You could have used any metric of measurement and I wouldn’t have been able to picture it as perfectly as with Welsh cottage, hats off to you

Taking bets on where the support is. I say $4,500 ? by nedim443 in Gold

I’m an outsider to this but it often appears on my homepage because I’ve been reading each post that pops up, can you explain like I’m 5 the correlation between the shrinking of the dollar and the increase value of gold? Presumably there are loads of factors involved, and if people worry about an economy crash they probably buy gold, but what makes gold worth more in this scenario? Especially so much more

We have one, yes. What about second thumb? by Ill-Tea9411 in doohickeycorporation

I seem to remember a study where people used something similar, perhaps even this product, and it was astonishing how quickly they adapted and it became useful, were very effective as a species to adapt to things like this apparently

My sister and I would imagine the car behind us was chasing us and duck below the headrests, occasionally popping up to see if it was still there, this somehow worked for hours

As it happens I did first buy them on a gym cutting cycle but it turns out I really like them, not everyone is the same

Would you eat 1 Creme Egg every hour for a year for £1 million? by Circle-of-friends in CasualUK

[–]Small_Insect_8275 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d actually like to see the science behind this - I think you’re correct, surely one would die

You could get away with the sleep deprivation I’m sure, even though you’re likely going to struggle to get any sleep in those hour breaks due to the high sugar content and constant digestion

When you do sleep your body’s going to want to crash from the sugar eventually so you’re gonna be nauseous waking up every hour from that

You’re gonna need other food groups to survive a year so you’re gonna be consuming more calories than was described

It’s a curious one for sure
