34Narrator: "They talked him into it and he took the bait like a quintessential senile boomer."
We should treat people who say "Iran did 10-7" the way they did us for saying "Israel did 9-11"
Yeah, we can tell
4/5 fag flags was a bit much
We doing British food horrors now?
whereβs that video that flashes the words βfamineβ and βpestilenceβ over pictures of British foods? π
If I wasn't sick I could go for beans and chips rn
I could always eat fish n chips. Itβs my go to Friday meal when not eating at home. But still the memes are worth laughing at
Im game for haggis, Scotland redeems the Britcuck cringe as usual
I would probably like a haggis
But Haggis is like the horror movie version of food tho?
I actually really like haggis, but liver and onions was a staple meal when we could afford liver at our house as a child. Itβs just poor people food with the marginal bits (thatβs not a criticism) π€·πΌββοΈ
Organ meats are usually the second cheapest meat you can get behind ground trimmings.
Organ meat has the most micronutrients though. Liver supposedly has testosterone precursors in it
It does. We should be eating it on occasion. Not too often that's how you get gout
Im super skeptical on the gout claims. I think processed carbs are a much likelier cause than rich meats.
Allegedly the organ meat raises your uric acid levels.
Jared Leto needed to gain a bunch of weight for a role so he gorged himself on carbs and got gout. When he cut out the carbs the gout went away.
Yeah, part of why I thought it held water is medieval medical texts discuss that. Given how long the assumption had been around it seemed solid.
You'd be amazed when you dig deep how often theyre just wild ass guesses.
You got ghosts in your blood your Majesty! You should smoke opium about it!
Now that's medicine I can get behind
Dude I've been slowly reading through the last 100 years of medicine and its insane how much of medicine before the 80s was just "Take these narcotics and if that doesn't work we've got no idea". They were giving people laudanum and hoping for the best
"The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease."
IDK where this comes from but it's old: "With allopathy (modern medicine) the patient dies from the cure, with homeopathy he dies from the disease"
I joke but the issue with modern medicine is that the massive groundbreaking humane advancements (antibiotics, safe general anesthesia making all types of surgery possible, MRI/CT/angiography revolutionizing radiology, typed and crossmatched blood transfusions) are always overshadowed by infinite quackery

With the exception of computer science, all science is like this.
You've got people like Robert Maxwell intentionally trying to make things worse - but then you also have these supposed "scientists" who are total princesses and throw a bitch fit if someone finds an experiment that doesn't fit their grand theory. And then the universities and research centers do not fund great scientists, they fund great politicians who theater play as scientists.
The only reason I think CS manages to not get drowned in bullshit is because it's code, and when you send someone your code, they run it, and if it doesn't work, everybody knows instantly.
Axel Keys was another one. He really and truly believed animal saturated fats were bad for you but he could never prove it no matter how many taxpayer funded studies he did and then hid the results

1But the majority of this little book is just one experiment after another that have been done before, have been reproduced, and yet cannot be explained by mainstream physics.
Now this is fine, it's okay have unknowns, but the fact that these things are NOT taught in school, and the physics community has decided to kind of pretend they don't exist, makes it impossible to take anyone in academia the slightest bit seriously.
And this is physics, supposedly the MOST serious branch of academia - and even they are acting like they can make facts go away by pretending they don't exist.
If I was king, I'd send a copy of this book to the dean of every university - along with the letter saying they're being defunded, effective immediately.
