How to see whether a Chinese handmade teapot is well done or not - quality of the spout is an important standard. 

cr: 承启 建水紫陶

that last teapot is like witnessing an eternal and important truth

[ms-demeanor]

I just watched this with the sound on and i really recommend it because the utter silence of the last teapot is both perfectly predictable and totally remarkable.

Debunking the AI food delivery hoax that fooled Reddit

A “whistleblower” tried to corroborate his viral post with AI-generated evidence. This is how I caught him. PLUS: Grok's image-generation cr

so i'm no huge fan of rideshare and delivery apps, but this? this post?

completely fake. the article linked above thoroughly debunks it.

my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice

the tag game on this post is so strong

#a lot of the time this happens because someone in their 40’s got into 1 new thing and threw a fic at it before resuming business as usual#like sorry gang they’re not a youth who’s weirdly into your mom’s shows they’re your mom who played genshin impact

Look, Spinning Silver is a masterpiece but my favorite Naomi Novik novella is still that one Megatron/Optimus Prime fanfic written from Swindle’s POV.

[ID: A captioned TikTok video by user @stixywixy of a bearded man wearing a sweatshirt that reads "Sorry". He is speaking against a background that is a screenshot of a Tumblr exchange. The exchange starts with user victini posting "You can control white people by giving them cheese". User 0ndo replies "cheese is so good tho". Victini replies "I got one".

Stixywixy indicates the exchange as he lectures: "I've seen this circulating a lot, and as the veil between the worlds grows thinner this time of year, we need to talk about it for everyone's safety. Summoning, binding, warding, and dismissal are four distinct disciplines. They don't overlap. Cheese will summon white people; it will give you no command over them. Now you've got a swarm of uncontrollable cheese eating white people. Congratulations, you just made France. Now what? Conjure responsibly." Stixywixy looks away and drinks from an insulated tumbler. /end ID]

calories are one of those things like mbti where the very minute of the hour of the day that you find out what it actually is, you stop giving any credibility to anyone who uses it as a serious scientific data point for the rest of your life

[mortalityplays]

so basically the human body runs on mana points, which it gets from consuming food and drink. you can check how many mana points a food type has by checking the fire damage output when you put it in an explosion chamber. btw you should rewrite your life and health and moral and beauty standards around this idea.

[mortalityplays]

why do some people seem to get more mana points from the same food type than others? well they probably have a syndrome you see. the science is airtight.

Science Reveals Why Calorie Counts Are All Wrong

Digestion is far too messy a process to accurately convey in neat numbers. The counts on food labels can differ wildly from the calories you

[lierdumoa]

The only thing I don't like about the above article is that the language used to describe gut bacteria is misleading. The author makes it sound as if gut bacteria are a static population you're born with based on your genetics.

The sentence, "Some Japanese individuals, for example, have a microbe in their intestines that is particularly good at breaking down seaweed," makes it sound like you need to be Japanese to have these microbes.

What actually happened here is that people living in Japan ate so much raw seaweed covered in seaweed-digesting bacteria that a small fraction of those bacteria actually managed to survive the perilous journey through their digestive tract, and make a new home in their intestines, and now they have a thriving colony of seaweed-digesting bacteria living in their intestines.

The article explains that how you digest food depends on what kind of bacteria live in your gut.

But it fails to explain that the food you eat also determines what kind of bacteria find their way to your gut, and what kind of bacteria are able to continue surviving and thriving in your gut.

It fails to explain that the bacterial population living in your gut can change. Some bacterial colonies may die out. Some may evolve new digestive abilties. New foreign bacterial colonies may move in. And when the bacterial population in your gut changes, the ease in which you digest certain types of food also changes.

For example, you'll make yourself sick if you suddenly switch to a diet of high fiber (cellulose) foods after a long time of eating hardly any fiber at all. You should instead introduce more fiber into your diet slowly and gradually, which will give the colony of fiber-digesting bacteria in your gut time to rebound and increase their population after generations of famine.
