What's the difference between a chickpea and a garbonzo bean?

[–] Ageroth@reddthat.com 60 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I ain't paying 50$ for a garbanzo bean on my chest

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 35 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A classic, although "to have" works better than "for"

That would be a great stage. "Aww look, that little polyp has a face! So cute :)"

i once had a VERY spicy meal. and i'm quite used to spicynes

that meal caused me to feel it the next morning when i peed. which also means that my blood was spicy at some point

[–] Valmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 79 points 4 days ago

Spissy 😔

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 34 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Are you sure you didn't have sex with someone with spicy pee prior? Spicy pee is contagious.

It's all connected. It's a series of tubes.

The body, it's not, it's not something you can just dump something on, it's not a big truck.

Guess where almost all your fatass has to go in order to lose it? Your lungs. You have to breathe out more than goes into your face hole. That's a lot of breathing.

[–] Art3mis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 4 days ago

I used to try to exhale harder than inhaled to mestabolize alcohol faster when i got the spins so i could drink more.

Im 2.5 years sober now lmao

That, and then you realize that you primarily lose weight through your breathing.

[–] filcuk@feddit.uk 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And how that is used to make trees

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The atoms in the air you're breathing are billions of years old, and the molecules could have been made 5 minutes or a billion years ago. Probably both in the same breath.

I think that makes sense, water is absorbed into the bloodstream, right? And then the kidneys filter the blood and the bad bits + excess water is peed out. Which is why your pee looks saturated yellow if you are dehydrated and almost clear (but don't drink it!) when you have drank a lot of water.

Any remaining water in your digestive tract that isn't absorbed would be in your poos! If you have diarrhoea and your poos are all liquidy, that means water is not being absorbed properly (bad!)

I didn't do Biology, I'm a Physics+Chem student, so this could be completely wrong!

[–] kuiskaaja@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago

thanks for reminding me not to drink pee, if you didnt tell me that, i wouldve done it

[–] Reborn_Mormon@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Listen, urine comes from your no-no spot and I want to drink it straight from the tap because I am an alchemist and know urine's true potential. Please, everyone, pee on me to make me more powerful, and I will defeat Donald Trump in this next election...

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (7 children)

You got reborn HARD, friend.

Your sweat also comes from your blood.

And when you lose weight, you breathe it out.

Fun fact: what ever you eat is wrapped around by your body, but it's not in the body.

Humans are topologically a seven? hole donut.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 35 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Your mom’s a seven hole donut.

If you don't take in any liquids for long enough you won't have any urine. It's carried by your blood from source to destination. Your sweat similarly is from liquid transported by your blood

I mean, the water does have to come from SOMEWHERE, so strictly speaking that way of looking at it is not wrong, just ignoring a few steps.

[–] PillowD@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Instead of 'You are what you eat.' it is "You are what you don't shit."

Well, that answers that question.

I'd been wondering just how the fuck piss crystals can take a wrong turn at your bladder and end up in your foot, turns out they were in your foot the whole time.

I mean... It's not like there is a tube from your digestive tract to your kidneys... How else would it get there?

Btw, I'm really smart and humble if you didn't notice

And blood is made from liquids absorbed from digestive tract.
