>shit normies say

>science proves that free will doesn't exist

>I don't eat GMOs because I don't want cancer or weird genetic diseases

>>9598170
this. simple logic prove that it doesn't, not science

>>9598100
>well according to the many worlds interpretation there's a universe for everything!

>>9598170
That's what social science is for

>>9598100
There are different meanings for words depending on context, OP. You were in the wrong there.

>>9598208
this is the best definition of a chemical:
>a chemical is a molecule

>>9598100
>these rubber boots ground me

>>9598191
God this annoys the shit out of me, especially when it’s the only interpretation they known of

>>9598177
>plants RoundUp ready crops
>pours a shitton of RU
>uses protecting gloves and mask
>it's totally safe, guys, though
>fucked up aquifers

>free will doesn't exist because muh butterfly chaos theory

>>9598477
No, normies say the opposite

What is this? The national christian shitposting day?

>>9598477
free will does exist because 1.57 != 1.62

>>9598100
This is a big one.
I've been dragged into a bunch of heated arguments because of it.
My own fault, I know, but still.
Bitch, are you actually unaware of what you're made of? We all had biology and chemistry when we were fucking 10.

>>9598177
People like that piss me off the food is made to be better for you you absolute brainlet

>>9598100
>I don't like this because it seems like you're playing God.

>>9598170
>X is right because Science™ says so

shit said by retards for retards

>>9599557
Cool, but that's better than the opposite extreme

>X is right because Bible™ says so

>>9600379
Science is the new, lactose-free religion for reddit tier pseuds who think cucking is hip

>>9600403
Absolutely, but religious cucks didn't disappear overnight either

>>9598167
wait, isn't love chemical reactions in your body?
What's wrong with that?

>>9600419
Wait, isn't eating a delicious steak proteins entering your digestive system?

>>9600419
everything you think and feel is chemicals in your brain so basing the realness of love on that is pretty stupid

>>9600419
It is a retarded nihilistic argument, that ultimately makes everything in your life meaningless.
If "happiness" isn't more then "chemicals in your brain", you have reduced human emotions into meaninglessness.

>>9598237
>sun cream

>GMOs are bad for the planet and are not ecologic

>>9600426
and?

>>9600426
That's not nihilism. That's science. You know we can actually measure the chemicals that cause happiness right? We're not all in on some elaborate ruse, that's literally what it is.

>>9600443
>no fun allowed philosophy is scientifically right
sure, pal

>>9600446
>>9600448
almost gotcha, predictable faggot

>>9600451
Is this one of those:
>I'm just pretending to be retarded
posts I keep hearing about?

>>9600448
>using philosophy and science in the same sentence

>>9600459
pretending to disqualify feelings and qualia due to the physical systems that sources them is the same as disqualifying feelings and qualia because a desert jew book tells you is wrong to like it and/or want it

>>9600426
>If "happiness" isn't more then "chemicals in your brain", you have reduced human emotions into meaninglessness.
You're retarded.

>>9600461
>pretending to defy logic disregarding the semantics that separates concepts

>>9600462
No. One is a natural process built throigh millions of years of evolution. The other is a Jew book. They're not even remotely the same.

>>9600472
both are poor excuses to dislike what other people like, and tell them they are wrong to like it.
You seem to have difficulties with allegories and comparisons, Anon. What age are you?

>>9600482
25, you seem to have problems with basic brain chemistry. How old are you? Want my addy next so we can fuck?

>>9600488
>25 years old and believeing in love cocktails
take a load off this guy
>I-If I were to add a bit more of serotonine when I see boipucci, I will like it
You don't seem to know the basics of anything.

>>9600499
I don't believe in love cocktails. Where did you pull that?

>>9600504
As I tell earlier, friend, you seem to have a problem with comparisons. Maybe you're a bit autist.
Good day, sir

>>9600507
>You didn't I made it up
Just say that next time. You won't look like an idiot who has to put words in other people mouths to set up your own argument. There's a logical fallacy for that I believe. But of course it uses logic, so it might be slightly above your comprehension.

>>9598100
>I'm bad at taking tests

>>9600379
Honestly it's not better than that. In fact, it may even be worse. At least with relgious fanatics, they are limited, more or less, to what is in their religious books, such as bibles and kurans. As >>9600403 said, this Science™ is a new religion that has no bounds so it can be used to attack and 'discredit' anything.
Either way, they are both fucking retarded

>>9598100
>The Earth orbits around the sun
>The nearest star is Proxima Centauri

>There are billions of stars and solar systems in the galaxy
>solar system
>solar
>sol

>>9600627
I don't get this one. How is it wrong?

>>9600640
"Solar" means "of, and related to Sol".
Sol is the name of our star, and our star only.
The correct term is "star system", because there is only one "solar system" in the universe

>>9600429
maybe he's german

>>9598208
yup, every normie afraid of chemicals knows the definitions and is making an informed decision of which one to use

>>9600379
There is literally nothing wrong with religion. Anti-religion memes were just proto-SJW-ism.

