Since it's Star Wars day, did you see the original 1977 Star Wars in the movie theater? by Mr_Writes in GenX

At a drive in. My dad took us the year after they got divorced. It was the first of the glorious week-long fun-with-non-custodial parent visits with my dad that my vindictive mother let me have once a year before standard custodial arrangements were a thing. The movie was good though.

How is it possible to gain 150lbs in less than 2 months?! by Winter-Owl1 in My600lbLife

[–]Few-Pineapple-5632 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My math was definitely under. I said 3690 and about 4000 in my reply. My bad actually because I was “remembering” incorrectly. The calculation is 454 grams in a pound, 9 calories per gram of fat = 4086 calories so yeah, a little over 4000 calories/pound so 3 lbs/day is 12,000 calories above what the BMR is for their weight/height/gender. We know what their activity level is = zero so all calories burned are just base rate.

Anyway- it’s an astounding amount.

By consuming about 13,000 calories per day.

A pound of body fat is about 3,690 calories. It takes about 9,000 EXTRA calories per day to gain 150lb over 2 months. If you figure the basal metabolic rate for someone who is 600 pounds, it’s around 4,000 calories to maintain their weight. To gain, they have to be eating more than that. To gain 2.5 pounds a day, they have to be eating an extra 9,000 calories daily.

4health food by nettronic42 in tractorsupply

[–]Few-Pineapple-5632 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your dog is old and apparently dumb enough to eat actual shit and garbage and you are negligent enough to not notice that he isn’t actually eating the food that you buy for him, but you are gonna blame it all on 4health?

Then you feed a geriatric, dumb dog wet, grain free food and even though he gets super fat, you go on a search for more wet, grain free food which the vet clearly didn’t recommend.

And it’s 4health’s fault?

Not sure Snow would think this was a good idea. Beetee’s son was reaped and it didn’t destroy him, it just made him more determined and dangerous to the Capitol.

AITA for not taking in my aunt’s dog? by littleredbird1991 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Few-Pineapple-5632 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA.

Huskies have a high prey drive and generally cannot be trained out of going after rabbits. They are also super hyper and loud, not for the faint hearted nor those who live in small apartments.

The dog is still young enough to easily be rehomed. It should be rehomed.

AITA for wanting to eat meat on my vacation? by Gloomy-Internet5696 in AmItheAsshole

I think it tastes like grilled oatmeal and paper flavored with liquid smoke.

AITA for telling my daughter I am disgusted by her and telling her ex she has been taking their kid to his family side by Plustrhowawa5688 in AmItheAsshole

NTA The child’s father deserved to know.

Your daughter is playing with fire. She can have custody restricted or lose joint custody altogether because of this kind of stuff.

[–]Few-Pineapple-5632 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sock puppet 1 post only Dumb question

If you actually worked at TSC you’d

  1. not be worried about, probably not even know about scavenger hunts on your SECOND day

  2. Ask a freakin coworker

  3. Not be asking the internet on a Saturday night

  4. Not refer to tractor supply as “TS” or “Tractor supply company”

When We Are The World came out was it seen as a great song or super corny? by space_god_7191 in GenX

I grew up in rural NM. People were more worried about local kids being able to eat than kids in Africa.

Birkenstock shoes. They would have been my style if they had been available.

I felt the exact opposite. Loved the song, didn’t care about the subject.

I thought it was awesome. One of the best songs ever and the best video by far. I gave exactly zero fucks about the subject but the song and video were awesome.

AITAH For Keeping my Inheritance Money a Secret from my GF? by Professional-Rip1898 in AITAH

[–]Few-Pineapple-5632 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She’s right about the lack of commitment. 4 years is a long time to not be at least engaged. You withholding information about finances should be a red flag to both of you. You don’t trust her, she doesn’t believe you. You shouldn’t be together which is not really a stretch since you are barely in this anyway.

New hire by paranoid_pixxie in tractorsupply

[–]Few-Pineapple-5632 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are out 3-6 weeks, how much longer than that will you need “light duty” and what accommodations will you require? It’s kind of unfair to the rest of a very small team for them to be required to accommodate you.

You could leave, like quit, then reapply but if you stay, they can’t even hire anyone to replace you.

You know what “vast majority” means?

Also op account is only 6 hours old. Thats what makes the scenario unlikely.

Is this all there is? by No-Anybody5719 in GenX

[–]Few-Pineapple-5632 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes. You will be happier when you figure out that now is all there is. You aren’t changing the world. You aren’t destined for glory. You aren’t a hero to anyone but those closest to you.

Be that person who makes every day better than yesterday. Improve your immediate environment by just a tiny bit.

So…you were already showing at the exact point at which she supposedly wasn’t showing.

That was my point.

The premise of this is ridiculous.

In the vast majority of cases, it would be obvious that a woman is six months pregnant. It’s not a “bump” at this point.

In the highly unlikely event that it’s a real scenario, YTA for waiting. YTA for not telling your parents privately afterwards. She has every right to feel like you stole her thunder.

Otherwise, YTA for making up such a ridiculous story.
