Who was the first person to look at that nasty-assed looking carrot and said to themselves — “Hmmm, let me put that in my mouth!”?? Amazing what humans can do, though … agriculture made civilization possible.
JAPS FOR THE WIN!!
For Austrian Peter ….. which one are YOU?
There are about 470,000 words in Webster’s Dictionary. The average person has a working vocabulary of 30,000 words. We don’t know shit! If you asked me what “vagitus” meant, I surely wouldn’t have guessed the meaning below. —“RiNS was addicted to internet porn which resulted in vagitus of the brain disease.”
I hope there are birds in heaven! There is NOTHING in nature that puts me more at peace than sitting in the back patio and listening to the various birds singing their melodies. Every time I see a cardinal I say,”Hi, dad!”. Really, because he loved them so much (one is even engraved on his urn.)
I thought it would be interesting to post about FUCKING PARASITES.
For all you Shit-Flingers … and you are Legion … at least save the planet and wipe your asses with Earth Friendly paper!
For Mark and I Love CO2 …. please make tea’s from all of these, and then write a post urging us to drink it cuz you’re convinced it cures everything from Alzheimer’s to Zits.
China is virtually identical to America in land mass. It always amazed me that they squeeze 1.3 BILLION people therein. Now I’m even more amazed … over One Billion people in HALF the land mass of America!! These people really need to stop fucking for the next 20 or so years.
Murdering animals in their yute. Shameful! A good case for becoming a vegetarian?

Our Neighborhood. ALL these planets and stars are flat. FLAT, ya hear!! In fact, all those other galaxies probably don’t even exist! They’re just artist renderings of fictional bullshit, perpetrated upon us by people and organizations who do nothing but lie to us. Just ask Hardscrabble Farmer.
The guy who came up with this is Michele Ferrero. He’s worth over $20 BILLION dollars …. from making a nutritionally SHIT SHIT FUCKING SHIT product. I hope he rots in hell. My dad once bought it, didn’t like it, but since they NEVER threw food away, it languished in the fridge for about 4 years … not kidding … and it was still edible. WTF???
I actually counted how many ways the visual below shows White Supremacy exists. SEVENTY!! Please study this and mend your fucken evil Whiteness!!
This is how Gerrymandering works. Just one of many ways to make your vote IRRELEVANT. But, go ahead … ‘Vote Harder’ if it makes you feel gooood.
The sheer complexity of the human metabolic system is a wonder to behold. The maker of this chart stated that his chart is still incomplete, that there is still much we do NOT know … and that no one really understands all the linkages, dependencies, and interactions. Soooo, along comes a new “virus”, and then at Warp Speed a “cure” is found!! Riiiight!
I included this because I was rather surprised how LITTLE land is dedicated to “food we eat”. And how much land the Feds own. And, what’s up with the fucken COWS??
Totally useless info. BUT, there’s some damned good comedies.
Can you get all these without looking? I learned this when I was about 13 years old while in the Civil Air Patrol. Never used it. All these years later, I still got ’em all. Human memory is amazing.
Anyone wanna call BULLSHIT!! on America’s gold reserves?
I love illusions. Why? Because Life might be an illusion. Did one or two original articles on it. That checkerboard with the green cylinder on it? I don’t care what anyone says! There are TWO SHADES of gray!!!!

In closing, dedicated to our own ‘Zulu Foxtrot Golf’ …. who recently had a turtle named after him.

Only Stucky could call himself Mr. Attention Whore and dedicate an attention seeking infograph to himself.
That IS rather fucken amazing, fer sure.
I almost dedicated the “Fuck You” turtle to you.
Well done Stucky – a brilliant set of useful information which I always enjoy. And the answer is: Yes to the first 4 and No to the last 2 because I live in Somerset – the beautiful South West of England and was brought up here too. So my ‘baaath’ is like ‘Graaaph’ (long ‘a’) – some say it’s ‘posh’ but it is actually known as ‘Received Pronunciation (RP) English’
Wish I’d seen this when I moved to the UK in 2000, LOL. Fresh off the boat to Manchester proper from Pennsy. Sat on a the bus home to my flat and understood every single word used by others on it, but how these well understood words in Pennsy were strung together was as if a completely foreign language. It was a steep learning curve, but I survived and thrived.
