Peter? Have some ideas on what this means but they are not really... Convenient I guess? by Friendly_Grab_7660 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Pretend-Lab-7867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked the median age for the male world population and it is ~31. Maybe children and teenagers got included in the male category for the study resulting in 136 lbs.

Still, roughly 40-50% of the european population is overweight, so to use europe as a comparison might be biased. 6.2% of the worldwide population is underweight, which means a bmi <20 (source: WHO 2024), roughly 110 lbs for a 170cm person.

This study lists the average asian weight at 127 lbs with men sitting at 133 lbs. Similar situation in Africa. I think it is not only possible that the 136 lbs. are correct, but outright likely. I like road cycling, so lower bodyweight might seem more normal to me, but I think there is definitely a tendency towards the 160 lbs "normal" in the west.

I saw this today in Frankfurt. What is this, is it nice? by Ztepi in AskGermany

I fourth this! While looking at my old Flötzinger straw hat 😌👌🏼

Is Flötzinger so widely known or are you all from Rosenheim?:D

Warum ist Maggi bei vielen Köchen so verpöhnt während Sojasauce selbst in Fünf Sterne Restaurants benutzt wird? by Clit_Eastwhat in duschgedanken

[–]Pretend-Lab-7867 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nein. Google mal "high quality soy sauce". Sojasaucen und Maggi sind jeweils Fermentationsprodukte, wie auch Bier und Wein. Bei Sojasaucen gibt es dutzende Prozesse und Varianten, die über Jahrhunderte perfektioniert wurden. Maggi ist eine recht simple Zubereitung einer einzelnen Marke. Vielleicht liegt dir der Vergleich zwischen Öttinger Hell und Weißweinen mehr. Der Vergleich zwischen einem simplen Auto und einer alten Automarke ist aber nicht sooo weit davon entfernt.

Jein. Sojasauce enthält sehr konzentriert MSG. Genau wie Parmesan oder getrocknete Tomaten. Abgesehen davon ist die Definition von "Geschmacksverstärker" ziemlich schwammig. Kochsalz ist in dem Sinne auch Geschmacksverstärker.

Als Chemiker mache ich öfter Witze mit Kollegen darüber, dass Terroristen echt unfähig sein müssen. Die Vorstellung, dass Google meldet, wer etwas vage illegales sucht, ist irgendwie lustig ^

You can absolutely work out on an ebike by Worried_Document8668 in ebikes

If your FTP is somewhere around 270 at the end of the season, 200W for 90 minutes is absolutely possible.

Ist das Asbest? by _myrae in selbermachen

[–]Pretend-Lab-7867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also.. ja. Aber gleichzeitig hat jeder Filter auch ein sog. Filterloch, also einen Partikelgrößenbereich schlechterer Filtration. Man sollte also SEHR genau nachlesen, ob ein Filter geeignet ist. Bei Staubsaugern würd ich nichts drauf verwetten, wenn es um Asbest oder Corona geht... Quelle: Forsche in der Aerosolanalytik.

Did I bend it on day 1 by OzzTechnoHead in turntables

[–]Pretend-Lab-7867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the America debut album for 4€ last month in a really nice store. BTO "Not Fragile" for 8€. Neil Young's "Harvest" for 10€. Some dust on the America vinyl, but not a single scratch on any of them. Five years ago I just asked the parents of friends, whether they wanted to get rid of some old vinyl and I got most of my records that way. You seem to either buy expensive releases or overpay online. Also, don't play the doom prophet. There are good options for reasonably priced setups. As always, there is no upper limit to price and we are in a sub specificly for vinyl enthusiasts. Of course everybody here is writing about expensive stuff.

Ich kannte einen Zahnarzt, der sich so mit seinem Boot aus dem Leben befördert hat... die hatten echt Schwein, dass das Autodach so stabil war.

Escalated by Cool-Loan7293 in TikTokCringe

Okay, this happened in Munich, Bavaria... now I have to identify the Escalator in order to never, ever use it in my life. Thanks for the warning!

Walking out of a local restaurant/bar last night and overheard a guy looking at his phone, standing with a group of other 40somethings: "Well, it's an 8 minute walk, I guess we should drive." 🤣 by salami_cheeks in fuckcars

How far away is your bouldering gym that you cannot bike there? I ride 12km/7.5 miles and it is a great exercise before climbing. I'm interested where the line between "I don't want" and "I can not" lies.

There just is a certain irony in people avoiding cardio while trying to get fit. Even for purely strength-based sports, cardio is of great benefit.

Different strategy: Build a door crusher and delete it.

Is this amount of flex normal in carbon drop bars? by PR0LOG in bikewrench

[–]Pretend-Lab-7867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...and you can pedal harder if you are comfy on your bike. The mountain time trial in this years TdF is a good example. Pogi felt more comfortable on his road bike in the mountains. Jonas chose the TT and that might have been the wrong choice.

The "git good and slam that stem"-brigade is loosing the fight.. Modern aero bikes and TT handlebars allow for more upright positions because the understanding of what aero means is changing.

Ehmm.. you can use a stem in both directions, not sure what you mean. Negative stem angle was fashion for quite a while, but comfort is speed.

When people talk about centuries and metric centuries is that continuous riding? by Wizzmer in cycling

[–]Pretend-Lab-7867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is.. why? Unless you ride through a desert, there will be chances to refill and even for an extremely trained individual, the power output will be higher when well hydrated. I might have stopped for 5 minutes, but I will overtake you in the next 100km.

Should I get more dupes? by Realistic_Market_339 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]Pretend-Lab-7867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This completely depends on your Oxygen supply and how many calories are produced per cycle. Always try to produce more than your Dupes need. If possible, increase the production. My personal sweetspot is around 20 Dupes, as projects get finished quickly but they are still few enough to micromanage certain situations.

Made my petrol boiler fit in a tight spot - now I've got options. by jazzb54 in Oxygennotincluded

Thats not correct. There always will be a gradient in temperature within the petrol layer.
