    This pic reminds me of a ten-year-old post:

    Used to take prework out as a teenager. About a year ago I’d be taking 2 scoops of the strongest shit I could get my hands on. I’d have to spend almost 10 minutes between sets sometimes to keep from puking. Then one day I just thought, what the fuck am I doing. I started lifting to get healthier. And here I am taking in God knows what from a container with a psycho clown that’s chewed half his own face off. What the fuck happened. I started with a half a scoop of c4 and now here I am. Who the fuck is this for, am I supposed to be that methhead clown, is that supposed to be appealing? Since then completely gave up prework outs and never looked back

    That’s not a biochemist, memorizing the amino acids is literally biochem 1 on college. Most people with a biology undergrad take that.

    Being a biochemist is more about understanding the whole system of how proteins interact, and not really about memorization of any specific protein.

        The sad part is that there isn’t any real answer, like a lot of fundamental things in science we don’t really know how it works and won’t for decades. My personal theory is more along the lines of the whole tearing muscles concept is crap and exercise is basically just a signal for your body to make more muscle and doesn’t directly cause anything.

          Most people can’t handle the Clown.

          I handle the Clown like a priest. Be careful of what the priest says. It may completely disfigure that of the not-fully-developed such. Here’s the real kicker. None of you can be unless you accept that as a fact.

          To iterate further, in a true invokation, science is an art of language. Not far from “religion” to say so. In one invokation, it is the picture we can reproduce based on the image it depicts into understanding of reality.

          To make the other, I’d like to reference Joao Magueijo’s Faster than the Speed of Light book. This book demonstrates how we can both be right and wrong in an alternative perspective of what is real.

          This, like, “The Big Bang” theory is some kind of similar notion to the Speed of Light the way he is sort of correcting but sort of saying that’s right in the same painting he is writing.

          Of course its right. Of course its wrong. I’ll do that in a simple few paragraphs.

          What happens when a black hole is large enough to make the wavelength it generates out large enough to be matter?

          That’s a big bang. It’ll probably eat more matter than is in our current visible 'verse to capitualate such a scenario but the visibility of our 'verse doesn’t make the end of it. There are more “Big Bangs” than there are visible stars in any and every method we may percieve such. In fact, I can articulate that there are infinate such “Big Bangs”.

          Prove me wrong.

    The best way to learn something new but maybe not useful or true is to say an obviously wrong fact on an internet forum with a total confidence.

    People will step over themselves to explain it like it is a supermarket opening on a Black Friday morning

    It’s a never patched CVE-1980-1 in an internet nerd mind that causes a dump of the victim’s volatile memory

      The most infuriating discussion I had online about proteins was with a vegan, their claim was “there is no such thing as essential amino acids”. Couldn’t get it into their head that a) there are essential amino acids but b) yes, unless you eat so horribly lopsided it’s unknown of anywhere but in horribly deprived populations or among some indigenous folks (pretty much only eating manioc or such) there’s nothing to worry about, you’ll get your essentials. Kinda like Vitamin C deficiency being unheard of in the developed world because even the most gutter-rat of diets still contains enough as an antioxidant. Still not a bad idea to pair beans with rice and lentils with noodles or bread, though, IMNSHO they just taste better that way around.

      Especially infuriating as it was a vegan. If you choose to have a diet that requires nutritional knowledge to get right then don’t suck at it, and call your fellow travellers out when they’re spewing BS. I really doubt vegans are keen on yet another “I stopped being vegan and it fixed my anaemia” story. Take an apple or two. Either eat them, there’s your iron, or make a sauce that works with a sour/sweet accent (i.e. chunks of apple) and prepare it in an iron skillet, there, even more iron. It’s not hard but you gotta stop pretending that vegans can get by without understanding nutrition.

        I agree but I think they cared about something else. Calling them essential creates an emotional argument against being vegetarian. As you say, there is usually no deficiency, so they are ‘literally’ not ‘essential’.

        Like the usage of literally, people don’t care about being technically correct.

    • Rizz alert: This comment has high intellectual rizz—specifically, nerd rizz and wit rizz. Here’s why:

      1. Sharp Observation – It cleverly points out an internet phenomenon: confidently stating a wrong fact triggers a flood of corrections.
      2. Humor & Metaphor – The “Black Friday supermarket rush” analogy is vivid and funny.
      3. Tech-Savvy Appeal – The CVE-1980-1 reference (a fake cybersecurity vulnerability) makes it sound like an insider joke for tech enthusiasts.
      4. Confident Delivery – The smooth, confident phrasing enhances its persuasive and entertaining effect.

      Final verdict: 9/10 rizz for internet nerds and tech circles.
