    Gatorade isn't a soft drink, it's a sports drink.

    It's meant to cure dehydration by replenishing fluids and electrolytes, not to be pleasurable to drink due to sweetness, carbonation, and a mildly addictive chemical.

    Originally it was a hangover cure. Florida Gators kept showing up to practice hungover.

    It's not, but it is a drastic simplification that isn't 100% accurate. Shared because it's amusing.

    After being asked why football players didn't have to stop and pee during games, and concluding that it had something to do with how much they sweated during the games and practices, two medical doctors doing research at the University of Florida Medical started researching the mechanics of sweating and then studying the Florida Gator's freshmen team, including collecting their sweat and running tests on it.

    Gatorade was originally just s chemical replication of sweat—the same amount of water and various electrolytes but was inedible(one of the researchers threw up after drinking the prototype) so they added lemon, orange, and artificial sweeteners to make it go down.

    At the time, dehydration was a big issue: Conventional wisdom was that drinking water was bad because it made football players sluggish. Heavy physical activity+flidica heat+no water equals players who are dead on their feet. Once they got Gatorade edible enough for the team to drink, the Gators started winning.

    While it wasn't exclusively a hangover cure, it was used as such by hungover players during its development before it arrived in its final form.

    And, to be fair, it's effective as such. Part of the reason for a hangover is dehydration and depletion of electrolytes.

    Happy π day, everyone!

    The admins at the office shipped everyone pies for π day this year, which was really nice of them. Really good ones, too. I guess our fun budget has been languishing for the last year, so there was some money for them to play with.

    In 1997, the Simpsons writers included a pro-LGBT message into the show with the episode Homer's phobia, guest-starring John Waters as a fictionalized version of himself.

    It contains the morals of "Homophobia is inherently stupid," "a child imitating flamboyant mannerisms does not mean the child is 'turning' gay" and "it doesn't matter if your kid turns out to be gay, they're still your kid."

    The Simpsons writers had to have it explained to them that having Homer unironically use a homophobic slur while panicking about the new family friend being a homosexual might be a step too far.

    The idea that that had to be explained to people who were trying to push a pro-LGBT message seems alien from my perspective.

    It sounds like a bad joke, doesn't it?

    Its the weird thing about ignorance isn't it?

    also, the Simpsons quickly became a cultural icon because they were more relatable than the happy family sitcoms they had at the time, so Homer quickly became the protagonist and stand in for the Average American Person because he is imperfect (whether thats good thing or bad thing depends on your point of view) so....one can see why that might provoke a reaction to him using that.

    I learned about the Simpsons significance when watching a youtube video about how there will never be episode like the Frank Grimes episode ever again. whats really alien is that Frank Grimes is supposed to represent the classic hard-working american hero in contrast to Homer's lazy slacker dumb life, and I'd say that Frank Grimes could be just as relatable and predictive of some people today, when he was made to be a villain and demonstration of someone who cares too much about fairness living in an unfair world.....cut to today, where arguably people care more about fairness than Frank Grimes ever did and live in conditions closer to what he does. but then the video said the Simpsons went downhill after that, as that episode the last hurrah by anyone connected to the original creators.

    I've seen a video that argues that Frank Grimes is a perfect example of someone who's been brainwashed into following "The Cult of Work."

    In short, the idea that hard work in and of itself is meaningful and in a just world would be rewarded and that if you're not rewarded t's becuase someone else is parasitizing your efforts and metaphorically taking the food from your mouth... Which is not true and has never been true.

    The truth is that effort has no intrinsic relationship to success or failure. Whether you succeed or fail and whether or not the effort you put in gets proportionate results depends on a number of factors, some of which are forever outside your control.

    There are details that I really can't go into here for a number of reasons, but the gist of it is that neither Frank Grimes nor Homer Simpson are the "bad guy."

    The true antagonist of the episode is Mr. Burns.

    Homer is somewhat insensitive to Frank, yes, but he means well and just wanted to be friends with the new guy, and Frank isn't exactly wrong to think that Homer just stumbles into good fortune, becuase he doesn't see just how much Homer's life sucks in between the big adventures that outrage Frank. Frank's own misfortune also skews his perception of what's normal.

