...the fact that the way I played the mod in order to set up the Kingdom means war is essentially on a hair trigger?  Due to the dominant culture being stated by the mod author germanic influenced, I'll probably be having the dominant culture be somewhat based on World War I Germany?

I'll send the link to anyone who messages me wanting it.  As I said, I'm fairly sure it won't break rule 6 of the forum guidelines, but since I'm not one hundred percent certain, I don't want to risk posting it in a thread.

Today's WTF people still apparently believe that drinking soda actually makes you thirstier and that you will die if you drink nothing but it for more than a couple days.

When I mentioned that I exclusively drink soda and really only drink water when I'm out of soda (exceedingly rare, I always buy at least one more carton when I only have one left) and that I'm not dead yet, they told me that I can't talk because I'm not a scientist.   Wat.

So I am a living example of that being a complete myth and being absolutely untrue, but I'm not a scientist so I don't count.  What the fuck.

P.S. Yes I am completely aware that replacing water with Dr Pepper is not healthy.  Caffine addiction is NOT a myth.

do you have any teeth left?

[Greiger]

Yes, though 2 need a root canal and one is crowned.  Though that's more from not speaking to a dentist in over a decade (that is of course, before I went and got checked and got the crown.) than anything else.

Hell I still have all my wisdom teeth.

[Rolan7]

My mother was opposed to soda as I grew up, so over time I got the impression that sugar causes thirst like salt water.
Not exactly true, though actually true to a certain degree for me.

I do love sweet things, but only occasionally.  And I can't really help myself when they're around, so I tend to not buy any.  A cowardly kind of moderation.

I do often partake of diet soda and herbal tea, though.  Mmhm.

Fakedit:  Well, my wisdom teeth had to be removed.  And so it goes~

Well, caffeine is a diuretic, soo... Technically, you need more fluids if you drink caffeinated things since you're losing fluids faster, but it's not exactly an impossible hit to take. You just have to drink a lot more.

It is a surprisingly amount of additional drinking that you do when you're on caffeine. I remember being shocked at how few times I was urinated per diem after swapping to water and herbal tea only.

The fatality thing is a total myth. There was a time when I probably went 6-8 months without so much as a drink of a water.

[Neonivek]

Well even though you pee more when drinking coffee you do hydrate more liquids than you lose. (Wow, that was... not proper grammar/English... But hopefully someone will get a kick out of me saying that)

[hector13]

Well yeah, the main constituent of a cup of coffee is water. Much like the main constituent of soda is water.

[AzyWng]

What the heck is this.

Incidentally, I pretty much only drink water and sometimes fruit juice.

And milk in the mornings.

Things like soda are more of a thing I specifically have to reach into the refrigerator and think "Ok, I'll get a soda" rather than something I pick up without thinking.

On another topic, is anyone else here a self proclaimed hip hop enthusiast? I haven't listened in a long time, but it's almost obligatory to listen to this song when you're studying math, and with finals coming up i've actualy had to study for the first time in a while. I've been getting back into it from there, but anybody know what the good stuff is these days?

[Rolan7]

I'm no *enthusiast*, but my brother is, and he gradually was able to show me there's a lot of good stuff there.
In places.  Even "gangster" raps, when they attack social issues rather than glorify them... 

Anyway I still love this song whenever I code.  Or design something particularly complicated in modded Minecraft https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBQracyvSk0

The whole album is great, but this one was of the singles that got through to me...

[helmacon]

Wait a second, is he the guy that did Clint eastwood in the Gorillaz?
 
I definitely recognize that voice.

[Rolan7]

Haha, good catch!  HIGH FIVE!
Yes, he's Deltron of Clint Eastwood!

That's a pretty old reference, I wasn't even going for, so that feels really good (:

WTF wise, then, have a SWING VERSION https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVwqSlTFQq0

[helmacon]

*Virtual High Five!*

That was amazing! I just spent like 10min playing that and the original back to back. Very talented people.

A few dozen clicks down the rabbit hole from that video landed me at another WTF, so... enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbQgXeY_zi4

I'm not sure what to make of it...

[Rolan7]

That's... hrm.  Basically the epitome of modern "oh wait, swing is awesome".  And it is a REALLY GOOD song, and maybe even better music video!  But swing is more than that - there are swing versions over everything, and I hope you keep going!

Glad you liked the Swing-ified Deltron though!
