Exercu posted:It is a bot posting all words in the english language alphabetically. The last word was Zymurgy, but because of a coding oversight, é is further along than z. So after Zymurgy, the next word was Éclair. Ok, didn't know about the alphabetically part. Wonder how many more we will get then.

Why he even bothered making this when there are literally dozens of meal-replacement and supplement drinks developed by trained, experienced dietitians and biologists is beyond me.

Excels posted:That sorta goes against his whole mantra about how Soylent is "life after food". How joyless must your life be if you want to cut out eating? I love cooking a delicious meal or going out with my family to a restaurant. It's so  to think eating is entirely about getting nutrition for your body. Maybe if you've had your jaws wired shut because of some horrible accident or there's some other medical reason you can't eat, but just because eating is 'hassle'? Also, what does that stuff do to your shits? Do you even poop anymore? Isn't that going to lead to bowel cancer and other horrible things?

It's so I think the guy who invented it has admitted that he was definitely on the autism spectrum and made it because he became obsessed with nutrition without eating. Practically, it probably has great applications for people who suffer from extreme allergies or eating disorders. The thought of drinking it makes me gag, though.

No, because: Dienes posted:Why he even bothered making this when there are literally dozens of meal-replacement and supplement drinks developed by trained, experienced dietitians and biologists is beyond me. As the guy above me said, this poo poo already exists. There are tons of people who can't or won't eat solid food, or need ultra low residue meal replacement nutrition. There is a different meal replacement goo for every situation, from regular people who just want/need a liquid diet, to weight loss aids, extreme allergy meal replacements, long term coma patients, people without a working oespophagous, cancer patients, people who have had gastric band surgery, or people who have had various parts of their intestine removed or rendered non functional. Whatever this guy wants, it already exists in a form that has been developed scientifically by qualified experts, tested, refined and is actually functional as a meal replacement. This guy is trying to replicate those decades of work without any expertise or understanding of human nutritional needs: he's reinventing the wheel but thinks maybe circles aren't the way to go and has anyone tried a square? also calling it Soylent is stupid unless it's either made from people or from a mixture of soy and lentils (which was the etymology for Soylent in the movie and what it was purported to be made of)

I can't remember what red and yellow were supposed to be, but I think those had already progressed away from the soy/lentil base too.

It's so Maybe some people have different interests than you, and find cooking extremely tedious, and food itself kinda boring. If there was a simple, cheap, and effective meal replacement I'd probably never eat a normal breakfast or lunch again. Plus, just because you want to replace some of your meals doesn't mean your a weirdo who will never eat a meal with their family. All that said, this specific example of a meal replacement is laughably terrible.

I've been in situations where having some sort of meal replacements that didn't take up much space and didn't require refrigeration would have been great. (Or at least better than the alternative, cargo ship food made by a cook who regularly hosed up hot dogs) Of course, there are already a number of commercially available solutions to that problem, that have been proven to reliably not kill people or damage their internal organs.

I posted something about how dumb it is for people to be criticizing Lebron James for coming out of game 1 of the NBA Finals due to severe cramping. In the middle of all the world class athletes that I know (read: none) continuing to call him a pussy was this gem. I know for a fact this guy is being dead serious. http://imgur.com/4Vy22Qf.jpg

Any hockey player who tried to leave the ice in the Stanley cup finals for loving cramps would have been laughed out of the NHL. Baby Bronbron should take some midol and harden the gently caress up.

The guy also took a shitload of anti-cramping pills and just physically couldn't move anymore. A dude on Twitter summed it up perfectly saying something like, every professional athlete: supporting LeBron, every dude who gets winded carrying groceries inside: calling him out.

Trying to "play through" a cramp is a great way to get seriously injured. Kind of important for athletes to not get injured.

If anything, the comparison to hockey just makes hockey players sound really dumb. I mean I dont' know the rules to either game in relation to stuff like this, but if you're at a disadvantage because of an injury, substituting you for a player that isn't is just logical. I can't imagine that a player with a broken leg is going to play especially well.

I don't know about infection, but playing something as high impact as hockey on a broken leg sounds like a good way to never be able to walk on that leg again.

Hockey as a sport is still deeply entrenched in tough-guy mentality (one of the appeals to me personally, but yeah that macro is dumb.) It was only recently that the last player not required to wear a face shield actually aged out of play. If it wasn't required to wear one (helmet/shield/mouthguard, whatever) when you signed your contract, they can't make you start. Watch "Slapshot" or Knuckles on netflix... Ones a comedy and ones a documentary, gives a lot of insight into the mentality of hockey players. My boyfriend was almost a pro hockey player, until a torn MCL took him out for nine months of rehab and he could never recover his speed in skating. He has a full bridge, part of his ear missing and a repaired finger from where someone nearly bit it off. The game is actually really complicated, much more a game of chess than checkers, but there is a distinct element of violence and physicality.
