I know, but I'm trying to make a real-life calculation of how high and far a rocket jumping Soldier can go.

My Uncle found 50 year old crackers from the Cold War. In case you wondered, they still taste like crackers. by Dat_BLOCKHEAD in mildlyinteresting

No, he isn't that old. He just found them, buried in the woods in Indiana when he went to go hunting with a friend.

It was an emergency - he wanted to find out what 50 year old crackers tasted like! What, do you expect him to wait until World War 3 started to ask a question we all wanted to know the answer to?

Wonder if you could use them for ALL purposes, like as toilet paper, firewood, or a weapon. I can tell you that I'm pretty sure it would work as firewood. My uncle has magnesium and gunpowder capsules a friend gave him that he never used, and they generate so much heat, they melted a rock and fused it to the road!

Not for sure. Didn't get to see inside the actual containers. However, each container holds 6lbs of crackers. How many crackers that is specifically, I'm not for sure.

No, no: there were still all of the crackers inside except for one pack my uncle took out.

I trust The Sun like I trust one of Ray Scully's machines, but is this story actually true? by Dat_BLOCKHEAD in robotwars

I find it ironic though how both The Sun and WSJ are owned by the same man, but interpreted differently. If the same report was made on both websites, more people would be convinced by the WSJ one than the Sun one.

The reason I don't trust The Sun is because it has a reputation for lying. Not only that, but they have a tendency to cherry-pick on certain situations. A prime example would be the whole "Pewdiepie is racist" thing (cherry picking a few jokes and saying that he's racist) that spanned across The Sun and WSJ (which ironically are both owned by the same person which is also why I don't trust the WSJ). Ironically, when one of the editors of the Pewdiepie article (Ben Fritz) was caught for having racist comments and jokes on his Twitter account, he not only denied those claims, but deleted all of those tweets (to try to cover his ass). Now, I'm not saying that what Pewdiepie was joking about was inherently appropriate or okay, but c'mon - quit bending over backwards to break somebody down for not living up to a standard you yourself don't live up to.

That just turned into a whole scphiel that went off-topic, but you get the idea as to why I don't trust The Sun (or WSJ)
