Yeah but the article explains why the focused on the barn specifically. It isnt just "be around animals in some way". They were very specifically comparing Amish kids with another group that lives a similar primitive lifestyle. The only real meaningful difference is whether they're in the barn...

Why is it that literaly every photo of bacon cooked by a non-American shows limp, soggy, barely cooked bacon? I don't care much about democracy or even capitalism anymore but we really need to conquer and colonize any country that can't cook bacon properly

Wait that doesnt happen? That was like the only reason to be interested in this movie. Do they connect at all?

Really surprisingly boring given the subject matter and antman. Couldnt stay awake for the end, do they redeem it somehow?

Todays example of "we've found the problem and the easy solution but refuse to consider actually applying it" https://www.zmescience.com/science/news-science/amish-dont-develop-allergies-but-why/ but of course, Of Course, LMFAO. Yeah, a barn, that is just crazy unattainable. Guess we're...

https://www.realclearscience.com/articles/2025/07/21/do_women_really_need_more_sleep_than_men_1123816.html It seems that all sleep "research" starts with the same retarded fallacy. The idea that the amount of sleep you get is the amount of sleep you need. (When do we get to start applying that...

I don't understand this response. All I did was point out other things that this "culture" accepts, and demands we accept. It casts "culturally acceptable" in a different light, but thats not some kind of rhetorical trick. Thats just the truth of the statement hitting you.

Cmon guys, its just OnlyFans, its culturally accepted now Cmon guys, its just a little pegging, its culturally accepted now Cmon guys, its just a they/them pronoun, its culturally accepted now Cmon guys, date a girl thats not white, its culturally accepted now Imagine your decisions being...

Which is not a bad perspective. It is kind of off for a grown man to be drinking some fizzy fruit flavored drink. A lot of Americans have infantilized tastes, and its weird. I have that same reaction every time I hear an adult talk about eating chicken nuggets. Its like do you prefer the ones...

The ending just doesnt even attempt to answer the only interesting question they built up over the seasons. How did they get back to society but no one knows about all the killing and eating? NM, we won't even bother addressing that, heres some interpersonal drama bullshit instead!

The Mandela Effect describes two divergent past timelines. I'm starting to wonder if Sylas doesnt come from a third, where they had a totally different set of movies and cartoons in the 1980s.

What the fuck are you talking about? Superfriends was the major attraction on Saturday Morning Cartoons on the major networks in the early 1980s, when I was watching cartoons as a young kid. I feel like you either beamed in from a parallel dimension or youre basing all of this on like some...

FTFY (PS, Superman has been the best known superhero and the archetype for all other superheroes for our entire lifetime)

This is bizarre. You just have some weird antipathy for superman and are trying to project it on everyone else. OR youre Gen Z or something? Either way, its best not to assume the rest of the world shares you unusual views. Most of us saw those movies repeatedly as kids. Superman has been...

absolutely mind bottling and before somone gets upset about gramar nazi ing, this is exactly what happens when we don't grammar nazi. otherwise literate people start actually saying things like "tow the line"

It generally works best if its hand washed for about 5 to 10 minutes, seems like a shame they left that part out

Aside from divorces with shared kids, etc., there is just nothing good to be gained from staying in touch with exes. I'm skeptical its ever done innocently. "You used to suck my dick but I'm totally not thinking about that right now we're just chatting and being friends". uh huh. sure. 8...

Thats where GRRM got addicted to sniffing his own farts about "subverting expectations". Obviously the whole series was leading to an epic showdown between Jon Snow and the Night King, so GRRM had to do something different and subversive. It really would have fixed a lot to just go ahead and do...

Nope, thanks! Looked it up. Arent they still bolted on? Are these floating houses dragging around big chunks of concrete? Again, I'm not arguing, just trying to imagine how a house goes from attached to its foundation to floating intact down the river

I thought that was code everywhere. Note, I'm not saying ytou're wrong, just that I'm surprised. So what, the frame is just like sitting on a gravel base or something?

