  • It’s honestly wild the difference in caloric requirements based on age and sex/gender (I don’t know how much is due to size/hormones, so I don’t know where trans people’s requirements would be) even before factoring in activity level, so it’s entirely reasonable not to realize the difference.

    And 2100 kcal per day is not safe or sustainable for almost anyone that exercises regularly.

    I’m a woman with a relatively large frame (~65kg/180cm) who used to do 14 hours of hard cardio a week. At that time, my recommendation was 2250, the first time in my life it had exceeded 2k. For smaller women, the recommendation is sometimes much lower. My stepsister is about 45kg and 155cm tall and her calculated daily calorie burn is like 1300. My ex boyfriend’s mom was told not to go over 1200, which I thought was the lower limit for humans generally- things are different when you’re a short, post-menopausal woman.

    All that is to say, it’s probably an average of 2100 calories, spread between people who need on average 1400-1800 calories and those who need 2000-2400


  • Going out food is also a potential culprit for hangovers without alcohol. I used to live in a place where domino’s was the only place that delivered and it took me until about the third non-drinking hangover I got after getting pizza to realize it was the salt.

    That’s also why people report headaches, nausea, and dizziness after eating MSG, imo. It’s not anything to do with the MSG itself, just dehydration from the sodium that would cause the same issues if they’d ingested it in the form of table salt.



  • Oh, that’s way different. I read “exposing someone to genitalia, anus, or female breast (provided it’s deliberate)” and took that literally, which would be insane. It needing to be sexual is much more reasonable.

    That was the point of my comment, that sexuality should not always be assumed by the exposure of body parts.




  • You could rework this one to make a joke that works (though it’s not hilarious or anything, just standard bad dad joke levels)

    I was judging saw [it feels like unless you’re a guest on a panel show, this is a more natural way to open] a finger-counting contest, and it was incredibly close.
    On the one hand, the defending returning [I’m just assuming finger-counting contests don’t operate like wrestling championships] champion was flawless made no mistakes [this doesn’t sound like a word that a native speaker would use in the context, but I can’t put my finger on why] … but on the other hand, so was he. they didn’t make any either!



  • When I was five, my dad had a business trip to Orlando and he stayed a few days extra so my mom could come with and they could go to a show at Disney. It was their first trip alone together in at least fifteen years and I completely understand why they wanted that now that I’m an adult.

    They definitely could have just said that they were going to Florida though, because five year old me did not get it and was super put out about the whole thing.

    Bringing only some siblings is a whole different ball game though, even without the tickets being rightfully yours










  • I’m like this at work, but I have great (distant) relationships with my coworkers. I also work like a dog because I enjoy it, so that might have something to do with it.

    I will grant you, I do greet people on my own and ask after their families/health if it’s been a long time or if there was something going on. That’s because I’m trying to be polite but not friendly and it works beautifully.


  • Dicks are normally more visible when aroused, but vaginas sometimes make it look like you’ve pissed yourself. Appearance aside, wet underwear is pretty uncomfortable and can lead to skin irritations. As to why the place that gets wet is the same place that grows coarse hair and slightly moves whenever you walk? Curse of Eve, I guess.

    It might just be that the grass is greener, but I’d prefer to tuck an erection into my waistband than deal with soaked underwear. Absolutely no envy about balls though, they seem very uncomfortable all around.
