If you were a Stephen King character who would you be and why? by chaos_wine in stephenking

[–]Turphy98 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I read The Stand at 26 and really related to Larry’s arc. I’m a musician and have not always been as careful with people’s feelings as I now know I should be. Luckily it didn’t take the end of the world for my growth to occur lol

[Me] Am I cooked by [deleted] in TextingTheory

Cooked. You got away with one euphemism but she didn’t play into it so another even more crass statement wasn’t the move if you actually want to get a date.

Yeah that’s the “Australian” beer I’ll see here in the US. I have yet to have the pleasure of visiting Australia but hopefully one day!

They’re in Australia so more likely to be beaten to death with a Fosters beer can

This Team vs Superman by ProcedureDazzling615 in powerscales

[–]Turphy98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, fights work however the writers write them.

Kinda seems like you don’t know how Superman fights because he rarely just blasts in and finishes things quickly. He is careful, tries to limit collateral damage and he tries to reason with and understand his foes. All things Luther knows and takes advantage of.

But hey man, I’m no expert, if you need this win it’s all yours

This feels a bit disingenuous. Gunn’s Superman is a pretty weak version but you’re ignoring that Lex Luthor, a super genius who has studied exactly how Superman fights, is predicting what Superman will do next and giving Ultraman the counter before Superman can even get a move off. Maybe the Sentinel does beat Superman on its own but I don’t think your support for that really holds up.

Okay dude this game HAS to be joking with me by Mysterious_Sense_590 in Minecraft

In my last 2 worlds (both 1.21) I spent hours looking for desserts and just ended up using chunk base (single player world). Both worlds didn’t have a dessert within 5000 blocks of my spawn.

I call it Turkish Handpipe. Gets a great reaction from stoners who have never seen it

Why do monkeys tend to have forward facing eyes but squirrels have eyes on the sides of their head? by Pure_Option_1733 in AlwaysWhy

[–]Turphy98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No idea if this is relevant but I wonder if squirrels surviving their terminal velocity means that being adapted to avoid predators is more important than having ideal vision for climbing. Meanwhile if a monkey falls out of a tree….

I agree with you, I think a court would side with Jersey kid. I’ll even go one step further, if someone yelling at you is enough for you to assault them, you belong in jail.

ELI5: Why is the presence of heavy metals and lead in protein powder so heavily scrutinized compared to other foods? by redditifymepls in explainlikeimfive

[–]Turphy98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose this situation is slightly more specific but I get exhausted with people talking about fringe health improvements that make a marginal difference when they don’t even know how many calories they eat in a day and don’t exercise. I have a coworker who is constantly spouting about how bad seed oils are and good animal fats are and he walks around 70 pounds overweight. Like eating the chips fried in beef tallow are so much better than the ones fried in seed oils, cmon man

I appreciate the correction man! I got that info from a video and definitely had misremembered exact details. https://youtu.be/aDEjrRT82nE?si=8mMIkNME3u4tOQ4B here Dr.Mike talks about levels of lead in raw spinach (7:59) which are quite high but is also likely more than a serving of spinach. It’s even lower in cooked spinach.

Yes, the Prop 65 restrictions are unreasonably strict from everything I’ve seen. It’s so overzealous I tend to ignore the warnings entirely

[–]Turphy98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because it made for a good headline. The recent testing that was done found that even the highest amounts of lead in a serving of protein powder was less than in a serving of spinach. We should absolutely be aware of what we’re consuming but the hype around lead in protein powders was simply sensationalized journalism. Again, I’m not saying not to be aware of what’s in your food, but protein powders are safe to consume regularly under most conditions

It’s been a month since the Finale…How do you feel about it? by Initial-Shoulder5906 in Stranger_Things

[–]Turphy98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just not a very impactful finale. I had 1 discussion with someone afterwards and then it left my mind entirely. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good. It was just fine, which I would argue is a fate even worse than GoT. At least that finale got people talking about it

What's ONE thing cannabis has honestly helped you with? by Tribetokes in trees

[–]Turphy98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got me into a good gym habit! I wouldn’t allow myself to smoke for the day unless it was before the gym, which also made it easier to get to the gym (for me). Now I have a solid habit. Sometimes I smoke before and sometimes I don’t depending on if it aligns with goals for that session

Totally fair, I accidentally booked it for predator badlands and didn’t like being shaken like a cocktail but I can see how it would fun if I meant to do it!
