At 5, I learned to eat peanuts with a chopstick from the really cute Japanese girl in preschool during a show and tell day. She wore a kimono and geta.

Pretty sure I've seen this exact joke before, only with "like, share and subscribe". It's definitely in the realm of "not so improbable as to be ridiculous", but at the very least I suspect someone's stealing the story.

Walked into my bank (which I am not here to shill for so shall remain nameless but is NOT Chase, Citi, BOA, or WF) on Park Avenue today, and told them to sweep (almost) every penny from my accounts to my personal account and wire to it to Metropolitan Commercial Bank f/b/o Coinbase f/f/b/o My coinbase account.

He smiled and said "I did mine this morning, looks to be a great day" as he prepared the wire form.

Then they offered me box of Godiva chocolates, and gave me an umbrella as I walked out with less than $100 total left across all my accounts.

Moral of the story? Fire your bank if they don't let you buy bitcoin, and get a new one that understands that it is perfectly legal to buy bitcoin as an investment.

edit: I did NOT fire my good bank! I just took all my "old" money out (until my next paycheck hits with some "new" money).

I am worried. You don't have a Vacciscanner so you can detect the anti-vaxxer kids. So that means autism FOR EVERYONE!

That story hits a lot closer to home now. Found out a co-worker is an anti-vaxxer on motherfucking MUH FREEDOMS grounds, so I told them I believe anyone who doesn’t vaccinate in this era is complicit in murder.

She and I aren’t going to be talking to each other any more outside of strictly work dialogue.

I once fed my child apples and now he has CYANIDE in his body! :supaburn:

Some fruits/nuits like Apples and Almonds contain stuff that the processes in the body can turn into a cyanide but only trace amounts and certainly not enough to harm you - the only reason people get sick from it is eating ludicrous amounts like Prince George. A cyanide is any chemical that has a C=N double bond IIRC, so considering every biological thing has Carbon and Nitrogen as key parts of their makeup (like in amino acids and DNA, along with Oxygen and Hydrogen[WHICH CAN BOTH EXPLODE!]) means it's practically unavoidable.

These fuckers will definitely make you sick/considerably poison you if you eat more than like, 2 or 3. The amygdalin (aka b17, by assholes who try to hide this fact) metabolizes into cyanide. Eating too many will loving kill you dead.

Then you have poo poo like this:

Maybe it's just me, but I think anyone stupid enough to eat enough of these to be lethal (hell, to eat them at all, really) kinda deserves what they get. Darwinism at work and all that.

fun fact, cancer cells tend to rely less on oxidative phosphorylation and do a whole lot more glycolysis (since tumors tend to have very unreliable blood/oxygen supplies anyways) -- meaning that cyanide poisoning would kill all of your own cells that you want to keep but probably leave the cancer cells intact. basically the opposite of "a toxic synergy that specifically targets cancer cells."

My best friend (and father of my godson) has had a kidney removed because of cancer. His mom had a double mastectomy because of breast cancer. His dad died of stomach cancer. All in the span of 3-4 years. Not sure if they have lovely genes or lovely luck, but in that kind of scenario, you get desperate and want so hard to believe in miracle cures... I definitely didn't know how to react when he told me about apricot pits and everything big pharma didn't want us to know.
