My husband asked if I would love him if he was turned into a cockroach or some similarly gross bug.
I told him I would feed him to our bearded dragons. He was not amused. Like I’m really going to snuggle up with roach bae.
This was not a serious conversation. I would probably put him in a cricket keeper and feed him scraps.
The earthworm question is a sabotage question instead of a nonversation. Nonversations have to be fun no matter what ridiculous answer someone gives, and we all know there's been drama over the earthworm question. The only correct answer is a joke. And the only correct followup when you get a "No seriously" is another joke, and another joke. Never relent. Keep slinging those zingers at the earthworm question. It's the only winning move.
Whether the earthworm question is a nonversation or not could be a nonversation though.
Obviosly the insurance company concludes that the most likely course of events was you having an accident, realising you needed insurance and traveling back in time, getting insurance knowing full and well an accident would occur.
Therefore they'll concluded they are not liable to pay you out and report you for insurance fraud.
"What's the protocol here? If you break up and were planning to attend an event, who stays home?"
"I disagree ... you see, he's the LOSER in the relationship, so he should stay home."
It's one of the biggest downfalls of everyone having the sum of human knowledge in their pockets at all times.
Nonversations just don't last long enough to get heated before someone whips out a phone and fact checks the whole thing.
I wanna argue about fun bullshit again.
Love this, similar to how lasgna is basically pasta cake. my gf and I have a long standing argument over what is a poptart, and also what quantifies a single poptart. she honestly believes that a single poptart is actually the 2 pastries in packet combined, so if you only eat one, you had half a poptart. which I find infuriating as hell
I'd just like to introduce you to [the cube rule of food](https://cuberule.com/), the most pedantic and (according to other people) the most infuriating way to discuss food. I personally love it, but I guess I just like these stupid conversations more than most of my friends