Glad you survived SofH – you landed in a very difficult area for accents – I don’t understand them even now! 🙂
How is that extended (again) lockdown working for you?
Good to see the SS Coalburner chugging along in fair fashion.
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.” – Isaiah 45:7
Ahhh. So THAT’S where evil comes from! Nicely done.
You cant have the yin without the yang.
Its either robots or free will.
Free will implies choice.
God gave us a choice of good or evil.
He must like it that way. Else He would have done something
you or I would do. But its all His so He gets to use His freewill
and choose. And btw, He aint worried one bit what you or I think of it.
He created us for His pleasure it says somewhere in the bible.
IF we were created to love him and be pleasing to Him then it would not be genuine.
Love for God (or anyone)has to come about from a free choice, otherwise it’s without value.
Thus I think actually He may not be “worried” about we think of it, but he does care what we think – and especially do- about it all.
Actually “he” does, the unvaccinated shall inherit the earth, as fucked up as that might be. Not sure anyone will survive because the Great Reset don’t get that no one will be around to run the nuclear power plants.
Stucky, you might be interested in this playlist.
This is the crux, but the setup helps. Maybe start at 2.0?
Thanks, Doug. I know you meant well, BUT …
… at this stage of my life, I am searching for Reasons To Believe, and not for Reasons To NOT Believe.
Sorry it leans the wrong way for you. Funny, but that video series treats your need to believe with complete respect and insight. I think the analysis is a fantastic example of superlatively impeccable human reason. It only ‘deepened’ my conviction, so yes, it is dangerous that way. Like some other great analyses, if only I had come across it much sooner.
The way Evid3nc3 expresses himself is amazing. His God complex model is fantastic. What you believe, Stucky, is still a mystery to me, but apparently it has to do with Preteristism. If you ever feel the terror of disbelief and you wish to face that fear to the end, because you can’t run anymore, if and when you really need to turn and face a certain ‘it’, you want to watch that video series from start to finish (1.0 to 2.6 (+ Patreon, not active it seems)). I think the odds are decent that you will be able to empathize from start to finish, but that would make it all the more effective.
Is truth what is real or is truth what makes you successful? Deep question, friend.
I hope I can steer the young men hung on their intellectual integrity like a rope to that video series “Why I am no longer…” by Evid3nc3. I think he is smarter than me. That’s how much I think of that young man (still to me). You ain’t so bad either, Stucky.
What is best in life? We can’t all be Genghis Khan, but we all live in the same reality and that comes with some inescapable biological and social restrictions.
If you want to ‘believe’, why not go to the source? Jews and Free Masons allow zealous applicants of some character to join. Maybe become an orthodox Jew in NYC. You could join the Chabad-Lubavitch sect. It they can’t make you believe, who can?
Here’s the thing Doug, it’s not as if I’m unaware of the Case for Atheism. I’ve read Dawkins, Hitchens, Paine’s ‘Age of reason” cover to cover, as well as others.
I don’t have infinite time — no one does — so, I need to pick & choose. I have told you my choice, for better or worse. We are all on different paths, aren’t we?
Preterism, which deals with prophetic events, is only a small part of what I believe — whatever that is cuz I can’t label it.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Moishe Stuckystein
Stucky, if you’ve been on this journey of inquiry for more than five years, I agree that you are on a different path. IIRC, you have been in these parts 10 years, so that tells me that you would have gone objective reality if that were your primary driver.
If you have been questioning religion and faith by investigation for less than three years, I think you are not as far from my views as you think you are, but again you are a veteran here and apparently in life, so not likely.
I like that you do not try to force fit me into a fetish generic mold for all men for all seasons like the robotic bible thumpers here. That tells me you are rational, which is not too far from the scientific method (which is an artifact of philosophy).
But you also seem to have an emotional driver. If you have two primary drivers that diverge, that will hurt. I’m being very introspective here. Can you serve two masters? If you can’t label what you believe, perhaps you don’t know what you believe. There must be a primary foundation to any belief system, right? And that is the basis for a good name.
