None of these "facts" have been verified or checked for a source. I
find them to be funny at most. Some have spelling errors or other issues.
Most of them seem less "fact" and more made up for entertainment.
Enjoy...

Ulthirm
Ulthirm
it is not used in modern day English and shouldn't be used in such) Costed is still an invalid word in this
Ulthirm
because it is not discussing an action but instead a value. Costed is an action, such as "The girl costed her lemonade at $3" versus

"The girl's lemonade cost $3" which is a value.

Why are the exclusive rights to a project like that even available? Is it not copyrighted by the developers?
PyroT3chnica
It is copyrighted by the developers, and they have Anish Kapoor exclusive rights to using it for artistic purposes

Also Kapoor only really has the exclusive rights because Vantablack is currently subject to UK law regarding the export of military material

Stuart has come up with more stuff since then, like the world's most glittery glitter, the yellowiest yellow and other non-Kapoor things
PianoMan2112
Well then I guess it’s OK to get vantablack. Spinal Tap should demand some.
parasztarcal
AFAIK the pigment is exclusive specifically because it is toxic, so you can't exactly hand it out to everyone and expect nobody to die.
dankfrank466
Lots of stuff is toxic though? Why is this more dangerous?

They forget to mention its adult onset diabetes or type 2. Type 1 or juvenile isnt ever. This fact brought to you by a type 1 diabetic.
gaenaralhonk
Wait do americans actually tend to drink soda every day?
Watchtheadventuresofpeteandpete
Some do, some drink many sodas a day. It’s cheap as hell here. Cheaper than bottled water (sometimes) at the convenient store..

I stopped drinking sodas and switched to beers instead. Definitely feel better than ever

I had a mountain dew 2 weeks ago for the first time in years. Tasted like pure syrup and I couldn't finish it

I've always felt like the white sodas are more carbonated. I think the speed you try to drink it matters too. 7up is great for colds imo
thor0486
YUP, stop drinking soda for long enough and drinking it again makes it taste waaaay too sweet.
Onondagadaddy
I stopped and lost 10 pounds. Not doing anything else lost it.
AriPlanetLord
See people say that all the time but I went 3 weeks without any kind of soda and nothing. All I got was withdrawal symptoms.
Onondagadaddy
Took about 5 weeks.
AliBarber
Takes longer than 3 weeks to see any difference. Took nearly 2 months for me to get over the effects of having so much sugar and caffeine.
GothmogLordofBalrogs
So you got to the part where the human body finally adapts and then quit.
GoogleFucker
Takes more than 3 weeks. After a point, you stop craving it altogether. It's pretty swanky
Spoonf3d
Go a little longer 2 months I lost 30 lbs.
Silverforte
I stopped drinking it because I would get headaches if I didn't have any after about 10-15 hours the next day. I HAD to drink it to avoid it
Szwejkowski
That's probably a caffeine headache.
Onondagadaddy
Yes me too. Horrible headache so I hated the withdrawal like that so I just quit altogether.
DonteHaversham
Caffeine headaches are a bitch., but for me not as bad a nicotine. The caffeine ones ended wayyy quicker as well
KenmoreChalfant
I stopped drinking soda and GAINED weight. To be fair I replaced the soda with milkshakes.

So you replaced sugar for more sugar?

And added fat as well.

I wish that the "fun fact" would clarify that not drinking soda would reduce the amount of TYPE 2 Diabetes. Won't stop type 1.

Not to mention that 2 million case of diabetes over (at most) 3 years? I mean nearly three times that many will die in cars.

