Gym is derived from the Greek word 'gymno' meaning naked. This is a true fact brought to you by the you don't need kit to get fit association

Not to continue the derail but just as one final point; it's not just about water, obviously. The thing about microagressions is that it builds from many different sources. So you'll have the water jugs, and the deliberate wearing of sleeveless shirts to show the size of their muscles and with all these things together a very clear threat / dominance display is made. Why would anyone want to be around people who are trying to hurt and frighten them?

Wait so people being buff in a gym is intimidating? How do...the people who have this problem like go outside, that's the whole point of a gym. I'm a fat loser and when I tried going to a gym people being swole didn't "intimidate" me out of not going back, I didn't go back because I'm a lazy piece of poo poo.

But the Quip is the only ADA recommended subscription toothbrush! And if you sign up now at getquip.com/jfcyougoonsareinsane you can get $5 off your first order!

Seriously though. This might possibly be the dumbest derail I've seen recently.

I used BlueApron for a few years and loved it. You still do all the cooking, but they portion it all out for you. It makes less sense now that I've got a kid, but not having to plan and shop for 3 or 4 days a week was rad.

Blue Apron and similar meal subscription services have a role, I guess, for people who don't know how to cook, want to learn how to cook, don't know where to start, and also have the disposable income to have it simplified for them like that.

Me and my girlfriend tried blue apron, for someone who barely if ever made anything more complicated than an omelette it was useful for learning stuff and getting some recipes and ideas, but my parents also refused to let me use an oven until I was 17 so I might be in a unique situation.

I am not a pro Baker but I don't think you stack a four layer cake without anything holding each layer together.

You definitely wouldn't want to do it when each layer is made of three rings Frankensteind together.

Not sure I'd be okay with eating chocolate and Vaseline as much as these people are either

They aren't simple recipes, they are just put together for you. The cooking is real and the food is generally great. We used it to avoid having to go to the store and deal with leftovers, but yeah it is expensive.

There's a scene in the comedy green wing where the women in the office are drinking water and trying to one-up each other, for the life of me I can't find it though. It's all I can picture when people talk about aggressively drinking water.

This is one of the best gym convo openers when you chat with a stranger at the gym. They either get it and you both have a chuckle and something in common, or they get really upset and you immediately know there's no common ground for socialization.

Discussing the merits of avocado as a vegan/veg source of lipids is a distant second. Health freaks have a lot to say about avocados.

I know people have mostly moved on but I just want to say that the only time the Lunk alarm went off while I was in Planet Fitness I had my headphones on, so I didn’t hear the alarm. I did, however, hear the enormous grunt that prompted it.

Agreed. People don't really consider the sheer noise of it and how startling it can be. If a heavy weight is dropped from the resultant shock, significant injury can easily occur.

Planet Fitness doesn't have heavy weights. They have machines and treadmills with the "calories-per-mile" counter cranked way up.

But, yes, the lunk alarm is cool and good for their clientele.

Also the calories tracker on those treadmills is just fine according to my step tracker app. There's nothing incongruous about it.

The dumbbells go up to at least 60 pounds, the squat racks and barbells to several hundred, and stuff like the leg press to 300+. The only stuff you're not going to be able to do is something like a 700 pound deadlift.

This is another thing that varies from one location to the next. Some places have normal weights, some max out at 60 pounds, some don't have squat racks at all, etc.