The ability to perfect one’s beliefs (and so self-identity) is a mental faculty few have, even here. Apparently, “I think; therefore, I’m alone.” The lack of convergence based on intelligence and the abundance of convergence based on stupidity is shocking, is it not? Shalom, Good Rabbi. The Force will be with you, always.
Preterism or Covenant eschatology is the belief that Christ did exactly what He said He would do when He said He would do it.
To make up a story like all other eschatologies is to drastically change the meaning of words, language, metaphors, as used in the first century by the sacred writers.
What everyone struggles with is the nature of Christs parousia.
Preconceived notions that are incorrect throw one off course when it comes
to understanding the redemption history.
Modern christians and others are adamant that Christ must return physically and visually. This is not true.
Christ stated that He would come in judgement as His Father had done in the old testament. He always sovereignly used other people and nations to exact his vengenance. Thats what Christ did in ad70 by causing the roman army under Titus to destroy old covenant Jerusalem.
That is what the history is about. There is nothing in scripture about any person or events after ad70. They lived the story not us. We reap the benefits.
We live in the New Covenant, which is nothing like the old covenant made with the hebrews by God at Sinai. Thank God for that, cause like them we couldnt keep that covenant either.
I don’t say this often but … reading your post was a BLESSING!!” Beautiful. Elegant. Accurate.
I still recall the first thing (of many) that drew me into preterism, that made it so appealing …. its simplicity and straightforwardness. The Occam’s Razor of eschatology, so to speak.
What a relief it was to not need charts like this!!!!
“I think he is smarter than me.”
You think he is smarter than this guy, High Ross ?
FWIW , I find Pat Robertson repulsive, but this isn’t about Pat Robertson , now is it.
My Story: Dr. Hugh Ross
The only reasonable conclusion I could see was that the Bible must be the inspired Word of God.
Dr. Hugh RosS
Studying Sacred Texts
At age 17, while beginning to serve as director of observations for Vancouver’s Royal Astronomical Society, I also began a very private study of the world’s sacred texts, testing them for accuracy.
My non-religious upbringing freed me from emotional attachment to any particular book or set of beliefs. So I started with the books revered by my neighbors, Eastern religious texts, and worked my way westward.
https://www.cru.org/us/en/how-to-know-god/my-story-a-life-changed/hugh-ross.html
“If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.”
Perhaps you’d find more advantage in seeking those reasons within the material realm? Meaning, rather than focusing on philosophical gymnastics, why not try on the shoes that say, “I no longer care about an ‘”objective “truth”‘ re: creator, I’ve decided that to perpetuate this meme, regardless of veracity, is materially advantageous to both myself and others.”
I know this is old hash and will not accomplish much, but here goes anyway.
Yup, I too was convinced by this “logic” for about 2 weeks. It started with Penn and Teller’s Bullshit episode about the Bible. From there I listened to a lot of Hitchens, and Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss. I found all of them to be smug and arrogant, but ultimately correct.
After about 2 weeks, some strange version of what I’d guess you’d call spirituality grew back and some months after that, it hit me all at once. There is a logical slight of hand done here and once you see it, it is impossible to un-see.
It involves the conflation of three terms (faith, religion and God) that have massively different domain boundaries. The Personal (Faith), The Human/Sociological/Historical/Anthropological (Religion) and the Cosmological (God).
So, this video does not express one single idea about the concept of God. It is entirely about the history of Religion and the history of how Human Beings, Societies and Cultures have expressed their notions of God. Of course, when viewed through this framework the expression of the idea of God evolves, just like literally everything else does.
And speaking of Evolution…it is a Theory–and I use Theory correctly, as in as solid of ground as there is in genuine science–that explains life on this planet for the last 1.2 billion years or so excellently. That does make it logical bedrock, though many of its pundits (as well as its naysayers) believe that to be the case. Evolution itself rests on a structure about which we have little to know idea and if we did, we would still have no idea if we were near cosmological bedrock or not.
Here’s another point on Evolution (and Bret Weinstein took Dawkins to task on this point) things that last pay the price of their existence. Religion is a Human Universal. This means that there is no known society anywhere in history that has not had some form of religion. QED… religion is paying the costs of its existence all the time and it endures.
