Yeah you can see it on the gilded classes gold-and-shit encrusted asses.

lolcatnip, in The future is here.

Who’s that dude and why is he standing next to a William Gibson quote?

Viking_Hippie,

Dale Earnhardt Sr and because leftists from the South decided that he was too good to let the fascists co-opt him like they do with all other southern things, so they beat them to it.

What makes him “too good”? I’m confused by this

Viking_Hippie, (edited )

He was just a very talented and seemingly likeable person who a lot of people loved and admired. The fact that he died young trying to win a race* probably added to his regional hero status.

You’d probably need to understand how big a deal NASCAR really is in some parts of the South to fully get it 🤷

*death actually even MORE badass, see the reply below

He didnt die trying to win, he died blocking for his teammate who was in 1st and his son who was in 2nd on the final lap of the Daytona 500 (the biggest race in NASCAR) his final words were, “Look at them boys go.”

Viking_Hippie,

Ok that’s MORE badass 😁

I’m from the south, and I do get how big NASCAR is. I took “too good” to mean morally. Makes sense after reading the reply below.

sexy_peach, in Did it hurt? 🙄

Yes it did.

MeowyNinhaj, in It always does.

Ibuprofen does not reduce a fever, it reduces inflammation. Tylenol would have made this meme work

Edit: I was wrong

    Nevermind that Tylenol’s effective ingredient is paracetamol, which is also “just” an anti-inflammatory.

    biddy,

    Paracetamol is not considered an anti-inflammatory.

    BarrelAgedBoredom,

    Take both at the same time. They’re synergistic and will reduce pain, inflammation, and fever better than a higher dose of each by themselves

    Dude I was providing some useful information because not everyone knows everything all the time and it may help someone while they’re hurting dude lol. I was merely expanding on the topic dude. No need to be a condescending ass guy lol

    Tylenol is a brand of acetaminophen, which is bad for your liver.

    CaptainFortissimo,

    Can’t ibuprofen also damage your liver?

    PrimeErective,

    My understanding is that ibuprofen is processed in the kidneys, and if Tylenol was up for FDA approval today it would go down in flames due to safety concerns

    Nurse_Robot,

    It’s metabolized by your liver, so is fat. It has a safe and therapeutic dosage range.

    1847953620,

    I am bad for my liver.

    LilB0kChoy,

    Ibuprofen (or NSAIDs in general) is bad for the liver as well and worse for the kidneys.

    Edit: confused kidneys and liver.

    Karyoplasma, (edited )

    Aspirin is bad for your liver as well, especially for kids. It disrupts the electron transport chain in the Krebs cycle which leads to fatty acids not being converted and since they don’t belong into the mitochondria, they are expunged into small deposits in the liver. It’s called microvesicular steatosis, or more commonly called fat liver.

    The first sentence on ibuprofens wikipedia page under “Medical uses”:

    Ibuprofen is used primarily to treat fever

    Anti-inflammatories reduce fevers, are there even anti-inflammatories that don’t have that effect to some extent?

    Rodeo,

    So I was about to correct you that Tylenol is actually acetaminophen; turns out paracetamol is just another name for the same chemical. TIL

    MentalEdge,
    @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Huh. I didn’t know that either.

    SpiderShoeCult,

    they both come from the chemical name - para-acetylamino-phenol (or, more proper, N-acetyl-para-aminophenol). random people chose different parts to shorten the name

    Nurse_Robot,

    I’ll be damned, I was almost certain it wasn’t an antipyretic, but it looks like I was wrong. Thanks for correcting me.

    You didn’t need to use such condescending language though, there was no need to be rude.

    Ya_Boy_Skinny_Penis,

    When you post wrong information online you’re responsible for perpetuating idiocy. Someone who had better things to do had to go out of their way, waste their time, to correct you.

    Think before you post.

    Nurse_Robot,

    I made a mistake on a public forum, I was corrected, then I edited my post to acknowledge my mistake.

    Your comment suggests that no one should ever make a mistake. Your comment is an insult to the very nature of human behavior, that mistakes are an inevitably, and should be embraced and understood.

    Your comment is insulting and naive, and shows your lack of development beyond a typical teenage cynic. For your sake, I genuinely hope you’re in your teenage years, because otherwise the likelihood of you developing into an empathetic functioning adult isn’t great.

    Ya_Boy_Skinny_Penis,

    You can try to minimize your stupidity, but spreading blatant, easily-researched misinformation is way more than an innocent mistake."

    The fact that you feel compelled to make excuses for something you just never should have typed in the first place (embrace your stupid, unnecessary lie? Are you serious?)

    What we need to teach people is that they don’t need to chime in to online conversations with unsolicited lies.

    Nurse_Robot,

    You’re a nasty little troll. It does make me smile to think about how miserable you must be though.

    Ya_Boy_Skinny_Penis,

    Aw shucks, another situation where the truth would make you sad

    MentalEdge,
    @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

    Apologies. I do think making it sting a little when correcting someone on something they should have double checked, is warranted, if for no other reason than to make it clear to others reading which take to go home with.

    But in response to your edit I’ve softened my correction as well.

    SpiderShoeCult,

    Paracetamol is not anti-inflammatory in any serious context, which is to say taking paracetamol to reduce actual inflammation (think gout or rheumatoid arthritis) is more or less useless. From the wikipedia article on paracetamol:

    Paracetamol inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by reducing the active form of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. This occurs only when the concentration of arachidonic acid and peroxides is low. Under these conditions, COX-2 is the predominant form of cyclooxygenase, which explains the apparent COX-2 selectivity of paracetamol. Under the conditions of inflammation, the concentration of peroxides is high, which counteracts the reducing effect of paracetamol. Accordingly, the anti-inflammatory action of paracetamol is slight.

    It is, however, an analgesic.

    peopleproblems,

    Man what is pain relief anyway

    And yet they still use king George’s foot as a unit of measurement, curious.

    Johandea,

    A foot is defined as 0,3048 meter. They use the metric system, but with a conversion.

    jawa21,

    Miles, feet, and inches are all base 12 - just saying.

    pingveno,

    It would be awesome to have a base-12 number system paired with a base-12 measurement system. It’s just so much nicer to deal with than metric or imperial. So many measurements would become much easier. Take length. You could have the base measurement be equal to a meter, then use 1/3 meter sticks as roughly equivalent to a 1 foot ruler.

    Probably wouldn’t be that bad if it was real, like a sweet Italian with extra fennel

    Simplified English vs Traditional English

    pingveno,

    It’s not even that. At the time they split, English wasn’t as standardized. You can see it looking back in the Lewis and Clark expedition journals written by Meriwether Lewis. He doesn’t even have consistency in his own writing, and he was no country bumpkin.

    gravitas_deficiency,

    Thank you, kind sir.

    VikingHippie,

    No problem 🙂

    JokeDeity, in Five apps😅 not so many for me

    It’s not helpful in any way, but I do not experience boredom. You can leave me with a computer in a room for 2 years and when you come to collect me I’ll just tell you to turn the light off and go away.

    Leaving you alone in a room with a computer for 2 years is not a good thing tho. 😶

    tygerprints, in Yummy

    I could make so many jokes about black wieners here. But this does seem like sacrilege, making hot dogs licorice flavored.

    I can't wait until they come out with hot-dog flavored licorice for the 4th of July.

    Slow,

    Is it possible to joke about hot dogs with this color?)

    tygerprints,

    Is it possible NOT to? : / just sayin!

    This is clearly in memory of cook-outs past, an homage to that particular feeling when you've cleaned up after and to the hope of many more successful gatherings in the future.