>>9600722
I don't even know what you're trying to get at there, but the original point is just that it's 100% acceptable to use the word "chemicals" in that way.
Also if you really had an interest in linguistics you probably wouldn't be a filthy prescriptivist.

>>9600729
If you honestly believe in religious degeneracy you need to be gassed for the good of humanity. Believing in dogma is much worse than being one of those left-wing faggots, because at least in a generation they will all hop on to the next fad

>>9600734
im saying that being correct by accident doesnt mean shit

Love is a feeling, an experience. Saying that love is not real because of chemical reaction, would be the same as saying that there are no experiences at all, because you can trae them back to a chemical reation.

>>9600461
Oh man, I miss being 12. No, I actually don't and I cringe evertime when I think back of this time were I made dumb comments like that.

>>9600753
But you being wrong on purpose is somehow better?

>>9598167
Slap him and then say, "that pain isn't real, it's just chemicals and electric signals in your nerves!"

>>9600419
reductionism leads to illogical conclusions
>i don't believe love exists
>also love is just a chemical reaction
therefore he doesn't believe chemical reactions exist

>>9598100
>>9598100
Normie is a verb now.

>>9598167
>Chemical reactions arent real
Truely the patricians viewpoint on nihlism

>>9600753
How is it an accident? If you use a word correctly you use it correctly. They probably learned how to use that word like most everyone learns all the vocabulary they know, by hearing someone else use it that way.

>>9599539

>>9598167
No, you wanted the shit we say thread over that way.

>>9602690
Fucking kek mate.

The earth orbits around a barycenter, that is the center of mass of the sun and earth.


The nearest star is the sun...

>>9602690
No, the Earth orbits the center of mass of the Earth-Sun system.
The nearest star is the sun.

>>9602778
>>9602780
The nearest star depends on where you live, retards. Here in LA it's probably Ben Affleck I guess?

>>9602785

>wow bro you can do advanced thermos dynamic equations? You're a fucking genius!
All you need to know is transposition.

>>9600424
Except thinking can be rational yet there is no way to justify or describe love in a logical way.

>>9601973
yeah that's true as well?

>>9598181
implying reality has to give two shits about logic which is bound by human measly intellect

They aren't correct in their usage though. Something can be 100% organic and still have contents that meet either definition of "chemical"

I don't believe in life. It's just, like, a bunch of sets of self-sustaining chemical reactions on a planet bro. It's not real.

>>9603249
gmo's are usually safe and don't deserve 90% of the bad press they get, but the "roundup ready" shit is seriously dangerous. glyphosate is most definitely toxic to mammals in large doses-- several farmers have died from being exposed to it. in smaller doses it acts as a mitogen and increases the risk of cancer.

>I never eat hot dogs. You wouldn't either if you knew how they made them!

This board and website literally houses some of the most undesirable people on the planet personality wise.

Its almost funny. I don't know how you people do it and wonder if there are limits to how unlikable you people can be.

>>9606414
Can I pay you money to go fuck yourself

>>9603770
this better be bait.

>>9598100

Fat is bad and low-fat items are better.

You have to do a million reps of a million retarded aerobic exercises in a million minutes in order to get fit.

"I'm going to the treadmill machine" - there is not a more wasteful and stupid machine as the treadmill. Fucks up your gait and has the audacity to have calorie counters, even though a couple of cokes obliterate any caloric deficiency cause by the exercise.

"Pascal's Wager makes sense" - Retarded normies that never played around with groups and/or sets in their heads.

>>9606322
This one irks the shit out of me too

But Hebrew dogs are pretty good. Even if theyre for the swine

>>9606990
CONT

"You need to do aerobics anon!" - Retards who don't realize that their heart muscle doesn't regenerate. There's a reason long-distance runners have a higher rate of dying suddenly than non-runners. I'd rather weight-lift and be able to do explosive sprints.

"You need sunscreen!" - Only applicable in environments where you have to stand for hours outside. Otherwise most sunscreens are carcinogenic and skin cancer is a lot easier to observe and treat than other cancers. It's why sailors (used to) have something like 8x the rates for skin cancer but a 60% reduction on risk for other types of cancers.

"You have to use body lotion, shampoo, conditioner in the shower! And you have to put on deodorant!" - I'm hedging that most people are retarded and don't realize how "foreign" modern chemical agents are to human bodies.

>>9606990
>>9607006
CONT

"You have to calorie count" - Want to know how they calculate the calories for a piece of food? They use a caloriometer on each ingredient by itself. Fucking retarded. And then the body treats macros differently so a high-carb diet will raise insulin, promote the storage of more fat, and block Leptin from actually working.

>>9607012
so a high-carb diet (well most of them. There's tribes who feed on plants that have a far different effect than grain monocultures)

>>9606990