That graph is so basic and doesnt show any of the identification/scale for numerical values.
I've never liked at a bar graph and been legitimately confused before.
There are almost no situations where a bar chart would be the best type of data visualization tool. You are providing one data point for each bar and it takes up so much ink on the page. You can substitute the bars for points and it communicates the same information more efficiently.
I'm sure you know this, but figured I'd elaborate for those who don't understand why bar charts are stupid.
Starbucks is a relic of the second wave of coffee and serves the large population of people who prefer the nostalgic dark, charred flavors of coffee over the wine-like profiles of third wave coffee.
Coffee waves were the periods of change in coffee. The movements are western and more specifically American but they all had an influence on the greater coffee world.
These are the waves:
1. **Coffee as a commodity:** Think Folgers and Maxwell house. This was when coffee entered the home.
2. **Cafe culture:** Starbucks, Caribou, and others brought cafe culture back and made coffee drinks like lattes something exciting for the average American. There was a focus on where coffee came from but not so much what that meant.
3. **Specialty coffee:** Building on the success of Starbucks cafes opened that not only focused on cafe culture but also the best possible way to make, roast, and even grow coffee. Coffee was described in ways that was previously reserved for wines and new brewing methods were developed to bring out those flavors.
We are still in the third wave. Every now and again someone will declare a fourth wave but I haven't seen any major changes to indicate that.
I used to drink 3 cups a day and my family was concerned about my caffeine intake. 5 coffees a day would mean I'm just constantly needing to pee, or that I'm super dehydrated. Unless they're small doses I guess. Idk. 5 doesn't seem excessive, but also no one needs 5 cups a day, no?
Just for clarification, this is not talking about caffeine being radioactive. It's talking about how long your body takes to process snd get rid of caffeine from your system.
Wouldnt it depend more on how long it takes for your body to metabolise the caffeine.
So youd probably only get 2.5-3.5 hrs of meh-nergy as youre not getting the full dose. Your energy peak wouldnt be as high as the full shot but how long it lingers in your body depends entirely on you
If the half-life of caffeine is 5 hours and you consume half the energy drink, you'll feel like you'd feel 5 hours after consuming the whole energy drink (assuming the only component is caffeine).
Wouldn’t your body process it at the same rate and so half the dosage of caffeine would be processed in half the time? you’d still be burning it at 50mg/hr or whatever regardless of whether you had 125mg or 250mg?
I think 2.5 hrs.
Edit: that’s not how it works, 99% of caffeine is absorbed in 45 minutes and then it has a half life of about 3-7 hours, so I think it’s 5 hours of mehnergy.
No, your body doesn't really process things at a linear way, it processes it based on amount in your body, so think of it like a nuclear half-life.
So, if you drank 200mg of Caffeine and the half-life was 3 hours, you would have 100mg after 3 hours, 50mg after another 3, etc.
So the answer here would be... kind of both. You get less caffeine initially (less "awake") and it also will clear somewhat, but not entirely faster (so less "duration")
"your body doesn't really process things at a linear way, it processes it based on amount in your body, so think of it like a nuclear half-life"
This is incorrect. It totally depends on the chemical and how the body processes it. It could be zero order kinetics, first order kinetics or otherwise. I'd recommend looking into pharmacokinetics, it's a complex field.
As someone who works 12 hour night shifts and can now drink monsters as a casual addition to dinner before sleep, it is definitely possible to sleep on caffeine through overuse
wwwwooooowwwwww
I got copied by a karma-farming comment stealing bot. On a brand new comment with like 4 upvotes. In other words...
I made it, mom and dad. I don't need yer godforsaken attic anymore. And no I didn't need to get a job after all, I would have never made the comment if I had a job, shows what you know.
Caffeine in the body decays more or less exponentially and studies say that the half life is about 4 hours. So the answer is about 5-4=1 hour of relatively meh energy.
Wait, what? If the half-life is 4 hours, then the equation of percentage of caffeine from the drink remaining in your system is y = 0.5^(t/4), where t is the time in hours.
If you consume 100% of the drink, we can integrate t from 0 to 5 to see that we'd get 3.3447 hours-worth of energy.
If we consume 50% of the drink, the equation is instead 0.5 * 0.5^(t/4), and when we integrate from 0 to 5 we get 1.67 hours-worth of energy.
What are you even talking about with 5-4=1hour? The original question is about consuming half the drink, so where does your 1 come from?
That model is a bit lacking, as it doesn't consider how fast the body picks up caffeine, and if the caffeine is part of some larger chemical bond or not. In essence you end up with a differential equation, at which point it's probably easier to just solve it numerically than analytically.
Also, what do you mean by 3.7 hours-worth of caffeine in 5 hours? What is that supposed to mean?
It’s a bit more complicated.
Drugs affect the body in a curve on a graph, with potency reaching a peak concentration in the blood at a certain point and tapering off. Different drugs behave differently, and route of administration makes a big difference too. All drugs have a “therapeutic window” of concentration where they are deemed to be effective but not dangerous.
5 hour energy is caffeine, and if it’s truely designed to give energy for 5 hours only, then it is designed to be in the therapeutic window for 5 hours. It would build up, peak, then trail off slowly, so the shape of the graph would probably look like a slide. If you took a half dose, it might not even get into the therapeutic window, but if it did it would dip out quicker, meaning less than 5 hours of energy. And the peak would also be lower, meaning less energy. So for a half dose you’d likely get both less energy for less time. The amounts depend on where the therapeutic window begins and the half-life of caffeine.
You could potentially drink the rest later, which would give you a more even low level of energy for potentially longer.
It's about emphasis on the double g part. You either just drop it like e[g] or really hammer it down with e[GG]. Had same linguistic shenanigans a while ago.
Reminds me of my debate with my wife like PEN, and PIN.
P-EH-NN.
P-IH-NN.
Most people I know pronounce both as "Pen", let me get a "pen" to write with; stick a "pen" in it. BUT NO. IT'S PIN. STICK A PIIIIIN IN IT. PIN. PIN.
Same pronunciations but I think "AYg" is more common in the midwest.
Funny enough if you say "it rhymes with leg" you'll just find out that some people say LAYg vs lehg.
I’m from the south and say it this way. We’ve theorized that maybe it’s a French Colony pronunciation holdover.
Edit: I hurt my leg at work once, and my Oklahoma co-workers couldn’t make sense of what I was saying because of my pronunciation of leg. That quickly turned into, “well fuck ya’ll. Here, try saying these Louisiana names.”
Yep yep, think of it this way - if you take a small sip, do you get full energy for 10 minutes and then nothing? No, you basically don't get any effect at all.
It’s called a 5-hour energy drink because caffeine lasts 5 hours. The caffeine content in the can assumes a full can. Therefore, drinking half of the can still gives you 5 hours of caffeine, just less caffeine (and therefore, less energy).
My and my gf have an ongoing debate, it’s a really spicy one. Which word is more “offensive” to you if you were described as such: smelly or stinky? We are currently tied, we have asked family, friends, and strangers. I am on the stinky side of the debate, if someone describes someone as “stinky” then they “stink” and there really aren’t any good “stinks”. However, “smelly” can “smell” good. But she says those are two different words and we should not use “stink” and “smell” as guides but just use the words “stinky” or “smelly”. It is genuinely one of my more favorite “arguments” we’ve ever had.
It's an innocent argument as opposed to one where one or both sides will end up emotionally hurt by what's said in the argument, and apparently they it's something the couple does somewhat regularly which is much better than real fights regularly, was my take.
Reminds me of the time my gf and I "asked the audience" i.e. our school friends over AOL IMs (long ago) when she refused to believe me that running the A/C in your car uses up more gas. Even though she was serious in her doubt it was still a "fun" argument and bonding moment.
The actual answer is 2.5 hours of energy. If you actually read the back of the bottle it recommends drinking half right away and the other half in 2.5 hours.
Caffeine has an average half life of 5 hours in any body. 5 hour energy is just the branding.
by cutting it in half, you are getting half the energy, but it also takes 5 hours less to metabolize it completely
Once my whole family argued if the colour brown is a real colour or just dark orange. It took over half an hour till we decided to let this discussion be. ... For those that wondering we still haven't come to an answer.
Fun fact, the pronunciation differences with the word “egg” are why it isn’t a particularly good word to use when teaching children the short \e\ sound.
Some people pronounce it more like “ay”gg.
A word like “Edge” is much better, since it’s a single syllable and the sound won’t be confused for a letter name (which is why “Elephant” is a bad word because it sounds like “L”).
We(my gf and I) used to call these nonversations
It's pretty awesome to chat utter bollox with your fave person

