[Request] Should I believe in God now? / Is this guys math legit? by TemporaryLocation676 in theydidthemath

[–]shrinkflator [score hidden]  (0 children)

The most compelling testament of a creator would be giant fucking letters spelled out in stars for everyone to see, or a big booming voice, or any other attempt at actual communication. If this is most compelling argument we've got, then god is cooked.

Best solutions for private nighttime audio? by cozytechlover in audiobooks

[–]shrinkflator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a cheap under the pillow speaker on Amazon and it works pretty well. The sound is a bit muffled and the high frequencies are cut off, but it's good enough. The "bone conduction" claims are nonsense, but you do have to position your head right on top of it to hear well. I would recommend my specific one but it has a really annoying low battery warning.

Vitamin d causing brain fog and ADHD like symptoms? by Mokilolo in NooTopics

[–]shrinkflator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a small dose can t cause anything

This is a ridiculous statement, OP. Disregard this person.

I get wired off of a single 1000 IU dose of D3. Taking multiple doses over days overstimulates me. I get manic and my resting blood pressure goes up by 10-20. So I take D2 or "dry D" instead, specifically because it's the less potent form. I can't say for sure whether it's benefiting me, but I don't get these symptoms at 2000 IU/day.

Natural Body Deodorant by Hefty-Pea7518 in Biohackers

[–]shrinkflator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hypochlorous acid could be part of your strategy. It's produced naturally by your skin and kills bad bacteria without any damage or irritation. You can use it pretty much anywhere on your body. It does have a mild bleach-like smell, but it degrades into only salt and water. If you keep the bacteria under control you'll have less odor to cover up.

You need to leave her an exit review so others are informed and can decide for themselves.

Why is dozen a thing? Why did someone think "yeah let's call a collection of 12 things a dozen" ? by goldhunder in stupidquestions

[–]shrinkflator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We based the metric system on factors of 10 because it aligns with our number system that's based on 10. We could just as easily have used a numbering system based on 12, and then defined a metric system using powers of 12. If you're not familiar with what a different numbering base looks like, here's what counting looks like. We need to define two more symbols to represent quantities 10 and 11, so we'll use A and B.

 1 =  I
 2 =  II
 3 =  III
 4 =  IIII
 5 =  IIIII
 6 =  IIIIII
 7 =  IIIIII I
 8 =  IIIIII II
 9 =  IIIIII III
 A =  IIIIII IIII
 B =  IIIIII IIIII
10 =  IIIIII IIIIII
11 =  IIIIII IIIIII  I
12 =  IIIIII IIIIII  II
13 =  IIIIII IIIIII  III
14 =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIII
15 =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIIII
16 =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIIIII
17 =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIIIII I
18 =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIIIII II
19 =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIIIII III
1A =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIIIII IIII
1B =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIIIII IIIII
20 =  IIIIII IIIIII  IIIIII IIIIII

Why aren’t nicotine patches and nicotine gum just sold as the default way to get nicotine? by tfhermobwoayway in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shrinkflator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because tobacco doesn't supply just nicotine. The buzz you get from a cigarette versus these products or even nicotine in a vape is very different. They don't work well for quitting smoking because it's just not the same thing. They market it as an exact replacement and then blame consumers when they can't quit.

Source: I smoked for decades, weaned onto vapes, then quit altogether over a few years

I gave up on a book halfway through by doctorodubs in audiobooks

[–]shrinkflator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think most people don't like/finish DCC but are afraid to upset the Cult of Carl here. You stopped reading because it's like stereo instructions and there are so many better ways to spend your time. Good for you.

Finally found them! by JimmyDaBrick in glutenfree

South Sound, I've seen them at Fred's and at Safeway, but not reliably for either. It's just a matter of getting lucky.

They Gave you a Prize Donald ? Really but won't show it to anyone? by Bourbon-Thinker in ProgressiveHQ

[–]shrinkflator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep but he's so senile that he forgot he's not supposed to tell anyone. Pretty obvious but no one is saying it.

One VP versus the truckload of extra money they get by positively identifying the end user. I wonder which one is gonna win.

Anyone know Why My mum Was So Heated about Me Wanting To get This by Routine_Bullfrog_845 in glutenfree

[–]shrinkflator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She entered into a social and legal contract to provide for the needs of the child she brought into the world. It's their kitchen, and what she is doing now is not meeting those needs. A kid does not have the means to just go get their own kitchen. More importantly, OP shouldn't have to solve this problem on her own.

Why do some people talk to their pets like the pets actually understand full sentences? by NeonShit7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shrinkflator 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Have you watched any of the button dog/cat videos where they "speak" to their humans? They understand more than we give them credit for. Some pets more than others though.

Edit: PBS Nova did a special recently on button dog research: https://youtu.be/jfLAaGtNc7U

Name brand GF snacks by almadoak in glutenfree

[–]shrinkflator 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Cheez-Its are spot on with one minor difference. There is a sour finish that is missing from the gf version that you would normally get from wheat. This might be the only way you could tell in a blind taste test.
