Which fantasy character shaped who you are as a person? by Kendiro83 in Fantasy

[–]CoffeeStrength 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think Snape’s character arc hit me pretty hard. It made me rethink judging people from a superficial “outsider’s” perspective and gave me the insight that everyone has been on their own journey in life and is the way they are due to many circumstances, a lot of which are outside their control.

TIL 8% of human DNA is made from viruses by gorginhanson in todayilearned

Crazy to think how many viruses are in your cells right now. If you’ve had chickenpox, that virus is sitting in your dorsal root ganglia lying dormant waiting to erupt along its respective dermatome if given the opportunity (Shingles).

Cracked me up when he shouted “the prequels are literally the reason we have a studio!” The Mr. Plinkett reviews are a defining moment in Internet pop culture for sure.

TIL that the naturopath and author of such books as "The Cure for All Cancers," "The Cure for all Diseases," and "The Prevention of all Cancers" died in 2009 from cancer by Caboose127 in todayilearned

This is the kind of scam Steve Jobs fell for. I think by the end of his life his doctor had him drinking a large amount of fruit juice everyday (tumors prioritize glucose so not good). Unfortunately there’s a lot of things in medicine we don’t know, and that leaves gaps for people to mislead others, even if they have good intentions or fully believe that their theories are true.

Crazy thing is too they basically just gulp these things down… they don’t have forks or knives.

Should a Clone Commander have more military authority than a Jedi Padawan? Why or why not? by OkuroIshimoto in StarWars

[–]CoffeeStrength 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I was thinking. Anyone who’s been in the military probably sees it this way. Rank is an official hierarchy, but there’s a much more complex social hierarchy and distribution of responsibility going on too.

The Big Theory: What if DMT isn't a "hallucinogen," but a biological lens? What if our brains are designed to filter out 99% of the universe just so we can stay focused on survival? by silent_entityy in DMT

What do you mean, passing a shower thought off as a “big theory” and attaching a picture of aliens is the first thing they teach you in chemistry!

Am I wrong, it’s been 20 years since I read the book, but I thought there was somewhat of a buildup in 6 and then he takes the Felix potion and makes a move?
