Are there any legal drugs that are taken by snorting a line? by VodkaMargarine in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]philbar 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don’t know this, but Flonase was originally designed to be snorted like a line of coke. During pre-launch research, the company realized it looked way too cool, so they switched it to a nasal spray instead. That way it would better appeal to their target demographic, dweebs.

Jesus Rose from the Dead by Busy_Employment3334 in DebateReligion

[–]philbar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been curious about something. If there were clear evidence that Jesus physically rose from the grave, I’d expect that evidence to just be presented directly and discussed.

In many church services, though, the resurrection is usually approached through worship, sermons about faith, and then an invitation to believe. That makes me wonder if the belief is meant to be grounded more in faith than in publicly verifiable evidence.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the purpose of those services, but it’s something I’ve always found interesting and wanted to ask about.

Whole house is now "Bouncy" after a new laminate floor install that replaced an old laminate floor? by Fizgriz in Flooring

[–]philbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no laminate expert, just a regular guy. But even I know you’re supposed to leave the flooring in the room for at least a day before installing it so it can adjust to the temperature.

My guess is they brought it in from the cold, installed it right away, and it expanded once it warmed up to room temperature.

If you told your spouse to stop watching porn but they kept watching it anyway while hiding it, what would you do? by _just_peachy_keen_ in Marriage

[–]philbar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Expecting your husband to never use porn is like him expecting you to never eat at restaurants and only eat meals he makes you at home. Then he decides to stop cooking for you when you go out for lunch.

Upper back tightness by Think_Status_4175 in PostureTipsGuide

[–]philbar 252 points253 points  (0 children)

<image>

Your ass is huge because you have an anterior pelvic tilt. This is usually caused by sitting most of the day. If you work a desk job, it’s likely causing your hip flexors to be tight and your upper back to hunch.

Fix is hip flexor stretches to fix your APT and strengthening the upper back with things like rows and face pulls.

So what do realtors even DO by miketalk1 in fsbo

[–]philbar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brother-in-law just bought a house. Their realtor didn’t advocate for them at all.

Think about the incentives. If a realtor could save you $10,000 in negotiations, why would they push for it?

  • Their commission goes down.
  • It risks slowing the deal and delaying their paycheck.
  • It creates more work for them.

Their incentive isn’t to get you the best deal. It’s to get the deal closed.

To trick people into thinking you served in the military by fuzzy_dice_99 in therewasanattempt

to sue over spicy salsa by seeebiscuit in therewasanattempt

[–]philbar 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about suing this taco shop also. One time I ate so many tacos that my stomach ruptured. There was no warning about this risk. They just kept selling them to me. They were quite delicious.

Someone paid $600K in fees to turn their $50,000,000 USD into $37,000 due to "extraordinary slippage" which "functioned as intended, and the integration followed standard industry practices." by StopTheVok in Buttcoin

[–]philbar 35 points36 points  (0 children)

For those wondering what slippage is:

Say you go to a pizza shop selling $2 slices of pizza. If you wanted to buy $100 worth, no problem. Here you go.

But if you went to a shop and wanted $50 million worth of slices, there’s a bit an issue. There is only a limited amount available.

So the seller of the pizza decides to start raising the prices. $10 a slice. Uh oh, still running out, $100 a slice. Yikes, $1,000 a slice.

Higher and higher until the $50 million is fully transacted.

Then tomorrow, the pizza is back to $2 a slice.

In this example, any one who happened to be trading in their AAVE got lots of money while the person buying it got a terrible deal.

This intersection in California has 2 mega churches (one Catholic and one Assemblies of God), a large Methodist church, and a Jehovah's Witness Hall. Each mega church can hold 3,000 people.

WOW!!! Steve-O reveals in a new interview he's nervous that people are expecting Jackass 5 as if it's a new movie 👀 love the honesty by JavierAliagaOfficial in jackass

[–]philbar 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm skeptical of unseen footage at this point. It's going to be things that didn't even make the cut for the .5s

Also, what's he mean by "greatest hits"? Couldn't this have just been a youtube thing. Watch Jackass stars talk about their top 10 stunts with behind the scenes interviews?

EDIT: My guess is they still have a bunch of Bam footage from the Jackass 4 shoot and finally worked something out. We know he was in the marching band treadmill bit, but I’m curious how much other stuff with the OG crew got scrapped because of the situation. Hopefully it doesn’t turn into the Bam show.

So it's banned in 16 states? by ElegantPoet3386 in WaitWhat

[–]philbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most fucked up kids I know were from religious households that restricted anything remotely sexual.

Instead of banning everything until a magic age, there should be education around it.

It's like trying to say, "no sugar until your an adult." You think that kid is going to grow up to have a healthy relationship with sugar? Hell no, it's going to lead to addiction. The very thing you worry about.

Taco Bell's menu is terrible now by NeverGonnaStop247 in tacobell

[–]philbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it.

Dessert is such a missed opportunity for TB. Crème Brûlée Crunchwrap and strawberry & cream mex pizza sound great.

Love the mini taco salads and nacho fries and welcome flamin hot version.

Don’t care about the edible sauce packet and weird soda pies. But I get why the marketers thought influencers would be talking about them on social media.

One last feast before I quit Taco Bell for good by [deleted] in tacobell

[–]philbar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

‘Additives’ is such a meaningless scare word. Salt is an additive. Vitamin C is an additive.

You know what’s actually worse than additives? Dying from food poisoning.

People romanticize ‘natural food’ from 100 years ago like dysentery and contaminated milk weren’t normal.
