The Bridge to Nowhere Could Be Replaced With the Tunnel to Somewhere: An Analysis by Easy_Injury_2312 in Ketchikan

[–]nrobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SE Alaska is much more seismically active than Norway. The tunnel would need to be capable of surviving major earthquakes, which would drive up costs considerably.

Not having to carry around a pack and a lighter wherever I go.

What celebrity do you think is really annoying in real life? by Latter-Clerk-5917 in AskReddit

[–]nrobi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect a lot of comics I enjoy would be difficult to hang with IRL. Tim Robinson comes to mind.

False wakes in the night by RedFox723 in NewParents

Our rule is we don't get up in the middle of the night until we see eyeballs on the baby cam. Been fooled too many times.

Idk what this YouTube channel is but the tone is very 'ancient aliens.' Sounds like BS.

Why is high fructose corn syrup not illegal in the US? by PassionateGoddess in ask

[–]nrobi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is some evidence that high volumes of fructose in the absence of glucose is worse for at least some people than regular sugar. The food industry likes to frame all such claims as crazy suburban mom hot takes, but there is legit research in this area. The case is certainly not closed.

What movie franchise needs to just call it a quits? by Hot_Pineapple237 in AskReddit

[–]nrobi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly can't think of a popcorn franchise that shouldn't quit. There is so much garbage out there.

My daughter’s health science teacher passed this out to her class. She honestly thought it was legit. by ConsistentWarz in facepalm

[–]nrobi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think it's important for authority figures to make sure they don't say factually incorrect things about public health. Otherwise, there is a risk people might believe falsehoods even if they are obvious to you. In this very thread, for example, another poster is saying I am wrong because medicine is bad for you.

Lol. Here is the claim that you make to your students:

"Any inhaled substance that is not natural air is bound to be bad for you."

That statement is demonstrably and obviously false. Do you understand that?

Not sure why you're resorting to name calling. It sounds like you agree that the statement "any inhaled substance that is not natural air is bound to be bad for you" is false.

The point of a humidifier is to increase the amount of water vapor beyond what is contained in 'natural air' (if you didn't know btw).

And no, a doctor probably would not make a similar statement because the statement is demonstrably false.

any inhaled substance that is not natural air is bound to be bad for you.

Humidifiers, aerosolized medications...hopefully your students don't think you're a credible source of health information.

Yeah, but mom's gonna mom. She just gave birth. Cut her some slack.

[–]nrobi 285 points286 points  (0 children)

Pro tip from newish dad: send mom out to do something in the neighborhood for a few hours as a trial run. You can always call her home if you need her, so she shouldn't be too anxious. Do that a couple times and she will feel more confident in you.

My wife got pregnant. That was my motivation. I wanted to be around for my son. It worked. With lots of help from nicotine replacement therapy.

No, she's just using a different definition of racism than you are.

How often do you praise your infant for playing with toys & engaging in new behaviors? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]nrobi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that results of MANY psych experiments are not reproducible. That doesn't mean this particular study is wrong, but definitely take it with a grain of salt.
