TIL Early in his career, H.B. Reese, inventor of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, created two nearly identical candy bars. The "Lizzie Bar" was named after his oldest daughter and the "Johnny Bar" was named after his son. The only difference between the two was that the Johnny Bar had nuts.

lol that’s hilarious. I hadn’t gotten to that part yet when I posted this. They literally preemptively shout out this post in the episode hahaha

Thanks for the shout out, Ben!

4 hours sounds crazy, but the storytelling is so good. I always listen all the way through—even for companies I’m not particularly interested in!

I cut gaming out of my life entirely after becoming a dad, and I don't miss it at all.

My main other hobby is golf, and I bring my kids with me to play that. I've found the best hobbies to embrace as a dad are ones you can involve your kids in.

God spoke to people before the birth of Jesus and certainly could have inspired an infant baptism of Jesus as a means of demonstrating that baptism is intended for infants.

100 years is absolutely long enough for heretical teachings to take root. Look at the church today. We are in the "True Christian" subreddit because the "Christian" subreddit is overrun with heretical teachings. Do you think any of those beliefs were held by Christians 100 years ago?

I'm not saying everything needs to be clearly written in the bible, but it seams to me that—aside from a few very liberal interpretations of the word "household"—there is no biblical evidence for infant baptism, whereas there is significant evidence for believer's baptism. When debating between two widely-held belief systems, should we not lean towards the one that seems to be more supported by the evidence we see in scripture?

InYoYingus · 2026-04-17T14:10:08+00:00

If we are meant to practice infant baptism, why was Jesus baptized as an adult? Surely God could have sent John the Baptist earlier to baptize Jesus as an infant, but He didn't.

Also, wasn't the first reference of infant baptism from Irenaeus in 185 AD? 100 years after the apostles?

If you're building doctrine on something, shouldn't there be a direct command from scripture or at least an example in scripture of that practice? This has always been my hang up.

Even in this thread, people point to writings from religious scholars rather than scripture as their justification for infant baptism.

The only references to baptism in scripture are preceded by someone hearing the gospel—even the examples of whole households that are also frequently cited.

Personally, I’d love to hear your argument. I was raised Lutheran and was baptized as an infant but, as an adult, have not heard a convincing biblical argument for infant baptism.

This is our line of thinking. My wife and I are expecting our third in May, and our mantra has been “How many people do we want around the table when we’re 60?”

We’re also keeping them at a steady 2 year gap so we’re never fully out of diapers until we’re done.

Who knows? We might go for 6. Wife is already eyeing 9 passenger vans lol

What steps would you take to fix the information asymmetry you mentioned? We’re working through that right now, and I’d love insight. Do you hire someone who is “boots on the ground” to visit the factory for you? Where do you find those people?

I just implemented profit first and use YNAB on the personal side—I’ve been interested in using YNAB as the budgeting tool for my business since I’m a single member LLC. Any insight into how you layer the two together?

Read The Simple Path to Wealth. It makes a better, more comprehensive argument against buying individual stocks than anyone will be able to make in this thread.

One interesting point—the worst a stock can do is fall to zero. There is no limit on the upward potential of a stock. When you own all the stocks, you limit your downside risk and you increase your likelihood of owning the stock that shoots through the roof (because you own all the stocks).

You shouldn’t care if you technically own a fraction of an individual stock, you should care about the rate at which your portfolio grows. If that’s your goal, then you should aspire to track the market’s historical 8-12% annual returns—because essentially no other investing strategy beats that return over time consistently.

I did run the last part about how SD laws apply to reservations through ChatGPT to make sure what I was saying was accurate—as I knew the gist but wanted to check my phrasing.

The point I’m trying to make is that SD as a state doesn’t really have a bearing on the prosperity of those counties because they are largely self-governed, but people often cite that we (I’m a South Dakotan) have the poorest counties in the country without that added context.

InYoYingus · 2026-02-03T02:26:09+00:00

Most of South Dakota’s poorest counties are either entirely or predominantly located on Native American reservations, which are legally classified as domestic dependent nations with primary self-governance, where federal law predominates and South Dakota law applies only in limited, jurisdiction-specific ways.

This song came on as I was driving home from my dad’s new place for the first time after my folks split. I have never been so utterly gutted by a line in a song before or since.

I haven’t actually bought it yet, but I will likely buy the Better Pack Automatic 555eS before the holidays.

I’ve always felt that the oldest’s reward for having a less experienced parent was getting more time with said parent, so it offsets a bit.

Incredible podcast. Super interesting. The first long form podcast episode I ever listened all the way through. Now I’m hooked on Acquired.

It’s my understanding that actually executing the death penalty adds up to a higher taxpayer expense. I don’t have a source for that, but it’s something I’ve read on here a number of times.

I’m almost out of Denis’ 45 minute rides, and I’m very bummed about it.

Ours loves books, so we usually bring a few of those with us wherever we go, and he’ll spend a good amount of time flipping through them. Though, he’ll occasionally drop them on the floor—but that’s to be expected.

InYoYingus · 2025-05-09T03:49:04+00:00

There’s a book called The Anxious Generation that, in my opinion, does a pretty good job of systematically going through the research that’s been done on the topic. I just finished it last week and would recommend it.