Yet another point involving Evolution: evolution, as it is understood, has one biologicals function…to get an genetic material into the future. To serve this Nature does all kinds of abhorrent (from our perspective) things. Rape is a perfectly natural tool, so is war and even genocide. One could also say that Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Wrath, Pride, envy and sloth are EXACTLY the tools that Nature uses to get the genes of virtually all animal species into the future. However, these are directly counter to the development of Civilization. And does Science or Intellect provide a brake on these perfectly natural systems? No, only religion does that. So, yes, the kid in the video is correct about the history of “God” (as he misuses the term according to logical framework I have established), but what he is really discussing the remarkable evolution of the Religious (Human) concept of God (Cosmological, Unknown) from a violent and warlike deity, to a compassionate, merciful and sacrificing “God.” THIS is the most foundational level of Western Civilization. Not intellect and NOT science.
I am a fan of CS Lewis, but he was foolish in his quote that “Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.” Christianity cannot be entirely TRUE from a cosmological standpoint. I do not believe it is entirely FALSE, either. But no matter the degree of its falseness, it is of UTMOST, FOUNDATIONAL importance.
As far as Faith goes, this is what allows people to play above their petty, violent, desirous natures. It is possible to forgive even the most egregious wrongs with some Faith. Why is this a good thing? Well, for one its stops the inevitable destructive downward spiral of revenge. It also unburdens the wronged individual. In this way, it is divine. Faith allows a person to act honorable even if we assume everyone else is a lying, backstabbing thief …because its about a greater reward later. Sacrificing the now for the later. Another cornerstone of Civilization.
Faith just works, dammit. I wish I had more of it and I think so do all the atheists out there. They react to an imagined or even a real betrayal from religion and then claim the logical high-ground in their emotional stance without ever having gotten through all the logic. Many, I believe, deeply resent people of faith (I have and do) because they can play a higher game above all the petty and miserable sufferings of this life.
Now, once again, I have said nothing about the Cosmological–God–layer yet. Because I have no fucking clue and neither does anyone else. There is room for every thought everyone had EVER had along these lines to be wrong, and wildly wrong at that.
What I will say is that I believe the idea that we live an pure cause/effect deterministic universe where there was an explosion of 10^200 tiny billiard balls 14 billion years ago and we’re living during the break before they all settle is as much nonsense as saying that an anthropomorphized being snapped it all into existence 6000 years ago.
So what does that leave? A literal infinity of possibilities. Unknowable and unanswerable
All there is to do–at this level of thought–is to stare in stupid wonder at the unimaginable complexity and beauty of it all.
Yes, it does.
One of the best examples of this, imho, can be found in science —> the placebo effect.
Not gonna look it up but, I believe a placebo often is just as effective as the drug being tested …. all because people simply believed! That’s phenomenal if you stop to think about it.
What kind of lousy herb chart is that. Hey you missed one
And the Japs ain’t winning nothing. https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/ford/2020/06/24/ford-f-150-super-duty-pickups-economic-impact/3246206001/
Actually they missed way more than they listed.
Disclaimer: most of this is my personal speculation.
Everything is separated, light from darkness, good from evil, water from earth; etc. Because God has created good, there is also the capacity for evil which is the absence of good rather than a defined creation. The absence of good is evil, likewise the absence of light is darkness, the absence of dirt in the ground is a hole but none of these things can be defined without that which what created and is good. There is no particle or wave that is darkness, a hole can’t be separated from the material it is in.
It’s purely my own speculation but I think God wanted us to become what I would describe as more complete spiritual beings, having not just known about but experienced both good and evil. God will not compromise his holiness which is his utmost supreme quality.
God created Lucifer as a perfect being, like everyone else, and part of perfection is free will. It was and had to be Lucifer’s own choice to reject what is good; rather than God intentionally creating an entity to cause imperfection. An all powerful God that knows all things created and not-created will have known the created being’s choices before he was ever made without having chosen them for it. Likewise God knew us before we ever existed.
I could go on and on but the point is that God must protect his quality of holiness which is part of why events went they way they did.
