I have heard that glass slowly drips because it is amorphous and that you can see this effect on old stained glass windows.

Okay. I have another one. This one is more controversial to Americans.

MSG is not bad.

It's found in a ton of foods such as: tomatoes, mushrooms, and parmesan cheese.

That MSG is not bad or that Americans think that MSG is bad? Alot of Americans are fairly scared of MSG. They think it will poison them.

Supposedly the myth started from pseudo science and a bit of racism. A physician blamed a Chinese restaurant for making him sick and suggested that it was MSG's fault.

On that note, Americans also believe that fortune cookies were invented in China, when, in reality, there is a good chance that they were invented in the US.

I have no idea why you seem upset, but I will take this time to continue posting about how Americans are pretty oblivious to other cultures.

Because Americans do not realize that fortune cookies only exist in America and are an American invention, they cheered on Yao Ming with a bunch of fortune cookies (which seems like racist good intentions to me).

He was obviously confused because fortune cookies are American, not Chinese.

American Chinese food has a very rich and logical history. Chinese workers and citizens were in America fairly early on which produced the unique genre of food known as American Chinese food.

I had always wondered why Chinese American food was pretty much the same across the entire United States, when the food served is not actually Chinese. How did that standard of fake Chinese food form?

There is a really cool documentary on Netflix that explains everything called "The Search for General Tsao",

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3576038/

I don't want to give away spoilers, but I highly recommend the documentary.

Anyway, as you pointed out, American Chinese food is meant to appeal to Americans, deep fried and covered in sugar.

You seem like an expert. Is this real?

The 8 Great Regional Cuisines of China

1. Guangdong/Cantonese Cuisine 粤菜 Yuècài
2. Sichuan Cuisine 川菜 Chuāncài
3. Jiangsu Cuisine 苏菜 Sūcài
4. Zhejiang Cuisine 浙菜 Zhècài
5. Fujian/Min Cuisine 闽菜 Mǐncài
6. Hunan Cuisine 湘菜 Xiāngcài
7. Anhui Cuisine 徽菜 Huīcài
8. Shandong Cuisine 鲁菜 Lǔcài

I think it's really neat that there are different regional cuisines, but I find it to be a very interesting concept because we don't really have anything quite like that in America. I suppose food in America is a bit regional but maybe not that pronounced.

Your kid probably believes sugar makes them hyperactive and thus the placebo effect takes place. Also, kids usually have high amounts of sugar during fun times such as parties or they are given it as a special treat, which understandably make them more excited. You could probably give your kid something with zero sugar content that tastes sweet and produce the same effect as you would with something that has high sugar content, or give them something with high sugar content that tastes like shit and have no effect at all.

My understanding is that msg is approximately as healthy as salt. In the 50's they started realizing that salt might be unhealthy for the first time. There may have been an overreaction and people cut back salt dramatically. Then msg came out and people thought it was some kind of magical flavoring that tasted like salt but it wasn't salt so there were no negative health effects, right? Well actually it basically has the same health effect. It's not dramatically worse than salt, like some would have you believe, but if you replace salt with msg you're not making food healthier either.

As with any public health campaign, the officials need to exaggerate the facts in order to get people to actually change their behavior on a wide scale. If you're smart and pay attention to what you eat, then you're in the upper 10% of consumers.

This was actually part of my 5th grade science class. It's as bullshit as "humans only use 10% of their brain" , and it's a really bad idea to tell children who like art that they can't be good at math or vice versa. I've run into it several times while tutoring. Ask some kids to spend a few minutes doing their math homework and you get "It's easy for you because you're right brained but I can't do it because I'm left brained".

That's why you have to add fictitious forces like the coriolis force or the centrifugal force to translate from non-rotating coordinate systems to rotating coordinate systems. You can set the (0,0,0)-coordinate in the center of the earth but as the poster you replied to said, it's just much more difficult to calculate the movement paths that way.

Contrary to popular belief my ancestors did not butt-fuck a monkey and accidentally unleash a horrible disease onto mankind.

> While HIV is most likely a mutated form of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a disease present only in chimpanzees and African monkeys, highly plausible explanations for the transfer of the disease between species (zoonosis) exist not involving sexual intercourse.[45]

He ATE the monkey! Case closed! I said case closed!

There isn't such a thing as "Chinese food". China is a diverse region with extremely varied food. It even differs from town to town, city to city.

Putting metal in a microwave damages it.

Wolves and other pack hunting species have "Alpha" and "Beta" males.

Albert Einstein did poorly in school as a child/teenager.

Vikings had horns on their helmets.

You should drink eight glasses of water per day.

Napoleon was short.

Roman Vomitoriums were rooms for vomiting.

Nice fake facts.

>Putting metal in a microwave damages it.

Oh damn. I was getting excited about all of the metals that I was going to put into the microwave, but this "myth" seems to only be a partial "myth". Be warned, "While spoons are generally okay, forks can create sparks due to a built up negative charge in the tines."

>Vikings had horns on their helmets.

My image of vikings is slowly getting eroded. Yesterday, I learned berserkers weren't a thing and now I learn vikings didn't even have the badass helmets. Facts are destroying my happy place...

>Napoleon was short.

The British did this. When they spread international rumors, the myths stick. The accent is just so damn convincing.

The seven deadly sins are not part of the Bible. Originally, there were, at least, 8 sins listed by Evagrius Ponticus,

> The eight patterns of evil thought are gluttony, greed, sloth, sorrow, lust, anger, vainglory, and pride. While he did not create the list from scratch, he did refine it.

The really frustrating part is that I thiiink there were more than 8 sins (as hinted by "While he did not create the list from scratch"), and, if I remember correctly, the longer list had pagan/polytheistic roots.

Yet, all I can find is religious propaganda instead of historical information. Does anyone know where Evagrius got "inspiration" from?

So its meaning is closer to "observable"? I.e. it leaves some information.

>>8662079
interesting but when i think of sins i dont think of 'patterns of evil thought' i think of 'if you do these you will go to hell'

1. "observer" is a measurement apparatus
2. Here is one of the more thorough and clear explanations that I have heard, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ORLN_KwAgs
3. Of course, every answer creates new questions. Here are the competing modern interpretations of the experimental results explained clearly and succinctly,

>>8662088
So does the pattern literally vanish the moment you enable the detector, then come back when you disable it? Is there a video of that moment?
>>
>>8662096

What specifically are you talking about? Are you referring to the double split experiment or the quantum eraser experiment?

Either way, if there is video footage, I doubt that it is very visual or entertaining. Here is the best I could find from some Googling (visual results of measurement on PC),

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT-_uCLwKhQ

I assume you realize that Youtube videos are designed to be entertaining, while the work that goes into performing experiments, modeling data, and publishing results can be quite tedious, involved, and even boring at times.

If you can refer to the holes in conductors (as charge carriers) then perhaps the absence of thermal energy can be referred to as a thing, too.

Where are you getting this from?

My understanding was that Vikings didn't write shit down so nobody's sure if it was drugs,alcohol, mental illness, or some kind of mind training ritual, but the people they fought against definitely recorded there were men in such an insanely aggressive state they could ignore the pain of wounds and overexertion.

Also the Netherlands. 10,000 square kilometers of it would be below sea level if it wasn't for man made dikes; but they never get credit for building something that can be seen from space

Placebo effect seems to be really poorly understood by the general population. Most people think it's the body's healing ability getting supercharged by good vibes, but it's only significant in studies that use measurements like "On a scale of 1 to 10 how much does your leg hurt?". It's caused by suggestibility influencing self reporting.
