This keeps getting repeated all around the comments, but it's absolutely false. Christians, Jews and Muslims are monotheistic and all claim to be the religion of the One God, yes. But the Jews rejected the God the Christians believe in

Are you referring specifically and exclusively to LSD? Or to hallucinogens in general? A friend of my brother was doing shrooms with a couple other guys, had a bad trip and actually offed himself as part of the trip. Please don't try t

Chickens definitely can and do eat eggs. Ideally cooked, good protein source for them. However, you have a big problem if they discover they can crack eggs and eat the contents. They go crazy on them and it's difficult to get them to s

Nah, money can buy pleasure, security, confidence, comfort... but happiness is not necessarily a consequence of that. Some rich people live a very unhappy life. I wouldn't trade places with them for their money. CAN you be happy becaus

Back in 2016 when I didn't have much money I reluctantly bought a pair of Salomon hiking boots for what I thought was a crazy ~140€ price tag. After punishing them heavily with hiking, working (concrete, dust, mud, stones, rocks, metal

Do you perceive this as a tech-specific thing though? I'm a software engineer but this resonates with me more within other aspects of life in general than my professional background specifically.

People often think of hell as an active punishment form God, but for us humans it's not. Hell, whatever it is, is where people end up when they'd rather be there than be with Christ. God will never force you to love Him and accept

I generally agree with what you are saying, however I'm quite surprised at the pushback about homegrown eggs tasting better than mass-produced. Send me as many papers as you want, but respectfully, I have empirically tasted the differe

There are several conditions that have visible consequences, such as injuries, malformations, anomalies or a general affectation of their appearance. Plenty of those can be quite disturbing for someone with no experience.
