I love the F Plus and knew Lou had his own thing, but I didn't realize there was a whole universe of F Plus adjacent projects. What are good podcasts to get into, and good episodes to introduce me to them?
There's Song Crimes, which is Jimmyfranks and Cheapskate (An Actual Lawyer) discussing popular songs that admit to crimes. There are only 14 episodes and they're pretty short but funny. You can find an episode that covers a song you know or just start from the beginning.

In terms of non-ridiculist projects, I know there's the Extra Credits podcast that does the docs that F Plus don't, and there's Ephemera which is more like Radiolab-style essays about strange internet phenomena.

Some pretty weird stuff in Ephemera, thanks for the heads-up.

Mr. Show is great, but annoying people are drawn like flies to sketch comedy. See the local improv scene in every American city.

For other F Plus projects, there's Adjudicated Guess which is basically QI but the guests are dumber, and there's Irregular, which are interviews with people who are into the sorts of things you'd find on The F Plus. There's also Quite Exasperating, which is basically QI but the questions are all about poorly-written internet posts. All three are short enough that you can just start from the top.

In terms of non-ridiculist projects, I know there's the Extra Credits podcast that does the docs that F Plus don't, and there's Ephemera which is more like Radiolab-style essays about strange internet phenomena. I haven't listened to either so I can't recommend them, but I can recommend Juergen' It, which is an episode-by-episode podcast going through The Secret Life of the American Teenager, which is a teen drama so bad it frequently crosses the line into full-on absurdism. Also makes sense to start from the beginning here; the first couple episodes of the show pull some wacky poo poo.

I listened to a couple episodes of Ephemera today, and can absolutely recommend it if you like the idea of F Plus subjects being researched and presented seriously. Think of it as an internet oddity podcast instead of a comedy podcast.

Q: Can I over-Earth myself? I sleep on a full body Earthing sheet and also at times use the Earthing mat on the floor at my computer. I noticed that my toes and fingers have become very sensitive. Last night I did not earth myself and my toes are fine.

If you are taking any medications, it is possible that the normalization process could be creating a situation where the level of dosage has become excessive. The body is functioning better, so you may need less of a particular medication. This is a definite possibility. If you suspect this to be the case you should consult with your doctor and discuss the possibility of reducing medication. Please refer to our Earthing reports on our website to read about Earthing and medication. The body takes as many electrons from the Earth as it needs. It uses up electrons in many metabolic processes, including the basic process of cellular energy production, so there is always a demand for more. If you are grounding yourself on a routine basis, you are, in a sense, topping up your tank.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

"Red semen" is a beautiful phrase. It takes a special kind of poet to combine such an overwrought metaphor with such lazy literalism.

100% the same. I hate how much every post on social media is a loving scarlet letter. Not to mention in like six years someone is going to rifle through every tweet he's ever made to look for the time he was a dickhead to a stranger and held that over his head for morality points.

It's an rear end in a top hat thing to say, but like, if you're an rear end in a top hat and people around you hear you be an rear end in a top hat, generally speaking you apologize and move the gently caress on. Online it loving haunts you forever.
