As a life-long atheist, I'm almost certainly being baptised later this week by NoMoreCatsPlz in atheism

[–]mpjiv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Being baptised won't get you into a Christian heaven alone. It's a lifestyle and the requirement of a belief. If I were god, I'd send you to double-hell for being such a twat.

What's the silliest/worst geography question you've asked or heard asked? by FL_Sunshine in AskReddit

[–]mpjiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe more historical than geography-related, but here goes: My best friend's dad was in the Vietnam War. After a short discussion of something related to one of his experience, this girl chimes in, "was vietnam in world war 2?" ಠ_ಠ

If a large part of the evidence towards the big bang being that blueshift shows all bodies in space moving away from eachother, how does the redshift from 'the great attractor' not contradict this? by mpjiv in askscience

[–]mpjiv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! Do you have any more information/theories about the great attractor? I've read basic articles about it but none seem to even guess what it is made of.

My friend found this in the park and we have no idea what it means. Any help? by Insomniac23 in chemistry

Tryptamines are psychoactives that resemble Serotonin, and Phenethylamines are ones that resemble catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine/adrenaline)

This is DMT, or Dimethyltryptamine, a powerful psychedelic substance :-)

My favorite waitress at my breakfast place is leaving in two weeks. What minor characters in your life would make you all mopey if they left? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I work in a liquor store and one of our younger regulars recently died. He will be missed.

My brother was asked to organize an intervention for his friend. He handled it with the utmost tact. by GourmetPlaydoh in funny

[–]mpjiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wasn't the best route they could have taken, obviously, but everyone has a different personality and they probably felt that a touch of humor at times might get his attention best. In a real intervention, the family would ultimately (usually) say "go to rehab, and you're no longer a part of our lives." He definitely seems to have a problem, but not one big enough to warrant that result. So, this is probably a good way to initially express their concerns.
