optimum amounts for the very active (1.5g per kg, or 135g for a 90g person).

    The protein fad is annoying, but it's probably one of the less harmful issues facing public health in the United States today.

  • Do you think "coconut water" is corporate propaganda and it should be called "coconut juice"?

  • The meaning of life?

    Jump

  • Yes, there's that, too.

    But even if you don't like your job and don't find much meaning out of it, it's still worth trying to find contentment and happiness in other parts of your life.

    I've had jobs I hated with coworkers I loved. I've had jobs I've liked in places I hated. I've had jobs I mostly hated that I actually appreciate having taught me important skills I still use today (for example, a 3-year stint in restaurants in my 20's was miserable in a lot of ways, but it helped me stretch a tight grocery budget and fed me plenty of staff meals, and 20+ years later I'm still a great cook).

    Jobs don't define us. For many people, they're just a small part of us. And we should go on to build fulfilling lives for ourselves across many domains, not just at work.

    I had fun in college. My major didn't define my actual day to day, or my memories of that time. I had fun in high school. I had fun in elementary school too. I don't remember everything or even everyone, but I know I had a blast at those stages in my life, and most of the fun was had outside of school.

    Work is the same way.

  • You should be having fun during the 20 years that you're studying. And you should be having fun during the 40 years that you're working.

  • Artist

    Jump

  • If you remove the art from the context, would it still mean the same to you?

    Kinda depends on the artwork, right?

    When you know that a Eric Clapton wrote "Tears in Heaven" for his dead 4-year-old son, it does hit different.

    Picasso's Guernica also carries a lot of meaning from its context, in its anti-war message. The symbolism in the painting itself can be debated, but the context of time and place (and the author's chosen title) clearly conveys a message that war is horrible and that the specific bombing campaign on Guernica was cruel.

    Filmmakers love long one-shot scenes not just because of the content itself, but also because of the technical feats required to actually make it.

    The context can add quite a bit of meaning to art. It doesn't always, and often isn't intended to, but for a lot of artwork stripping away the context actually strips away some of the artistic value.

    Jump

  • I feel like a lot of people miss the meaning of this one.

    A gunshot wound that creates a splatter of red liquid is very, very different in meaning from a splatter of ketchup. The comic is criticizing the type of person who criticizes art only based on the superficial similarity rather than the actual context and meaning represented by the artist's choices.

    Not every artistic choice has intrinsic meaning, and plenty of artists and art critics go too far in focusing on the "how" than the "what" in art, but I still think the "how" matters a lot.

  • “Glide Ratio Optimization in the Olympic Ski Jump via Cosmetic Penis Enlargement”

    Jump

  • Sure, it's possible, but the margin of error is pretty narrow for making up for unexpected turbulent wind or slight imperfections in how the person exits the aircraft.

    In a normal ski jump, even though they can move more than 250m through the air, they're never more than 6m above the ground at any given point.

    So jumping out of an airplane would require a level of precision that probably couldn't be safely achieved.
