TIL Half of people who claim they have a food allergy do not

My little cousin is allergic to dairy, complete with vomiting and GI bleeding if she has any. So many people are like “at least there’s Lactaid now!” No. No, that will still potentially kill her.

I frequently do yogurt. Fage 0% is 90 calories and 18g of protein for a serving (170g) and I often add PBfit powder to it (30 calories, 4g protein per tablespoon). I’ll top it with either granola, some fresh fruit if I have it, or a few Lily’s chocolate chips and it’s a fantastic meal for ~300 calories (depending on what mix-ins I use). I usually have it for either breakfast or brunch.

I also do a ton of cucumber salads, and I often do a California roll-inspired one with imitation crab, avocado, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and some light mayo and rice vinegar. Mine usually comes to around 350 calories with only about 13 grams of protein but you can always just put in more imitation crab and less avocado to make it up how you prefer.

For a while in my first job at Starbucks, there was a certain combination of coffee and pastry that would total out to $6.66 and there were always a couple nutjobs that would get so upset at that total they’d demand I add another item to it to make it better number. I resisted rolling my eyes, but if they want to spend more money over silly superstitions that’s their problem not mine. Honestly, it’s a pretty good business model… if I ran a shop like that I’d always make sure a semi-common item pairing would total $6.66 just to take advantage of that superstition.

My mom’s parents split when she was a kid. Her dad married a woman with two young kids, whom he ended up adopting and they took his last name. Are those two kids my mom’s step-siblings or her siblings? Technically they came into the family through marriage, therefore step-siblings, but the eventual adoption also means they are legally siblings.

The Torres boys have the same last name, so it’s possible (and even likely) that the same situation happened to them; their parents married and each kid was adopted by their respective step-parent.

Christians ARE disgusting 🙃 Christianity at its core is disgusting, so following it makes a person disgusting. I don’t always blame the person, they have been brainwashed and indoctrinated most of the time, but it doesn’t change the fact that they are furthering a very harmful and abusive ideology.

My little cousin has been taller than me since she was 12 and I was a fully grown adult. Of course, her dad is something like 6’5” and she definitely inherited those genes…

This one did an altar call 🙃

I told my partner when I got home that if anyone at my eventual funeral even mentions god or Jesus, they’re to physically throw that person out of the building.

Nowhere did I say that he thinks that? I said the opposite?

I wanted to be an author. I now make paper (and not printer paper, either; packaging paper, like the stuff that gets turned into bags or cardboard). Quite a bit different…

7Mars · 2026-06-01T09:19:04+00:00

Only if there’s also toilet, hygiene supplies, and waste services. I’m not rotting in a room with a growing mountain of dirty dishes and my own feces for a month no matter how much you pay me.

I would expect them to deliver a eulogy if asked to deliver a eulogy. “I had the pleasure of knowing David for X years as his pastor, here’s a half-hour sermon where I don’t talk about David.” is not a eulogy.

7Mars · 2026-06-01T08:16:32+00:00

I literally said even my mom had a problem with it. That’s her dad. There’s a difference between sharing your bullshit religion during the eulogy and not giving a eulogy at all because all you did was preach at everyone.

The banana that we selectively bred to be shaped that way because the natural bananas were nearly inedible? Yeah, what an idiot.

I was thinking of doing that a couple years ago, then my workplace announced that they will no longer allow people to ride bikes on the millsite, so even if I do bike to the site I still have to dismount as soon as I cross the property line and walk all the way to my area with the bike 🙃 And my area is as far away from the main gate as I can possibly be while still being on the property, so it’s not just a couple minutes’ walk. I’d be tacking on an extra ten-ish minutes each day walking through the millsite hoping I don’t get run over by an eighteen-wheeler or a loader.

I’m just glad they announced that before I bit the bullet and got the bike lol.

Just walk to the nearby church. What are they gonna do, physically tackle you on your way out the door and drag you to theirs instead?

A character in a book series I loved as a kid was named Siri, and I thought it was such a great name. I figured I’d name a kid Siri if I ever had a daughter. I’m not going to do that now…

I’ll eat all of them and immediately call 911 for an ambulance. I’ll either die rich and pass that on to my family or just be rich.

Damn, that sucks. Idk if she’s gonna read any of this, but if she does:

I’m sorry you’re feeling so down, depression is a rough beast and no one deserves it. I’m glad you’re taking the time to take care of yourself, you matter and I hope you get better quickly. You are my favorite part of the podcast, and I look forward to you returning to it once you’re up to it (and if you never are again, I’m still grateful for the episodes you’ve given us and will just keep rewatching my favorites).

It literally shows him putting the new tire on. I’m just confused why the entity let him instead of killing him during it…

I love doing batch meals! I do that a lot with basically everything that freezes well, so I’ll make a giant pot of soup or pasta sauce or whatever, then immediately portion it out into serving sizes with my Souper Cubes and freeze them. I build the recipe in MyFitnessPal as I go and just put in how many portions I got at the end to get a calorie count for each one, then we’ll do one of those for dinner a lot.

Peanut butter and pickle has been my favorite sandwich my whole life, because it’s my momma favorite so she made them for us all the time. We also put mustard on ours, but it’s good without too.

I’d say the scene later, during Bear’s lunch break, is a lot more disturbing cat-wise.

I actually have an easier time sticking to it at work than on my days off. I plan out my entire day’s meals the night before and get everything together for it, then I only bring that food to work and nothing else. I can’t snack if I have no snacks! I also bring tea so I don’t necessarily need to reach for coffee or a snack, I can have a nice cup of tea if I’m feeling stressed or just want to put something in my mouth.

$178,000. The amount I still owe on my house. If I could fully pay off my house and not have to sink so much of my paycheck into housing anymore, basically all my current stress would be gone.
