What’s a calorie?

 

The mount of heat required to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree C at standard atmospheric pressure, (29.92 inches at sea level at 59 degrees F).

In food, it's the amount of energy producing potential that the food could release being oxidized by the body.

Here’s one for the “flat-earthers.” If the earth is flat, like a coin for example, is there land/water/gravity (etc) on both sides or just one side?  What do you all believe?  

How about this for flat-earthers...

 

You can clearly see the moon with a telescope which is over 230,000 miles away...

 

But look from Vermont eastwardly and try to see Mt Everest, the tallest thing in the world with a telescope...

 

It's impossible because the earth curves... But a strong telescope EASILY has the power to reach that distance

A popular idea I've seen them talk about is that the South Pole is actually an ice wall that goes around the edge of the Earth. So they apparently think this is real.

Who built The Wall in Game of Thrones and how long has it been ...

A 72-year-old California woman was gored by a bison in Yellowstone National Park when she tried to take a picture, a news release from the park said.

The woman approached the bison to take a picture and got within 10 feet of it multiple times before it gored her on June 25, according to the release.

It took exception to being called 'Buddy Nix'?

Weather forecast: what's the difference between "partly sunny" and "partly cloudy?"

 

 

Depends upon whether you're an optimist or a pessimist.

Ahhh, yes the ice wall.  So do they think the earth is flat like a coin?  Say for example we decided to drill straight through the earth to the other side.  How long would it take us?  Half a day?

No, I'm not talking about you, Ridgewaycynic2013.

There are about 10 million similar sorts of observations that render a flat-earth theory wrong in under 20 seconds.

 

Doesn't stop lots of folks, particularly in the gold old USA, from believing in it, though.


You gotta love that.

 

Never, ever underestimate the stupidity of the average American.

Well they think there is a dome/firmament over the top you know like a snow globe but a lot of them get excited with this weird sense of adventure when asked what's past the ice wall like they're super excited for us all get on the same page as them on this elaborate global conspiracy so people can explore the actual world.

Hard to believe the dumbness. Really, really hard to believe that seemingly not completely ######ed human beings  can be so dumb. I am sorry for using that word, but it fits.

But the oil was heavier than the water he measured it. ? It is an absolute rabbit hole of dumb ***** like how can the Earth possibly be rotating this fast and everything not fly off it. And more recently these same self taught physicists apparently think Covid-19 is caused by the 5G cellphone network.

How much oil can that 5 ounces of water support? I wish the dude said ALL OF IT.

One of the Google supplied ads that pop up when I head for the TSW 'sign in' page is for a clothing company named 'Stunning Miss'.  Looking at the offerings, I wonder if the marketing gurus realized 'stunning miss' has two radically different meanings?  ?

I still say Google needs the advertisement dismissal choice of 'because this stuff is crap'.  ?
