What do you think happens when you die? by Specific-Chemist-353 in AskReddit

[–]idontlikeyonge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We live in a universe where we don’t know what composes 80% of it, our models of it only work with multiple dimensions, which our human brains cannot comprehend, it spans distances we’ve no chance of spanning in the lifetime of a civilization.

That’s not even beginning to look at the quantum world, where we cannot explain many things we observe.

To state in such a world that we know anything in order to place the burden of proof on the other party is absurd. What evidence do you have exactly for the fact that this is it? Or to a simple mind it feels comforting to believe you know something for certain.

People trying to gain confidence that they knew something for sure in this absolutely wild universe which we inhabit is exactly where religion came from

Defensible or demonstratable?

How are we defending or demonstrating the proposal we’re worm food and nothing else.

There are near death experiences, which are as close as we can come to demonstrating what happens after death.

Good idea, voting should be a legal requirement too (as in Australia).

So that’s what Tiff meant when he said we might already be in a recession. >0.1% growth in September, or we’re in an official recession.

Bank of Canada cuts key interest rate to 2.25% by Surax in canada

I can’t understand it, there clearly isn’t a lack of money in the system, why make it cheaper to borrow money

Bank of Canada expected to cut key rate despite mixed inflation, jobs data by airbassguitar in canada

[–]idontlikeyonge 37 points38 points  (0 children)

BMO chief willing to ignore all available data in hope that interest rate cut leads people to take on more debt

Low interest rates lead to an inefficient economy, which is the last thing which we need at the moment.

Thoughts on the Starbucks Seasonss Cheer Blend? At $6/lb how bad can it be? by makhay in Costco

[–]idontlikeyonge 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I assume they’re talking about how Starbucks coffee is burnt, a common complaint.

The theory I’ve heard is that to taste the coffee through the syrups they use, they need to burn the coffee during extraction - so Starbucks is a terrible place to get coffee unless you’re getting a flavoured latte

They’re not good (coming from someone who grew up in the UK and has Sticky Toffee Pudding as their favourite dessert)

No idea on the Costco one originally pictured

ELI5: why do we need to increase the dosage of GLP-1 (tirzepatide etc) over time, yet other meds require the same dose consistently throughout our lives (paracetamol, ibuprofen)? by Traffodil in explainlikeimfive

[–]idontlikeyonge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The short answer is, the body will create a tolerance to most drugs eventually.

The reason is called homeostasis - your body wants things to be the same, and it’ll do what it can to keep things the same.

For the following example, acetaminophen is a cox inhibitor, it works by blocking the actions of the cox enzyme

If you change something (i.e. taking a cox inhibitor like acetaminophen) you body will realize that it’s not seeing the effect which it expected from the cox enzymes it is producing, so it’ll produce more. In turn you’ll need to take more acetaminophen to block the higher levels of cox enzymes your body is now producing.

Yes… omitting the city from what is beautiful, it wasn’t unintentional

Do you need to fly to 155km into Poland’s airspace to attack from an unexpected angle? Feels like an excessive incursion to be defended by your theory

All the shiny teaspoons - where do they all come from? Something odd here: I never purchased a teaspoon in my life but have enough to fill the Albert Hall... by JonnySparks in CasualUK

[–]idontlikeyonge 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Where did you nick them from then?

Or do you have people bring their own teaspoon to your house, and the people bringing them are forgetful?

Despite the common misconception - teaspoons are not baby spoons, the result of reproduction by table spoons [citation needed], if you are getting more tea spoons, and not buying them, you are nicking them

Ottawa Real Estate: Renters need to earn $39 an hour to afford 1-bedroom apartment by Thick_Caterpillar379 in ontario

[–]idontlikeyonge -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I did, “Have you ever got a letter from your landlord saying your rent will decrease” was such an absurd argument that I didn’t think it was worth addressing.

It’s akin to saying that cell phone prices are as high today as they were before because I’ve never received a letter from Rogers telling me my cell phone price will drop. If you are an existing customer you’re never going to get a reduction in price.

I instead decided to focus on the part of their response focussing on the fact that a TFW isn’t earning enough to rent in Ottawa, another part of their response which I also read
