If you don't take the impacts of people like Jordan Peterson or Ben Sharpiro seriously and just brush them off as (the) idiots (they are)

Long read about Jordan Peterson and how his meatriders behave.

You should still take them seriously as a threat.

A peer of mine was going on about how women are chosing the wrong path. I asked him what path he thought was the wrong one, knowing it'd be your standard woman hating nonsense. Which it was. He said that women not getting married or having children was "the wrong path."

I told him that generally childless single women are the happier demographic. He laughed and asked for a source. I didn't have an answer because MULTIPLE sources say that. Literally all you have to do is like.. Search it up and most of the sources say this.

I asked him HIS source, to which he said Jordan Peterson.

I told him it was foolish to take the word of just one man. A man who almost had his license revoked nonetheless, but I did not bring up that part.

He said that just because I didn't like him for a reason apparently I didn't understand (???) that doesn't discredit him.

So not only are Peterson fanboys taking everything he says seriously, but they don't even GOOGLE what he says. This guy is literally obsessed with JP and takes him very seriously. He also fits the "troubled young man without a father" mold too.

JP is so fucking evil praying on vulnerable young men like this, and his peers do it too.

100 years ago the bullshit health tinctures had cocaine or opium or 50% ABV in them but now our bullshit health cures are just celery juice or apple cider vinegar and no fun stuff. Our modern snake oil also doesn’t cure you of anything either but at least the old got them high or drunk or helped them focus.

I could pretty confidently equalate that the pieces of media I consumed late into the night are also the ones that altered my brain chemistry forever.

But 1 isn't a big sample size...

So become my lab rats and tell me if this theory applies to you too. pls.

Great examples of critical thinking and knowledge

Darwin was a fraud. His grandfather was a huge advocate of Common Descent and THAT is what Darwin was writing about, NOT evolution. Darwin did not believe in evolution. He did eventually use the word but he MISUSED IT. What he meant by evolution was exactly what those who later REJECTED evolution adopted.

Google: lysenkoism.

It's pseudo scientific RUBBISH, this lysenkoism, and it's what Darwin believed only he called his theory "Pangenesis." THAT was Darwin's "Theory" and it was rubbish.

Truth is that Darwin originated nothing, not even his "Pangenesis." It was all plagiarized from others. Misunderstood, badly explained if not plain mischaracterized but plagiarized as best as he could.

Darwin was so bad, such a fraud that his biggest "Contribution" to science was no "Evolution" but in his being responsible for HOLDING BACK science for some 20 years! See, though Darwin himself was lucky if he peed without staining his socks yellow, a man by the name of Mendel cracked the mystery of inheritance. And Darwin, being an utter fraud, after he because the name and face of Naturalism just sort of threw away Mendel. Truth is, and this is the truth, Darwin couldn't understand what Mendel was saying ("MATH IS HARD!") so he just threw it aside.

But, again, Darwin was a fraud. He didn't just steal from others (and misrepresent everything) but he appears to have often destroyed the evidence: Correspondences that vanished.

If anyone really cares about science and, let's face it, they don't but, if anyone ever decides to care about science they need to start by scrubbing the hideous spot that is Darwin from classrooms.

How many calories would Steve and Bucky burn while having sex?

How the hell did we get here? Well I made a new workout plan I titled “save a horse ride a supersoldier” and then got curious about it while talking to @fandomfluffandfuck, so take this cleaner calculation

Really, we could do these calculations for any super soldier, probably any enhanced person, but at least in the MCU, we only seem to have any information for the 1940s strains of the super soldier serum. Steve and Bucky each have one of those and got the best possible results with their method of administration. So we’ll go with that, and of course assume they have sex with each other, both doing at least some work

We know and can account for:

Their heights (not needed but interesting) and weights (Bucky’s metal arm or rather lack of arm skews his weight, see later)

That one throwaway line of Steve’s metabolism being 4x faster than the average man’s, meaning he can’t get drunk (needs a lot of/very strong alcohol) and would need to eat a lot (why was that never explored, how would a super soldier survive in war?)

The fandom having decided that they can go round after round for as long as they want or need

We don’t know for sure and have to compensate for at the end:

Assuming they’ve got a healing factor outside of their sped up metabolism (and we don’t do the “Bucky’s serum is weaker” thing here, it’s decidedly not), their bodies healing themselves in fast motion. Taking care of micro abrasions, bruises, scratches, hickeys and so on

Any other enhancement through the super soldier serum that we don’t actually know (much) about (i.e. their immune systems, the density of their muscle mass and so on)

What kind of filthy, kinky, athletic af sex they’re actually having. Even something as “light” as wall sex would burn more calories than missionary love making

The MCU fandom wiki gives 6'2'' and 240lbs for Steve and 5'11''-6' and 182lbs for Bucky. I genuinely don't believe the weight it gives on Bucky is accurate, (and I have more than one bone to pick with the wiki in general) so I'm gonna assume it's without the arm (and even so it seems very low). We'll use this as is for the calculation but like- no. The metal arm, its weight and the neural network that makes it functional, would add not only considerably to his weight but the extra strain and effort would also most likely make up for his arm's metabolic rate

This calculator gives us 432kcal burned for a person of Steve's weight, 328kcal for a person of Bucky's weight, per hour. The website uses what seems to be the agreed upon formula of kcal = time (min) × 4.5 × body weight (lbs)/150. Another calculator gives 305kcal burned for a person of Steve's weight and 231kcal for a person of Bucky's weight, per hour.

Multiplying those values by 4 to account for the metabolism enhancement, we get 1728kcal and 1312kcal respectively for the first and 1220kcal and 924kcal respectively for the second calculator

At this point, we can probably assume that all the unknown variables we've got are going to push all these numbers up at least a bit. For the sake of staying pseudo scientific, let's just round them up to the next 100 and drop the calculator that is less dependable for our final roundup:

Steve and Bucky would burn approximately 1800kcal and 1400kcal respectively per hour of sex they're having. This assumes a metabolism 4x as fast as the average human male's and enhanced stamina to have sex of the same intensity for that long. These numbers correspond to the basal metabolic rate of a large number of people.
