I recently read that Brad Bird had no intent to make a political or ecological message with Wall-E and I am like what the fuck do you mean by this? like why would you make a movie which premise is that the world has sunk in garbage from consumerism to such a degree that humanity left Earth and...

I can't believe how good this girl can sing. The piano is tremendous too, but she's honest to God one of the best vocalists I've heard

I know everyone in this thread most likely already read it as it is part of US curriculum, but I finished reading 1984 for the first time today. Man this book was bastardized very badly by the public. Many people have said that this is a warning about communism/capitalism and have tried to...

the bkc discourse reminds me this is such a weirdly... beautiful? video? Like he filmed the city scenery without showing any faces. People are either shown from the back or their faces are not discernible through the cameras blur and the way BKC moves. There's just the street he walks down...

I do not know this man but I know that he has the secrets of life

I think the anger towards Gen Alpha humor just comes from us early Gen Z seeing what being raised from birth with the internet did to children and (hear me out) seeing the world ending through these gen alpha memes Gen Z and Millenial memes had a certain connection to reality and were created...

I suppose we all read TCBscans around here Are the swear words in the chapters translation issues, are they new in the original manga or were they always there and are only now translated? Big Mom said fuck in a God Valley chapter and a character said bitch in the newest chapter. What was the...

If you actually read the study, you'd see that the differences were relatively small, which is why the language in the very abstract you're citing is passive. And 1.6g per kg is significantly less than what you're recommending, like it makes a difference if around 25g to 50g of protein daily for...

There are new studies that show otherwise: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8978023/ The added benefits of more proteins came rather from the added calories. There are other studies that had one group that consumed excess carbs, and the other excess protein, and they had the exact same...

Yeah margarine is pretty nasty. Any hardened oils are pretty bad Look fruits are very healthy, but fruit juices destroy all the fiber and concentrate the sugar massively. Hot chocolate can be healthy if it's made from dark (70%+ cocoa) chocolate and unsweetened cocoa powder. Dark chocolate is...

Protein intake is actually vastly overrated. There is no significant benefit in any aspect of muscle building, strength or general health in consuming more than 60g of protein daily, 80g is probably the best amount to aim at when wanting to grow muscle Mind you, muscles grow incredibly slow and...

it's so fucking weird how many clanker lovers and gooners are in relationships, some of them even being married with kids. I genuinely feel like there are more of them than there are isolated and stereotypically lonely people in these spaces

season 3 of Smiling Friends really doesn't hold up. Like it's still funny and all but the only episode that really made an impression on me so far was the halloween special it just feels like it doesn't go anywhere. Frowning Friends was one of the most beloved episodes because it depicts...

fellas, how do you manage your cardio? I do 3x 45-60 minute sessions of high intensity strength training, with 30 minutes of moderate-high intensity (roughly 70-80% of max heart rate) cardio. I get around 10k steps daily too I don't know if that's enough. I can run up to 8km, jog another 5km...
