Damn, yeah that is incredibly fucked up. I'm surprised they haven't become endangered yet.

To be fair your approach doesn't sound very healthy either (from a psychological perspective, I mean). I'm not trying to chew you out or anything, it just reminded me of my past self who was so rigid about my diet it was basically an eating disorder. If you're generally consistent, eat well and work out, you can have a doughnut from time to time. You don't have to "redeem" for your doughnut with sit-ups. You should enjoy doing the sit-ups, not treat them as a punishment.
Sorry, I don't want to rant on you here, it just reminds me a lot of my ED and I don't want other people falling into that crap. I was in hell for years because going on a rigid diet slowed down my metabolism and whenever I tried to eat normally, my weight shot up. I managed to get over it and now I'm eating (almost) normally AND weigh less than before, and that's with a lot more muscle mass. It doesn't have to be hard to be effective.

So apparently the OG snake oil was made from Chinese water snakes. If they're more adapted to an aquatic environment, they might have more body fat than the average snake, I guess? From what I've read, there is some evidence that water snake oil helps with joint pain. But it's definitely not a cure-all as the quacks claimed. And also they later made the oil from rattlesnakes that don't have a much of the Omega-3 fatty acids at all.
(Maybe not so) fun fact: did you know that these travelling "medicine" shows that sold snake oil (among other things) are pretty much the direct ancestor of modern MLM companies? Equal in quackery and exploitation!

I would LOVE to see a depiction of dinosaurs where they honk like a goose. I hope some documentary makes that happen one day.

Inside of you there are two wolves, one is a child who wants to go on adventures and the other is an old lady who wants to go to bed.

One of the reasons why old photographs look so serious and stilted is because the pictures took up to a few minutes to take. The picture looks sharp meaning he had to keep that pose for some time, which is honestly really impressive. Assuming it's real, of course. Always believe everything you see on the internet.

Hey, you're not off the mark. I'd LOVE to see a good adaptation of the original Vampire: the Masquerade board game.
But then that wouldn’t fit their agenda 30 comments

I might be misremembering but wasn't the main issue during the AIDS crisis the lack of information about the disease as well as the poor quality of sex education that didn't teach people about protection and only ever preached abstinence? The latter is still a thing in many states so it seems the root of the issue wasn't entirely resolved.

Some people mockingly call it Voodoo economics, but I think that's inaccurate and downright disrespectful.
Voodoo has a much more solid empirical basis and longer tradition than Trickle down economics, and can be a great source of spirituality and community. Overall, Voodoo has provided a million times more value to people than the half baked excuse for the 1% to keep dodging their taxes and feel somewhat morally justified doing it we call "Trickle down economics".

Yeah that's why I prefer single player. Trying to relax only to be harassed by smurfs, gankers, griefers and other A-holes just isn't worth it. These days I usually play RimWorld which to me is the right mix between chill and keeping you on your toes.

Wait didn't it originally have legs? To be fair it's been a while since I read Paradise Lost so idk how closely it followed the biblical myth, but I think the Serpent had legs in the original biblical story.