—
On a similar note, I wish scripture contained more answers than it does but it’s not for me to decide. There is little saying that the Bible is “Basic instructions before leaving earth”. Heaven, Hell, and Earth are all created spaces and I sometimes wonder what exists outside of created spaces.
On a similar note, what was it like when God had self-realization. I speculate that all things created and not-created, existing and not existing, where here and not here in a state we limited creatures have ability to comprehend, but it is rational to expect one of those things is an all powerful, all knowing, all present God, that brought order and separations to all things made and unmade. I suppose you could think of evil as something that is not-made but rather defined by the absence of something that is made.
Before creation, there was no causality and literally no natural law to say something can’t come from nothing.
I’ll cut it short but I could babble on and on with people about such topics.
Hope this helps cure your delusion.

You are becoming quite a big fan of Michael Heiser. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
True. I thought I had a fair understanding of God, Satan and demons until I discovered Michael Heiser. He writes pretty good Sci-Fi too.
Huh! Didn’t know he wrote sci-fi. Have you read any? They get pretty good reviews on Amazon.
Yes, and almost prophetic, with government operators getting ready to reveal proof of aliens who are purportedly infecting with prion disease ( mad cow), which is caused by a spike protein, which inevitable leads to death via autoimmune diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Here: The Façade (The Façade Saga)
He promised a 3rd book in the series. Still waiting…taps foot.
Bad opossum.
Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a neurologic disease in horses caused by infection with the protozoan Sarcocystis neurona (SN). SN infects horses when they ingest the organism in contaminated feed or water. The definitive host of this organism is the opossum, which passes the organism in its feces.

Doesn’t Fauci say the same thing about the Coof.
Good stuff. The gold is held at military bases so is probably still there but I wonder who owns them.
Red Shield operations owned and probably in Liechtenstein rather than in KY.
I see what you did there.
And here I thought that the fed reserve and Fort Knox were just filled with scraps of paper having serial #s that say GOLD on them. I guess its time to plan my next boating accident.
Does it matter? If the amount and current value of that gold is shown correctly in the graphic, the entire reserve is only worth a little over 2% of the current National Debt.
I like the ‘figuring out God’ flowchart. Lotta evidence of the limits of human reasoning there.
Second runner-up: The two dimensional images that the compiler believes are three dimensional. (Hint, I looked behind my computer screen and they don’t poke through.
Interesting graphic regarding the problem of evil and an all-good, all-knowing, all-powerful God. The weak spot in the graphic is “Could God create a universe with free-will and no evil” and concludes that if he cannot, then he is not all powerful. But could it be that having free-will without the ability to do evil is like asking if God can create a rock too large for him to pick up. I think it is a logical fallacy dressed up as an argument.
What if evil was simply the absence of
goodGod?Or, what if the biblical conception of god is the problem?
I am that I am. What if I were the ultimate incarnation of evolution. Would you believe in me then, Jack?
We know your a nut behind a keyboard like the rest of us.
Uhh, there is an exact biblical conception of God?
There is a question on that? That is exactly what it is. Your distinction being key.
Heaven is the absence of evil, hell is the absence of good.
Here we are in this earthly realm with both.
Your choice. I know which one I pick.
And I do get to pick. So do you. It baffles me to no end, some people actually consciously “pick” evil. Like the satan worshipers. What are they thinking? I don’t get those who choose the evil one when eternity is at stake. Just can’t comprehend that. I do understand those who are confused or are lukewarm, and therefore make no conscious decision. But to consciously choose to go to hell?
I don’t think so.
Henry Ford purportedly said you can have any color Ford car … as long as it’s black. Did he actually give a choice of colors? Not hardly.
You are free to choose what’s behind Door A, Door B, or Door C. Just hit the appropriate button, says the host. You hit the Door B button on your key pad a thousand times, but it doesn’t work. You try Door C, hit the button a thousand times, and it doesn’t work either. You hit Door A, and it works the first time. Did you actually willingly choose Door A? No.
In order to have free will, you MUST be able to choose evil. Anything other than that makes you a robot.
“In order to have free will you must be able to chose evil”. I think that would be accurate. I think that being able to eliminate evil with any action necessary should be built in as well.
