That our tongues have different areas for different tastes.
Sure! Anyone who speaks multiple languages thinks back and forth. But that's really not what she meant...

Define "correct."The pronunciation of the word "forte" when used as a synonym of "skill".
Most people say "for-tay" but the correct pronunciation is one syllable: "fort".
The most current science seems to suggest, perhaps unsurprisingly, that we may be taking our obsession with hydration a bit too far. Alex Hutchinson is my go-to source of knowledge on sport science (buy his book; I did) and he writes regularly on hydration and exercise. My own understanding on the current science of hydration in sports has changed, informed in part by scientists like Alex. Like many other fields, the evidence keeps emerging, but the current science-based approach seems to be as follows:
Drink according to your thirst seems to be the most practical approach to hydration. You dont need to hydrate if youre not thirsty. This advice is relevant to both day-to-day activities as well as athletics. There is no need to drink a specific amount of water per day, nor is there a requirement to drink constantly while you exercise.
Mild dehydration doesnt appear to impair performance in endurance athletes.
Overhydration in sports, particularly in slower long-distance runners that may ignore the above, is a real risk. Overhydration combined with exercise can lead to hyponatremia (low sodium), which can be a serious medical issue.
In general, sugary beverages provide calories but not satiety, so they should be consumed in moderation. In most cases, water is probably the perfect beverage for hydration, exercise or otherwise.
For long-duration endurance sports, some carbohydrate (like sugar) may be helpful. While some electrolytes may be helpful, you dont need your hydration beverage to contain vitamins. You generally dont need to worry about carbohydrates and electrolytes during a soccer game or similar short sporting events.
When it comes to athletics, theres a lot of interesting science that continues to challenge what we think we know about hydration. Researchers continue to explore the differences between thirst sensations, dehydration, and performance. Expectations about hydration, and thirst, may influence performance more than ones hydration status itself.
I used to think the expression was "You want your cake and eat it, too." The actual expression is "You want to eat your cake and have it to."
what the fuck is a jackolope
A disease ridden bunny. Looks like it has antlers
Not quite. There is rabbits that have tumors, but a jackalope is a mytho logical animal
Yeah but isn't that the inspiration behind the myth? Or is that another misconception?
Yes but order is incorrect. You *can* have your cake and eat it too. But you cannot eat your cake and have it, too.The common wording is "have your cake and eat it too"
Lol at fort/fortay even if correct:
Lebron James is playing golf but it's not his fort.
Yes but order is incorrect. You *can* have your cake and eat it too. But you cannot eat your cake and have it, too.
Apparently dogs dont sleep outside in doghouses.
Life sucks now
The pronunciation of the word "forte" when used as a synonym of "skill".
Most people say "for-tay" but the correct pronunciation is one syllable: "fort".
(In the context of musical notation though it is pronounced "for-tay".)
WatYeah it's kinda messed up how a disease makes them look the way they do. Pretty grisly. Easy to think that's why a jackalope exists though.
Has someone said "the existence of God" yet?
No but really.
I used to think our blood was actually colored blue when it was without oxygen.
Such a poorly thought out diagram, so common in classrooms even today! Although I'm talking up to my teenage years when I realised it made no sense.
That there is such a thing as human races.
I used to believe that people are generally good with a few bad ones. That has flipped since around the beginning of 2016.
Eating Carrots Will Improve Your Vision
Fact: Carrots are high in vitamin A, a nutrient essential for good vision. Eating carrots will provide you with the small amount of vitamin A needed for good vision, but vitamin A isn't limited to rabbit food; it can also be found in milk, cheese, egg yolk, and liver.