Wild. We keep seeing videos of whole houses floating downstream. Every time it blows my mind. How is it that the nails hold the frame together better than the big ass bolts hold it onto the foundation? I'm not saying its fake or proposing some conspiracy theory or something, just saying...

Just look on the bright side. When an adaptation is announced there is always the question, will it suck? When they release casting like that it answers the question without wasting a single second watching it. I just file it away like The Dark Tower: a book someone should have adapted to...

Absolutely. I'm not a big advocate for rules like this, but if we're already requiring companies to list all that shit on the label, the portion size needs to be realistic. Your muffin example is a good one, but really if you pick up almost any package thats obviously a single serving, it'll...

I think you make some reasonable points. Certainly exercise is healthy for a lot of reasons, and fat fucks should absolutely be encouraged to exercise. We should just be clear that its not whats causing the weight loss, which is specifically and directly caused by the amount of food shoveled...

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/your-brain-on-food/202507/i-keep-exercising-but-im-not-losing-weight Good article does a nice job of summarizing the data we've known for a while

You wouldnt need the third if the medical establishment hadnt cut off part of your penis

I know lots of people who consider it perfectly normal to just drop by the store literally every day to pick up food for dinner or whatever. We can debate the cost benefit tradeoffs of adequate prep for real SHTF scenarios of months or years, but a hell of a lot of people are literally not...

For what its worth my kids did too, on that particular question. But I did discover that one of them had a whole row or two of the table they hadnt memorized My comment was based more on my experience with college freshmen

You don't seem to get my point. Youre acknowledging that most advances are accomplished by a small fraction of the population. But you're still trying to use those advances as "evidence" that the population isnt getting dumber. Whats 7x9?

Thats an interesting argument. What fraction is humanity is contributing to those advances? You don't think its possible for a tiny number of people to make advances while the rest of humanity gets rapidly dumber? If not, why not? Also, have you interacted with any people in the last 20 years?

Absolutely. Same here. Now think about how many times over the course of your life you've done math in your head, using that ability. Uncountable numbers of times. Now imagine a life lived without that ability. Imagine that adding up, over the course of a lifetime. All the errors, all the "I...

I swear some of you are just determined to learn the exactly wrong lessons on this subject. The people who said we'd become stupider when calculators replaced memorizing multiplication tables were exactly right. Ask a random kid today, whats 7x9. Yes. We are becoming stupider at each step...

https://gizmodo.com/study-says-u-s-babies-are-missing-a-key-gut-microbe-fueling-allergy-risk-2000619622On today's episode of "Why are modern humans fucked up?", Their discussion of root causes was pretty lame though We've replaced natural childbirth with elective cesarean sections, and...

I dunno man I'm on board with about 99.99% of fat shaming, but a professional chef putting on a few extra pounds doesnt seem like the worst thing in the world to me

Its shitposting day so I'm not getting worked up about this, but this comment often gets intended in a serious way and it misses the point. Sure, you could argue "Mary" is a made up name too. In theory there was a time far back in the past when someone first named their daughter "Mary". In the...

You misspelled Zendeya But its ok, who can know how to spell a fucked up made up name? I probably misspelled it too

I'm not joking at all. Society is enthusiastically running as fast as it can toward a huge fucking cliff. When I point this out, people tell me get out of the way old man. On second though, I guess pointing out something so funny does count as a joke, even if I didnt mean it as one originally.

Just wait til the next big jump. Your cell phone analogy is perfect. The internet was basically fine until they put it in everybodys pocket. Portable AI powered apps are going to do something similar for the destructive potential of AI. I see a future where the majority of human activity and...

He actually defended doing it too. This is a vision of the very near future. Where everybody just fakes everything with AI generated slop. And then they sincerely try to defend it, saying "yeah but I suck at writing so its ok" Within the next 2 to 3 years there will be wearable glasses with...

Putting aside whether you believe in any religion, I don't think thats a fair summary of their behavior or motivation. Having enough kids to put the population well above replacement levels is what happens naturally if you just fuck and don't interfere with the process. And its generally...
