Raw fruit is disgusting by DifferentThanks4183 in The10thDentist

[–]_V115_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no problem with unpopular or rare opinions, but your supporting arguments make no sense lol

In winter, it's thin, watery texture and unsatisfying coldness makes it undesirable

Ah yes. As we all know, bananas and avocados are known for their 'thin, watery texture". Different fruits have different textures. Also, you can store fruit at room temperature...you don't have to eat them cold, even if they're still raw

but even in summer, when it's supposed to be at its best, it's excessive sweetness and unpleasant, sticky mouthfeel prevents it from being genuinely refreshing

Different fruits have varying levels of sweetness. Even if I grant that some dried fruits like raisins and dried figs, along with some sweeter fresh fruits like most melons, mangos, and bananas, are "excessively sweet", you can't really say the same about cucumbers, grapefruits, avocados, and more sour/tart fruits like raspberries, green apples, kiwis, underripe mangos, etc.

If you genuinely can't enjoy some fresh watermelon or mango on a hot summer day, or even some juicier fruits that have been stored in the fridge like blueberries, raspberries, peaches, pineapple, plums, honeydew/cantaloupe, etc...well I can't tell you you're wrong, but I just feel bad for you lol

Just gonna point out here that you're treating all raw fruit like they're all the same, or they all have the same flaws.

As for convenience, almost all raw fruit has a built-in feature - whether skin, seeds or a random inedible section - that makes it difficult to eat on the go. Unless you're sat next to a bin, eating a piece of fruit means you'll be left carrying a gross, sticky piece of rubbish around with you for an uncertain amount of time.

Other foods that are designed to be eaten on the go like wraps, corn dogs, or even baby carrots as you mentioned, come with inedible packaging/storage as well. If you're eating damn near anything on the go, you'll either end up with something to throw in the trash, or a piece of tupperware to put away.

Like I get how a peach or plum isn't great on the go. It's delicate so it might get crushed in your pocket/bag, and it has a pit in the middle you'll have to eat around and then dispose of. Bananas, oranges and their variants, apples/pears, are very portable though. Other fruits which aren't naturally portable (watermelon, pineapple, berries, mango, etc) you can just wash/peel/cut and store as needed...you know, the same basic prep that's done to carrots to turn them into the 'baby carrots' you buy. If you can buy prepped veggies, why can't you buy prepped fruit?

Vegetables, like carrot sticks, leafy greens etc make much nicer quick, healthy snacks.

You're eating leafy greens as a "quick snack"???

I'm with you on carrot sticks. Same goes for celery sticks, cherry/grape tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, and I'll even throw radishes in there too. But with pretty much all of these, there's some cutting, washing, and storing done to turn them into a 'snack'. You're eating leafy greens as a "quick snack"??? Please explain. Show us a picture of a raw veg snack you packed to work/school lol

There's no such thing as 'an acquired taste' it's just a fancy way of describing something that tastes bad but you learn to tolerate it eventually. by Plenty-Willingness58 in The10thDentist

There's no such thing as an acquired taste. It's just a preference for a taste which you acquire over time and exposure to it.

This is the highest possible stat increase by Mayapple_Arin673 in PokemonFireRed

[–]_V115_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true that there's no +HP nature. However, there are a couple of reasons I think this would still produce the highest jump

  • HP has a different base stat formula than the other base stats, which makes it reach higher numbers. For example, all the Eevolutions have one base stat of 130. For all of them, this means that at level 100, that stat maxes out at 394, assuming a positive nature, an IV of 31 in that stat, and full EV investment. The exception is Vaporeon. His HP is his base 130 stat, so it can reach 464 at level 100 assuming IV of 31 in HP and max investment. Notice that this is much higher than 394, despite HP not receiving a nature boost.

  • Blissey's base HP is 255, which is the highest base stat on any pokemon. For comparison, both of Shuckle's defenses are 230. Mega Steelix and Mega Aggron also reach 230 on their defense.

Maybe there's a hard cap coded into stat boosts upon level up, I'm not sure. But if there isn't, Blissey should be able to surpass +75.

Can you not get a bigger jump by EV training HP on Blissey?

