Oh hey look! This fabulous person (and A+ vlogger) did a vlog that covered all the stuff that I did in my In Defense of Bisexuality rant earlier in the summer (and more)! Basically, if you feel weird about the word “bisexual” or think you know exactly what it means, give this a watch.
Too many facepalms for a single post.

Can’t decide if I find the hulk’s pose funnier than Cap’s.

history meme––two natural disasters: eruption of mount vesuvius
Though Mount Vesuvius has erupted several times throughout the course of history, only one is well known. In 79 AD, the volcano erupted, covering the city of Pompeii in a toxic cloud of ash and gas while rocks and debris bombarded the city, leaving an estimated 16,000 dead. The superheated ash blanketed Pompeii at such an alarming rate that imprints of bodies were left behind. Centuries later when the ruins were excavated, archeologists were able to fill the air pockets with plaster and create molds of the victims. Much of what we know about life in Ancient Rome originated from this archeological dig.

Ill finish for her “Well I didn’t so….screw everyone else.”
SHE WAS SO 100% THAT NIGHT LIKE SHE WAS LIKE I DON’T GIVE A SHIT AND DON’T CARE WHO KNOWS I’M TAYLOR SO DEAL WITH IT
do animals think in english or in the sounds they make
this is what yahoo paid $1.1 billion for
The milkshake: This is not limited to fast food nor to milkshakes. That ‘concoction’ is the industry standard artificial strawberry flavoring found in everything strawberry flavored that isn’t naturally flavored.
Chicken nuggets: Total lies. My sister works at the Tyson plant that provides KFC and McDonalds their nuggets. There’s no ‘pink paste’ stage. ’Reflavoring’ is an injection of mostly salt into the meat in order to give it some taste because modern day chicken is nearly flavorless. If you want to disgust people, show them the conditions of the processing plants that dismantle the chickens.
The pubic hair one: You eat more of your family’s pubic hairs cooking in your own home. You think you don’t shed once you walk in your own door?
Peanut butter: This is a cold hard truth of food mass production. There will be insects. You can never get rid of them or take them out of the process. The FDA places limits on how much can be allowed into specific foods so that food manufactories don’t get lazy and just say ‘Well we can’t keep it out.’ The FDA limit helps immensely because it makes these places try to keep the insect population down through keeping things clean.
Shellac: Oh my god this is so stupid. ’Shellac’ is an INGREDIENT. It’s a NATURAL PRODUCT produced by INSECTS. It is then PROCESSED into food-grade glaze or colorants, OR into wood and furniture polish. They don’t just take wood polish and dump it on your jawbreakers. Grow up.
Bacteriophages: The ‘phages of which you speak are used to kill the listeria virus. Listeria is a bacteria that attacks the immune system and has a one in five mortality rate. Bacteriophages? They’ve been used as an alternative to antibiotic medications in Russia and France for 90 years. That’s really disgusting and dangerous!
Coke: This is total and complete bunk. It would have been far more effective to point out that colas and carbonated drinks have been linked to weakened bones in those who overconsume them, but this is complete lies here. Again.
Salads: I think you mean propylene glycol. And again, this is bullshit. PG only causes reactions in those allergic to it. It has a very low toxicity and can only negatively affect human health if very large amounts are ingested very quickly and over a very short period of time. By which I mean ‘Find a vat of it and start drinking it and nothing else.’ Again you go for the lie instead of pointing out that fast food salads are processed and contain as much fat and cholesterol as most of the other foods offered by a fast food place.
Beef additives: This has nothing to do with fast food. This is common in MOST meats in the US. This is because the US has become so obsessed with the fat content of meat and making it ‘healthy’ that we have literally bred almost all the flavor out of every food animal breed we currently use. Flavorants are almost ALWAYS injected during processing or most of our meat would be bland and tasteless. ‘Flavorants’ typically being concentrated broth and/or salt and seasoning.
Cheese: Lies again. Only those cheeses labelled as ‘Pasteurized process cheese food’ and ‘Pasteurized process cheese spread’ match these stats. Pasteurized process cheese is simply a blended cheese made to have a sharp taste and be easily melted. Your lie here is that the 47% is referring to the cheese’s fat content, not cheese content.
This image is full of lies and misrepresented half-truths and anyone spreading this as truthful should rethink their approach.
THE COMMENT. EVERYONE READ THIS COMMENT. ^^^^
I was getting a little annoyed at this post (shellac?? pubic hairs?? come on) and wondering just how different US fast food places were, but then I scrolled further down and it became a Good Post and now I feel relieved.
You guys wanna know something scary? They teach you all these lies in health class. You guys should’ve seen the bullshit they told me about how drinking one soda a day could kill me.
The sitting Congress has the most women of any in history. Artist Emily Nemens is capturing each of them in paint, and using their likenesses in graphics to show how far we still have to go to bring gender equality to Washington.
