Oh my god

This is...booooring shellac is bug guts and honey is bee puke so what.
I hadn't read that little detail. One of the tender mercies of this amoral universe we live in is that the worst of the worst criminals also tend not to be particularly intelligent, and this is the kind of alibi they tend to come up with. Since we don't really string people up anymore, at least I can take comfort in the fact that this little psychopath is unlikely to breathe the outside air again until he's nearly of an age with his victim.
Hooly crap guys, I just learned that bread rises due to yeast excrement.
Like, literally, the yeast poops this stuff out and fills up the bread dough and that's why it rises.
Just, ick.
I don't know what I'm going to do without my bread!
I don't even know how I've missed this.
I blame CSS for "health" websites looking so nice. We should have kept everything looking like old Geocities sites, but noooooo, we had to go and make all the paranoid crazy look pretty.
but the professor has one of those wonderful combovers which makes it so very obvious that he's bald
mostly because he's combed over the front but there remains a large, friar-like bald patch in the back
Yeah, no kidding. First of all, E.Coli is a bacterium, they don't leave big stinky piles of shit, so I'm not even sure the term "excrement" is even the way to describe their secretions. Secondly, it seems they're trading on the shock value of "OMG E.COLI...weallgonnadie! which bugs the hell out of me because if there's a single organism on this planet that can be called Man's Best Friend, one of the strongest contenders is not our canine acquaintances, but rather our friend the humble Escherichia coli. Up there with fruitflies and the laboratory mouse, in terms of their contribution to modern humankind's triumph over preventable disease and infirmity. Letting the rare virulent strain color our perceptions of the whole species is like dismissing all human beings as uniformly homicidal maniacs on account of some National Socialists.
artificial sweetener is one of the most retardedly demonized substances on earth
it's like the kooky liberal version of what conservatives say about pot
Go ahead, you know you are not impervious to clicking it.
certainly have it from time to time and no part of me thinks it's a worse choice than a can of sugar
why is it people want to believe this shit about stuff that's helpful?
jacob i read on the internet that artificial sweeteners can mess up your metabolism so much that a 12oz can of coke zero is literally worse for your waist line than a chocolate pudding pie the size of your head
it's puritanism
like, literally
it's just that where one side freaks out about how sex will put the bad sin into you, the other is convinced it is food made without the proper ritual obeisances that will do it
but both of them are saying, fundamentally, that doing things that you enjoy will distract you from your true purpose (god, or volunteering for a vegan commune) and lead you to an early grave
/looks at recycling bin full of Dr Pepper 10 empties
/explodes to 800lb
I guess I need to find a decent coke to drink it with?
I can buy that you'd get weird results from setting up the expectation of sugar and then presenting your body with something of the wrong chirality of whatever chemistry goes into making aspartame not turn right into glucose. But the real answer is not to put such ridiculously excessive amounts of goddamned sugar into foods and drinks just because high-fructose corn syrup made it cheap. There's no reason on Earth why a can of soda should have a couple dozen sugar packets worth of the stuff, when ordinary people can muddle through a fairly tasteless cup of tea using less than half a packet, and still record the taste as being "sweet,"
Yes, I know about the Pepsi Challenge and that someone's initial reaction to a soda is more favorable if it's so loaded with sugar that Wilford Brimley is under doctor's orders not to so much as steal a glance at a can of it. But after a few slips, that advantage is lost, and less sugary drinks score higher. Which goes a long way to explaining why Pepsi never dominated in sales despite winning initial taste tests. If people are disgusted with your product long before they reach the end of a 20oz bottle, you're not setting yourself up for success. They're not exactly lining up to buy another.
You deserve it for supporting sexist beverages you pig.
Dr Pepper 10 commercials: because only men have the necessary eye particles to watch video.
Just remember. No capes!
Not necessarily.
Kraken tastes fine by itself.

I have cordura shorts designed not to abrade through if you hit the ground at speed. They're basically jeans made from a properly robust fabric.
Last time I decked it on the road while commuting I slid about four metres on my hip/knee without getting any road rash.
Hey now, women can be Doctors too.

This seems to be the dissenting opinion in the Supreme Chat
wait what
Sounds like this guy schooled you, rhetorician styles and now you are upset
Is Kraken really distilled in R'yleh?
wrongwindow
or
or hear me out
throw it in the trash.
The founders clearly intended for the Kraken to be consumed unadulterated by lesser beverages. The majority strikes down decades of precedent in favor of advancing a dangerously activist agenda that will benefit a few wealthy cola corporations at the expense of true flavor.
Soon they will call for ice cubes in the Glenlivet.
