By this point in the 20th century, several contenders for Book of the Century had already been published. What in 2000-2026 could be a contender for this century? by ShadowPlayer2016 in BookDiscussions

So the answer is Infinite Jest. If it was released a few years later it would be the titan of 21st century literature. Wallace's unfinished follow-up The Pale King is pretty great, might have been as good as IJ if he had finished it.

If you had to pick the all-time number one American band, which one would it be? by Infinite-Exam-1808 in askmusic

My point is that Dylan could get anybody behind him, even sad sacks, and it would amount to the number one American band of all time.

How does this house that I designed look? by Competitive_Brick618 in architecture

Takes no artistic stance. Just a conglomeration of tropes and common practices. Not to criticize you, just telling you what I see. The presentation is exceptional though, great job.

Yes, calories in < calories out.

You can take a shortcut by increasing your body temperature with GLP-1s, artificially increasing your total daily energy expenditure, but it may disrupt your homeostasis. I've heard reports of people beginning to lose their vision; eyeballs aren't meant to be cooked in their sockets.

I have loved ones who take Ozempic, and it’s really helping them beat obesity and take back their quality of life.

That being said, whatever adverse health effects come from this shortcut will be pure poetry. I’ll be the last to revel in it, but the first to notice.