Tension was built into the Creation and it must be resolved.
https://godskingdom.org/studies/books/creations-jubilee/chapter-13-the-tension-in-creation
“For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope [expectation] that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.”
Correct. This is the false choice example of what we increasingly are experiencing with our very own government and monopolies.
Interesting if you are limited to a child’s mind.

I experienced that post as a cross between an amusement park ride and a carnival attraction. Except it was more informational. And it was free. And more fun, too.
Thanks, Stuck😁👍
Mr. Stucky;
Brohan, you seriously have too much spare time on your hands.
Here is an alternate perspective for the Epicurean paradox:
Shakespeare was wrong. First, the universalist social engineers.
Thanks for including an Omeleto short. I love those. On this one the claim s made …
—1) God created the entire universe just for ME (or, YOU)
—2) I (you) am EVERY person who ever lived. I am Hitler. I am Gandhi. etc
I reject both propositions for their Absurdity.
Absurdity is a prerequisite to defining the boundaries for the sagacious.
And how often has the theater of the absurd come to represent reality?
e.g. recent events?
You would be dangerously close to suggesting truth is known by evidence-based reasoning, which is not faith.
You’re not yet a level 33 wise guy Mormon, Stucky. Reality bending and synthesis by the little minds is truly astonishing. The obvious divinity is the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Ye who disbelieves is going to the eternal dumpster of olfactory torture. Only meatless spaghetti sauce and not believing in Italian chosenness is evil.
The financial advice graphic alone was invaluable.
First of all, “former” opossum killer is misleading because we still kill them back if they come for our chickens.
We also kill raccoons, because we only like them in pelt form. I still have the little Coonskin and hopefully, someday, when sanity reigns again, his little tales can be told.
Meanwhile, life moves forward. Oh, and unbeknownst to me? My husband sold that GME stock as soon as it hit 320. (Bought at 250) He has made a fortune being a scaredy cat with no risk tolerance.

Let me just focus in on one of the 27…the population density of China…and the dammed DAM…

Yeah … about that dam … it’s gonna be like this …
It looks like the turtle is giving the middle finger.
That’s why I named it after ZFG …. Zero Fucks Given.
Stuckster, where do you find this stuff?….. and DO NOT say the internet! Anyway on types of tired # 10 should be hungover. I think most TBPers have experienced that but maybe I am stereotyping. I would love to know how much property costs in the 6% population of China but I guess the government owns it all. My parents had a sweet 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass! I drove the crap out of it but it would not spin the tires it was a POS, and no brake torqueing does not count. My car was a 72 Mustang Mach 1 351 Cleveland, got it in 78, which would put the rear end side ways being single track and all….good times! Stucky keep up the good work. You have always contributed a lot to this site and I for one appreciate it!
AWESOME!! When I was stationed at Forbes AFB in Kansas, my best friend bought himself a brand new one! (Well, it was a ’72 Mach I … not sure about the “Cleveland” part.) The day after he got it he started souping it up. Really. Fucker was fast as hell when he was done. The SOB would never let me drive it, though! But, I sure as hell enjoyed riding around in it … it was a real head-turner, and LOUD.
I like the ammo in the first pic(the tupperware gun/not as much though have a few).
I personally like the IMI hollow point,good round with out the fancy cap names and cost.
Threat level 3A will stop this,you have a vest(with level 4 rifle plates……..,right?).
Head shots ect. do away with the aforementioned vests value,keep practicing!
I forgot to label that pic. For Ammo NOOBS … those pics show different types of bullets AFTER they penetrate the target.
Eh,they show bullet pre- cased and actual bullet after hitting something(in these pics probably “ballistic gel”,am sure all have some in their garage kitchen…..,right?
I suppose bullets could have hit 3 A vest,will still leave a mark/bruised/broken ribs perhaps ect.,still,beats having bullet open in torso!
I believe the author rounded up 14 BLM fuktards and shot each one in the nuts.
Eh,Stuckman,then the bullets would not have expanded/fragmented as they hit nothing,I mean,you are not implying blm members actually have testicles,are you…….?!
Once you learn the phonetic alphabet it’s always a hoot to listen to someone make one up on the fly.
