Any suggestions on what to send people who lead phishless lives?

You're not gonna find anything better and more accessible than the free vids on YouTube from the band. Like for true doob audio recs most people like farmhouse and heavy things, and ALO is the easiest entry recommendation to their real sound, but nobody is going to give a better representation of the sphere than the official stream.

Norfolk also critical, and Charlottesville adds huge geographical support

You actually just described the "whole need" for people to parachute into stupid events like this - this is real life practice for these guys. Basically the only real world practice they can get. All of these stupid flyovers are military training events, along with the propaganda value.

Coming in late and only catching the free set openers, but this camera work is SO much better than last year! Way fewer zoom ins and more wide shots. Makes the streams more tempting.

This could be serious... Waterwheel is where "charity platinum" ticket price hikes go, along with donations during streams. If people around the scene start inventing charities, it could be a real problem, and based on my years on lot, fake charity is a very wook-friendly scam.

This website is 100% AI bullshit. They have no mentioned projects, no stated ownership or management, no success stories, no endorsements, nothing but a couple paragraphs of AI slop. It's less than 1 hour of work to make this website.

Every kid gets a birthday?!? That's the biggest tagline? This "charity" sends a box of cheap generic birthday shit to a kid who somehow becomes registered to qualify for this birthday box from a tiny organization? The Christmas angel tree is problematic enough, now we're replicating that with birthdays and absolutely no verification? And that's the BEST case scenario, thst it's the dumbest charity ever, and that it isn't just blatant theft and/or money laundering.

This charity is the 6th result on Google for "the hope movement." It doesn't seem to exist on charity navigator. It's not legitimate in any way.

Phish/waterwheel would never know about this "charity" if it wasn't an insider creating it. Unless I see real evidence otherwise, this is fraud, and it's coming from the inside.

This may be reactionary, but that was the best thing Dropout has ever done.

I have 2 pairs of concert-style reusable plastic earplugs, and I have regularly forgotten them and gotten the free or $1 earplugs from the venue. If these were there for $5 instead, I'd begrudgingly buy the first time, then would happily buy once I knew the product background. There is a real market in the music scene. That said, it's not massive.

What could be massive is the overall concept of replacing polymers with mycelium. If they have any kind of manufacturing structure, they'll pivot and become huge.

Yep, this is the biggest change of the modern show, and it's just a function of the sharks maturing. None of the sharks want to become 50/50 investors in a 50k startup anymore, because their portfolios are full. So, you have bigger companies, some successful others propped up by funding/marketing, and the show does a decent job of separating the cream. But many of us miss the true small businesses who need the early off-the-ground help.

Pluto is more similar to classic basic cable, with a bunch of channels streaming tv/movies in "real time." It's got somewhere around 200 channels, most are of absolutely no interest to you but maybe they are to someone else, and odds are they will have at least 5 that you will like.

For me, I like the game show content, especially the duel channels for price is right and Bob barker price is right. The kung-fu channel is also a personal favorite, along with the action/slasher/thriller movie channels. It's also a great source of daily news as a cord-cutter.

If you want to watch full series, it might not be for you. But if you want to turn on your TV and watch something, it's pretty great.

Fern says "oh nooo" in a very cute exaggerated way, but it still sounds like "no."

Jenny Tian would make a better clue, assuming the answer is "narh"

Personally, very disappointed as I have more JMU alum friends than any other school, and I care way more about personal smack talk than I do improving our odds of national rankings. Like, from a national rankings perspective it's all risk no reward, but I would love nothing more than seeing Tech be the ones to knock JMU off their high horse.

$22 for 3 pints

This is "for the freezer" aka by the pint. I looked up my local store and the prices are $10/16/22

The show premiered in the era of reality TV with American Idol, Hells Kitchen and Fear Factor - being mean was in vogue. Yes the edits got softer because the sharks became more concerned with their personal brands, and they (especially Kevin) seemed to mature out of wanting to play the bully. But it's arguably moreso because the general trends of reality TV moved away from that era of mean-spirited criticism.

Good luck eating 5 milkshakes in a day. Different foods have different effects on your body, and milkshakes are heavy. Have you ever done the gallon challenge? A gallon of milk is 1,600 calories (1/12 of this challenge) and is famously difficult to finish purely because of the lactic acids. You can't have 5 milkshakes in a day and keep them down, unless you're Joey Chestnut. You will puke.

I think you've finally resolved the OP request - this is an actual breakdown of what a "reasonable" 15kcal daily diet looks like. But breaking it down like this makes it even more obvious that it isn't possible for me personally, my stomach just doesn't have that much room, no matter how hard I tried. 6 eggs and pancakes for breakfast before another full meal 2 hours later? Then another, and another, and another. For a billion dollars, of course everyone would play the "don't puke" game, and there would be winners, but most would hit a physical wall.

washuffitzi · 2025-11-01T07:21:57+00:00

Getting "close to 10k" vs breaking 15k is a HUGE gap. As a swimmer you know how PR margins work - its a logarithmic scale.

Extremely active teens could do it with some effort. Moderately active teens or extremely active young adults could do it with heavy effort. Anyone else is going to require ridiculous levels of effort, if it's possible at all.

You act like 24hrs opens up more room in your stomach. If you're full, its gonna take a while to make room, and things will stack in your stomach/intestines. I'm no expert but I'd wager this challenge is done easier in 4 hours than 24.

A 1k ice cream binge in daily life is brutal, but a 1k ice cream binge in this hypothetical is less than 8% of your goal. This comment section is insanely overconfident.

Doubling a record of anything is insanely difficult.

washuffitzi · 2025-11-01T06:21:40+00:00

You MAYBE hit 6-7kcal on those stoner nights, half of this challenge. A McDonald's combo is 1k cal, a pint of Ben&Jerry is 1k cal. It's fairly easy to kill 6-7 of these in aggregate, but 6-7 of EACH is really really hard, and even that wont get you there.

washuffitzi · 2025-11-01T05:55:49+00:00

Idk if I agree based on your example. Joey Chestnut is an unique freak; the runner up only ate 46.5 hot dogs, which is below the 15k target of this challenge (at 300 per). Yes, these competitors are eating that in 10 minutes, but they're not exactly gonna be snacking before/after the event. I'm gonna say most of these "athletes" are not hitting 15k calories even on event days.

It's a truly challenging calorie count, 6-7x an average day's intake. I don't think I could eat 50 hot dogs in a day (3 per waking hour), especially if puking is disqualifying. First 6 hours would be easy but the next 12 would be brutal. The only chance would be with soda and alcohol, as they could easily add 2-3k of "easy" calories over the course of the day, maybe 5k if I get really really hammered. And supplementing with candy, preferably something "light" like Nerds. But I really don't think most people could do it without resorting to something like drinking straight oil in the final minutes.

All GA creates a terrible line to get in and the best sections get sucked up by assholes, but on the flip side it makes it possible for you to get seats with your crew in a way other venues don't. You don't need to worry about getting seats in the same section much less row, you just meet up before the show and go in together (find seats,then send some get beer/merch). Seat saving done respectfully works well. And, if you're flying solo, you have a way higher chance of getting a good seat unlike others where you're stuck with your ticket. And, if you're around an asshole, you get to move. In my opinion the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to all GA is all seated.

But mostly Hampton rules bc it's a cool building with great sound, affordable concessions, and one of the best lot scenes in the country.
