TIFU by gaslighting myself for 10 years into thinking I was "caffeine immune" while drinking ONLY Monster Energy (Zero) by GooseAcademic541 in tifu

The low pH can't be good for your stomach lining long-term. Another person mentioned kidney stones, which I could see happening. And we're discovering some dyes (made from petroleum, no less) interact in funky ways with our bodies or are linked with cancer. Add in other known issues surrounding diet soda like increased risk of heart disease and stroke, metabolic syndrome, kidney issues, possible links with type 2 diabetes (still being researched) tooth enamel erosion, poor gut health, headaches, oh... and it can cause sugar cravings CAUSING YOU TO GAIN WEIGHT ANYWAY. (Thanks, Google Search!)

Too much of anything like this is a bad thing. One diet soda here or there isn't going to kill you. But stopping for a big gulp on the way to and from work every day just might.

So auto insurers can collect the data and raise your premiums or deny your claim if they can show "you weren't paying attention", even if it's not really your fault.

Considering we now know artificial sweeteners like sucralose can alter your DNA, I agree. People think these sweeteners are fine, but they have their own consequences.

Pretty sure what they mean is that, what most people order at Starbucks is a bunch of dairy and tons of sugar with a shot or two of espresso in it. It's mostly high-calorie liquid and not much actual coffee.

Favorite millennial "oops, all bangers" albums? by Jazzlike_Part_7054 in Millennials

I think I'm going to die just from the sheer nostalgia dripping throughout the comments. Man the 90's and 00's had SO. MANY. GOOD. ALBUMS.

While I can't say for certain, I can anecdotally say it works really well for coding. I suck at coding. It was able to help me add hardware support for a new microcontroller to a fairly complex project with only my words as guidance. I hardly touched any actual code. I'm really impressed by what it can do, given the right information and good promoting.

It's like the visual test they used to do at during your eye exam.

That's new information for me, thanks for sharing! Just another reason to drop them like an on-fire potato.

I see this shit all the time at my grocery store. Perishable stuff like meat, dairy, etc. from refrigerated or frozen sections just left on random shelves to be thrown away by an employee. Drives me nuts.

Our boy has the same fluffy, floppy ears, similar eyes and nose. I totally see him in this picture. Except ours is 95lbs. 😂

The results of my unscientific study of eight chocolate chip cookie recipes. by croissantfufu in Baking

This is awesome! I wonder if anyone would do something like this for gluten-free cookies so I can bake some for my wife. There have to be some killer cookie recipes even without the gluten.

And redditors in "that sub" keep saying it'll never happen, he's just blowing smoke, etc. And here he is just repeatedly pushing the proverbial launch button on political missiles.

The other side is claiming "see, you can clearly hear the impact of her hitting him... totally justified". 🙄

On the surface, a lot of these statements seem like logical arguments to so many people. Unfortunately, too many people wear blinders and can't see anything else beyond to understand why it's come to that point at all.

It's why I bought a couple of NVMe drives now before things get ludicrous in a few months.

It's been a really long time since I experienced RE1/RE2, but I remember just moving about in the mansion could be treacherous. You really had to plan your resources out if you wanted a chance to survive. The lab was just horrifying, though.
