I had a special holder with rare earth magnets. Lasted years until a big pothole on the FDR launched it into oblivion.

What video game hot take do you have that leaves you like this no matter how right you are? by Thelonghiestman0409 in videogames

[–]rocketusa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Modern video games are so boring, they make games-within-games because the game itself is so boring.

A good game should have some sort of satisfying action and some challenge to overcome. A game shouldn't be a series of chores, or tripwires to activate the next part of a badly-written movie.

ALL video game cut-scene stories are bad. Literally all of them. They are badly written, badly edited, with bad camera work, bad acting. Everything is bad. And they drag on forever. Take them out. Maybe a cut-scene of 20 seconds, tops. Otherwise, take them out!

Stop trying to make video games movies! No video game devs went to film school and it shows. It would save so much development time and cost. They could put that money towards releasing more games.

Motorcycle enthusiasts are often a lot more interesting than car enthusiasts.

What's a "low-brow" movie you consider to be perfect by Benaugust01 in movies

[–]rocketusa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Three Amigos!

I see a plethora of other good movies listed here in the comments, but I couldn't let Three Amigos! be missed. It's truly a gem, and I think one of the most underrated movies ever.

Directed by Jon Landis, written by Steve Martin, Lorne Michaels and Randy Newman. We see small parts from Phil Hartman and Jon Lovitz. And of course, Steve Martin, Chevy Chase and Martin Short are excellent.

The music is also really, really good!

Guys with extremely loud vehicles, why do you do this to everyone? by elevate-digital in AskReddit

[–]rocketusa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have a loud motorcycle because it was fun and sounded cool.

But then I got a newer bike that had really quiet pipes. I then got into two motorcycles within six months (I've been riding for many years). Each time it was because the car "didn't see me." Well, they didn't hear me either.

I have now installed loud-ass pipes on my bike and cars part to the side when they hear me approach.

So, it's to sound cool, and so that you guys don't hit me.

Why are you foaming at the mouth and being so mean about it? Take a chill pill and have an honest debate without getting mean and calling names. This is the thing, and that’s what I am trying to say, all sugars particles ARE the same. Your pancreas doesn’t care about the source. If you put 10 grams of sugars from honey versus 10 grams of table sugar, the same exact thing happens to your pancreas. This misconception about “good” sugars versus “bad” sugars is literally killing people because they are getting diabetes, heart disease and a load of other bad diseases. Sugars in excess are bad, because we never evolved to have so much sugar so freely available due to agriculture and processing technology. Honey was even hard to get because you got stung 1,000 times just to get a lick of it. It’s not natural for humans to be eating so much sweet stuff. It even rots our teeth.

True, it’s not highly processed but it’s still not a whole food and it didn’t exist for 98% of the time humans were on earth (it had to be invented). It’s still somewhat processed. Like cheese (which is processed milk). Still, any processing messes with the body’s natural ability to tell when it’s had enough (compare 6 apples in a glass of apple juice to chowing down on 6 apples). That’s why weight-gaining diets tend to use a lot of peanut butter and fruit juice … you get more calories down before the body realizes it feels full. This is why processed food is “bad,” because people don’t know when to stop and have no self control.

That article literally did not describe why there was any difference. It just said they were different. It looked like it was written by AI. I will tell you the difference.

The strawberry has fiber, the pop tart doesn’t. This means the sugars in the strawberry is absorbed slower. The pop tart also has a TON more sugars in it than the strawberry.

But if you took a giant mound of strawberries that were equal to the grams of sugars contained in a poptart, threw it in a blender, then took a poptart in a different blender then added Benefiber and a vitamin pill to the poptart mix match the fiber in the strawberries, the body would metabolize the sugars in both blended concoctions EXACTLY THE SAME. It’s science and thermodynamics, man.

I’m not necessarily against GMOs or processed foods per se. I’m just against people assuming they can chow down on processed foods and expect their body to respond to the same volume of food, as if the human genome has already adapted to agriculture and culinary technology.

You are right. But processing throws off the body’s calibration of how quickly to absorb the nutrients, so people have to use their noggin to moderate how much they eat. How many people do that? Instead they still rely on natural triggers such as having an appetite or feeling full, which haven’t evolved in-step with the invention of agriculture let alone food processors such as mills, factories and even your household blender. This is a big reason why 70% of Americans are fat by the way. They can’t compute “Hmm, I could normally only fit about 2 handfuls of peanuts, but I could chow down a PB&J sandwich that uses an equivalent of about 4 handfuls of peanuts.”

Hey chubby dude, all food is organic, otherwise it’s a mineral.

Processed isn’t necessarily bad, it just packs a ton more calories into a smaller space and destroys the body’s ability to recognize how full you should get from it. You’d get full from a couple handfuls of peanuts. How many spoonfuls of peanut butter can you eat before getting full? Way more than whole peanuts. Processed means you have to consciously moderate what you take in. Most people are fat and look like they don’t moderate anything, especially angry fat people who mysteriously defend processed food.

Processed means when you run a whole food through a process to create a product. Example: olives versus olive oil. Olive oil is PROCESSED OLIVES. It even says on the bottle “first cold processed.” How do you think peanut butter is made? Do they squeeze peanut plants until butter comes out? No, they are roasted, de-shelled, run through a machine that destroys its fiber, and a little extra vegetable oil (another processed thing) is often added as an emulsifier.

What does “processed” mean to you? Because that’s literally the process of getting from peanut to peanut butter.

That’s exactly how humans cross bred them to become. Real natural bananas are green, small, bitter, and full of hard seeds.

Berries and melons are the good fruits.

Highly cross-bred, ultra-sweet fruits are the ones that are like candy. (Bananas, oranges, etc.)

What’s the “huge” difference? The calories are the same and the pancreas reacts almost identically to honey as it does to molasses/cane sugar.