There was a disclaimer that the facts are bull, but since only type 2 can be prevented (as far as we know), it hardly needs distinction.
EGOT
Honestly, I love soda but I'm so glad it's never been a habit of mine. But an occasional Pepsi at a movie theater is so fucking good.
QSteele
I stopped drinking Soda for a year. Replaced it with Unsweetened tea and water. Didn't lose a pound and health stayed the same.
explosivelyshy
Maybe your eating habits changed to compensate for the missing sugar.
DonteHaversham
That doesn't make sense unless you were gaining weight and the rate of gain slowed. Calories consumed vs calories burned graph
QSteele
I'm at a constant caloric deficiwncy regardless. I onlt ate 1 meal a day, about 1000cal because it was free at work.
anakhasilver
People have a plateau both ways, IIRC.
TomNguyen
plateau means decrease effectiveness over time.When he stop driking soda and replaced with water, the effect should hit unless he overeating
DonteHaversham
Exactly. If that's the case, rate of gaining weight would have slowed or stopped. There must be more than one factor at play there
Onondagadaddy
I've only been drinking ice cold water all day. I think that probably helps.
Ikillmiceforaliving
This is a serious question. How did you stop? I have serious cravings (and it's not the sugar, I drink diet coke)...
NSPike
Just a suggestion but maybe try no sugar flavoured water and transition to normal water over time? Could work like a nicotine patch
Ikillmiceforaliving
Thanks. I will try that. I just moved to the US any brand suggestion?
Onondagadaddy
Honestly I had some health problems and it was enough to drop it from my diet. So feeling a little better was nice and it's easy not to.
TheDreadLordSithis
My grandma has the same issue.... you seriously should research the sweetener, aspartame I would assume
Ikillmiceforaliving
I researched it. And my hair loss issues is actually due to that. I drink WAAAAY too much diet coke. 2-3 cans everyday for the last 2 years
TheDreadLordSithis
Yeah... that stuff can do terrible things
Ikillmiceforaliving
I haven't changed my diet. I know I'm stressed, but not enough for all that. After the process of elimination and some research... diet coke
Watchtheadventuresofpeteandpete
Just do one less soda a day for a week, replace with a glass of water or whatnot. Don’t stress yourself. Keep decreasing week by week 1/2
Watchtheadventuresofpeteandpete
Or month by month.You’ll get there but don’t let a setback stop you.Accept it and keep going forward. You’ll feel much better, especially
Watchtheadventuresofpeteandpete
If you replace your 1st soda of the day with water
Ikillmiceforaliving
Thank you
Watchtheadventuresofpeteandpete
You’re welcome, I love diet soda too :)
grimmia
I have maybe a small glass or can a week. I still pound energy drinks like a madman though. That's step two.
BigAZNMan
Just get caffeine pills and take as needed (can only have 3 a day in 4-8 hour intervals). They're cheaper too. 100 for $7.
BigAZNMan
I only use one 4 days a week 30 min before workouts or running. It's just a habit you have to get control of.
128Gigabytes
I like the taste of them though its not about the energy. I'll pound one 30 minutes before I need to sleep if I'm eating pizza.

I was abusing caffeine hard as well, I found that using caffeine every other day did wonders for me.

I mean, I do think that rolling coal just because or to piss off some idiot in a prius is stupid. But yeah.

Big difference between smoke due to a load and just because you're a dick
azgrak
Rolling coal makes crazy horsepower. Also awesome mileage when not hard on the stupid pedal. Over fueling+big turbo=38mpg in a 1ton.
TinyRocktopus
No it moves up the torque curve but at the cost of high rpm horsepower and it kills fuel economy
NotAfraidToOffendYou
No, making huge hp usually results in some smoke and decent mileage. A good tune goes a long ways.
CometLaHal
great /s my man got everyone triggered by such an idiotic statement
ctennessen
My 2.4 with little baby turbo gives me 45+mpg easy. You have to stomp through the floor to get any smoke out of it.

Rolling coal does not make awesome milage, its literally unburnt fuel. 38mpg. never. Seem 30mpg in a 5.9 zero smoke.
TysonGoesOutside
My 6.2 gets about that.. no turbo or smoke though haha. Gotta love them slow old Detroit's.