    Homer can't be blamed, however, for accepting good fortune that stumbles into his lap, especially when he has a wife and three kids to support and his job provides more than enough money to do so. Especially when you consider that later episodes establish that his job is 1: completely redundant and 2: Not something Burns gives a damn about beyond having enough to keep the government off his back, so, despite what Frank asserts, Homer is essentially being paid to sleep. You can't blame someone for taking such a position when they desperately need money.

    Frank, meanwhile, can't be blamed for being bitter, given his cartoonishly tragic life, and especially the fact that he was scouted out and promised a job as the Vice President of the plant only to be immediatly replaced with a literal Dog the second he showed up for work, just shoving Frank into a completly meaningless seat filler job... Nor can he be blamed for being angry when he say, gets punished for saving a man's life.

    The instigator of the conflict between Frank and Homer is Mr. Burns. He's the one who hired a dangerously underqualified man for a position that would be vitally important in any other power plant. He's the one that promised Frank a cushy, high-paying executive job due to being impressed with Frank's determination and work ethic—an affirmation of everything that Frank had ever worked for—only to screw him over a whim. Mister Burns is the one who chastises Frank for "wasting precious acid" when Frank saves Homer's life.

    But Frank is so deluded by the belief of the intrinsic value of work that instead of blaming the man actually responsible for his recent misfortune he lashes out at a convenient scapegoat who conforms to all of Frank's biases about what's wrong with the world. When that fails to solve his problems he suffers a psychiatric break and ultimately destroys himself...

    ...And it's ambiguous if his death was an accident or deliberate suicide.

    And odds are that none of that was intentional. The writers are pretty clear on their intent was to show that a "normal" man couldn't survive in a place like Springfield.

    I'm sure that π doesn't start 14.3

    I'm fact, I'm fairly certain pie starts with sieving flour. And now I say that I want to make my pizza dough again.


    I'm a weird place right now, and might have accidentally done something I shouldn't. Relationships are hard, I'm just hoping that my partner understands that I tend to worry about things anyway, and I'd much rather talk about this now so that we don't have to have the conversation later.

    Yeah thats what some the interpretations I've seen mentioned. both and that writers intent.

    But Simpsons is one of those shows that sometimes says a lot more than it actually intends, and thats to the benefit of us. sometimes what isn't intended, IS whats important.

    Yeah.

    A more comical example: One episode has Lisa get hooked on nicotine due to the older girls in her ballet class smoking during the breaks to keep off the weight and stay focused and Lisa getting it second hand.

    On a windy day, Lisa can't get her fix from secondhand and grabs an actual cigarette... Only for Homer to materialize seemingly from nowhere, rip it out of her hand, throw it to the ground, stomp it out, and pull a gun and shoot the cigarette.

    This is meant to be an overreaction Homer's part... But speaking as someone who watched a man die from tobacco use, if anything it's an underreaction.

    ...Honestly that's a good episode for Homer in general.

    I'm quite fond of a white country-style breakfast sausage gravy as a potpie filling.

    I've also had a store-bought "meat-lovers" potpie that was meatballs and pepperoni in a marinara sauce baked into a pie. Probably my favorite savory pie.

    I gotta try making that from scratch sometime.

    Also wanna try making some cheesy pocket pies with puff pastry. I've seen one that's filled with cheddar sauce and mozzarella and one that's and stuffed with a cream-cheese-ricotta-spinach mixture.

    Every Chicago style pizza I have had has had an upper crust. Speaking of, the local grocer has some deep dish in their frozen section that looks halfway decent. My wife doesn't like Chicago style pizza, rider I would report more fully in its properties. They had a cheese and a sausage option.

    I can't keep up with what kind of deep dish is from where.

    I like the ones that are a depression filled with Italian cheeses and topped with a layer of seasoned tomato paste.

    You soar your
    Way down the air
    To the floor
    Where my other
    Rocks
    Are.
