    There are low sugar sports drinks. Most of the electrolytes they’re advertising is just salt. Your body needs salt to function. You lose salt when you sweat.

    My doctor told me I come literally just put some table salt in water and it would do just as well as any sports drink, sugar or no.

    I work in a physical environment and they hand out electrolyte packets and Gatorade like candy when it gets hot.

    Ok, so that scene in Jurassic Park where Dr Satler looks at a fern and goes “ok this extinct thing is killing your triceratops”

    Like a how does she know? Also the fact that they have this whole magic bs story about bringing back dinosaurs with frog DNA, but never tell you where the plants came from, does that bother you too?





  • So, I was going to do that math but it’s 65 fucking countries and I’m bored but I ain’t got that much battery left on my phone.

    At one time Britain ruled over 1 out of every 5 people on the planet. If we carry that forward to today it’s roughly 1.6 billion people. Let’s call that the lower bound.

    If we take the average population of any given country, which is fair given that China wasn’t but India was one of them, and divide that by the number of countries and then multiply it by the number Britain used to rule, we get 2.6 billion.

    Let’s call that the upper bound.

    There are roughly 2.6 billion christians worldwide. But not all of them celebrate Christmas. In the US, 85%-95% do. Let’s just use that for the upper bound and say 2.2 to 2.5 billion people celebrate Christmas worldwide. Let’s say 50% is the lower bound, at 1.3 billion people.

    Which means that it’s possible, and not even unlikely that more people celebrate independence from Britain than celebrate Christmas.
