Topic where I know more than you about things.

Hey guys

Just making a thread that's more honest about it's subject matter. Here we try to one-up each other on various topics pertaining to contemporary pop culture issues, guns and various video games and technologies with "informative" posts formed after a quick visit to wikipedia.

I'll start us off with the subject of "alternative energy": Why do they call it clean coal when it ISN'T REALLY CLEAN AT ALL? Jeez!

 

[Top Secret]

Obviously they scrub the nuggets really hard prior to igniting them.

 

[Robbo]

Cause thats what the 'marketing department' told them to call it.....

 

[Qonfused]

This should be in Politics.

Excellent contribution, Diane.

It's 'clean' because it has nothing except CO2 emissions, and they have cut the noxious fumes and other poisonous stuff down to minimal levels.

My question is why we insist that uranium power is some sort of messiah, there's a highly limited supply and its byproducts are fantastically dangerous. In addition its ability to turn thermal into electrical is just as wildly inefficient as coal.

bet u ddnt know tha energy is causing the melt caps 2 melt and globel warming - if youd read on it instead of destroying the good love green earth you woudnt be such a dumass

Every book I've read about this subject says that nuclear power sucks. Only the misinformed think otherwise.

When will we ever win the war against bacteria. We're up to 99%. Surely that last 1% doesnt require that much more of a push.

Did we win some kind of propoganda war where we lured LKCI Immunitas onto our side?

What happens if you pour Dettol into a Yakult?

reverting back to gov't websites brings Mordin into a depressed mood for lack of anything funny or worthwhile. interest lost in this debate, turning off monitor saves money on...electric bill. conserving energy saves children from asthma! cure i will find, time will need

What's up with Ovaltines?

Why do you get that feeling that somebody is watching you? I just got an overwhelming feeling of that in my kitchen just now as I was getting a snack and a glass of milk. Nobody else awake in the house.

A deep sense of what I would describe as "fear", that somebody was watching me at that moment... just enveloped me and stayed with me until I left the kitchen.

Evolution made us fear the dark and feel exposed when we're alone so that we would survive and concentrate in groups.

Except I go in the kitchen at night all the time... and that almost never happens to me. Why some nights on a rarity and others not a twinge of anything other than the need to om nom nom?

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

This thread is going stupendously! I love you guys.

 

[Vegeta897]

Eh, it doesn't seem like everyone gets it.

 

[Danimal]

Vegeta if you "got" this thread, you wouldn't be posting in it.

Wait.

****.

 

[YROC]

Why is it that I get extremely lightheaded when I yawn sometimes?

Nature is a strange and inefficient bitch.

You seem really well informed on that topic, please continue.

I like the part where the signifiers seem to go on forever. The multiplicity of meanings, arbitrary nature of the supplement, etc.

p.s. repression hypothesis
