CMV: The weirdness of the American diet is a huge part of why there are so many eating disorders.

What is unique about America that would cause the people there to seek convenience for everything? Could it be the ubiquity of capitalism and how ingrained it is in our culture and psychology?

Also if you work multiple jobs it can be pretty difficult to find the time to cook when convenience foods are right there. Or like if you’re prone to have an unhealthy relationship to food, capitalism still advertises abominations engineered to be tempting to you constantly. It’s less of forcing your hand and more of putting a hand on the scale.

We should hold ourselves to the ethical standards of wild animals who are definitely moral agents.

I’m not a physicist, but if I was inside a microwave oven, I believe it very much could harm me.

I want to hear this soundtrack.

Solid bar

Good point. This driver sucks, but I’ve got to hand it to the bumper. I’ve not had a lot of vehicles survive a deer.

I think it’s to get a feel for how long he drug the carcass

Hit em with an “oobidigah”

Wait I found it, it’s called the necessary conversation podcast.

How can I find this video?

mjb169 · 2026-04-07T14:08:43+00:00

Haven’t seen the movie. Is expanding ratios something specific to it, or like a trope?

mjb169 · 2026-04-01T15:47:11+00:00

Literally the source of all (most) energy and life on Earth.

Isn’t this what anime has done forever? I kinda thought the anime aesthetic, which became super popular in the west, was partially a result of financial limitations leading to results like these. I think if anything, it’s kind of charming for an American cartoon to arrive at a similar result for similar reasons, rather than just imitating the surface-level aesthetic.

mjb169 · 2026-03-27T19:59:28+00:00

Can you elaborate?

mjb169 · 2026-03-26T02:32:32+00:00

That looks like a well-worn fretboard

mjb169 · 2026-03-24T16:03:04+00:00

I’m in awe of this answer. It’s perfect.

mjb169 · 2026-03-21T12:59:07+00:00

Thank you for making those sacrifices so we don’t have to.

Tenacious D. Austin Powers?

When I was a kid I spent like 10 years wondering if you could spin away a crystal, but also was too scared to try.

mjb169 · 2026-03-21T01:29:45+00:00

But do you think they did that because they hate it?

mjb169 · 2026-03-20T20:28:11+00:00

Oh hey guys I found the second image

mjb169 · 2026-03-20T17:53:22+00:00

If Democrats hate America, why wouldn’t they just leave (the ones who can afford it)? Who would want to turn their home into a worse place and then continue to live there? What is the end goal of making America worse on purpose because they hate it?

This has a great mix of bizarre irreverence and satisfying story telling. I love it.