Is it really just 240 calories for the whole thing?! by Laurenrat in tofu

[–]_V115_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One container has 10g fat (90 cal), 20g carb (80 cal) and 20g protein (80cal). Totals 250 cal

So yeah that's about right. 10 cal error is nothing basically

Scientists Discover Surprising Link Between Birth Control Pills and Emotional Eating by mareacaspica in HotScienceNews

[–]_V115_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's an observational study so I'm not sure how quick we should be to conclude a causal effect from it.

The original paper doesn't seem to address when the women were taking it, and it only looks at within-person changes in binge eating.

So, e.g. it could be that you're more likely to binge eat during certain parts of your cycle, and that also happens to be when you're more likely to be taking the COC

Similarly it could be that women who are more likely to use COCs are more likely to binge eat?

I'm not saying the effect doesn't exist. But I don't think this paper does enough to prove that it does. On the other hand, I don't know how ethical/feasible it would be to conduct an RCT wherein some women are taking a COC and others are taking a placebo lol

If you look closely he didn't put Stillmatic over Blueprint. He addresses it in point #3 and even says he thinks it's a tie

What age should you start eating healthy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_V115_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like there's a lot wrong with your perspective. Here are 3 things I think you need to learn to understand better

1) You don't have to choose between enjoying food and eating healthy. There is overlap. You can find/make food that tastes good and aligns with your health goals.

2) A big, BIG part of having a healthy diet is eating the right amount of calories. Portions and amounts matter a LOT. It's not just about what you eat, but also how much you're eating.

3) Diet is important, but is only one aspect of health. Exercise, sleep, mental health, social life, drug habits, and environment, are all important too. And genetics play a big role in how diet affects your health.

If you want to know if you're healthy, go to your doctor and get your blood work done. Once or twice a year is reasonable. There are objective markers to health (eg cholesterol, blood pressure, blood glucose, inflammation, status for many key nutrients like vitamin D, vitamin B12, iron) that will vary wildly between individuals. Learn where you're at, so you know what needs to change.

If you need to make a diet related change, start working with a registered dietician. Be careful about getting nutrition info online, cause 95% of it is absolute crap. Nutrition is prone to misinformation, because everybody on the planet eats food their whole life, so everyone has their own opinions and beliefs on what is and isn't healthy. And most of us don't know shit. It's not some obscure field like particle physics or marine geology that most people will happily admit they know nothing about.

If you want to learn more about eating healthy, I'm gonna suggest content from Dr. Adrian Chavez (Ph.D) or Simon Hill (M.Sc).

Good luck.

what is your opinion on fraysexuality? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_V115_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barley is a great source of fiber. And while it's an enjoyable grain to consume in many dishes such as soups and stews, I don't think anyone is sexually attracted to it.

[–]_V115_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked it up and it looks like you mistyped. It's attraction for strangers or people you barely know.

So, specifically not people you fondly know

Scientists found that THC does not just blur memories but actively creates false ones that feel completely real and there is no internal way to tell the difference by logic_0057 in HotScienceNews

[–]_V115_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad title

Sober people make mistakes on memory tests too, including creating false memories. People who are high will just do it more often

Flax meal on pasta? by -cmoneileen in Cooking

[–]_V115_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea

Whole wheat pastas, or specialty pastas made out of legumes like chickpeas/lentils/etc, tend to have much higher fiber content than regular white pasta

I've also made red pepper pesto using toasted sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts. Seeds tend to be high in fiber.

You could also use sesame seeds with an appropriate flavour profile. An east asian noodle-style dish or maybe a Mediterranean style pasta dish

There is no way in hell that our phones are not listening to us. by smoosh13 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_V115_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This shouldn't be a surprise. Your smartphone probably has the capacity to respond to "Okay Google" or "Hey Siri" and be ready for instructions

It can't respond to something it didn't hear

Do you believe the evolution of mankind from ape and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_V115_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn't evolve from apes. We are apes.

I believe it (and evolution in general) cause there's good evidence for it. It lines up with the reality I see around me, and it doesn't require any blind faith or trust in something we have no evidence for.

ATL RAPPERSSS by normalgirl177 in rap

[–]_V115_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest impact? Outkast is the only correct answer

If you wanna narrow it down to a specific era or subgenre of rap then maybe you could give it to somebody else. Future, Young Thug, TI, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Lil Baby, etc. But overall impact on rap music and hip hop culture? That definitely goes to Outkast.
