new 77 keeping it positive meta thread to request dudes stop biting their own joeks

you guys are all wrong

why

u guys people do not burn calories srsly - calories are a measure of how things catch on fire - the human body is not a fire and is subject to all sorts of weird metabolic quirks - how much energy someone expends doing a particular exercise has to do w/not only what theyre doing but all sorts of other variables particular to the person - what sort of shape theyre in what their metabolism is like what sort of exercise theyre used to what they ate that morning etc

anyway speaking as someone who has run and walked a lot this whole running is just as good as walking assertion just seems like bullshit on the face of it

no one said running "is just as good as" walking silly

thats a concise insightful summery of their argument

i think u meant "summary"

"summery" is an adjective that means of or pertaining to summer

u can never fully understand what i mean because my thoughts are too deep

but yes summer is a good time for running or walking

sigh

if i get into explaining mechanics and force and energy i feel like i'm going to end up screaming "WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY"

what about the windmills of your mind

Doctor Steve Brule with another science tip for ya:
If yer walkin' at a faster pace, yer actually runnin', ya turkey!

Hey guys, is this the calorie counting thread?

-30 w/o cheese

applauso

stop biting you fatties

Uh, I meant to say that slow poke McGee was doing a 15-minute mile up there, not a 5-minute mile. If McGee was doing a 5-minute mile he'd be Yippidadee McGee, not a slow poke.

you don't have to be an astronomer or astrologist or astronaut or whatever to get this though--it's hs-level physics and i don't think it involves windmills either. but whatever!

whatever whatever

its not really high school level physics

ok i'm stupid i guess

basically this idea what work is a function only of distance moved is fine if there's no friction or heat or whatever. the problem is none of those assumptions are even remotely justified when you've got a human body involved (i am an expert on the human body, ladies). all you can say with HS physics is that running and walking in an imaginary world where human bodies have no joints and are infinitely small uses the same energy (although how you'd actually move in this world without friction is another matter).

moving in a frictionless world:

lol SVG

yes i am talking about an imaginary world though!!!!

oh cool!

all you can say with HS physics is that running and walking in an imaginary world where human bodies have no joints and are infinitely small uses the same energy (although how you'd actually move in this world without friction is another matter).

caek is this the science talk reason why gargamel could never catch the smurfs???? ps the smurfs moved by kinda windmilling their little feet u can see this discussed in peer-reviewed journal youtube.com pretty sure

Finally someone addresses the 800 pound gorilla Smurf question!

yes lamp. that is pretty much the reason. the smurf's moved using newton's 3rd law in their frictionless world.

also, keeping it positive, i saw this photo just as Jane by Jefferson Star came on and i liked it so i'm posting it here:

thanks 4 vital smurf info

You gotta let this one go, dogg...

Nirvana C/D

Classic! "The Story Of Simon Simopath" and "All Of Us" were both excellent albums! ;)

BEST Nirvana Song

I have to be very unoriginal here and say "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Really, there is something very special about that song, and there was a reason why it singlehandedly brought "alternative" music out into the mainstream.

Although "Tiny Godess" was surely a good call too :)

Nirvana - The original C/D?

I always tend to tell those "In Utero"/"Nevermind" fans that the best two Nirvana albums were called "The Story Of Simon Simopath" and "All Of Us"

good one

Geir belongs on the "Weird jokes your uncle makes but no one except your aunt gets it" thread.

Whiney is geir's aunt?

the emoticon on three out of four of them is a little heartbreaking

haha whiney i noticed that last time i was looking up nirvana on ilm

geir belongs on the advance warning dude that isnt on 77 so lets not get into a big convo about him here list IMO

uh

hee

oh shit thats hilarious. lol @ me, carry on.
