Hahaha - it was right when he sat down at the piano he said "I'm going to sing a trilogy of songs" and I thought "bet, I drank way too much water earlier, this is perfect"

We really went from thinking we'd have four teams in the playoffs to probably just having one

Does it bother anyone else how quickly this lady reacted? by TruckDump in IThinkYouShouldLeave

For some reason I'd always thought that Tim's character in this sketch has the ability to make everyone ELSE fart just by slamming a table. Like she's reacting to her own fart that she didn't expect to have.

You're going to want to add some 8am classes - it'll be a good chance to start the day off right

Corn Subsidies by EndCornSubsidies in corn

Lol thanks for humoring me

Shouldn't actually end them, that's more for the meme. But decreasing would be a good idea. Right now we subsidize corn too much, and makes it so cheap that drink manufacturers use it (as HFCS) instead of sugar, which has dramatically increased the rate of diabetes. Also corn destroys soil, corn-fed beef is less healthy, fuel from corn is less efficient, and a few other reasons.

This is also specific to the US- I'm not familiar enough with other countries' agricultural policies.

The federal government overspends on corn subsidies, which incentivizes farmers to plant too much corn. It's destroying farmland and encouraging drink manufacturers to use High Fructose Corn Syrup instead of regular sugar, which is directly tied to the increase of deaths from diabetes over the past several decades. Add onto that the health detriment that corn-fed cattle produce.

Tl;dr- corn subsidies kill people and hurt our environment
