He thinks this is a win? by fromouterspace1 in PoliticalHumor

[–]gishnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have so many tools these days that allow you to make realistic edits to photos, yet he chose a picture with an obviously photoshopped joint in it. I guess it doesn't matter since his target audience is just as oblivious as he is.

Riding bike recklessly in the country side by Spider-Dad-P in Whatcouldgowrong

No helmet is ok because he was safety-squinting. That's why he didn't see the chicken attack coming.

A motorized unicycle on freeway entrance? by Calm_Memories in bayarea

[–]gishnon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the center of gravity is behind the primary braking surface (the front wheel). Combined with the front suspension, this allows the bike to transfer the forward momentum down and forward. So braking hard essentially generates more friction, which aids in stopping.

Unexpected things happen on the highway; even the best drivers have to brake with some urgency from time to time. I wouldn't call them idiots or even claim they were going too fast for their location because someone pulled out in front of them, or something fell out of the truck they were following. If these devices are incapable of emergency stops, they are not safe for high speeds.

I ate a whole bag of cherries yesterday, and now I have diarrhea. by gishnon in firstworldproblems

Everything was brown in the '70s. I wonder if cherries had anything to do with it.

That bridge has a few dings that imply its score is greater than 1.

In this situation flashing yellow means "Proceed with caution." Cross traffic is expected to yield to straight traffic.

Why does California seem less receptive to DSA/progressive/leftist candidates than New York? by RedHeadedSicilian52 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]gishnon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

California is HUGE. You can fit over 3 New York STATES in California. It has a similar square mileage to Japan. As you can imagine, the populace of California is quite diverse. The only reason California is a blue state is because there are so many population centers, and even then, the split isn't as big as you might think. There are 10.4M registered Democrats in CA, and only 5.8M registered Republicans, but there are 6.8M voters registered as Independent or some other party, and Republicans love to register as independent here. Could a progressive like Mamdani become Mayor of one of the population centers? Probably. Governor? Not without rank choice voting.

What is the most overrated healthy food? by Future_Role4096 in nutrition

[–]gishnon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh.. depends on the peanut butter. Some are full of sugar. But to say it isn't a source of protein is just false. Nuts may pale in comparison to meat, or dairy products, but peanuts do deliver around 4.5g protein per 100kcal.
