Fun fact, ancient cultures were able to prove the Earth was round with two sticks and the sun. In fact, no one thought Christopher Columbus would sail over the edge. They didn't want to fund his voyage because they thought he had grossly UNDER estimated the circumference.

True, only "food!" elicited an excited response in my cat

The fact he is so widely depicted this way still is ridiculous

Especially when, you don´t know why you are being yelled at or know you are right and till get a slap. It´s taken me 40+ years

Well, there are a couple of people who are so stupid, I believe even Darwin would take a second guess.

B*****d

The Japanese eat eggs all the time and live to be 100 +

Some "alpha males" won't like such news.

Improper training and lazy owners cause the problem, not the doggie.

Science works like an open mind - it changes with new information.

First thing that came to mind after reading "BP" was that Bored Panda invented carbon footprint...

The anecdotal and experiential evidence points to a strong genetic link. And yet, for many different people and cultures worldwide, sexual orientation is a spectrum rather an either/or over their lifetimes. Is there a genetic predisposition to Bi-Pan-A sexualities as well?

And the batteries ....

Ah, time to get that cheesecake...

Hallelujah brother!! Testify 🤲

The people that make me laugh are those that say they can't eat any Chinese food because of this but are perfectly fine making chicken stock from chicken bouillon. Guess what makes bouillon so tasty?

It's funny how there are always people who argue against this with comments like "too much is bad for you" as if too much of anything, even literally water, is bad for you. If you get headaches, that doesn't mean MSG is bad for you. It may mean you have an allergy or sensitivity to it and not that it's unhealthy. Why people need to apply personal experiences for general statements will always be moronic to me. You having an allergy to something does not mean it's not perfectly healthy. Obviously nobody is talking about your specific issue with an item and doesn't make that item not 'perfectly healthy' as a general statement.

Unless you get the massive headaches and see blue stars in the middle of the day.

I'm happy to accept this if y'all can accept that we can be allergic to it. Tit for tat. I'm straight up allergic. It sucks. I know damn well the food tastes good. I just can't touch it.

Yeah I remember that still being hardcore railed against when I was in primary school years ago.

I wouldn't say "perfectly healthy". Like salt, too much is bad for you

Not if you're allergic to it !

It may not be unhealthy for your stomach but it is very unhealthy for your brain. I triggers the reward sensors in your mind and drives your cravings so you continue and continue to eat. There for you over eat and gain weight.

MSG is a brain toxin.

What's MSG?

I have red articles for MSG that it makes the food addictive, also making you craving for more because you don't feel full. This is causing some metabolic issues and obesity. Maybe wrong, I don't know, but I avoid it in my kitchen. I'm not delusional, when we eat out (mostly chinese food) I know that MSG is probably part of the seasoning.

Nope.

I suppose that means salt. Normal people say salt. The Guardian try and look more intellectual, with abbreviations and other fancy-schmanzy like this when articles 'demand' it and it only makes them look all the more haughty.

You can pry my sugar from my cold… dead… fingers.

Capitalism is the root cause. Profits above all!

No. Earth is a tiny, insignificant disc in space.

Sex IS NOT THE SAME HAS Gender... One is biological (no, you are male or female, and no op will change this fact - males are bioloigically different from females) and the other a social context (you can CALL yourself whatever you want - man, woman, butterfly, a TV screen, whatever, but you're still either male or female)... Sorry to spoil your party.

but going out in the cold can lower your immune system making you more likely to get sick.

Myers Briggs is horoscopes for those who think they are too smart for horoscopes. That said, I always get the same result when I take a Myers Briggs :D

Don’t get between a man baby and his beloved giant twuck. Vroom vroom.

I envy the poeple who can bike, swim, walk, run their minds clean. I personally find exercising so mindnumbingly boring that instead, my mind starts treadmilling each and every problem of the past day, week or even something that happened 20 years ago.

It CAN BE hereditary. It is not hereditary in ever instance. There are more than one ‘causes’ or catalysts to autism.

But many GMO foods are designed to be more resistant to herbicides, which means more herbicides are used in farming GMO crops. Our bodies may not be able to distinguish the GMO food from non-GMO food, but can it detect the extra herbicides? And how well do other animals (such as 'good' insects like bees and ladybirds) deal with these herbicides?

That’s because people assume that all addictions are physical, ignoring potential and very real psychological addictions. But that doesn’t change the fact that “weed” has spectacular medicinal advantages, but as with everything needs to be used responsibly and with respect.

Yeah, but "jellyfish" is easier to say. Siphonophore sounds like I'm insulting your mother.
