This is my punishment for continuing to post on GameFAQs (I only use their music boards, I swear!). This happened in a thread about B.o.B's flat earth+Holocaust denial song.

This is my first time taking screenshots and using imgur on an iPad so I apologize if anything is messed up. I believe the third and fourth images got switched.

I thought I was a reincarnated dolphin just after my parents installed an above ground pool when I was 6. I can't even imagine how hosed up I'd be now if my parents encouraged that delusion.

How can you tell if someone is a vegan? Wait for them to constantly post on facebook about how hard it is to be an upstanding, harassed vegan.
I'm not a vegan, but I'm not a big fan of cake. When someone asks me if I want cake, I often say "No thanks." and then they just don't give me any cake. :shrug:

To me, the dumbest part of this is "My daughter's a reincarnated mermaid, uhhhh what stones does she like? Why, every one I can think of with a 'watery' word in its name, of course! And also opal, the fancy creativity/inspiration water stone!"

Although, it is possible her daughter just decided she was a mermaid and picked out her own rocks because the names made sense with a mermaid theme (and opal because it's pretty). That actually makes sense.

Mythology changes over time, and sirens got conflated with mermaids. Of all the stupid things in that post, a lack of knowledge of Greek mythology is the least stupid.

That domestic abuse poster kinda reminds me of an old advert from the late 90s or early 2000s with the idea of 'Don't let rage make you do something you'll wish you hadn't". The structure was a man gets frustrated with some tiny thing and starts getting violent, and in the mirror you see his 'conscience'/future-self-looking-back, banging on the glass yelling at himself to stop. Don't know if the advert was a god one or a problematic one but it was an interesting take on the issue.

Well I mean yeah, the point is maybe don't assume fat people you don't know are all unhealthy slobs who don't deserve well-made clothing like the other comments were implying.

^ Yes, but I thought it was odd to get angry about a statement saying diet and exercise typically lead to weight loss by saying she lost weight through diet and exercise. I don't disagree with the article's sentiment, btw.

Nah, it just gets tiresome seeing the same "If fat then diet and exercise and then magically thin as a model!" as though different body types and metabolism aren't a thing. Like yeah you'll lose weight but unless you're super athletic and on a severe diet, you're probably going to hit a certain plateau, and that plateau is usually not "looks like a clothing model."

Also I really hate the "physics!" argument, since it ignores that the body has a lot of various things going on, so it's not like putting fuel in a car. Cars don't react to less fuel by reducing the amount burned and storing as much as possible.

Actually cars might be a good analogy since they burn their gasoline at wildly different levels. You can fine tune your pickup truck, get it detailed, maybe add a racing stripe - make it look drat good. But it's never going to be a Prius.

I should put that in an image macro, save and resave it 20 times in a lossy format, add a Minion, and post that poo poo to Facebook.

A lot of weight loss plateaus are actually just water weight, the subject is still losing fat but because the scale weight stays the same for weeks or months they assume they are not so give up, big water retention plateaus are probably more common and severe on larger calorie deficits. There are *some* differences between the metabolic rates of different people, but far less than you might think, and never insurmountable. I've heard +/- about 10% bandied around, about 300 calories (one candy bar/30 minutes jogging) a day.

The person who posted it normally doesn't post poo poo like that and is a teacher, so I'm thinking he accidentally let some other app post to his wall that started posting spam. I'd guess the low score is to try to bait idiots into going "I can beat that!". I like how 87 is in the top pentile, but somehow the average is 98.

19.31 is not the top percentile, it means 19.31% of people got 87 or lower.

I was more referring to people's body types. As in legitimately big boned people trying to become pixies. It's not going to happen, but there are plenty of people who beat themselves up over it.

Isn't the whole point of IQ that it's supposed to average at 100? Like, the number isn't a representation of how many "smart points" you earned, it's where you fall on the curve of everyone in a population. How would the average be 98?

Am I thinking too much about this? I am the IoSM.