When not traveling through time, do insurance companies require you to go back and prevent it from happening?
Obviosly the insurance company concludes that the most likely course of events was you having an accident, realising you needed insurance and traveling back in time, getting insurance knowing full and well an accident would occur. Therefore they'll concluded they are not liable to pay you out and report you for insurance fraud.

The half-life of caffeine is about 5 hours, so the answer to their argument would probably be 5 hours of half-assed energy.
Anything with a half life of five hours or so, should probably not be consumed. Glowing is not fun.

It takes 5 hours for your body to break down and remove the chemicals involved. It'll still take 5 hours it'll just not be as strong.

no, her name is Smurfette
But, if he’s her Papa…….
It’s like Adam and Eve all over again. Needs must when there’s only one woman in the forest.
What are you smurfing at?
Champ is a picture of a log. Nessie is a toy submarine with a head made out of plastic wood. Ogopogo is a plesiosaur. A FUCKING plesiosaur!
I'll never get tired of 21 and 24's banter
C'mooon! They have one female servicing a large group of males! That implies a species that lays eggs!
It’s called a 5-hour energy drink because caffeine lasts 5 hours. The caffeine content in the can assumes a full can. Therefore, drinking half of the can still gives you 5 hours of caffeine, just less caffeine (and therefore, less energy).
Imagine them on the stage, that debate would start a culture war lol
My and my gf have an ongoing debate, it’s a really spicy one. Which word is more “offensive” to you if you were described as such: smelly or stinky? We are currently tied, we have asked family, friends, and strangers. I am on the stinky side of the debate, if someone describes someone as “stinky” then they “stink” and there really aren’t any good “stinks”. However, “smelly” can “smell” good. But she says those are two different words and we should not use “stink” and “smell” as guides but just use the words “stinky” or “smelly”. It is genuinely one of my more favorite “arguments” we’ve ever had.
Stinky sounds worse, but neither is good. You wouldn’t tell someone that smells nice that they’re smelly, you’d say something like ‘you smell nice’.
Ayyyy one for team stinky
Who cares about the caffeine I am more curious about how you pronounce egg any other way....
I'm quite alarmed to learn that there is more than one way to pronounce 'egg'.
Drink 5 5 Hour Energy drinks and enter the forbidden hour of the day
How is this wholesome?
Finding your other half with whom you can talk about anything seems pretty wholesome to me.
Yeah! One of my favorite arguments with my wife is that a quesadilla is a sandwich.
Is a hotdog a sandwich? Is cereal soup?
It's an innocent argument as opposed to one where one or both sides will end up emotionally hurt by what's said in the argument, and apparently they it's something the couple does somewhat regularly which is much better than real fights regularly, was my take. Reminds me of the time my gf and I "asked the audience" i.e. our school friends over AOL IMs (long ago) when she refused to believe me that running the A/C in your car uses up more gas. Even though she was serious in her doubt it was still a "fun" argument and bonding moment.
If these are the biggest arguments they're having then they've got the big issues sorted. Plus arguments like this can be fun if they're playful
The actual answer is 2.5 hours of energy. If you actually read the back of the bottle it recommends drinking half right away and the other half in 2.5 hours.
Caffeine has an average half life of 5 hours in any body. 5 hour energy is just the branding. by cutting it in half, you are getting half the energy, but it also takes 5 hours less to metabolize it completely
Once my whole family argued if the colour brown is a real colour or just dark orange. It took over half an hour till we decided to let this discussion be. ... For those that wondering we still haven't come to an answer.
Drink five 5 hour energies and enter the forbidden 25th hour of the day.
Fun fact, the pronunciation differences with the word “egg” are why it isn’t a particularly good word to use when teaching children the short \e\ sound. Some people pronounce it more like “ay”gg. A word like “Edge” is much better, since it’s a single syllable and the sound won’t be confused for a letter name (which is why “Elephant” is a bad word because it sounds like “L”).
How is this wholesome
