  • I kinda agree. Sure there’s observable/measurable phenomena out there, but past a certain point it’s like a toddler asking why? You just have to say "because that’s the way it is:

    Why did that apple hit me in the head? Because of gravity

    Why does gravity make things fall? Objects of larger mass attract objects of smaller mass

    Why do they do that? Well the more massive something is the more it warps space around it

    Why do massive objects warp space around them? Well there’s some theories that certain sub-atomic particles interact in a way that causes these forces

    Why do those particles do that? Well that’s just what they do

    (yes, I know these are overly simplified)

    Eventually you reach our furthest level of understanding and we just have to say “that’s just what we have observed happening, we don’t have a root cause or explanation yet.” That bottom level is basically magic in our universe until we learn more about it








  • This guide is so bad that I might actually call it harmful

    1. Bee and mosquito bites manifest pretty differently across people, but I can forgive that

    2. Spider bites vary wildly depending on species and depending on your location you should know if venomous spiders are in your area and how deadly they are

    3. That is not what tick bites look like, that’s what Lyme disease looks like. If you see that you should be concerned because you likely have a lifelong affliction. Also, identifying tick bites is stupid, they stay attached to you

    4. The most characteristic part of bed bug bites are a series of bites in a short line/grouping. They stop feeding in response to micro movements and relocate to feed again



  • I’m fully in the Nick Weiger podcast universe so I listen to:

    • Doughboys
    • Doughboys Double
    • Get Played
    • Get Played Season Pass

    Which are all comedy podcasts with similar people appearing. They’re about chain restaurants, random side bullshit, Video Games, and Anime respectively. Then I also listen to:

    • Quick Question with Soren and Daniel
    • The Film Reroll

    Which is a podcast by 2 former cracked writers which is the only reason people listen to them and a podcast about playing through movies as role playing games


  • What would be wild is if the “legal” justification they landed on was that the president specifically is immune but not the people under him. So you’d just have to hand Biden or Trump a handgun and watch them march up to someone and kill them because no police or military has the authority to stop the president

    Obviously I don’t want to live in that world but at least then we’re living in a crazy movie dystopia which might at least be more fun to watch

    While I’m sure most superheroes would be fairly resistant to most diseases, I also wouldn’t be shocked in those universes to see ad campaigns with Spider-Man, The Flash, or Captain America getting vaccinated. Hell, that basically happens in the MCU with Captain America shooting high school PSAs
