So you'll have to come up with a different excuse for not having to watch your kids when you don't feel like it. In the future, use my go-to excuse: "No, you can't go swimming because I don't feel like watching you."

Also (for those of you who are) stop asking why "if we've been to the moon, why have we never been back?" You sound like an idiot. First, we have sent men to the moon several times since Apollo 11. Second, every time you say it, Eugene Cernan grows another middle finger.

An effect affects you. I always remember it by Pokémon. "It had no effect." Effect isn't the verb, had is.

Affect is used as a verb, effect a noun: "special effects"

Asked without affect, so likewise without affect I coolly reply: I'm pretty sure they were used correctly.

Swimming can cause cramping right after eating because it diverts bloodflow to the intestines away from muscles which can cause cramps

The sugar one: interesting! "Nonetheless, other experiments show that sugar may at least influence behavior." Source is worth a read.
Sprixxen
Probably 90% of the hyperactivity is placebo effect. Parents say "dont eat too much sugar, you'll get hyper". Then guess what...
Flyndaran
My family has an odd reaction to sugar even aside from excessive energy. Sugar hangovers suck.
HappyEngineer
Surely it gives you an energy burst though, right?
georgopolis
Sugar has been shown to influence reward centers in the brain similar to other drugs so may affect activity. While you drink coffee.

ISarabi
It's the wrong freaking question. Basically no one since the '50s has thought that sugar causes hyperactivity, just temporary rushes.
my90srapnameispoodrizzle
The source clearly shows an inverse relationship between ability to concentrate and sugar consumption. Parents might not be citing the (1)
my90srapnameispoodrizzle
"hyperactivity" in the most correct, non-colloquial use of the word, but the point remains that sugar makes kids act like little shits (2)
my90srapnameispoodrizzle
and it's noticeable. Furthermore, having done research with children, I can inagine there are literally hundreds of confounders at play (3)
my90srapnameispoodrizzle
here. The source itself mentions that home reports of hyperactivity increased with sugar consumption, but not so in the lab. Let me tell (4)
my90srapnameispoodrizzle
you, most kids in lab scenarios are bouncing off the fucking walls. When your baseline for hyperactivity starts at "HOLY FUCk", yeah (5)

RaZorwiresc2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions appears to have more sources that debunk the claim, if you are interested.
qleq
Also the one about different tastes. The source says that it DOES vary but it doesn't mean that you can only taste ONE on each area
bobbi21
Not exactly.. it says there's a negligible difference... e.g. a difference that doesn't matter and likely isn't statistically significant
secretstasher
Also - there has been at least one study that has shown effects of sugar on adults. It is unlikely that it effects adults and not children

In botany, vegetable isn't a real classification. It's just a term when preparing food. But so what? It is a word in common use.
aboxacaraflatafan
Nope. Just "vegetation", which is just a catch-all for "plants".
HaaaaaaveYouMetMe
Your point is like saying how scientists use the word "theory" as opposed to laymen. Vegetable is a culinary term. The word still exists.
aboxacaraflatafan
I didn't say it doesn't exist? I said it's not a botanical term.
HaaaaaaveYouMetMe
"No such thing as a vegetable?" "Nope". Vegetable *is* a botanical term, it just has a different, more specific meaning.

Sorry. I realize I literally did say it didn't exist. To clarify: the word exists, but it's not used botanically. Botanists are more 1/2
ZestySauce
The source doesn't say there are no such things as vegetables. It just says a lot of things people refer to as vegetables are fruits.

The 'dark side' of the moon isn't actually a thing. Neither side of the moon gets more or less light than the other.

Uh, no, there's not. During a new moon, the "back" side of the moon is fully illuminated because it's facing the sun.
whywontallthesestupendouslylongnameseverendijustdontunderstand
the "dark side" of the moon refers to the side facing away from us, since the moon is tidally locked, but yes it is illuminated.

FelicisAsphodel
Why would you want to slap people over something that can be fixed with tweezing in a couple of days? It's not that big of a deal.
hayesedandamused
Essentially the best way to keep "fine" hair is to get waxed, which pulls out the root and new hair grows in its place.
ArdentSlacker
It doesn't taper... right off. But hair tends to grow, fall off, and regrow, so I guess if you were hella bored you could trim only non-new.

When I spend a few days out in the sun my leg and arm hairs turn blonde. If I then shave them off they will grow back brown.
TheBattleBuddy
If hair grew back better when shaved, wouldn't we have already found the cure for baldness?
InboxMeUrShibes
If I shaved my inner arm new hair would not grow there. It's not going to cause hair to sprout up.
TheBattleBuddy
Let me rephrase that then: If shaving the hair you currently have makes it fuller, you would never go permanently bald if you shaved enough.
doesanyoneevenreadthese
Im sorry. I'm blonde, and the hair on my legs used to be. Now if I let it grow out, it's dark brown. Explains itself.

Hair going from blonde to brown with age is normal.

Nope. Shaving has nothing to do with hair appearance. If it had, I'b be Sasquatch. Think about it:what makes you blonde in the first place?

Not tweezers, plucking is the wrong term. Long story short, you lose hairs playing rugger.

That's because you rip out parts of what the hair grows from, its not rocket science.

That when they waxed their hair it grew back slower.

Because they went from vellus and became darker by being exposed to androgens?

There is a certain amount of bleaching from the sun involved. New hair isn't lightened from exposure to the sun.

Same vut I'm a red head. My leg hair is now black.

I just can't figure out what is: but term yarse?
buttermyarse
Ahem. Butter my arse.
matmatpenguin
Fine, fine... ಠ_ಠ not this shit again
ninmonkey
Does that mean the railings don't match the drapes?

I don't have red hair anywhere except my head. Weird, I know.

I have darkish blonde hair and a reddish beard, so there's that.

It would have happened anyway, over time. If shaving helped get thicker, fuller hair, my weak-ass beard of 20 years has a lot to explain.

I'll donate some of my leg hair if you want?

Hormones. Your hair isnt fully mature until about 12/13. Your hair will continue to get darker as you age,

Also, if you're a woman expect hair changes around puberty, early 20s, every kid you have, uterine surgeries, cancer, menopause, etc.

Thanks for making me dread getting older even more than I already did, loser. Damn.

I'm a hairstylist. I know things about hair. It ages just like the rest of our bodies.

I get that this is it but arm hair (never shaved) is still light and fine. Except one spot where I have a freckle and occ shave. Ancedata *c
Wombatish
c* but man, hard for me to personally just go "yep this isn't happening". And yes the freckle has dark hair no matter what but I get extras.
