@platypus yikes! i was hoping the february cold would make them a bit slower to gain ground this year
@rigormorphis yeah there is a lot of fascinating science about hydration! but unless you’re currently sick with the flu or an edge case (high performance athletes & certain chronic conditions that fuck with hydration) your doctors advice is more than sufficient.
@rigormorphis certain types of high performance athletes DO find that they have to care about the osmolarity of liquids they’re consuming but this applies to like, marathoners and other endurance sports where they’re actively trying to consume large numbers of calories via fluids to keep them going through a race AND need to do it in a way that doesn’t hinder their ability to absorb water & electrolytes quickly (because they’re also loosing tons of those via sweat)
eg. here is a company popular with endurance athletes explaining why they’ve formulated their sports drink to about 4% carbohydrate solution, which used osmolarity in an actually scientific manner: https://www.skratchlabs.com/blogs/blog/sports-hydration-why-water-isnt-enough
@rigormorphis osmoles are a unit of measurement to determine how much of measurement to describe the concentration of solutes (stuff that dissolves in water) in a given solution. so just off the bat they’re definitely using it as pseudo-scientific babble bc units of measurements are not substances lmao
i suppose technically if water is 100% water and your juice is 95% water, then an 8 oz glass of juice contains like half an ounce less water and is therefore “less hydrating” but like. 1) 7.6 ounces of water you actually drink is better than 8 oz you don’t 2) this can be trivially solved by drinking very slightly more juice
@wallhackio what a coward nation indeed
@distel house dad does make sense (by analogy to housewife / househusband) but it definitely rings a little odd. But i dont know many stay at home dads, so it may just be that i’m not familiar with the terminology they’re using?
@Canageek @chr according to the image description, that is the logo for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM
@platypus love a goof lemon pound cake
@Padres team GB was also b bad but they can tie for last in uniform design
@coriander japan definitely had one bc i remember looking it up lmao and i’m p sure a few other teams did as well
@SportsGoblin yeah we also got jumpscared by it last game 😅 my best guess is that its a “hats off” motion — some fraction of people always use their hats for it and the percentage seems to go up when they’re more excited
Eye contact
@pixouls looks super cool!
@mythologybot not being able to touch iron probably counts, sure
@wallhackio i feel like theres a waluigi joke in here somewhere but i’m too lazy to find it
@SportsGoblin i think the human element of baseball is good but like, we’re already exaggerating all the flukey randomness of baseball by playing single games here instead of a series we can’t take that kinda nonsense from the refs on top of it all
@SportsGoblin yeah i have now gone from “yeah abs is probably good and interesting” to “we need abs in all tournaments and levels of play starting yesterday” over that
@kate are you discovering this by making mouth go numb?
@thebiologistisn what do your blue beans look like cooked? when i was little my grandmother grew blue green beans and i was always so disappointed when they turned back to green during cooking 😂