Very informative post- excluding the fake space stuff.
You got your own annotation on the Land Use map!! Looks like maple syrup ties up land about the size of Connecticut. That was surprising. Actually, a lot on that map was surprising.
No, cows do not live 20 years. If you get 15, you’ve won the odds.
I’ve been involved with raising cattle since I was 6, I’m 63. We have the oldest cow we have ever had at age 17. Her name is Daisy. She has no teeth left, her hooves curl upward making it hard to walk. She is 3 years older than the last record holder. The average age is about 11 years. That’s the average of having raised over 10,000 cows over 55 years.
Chickens last 5, tops.
Some of these ‘guides’ are pure fantasy.
Not surprising. Most are made by rank amateurs. A few are made by professionals … like the doctor who made that truly amazing overview of the metabolic system.
Agreed. And while you can slaughter a cow at 18 months, that has more to do with feed costs and portion control at the restaurant level than it does with maturity. We raise them on 100% grass slaughter them at 4 years. Huge difference.
And the only kind of chicken that can be harvested at 6 weeks is a Cornish X and with their genetics they couldn’t live past six months, never mind 6 years.
Lots of BS in that chart.
here’s one that stucky could have made up but he did not–

I’m asking for feedback on the Illusions graphic. Specifically, the checkerboard with the green cylinder on it.
— Vote Up if you can do ANYTHING or see in anyway that those squares are all the same shade of gray.
— Vote Down if you can not.
Me? Cant see them as the same shade … AT ALL.

The illusion next to it … the gray bar that looks like different shades of gray, but is not … well, that’s easy to verify. Just cover up either the top half above the gray bar, or the bottom half, and you can immediately see the bar is all one shade of gray.
Stucky, I viewed the checkerboard illusion making a slit between my fingers to block out most of the graphic except squares a and b. They’re the same shade. Side note – I’m red-green colorblind and the rotating snakes and the other “moving image “ illusion don’t seem to affect me.
Thanks, Tony, for the hint. It’s no use! I. Just. Can’t. See. It. Believe me, it’s depressing as hell. Really. I think something is wrong with my eyes. Maybe if I get a Covid Shot ….
Stucky,
Checkerboard:
is there a difference between color and shade?
https://wikidiff.com/shade/color#:~:text=As%20nouns%20the%20difference%20between%20shade%20and%20color,conveying%20color%2C%20as%20opposed%20to%20shades%20of%20gray.
Bar:
I put the image in photoshop and used a color picker to check the color end to end. Yep, same color (but you already knew that(?)).
I held my hand over the unshaded lower portion of the checkerboard. The A and B squares are indeed the same color.
Here’s your new American flag, folks!
==============
For Juneteenth, America needs a new flag that all of us can honor
By Macy Gray
The Confederate battle flag, which was crafted as a symbol of opposition to the abolishment of slavery, is just recently tired. We don’t see it much anymore. However, on the 6th, when the stormers rained on the nation’s most precious hut, waving Old Glory — the memo was received: the American flag is its replacement.
President Biden, Madame Harris and members of Congress: the American flag has been hijacked as code for a specific belief. God bless those believers, they can have it. Like the Confederate, it is tattered, dated, divisive, and incorrect. It no longer represents democracy and freedom. It no longer represents ALL of us. It’s not fair to be forced to honor it. It’s time for a new flag.
Incorrect? Let’s look to the stars. There are 50, where there should be 52. D.C. and Puerto Rico have been lobbying for statehood for decades. Both have been denied, since statehood would allow each territory’s elected officials seats in the house.
Assuming D.C. reps would be African-American and Puerto Rican reps would be Hispanic, the ultimate assumption is that these elected officials would be Democratic. That alone is racist.
On to the stripes. The Smithsonian documents that the “white” stripes represent purity and innocence. America is great. It is beautiful. Pure, it ain’t. It is broken and in pieces.
What if the stripes were OFF-white? What if there were 52 stars to include D.C. and Puerto Rico? What if the stars were the colors of ALL of us — your skin tone and mine — like the melanin scale? The blue square represents vigilance and perseverance; and the red stripes stand for valor. America is all of those things. So, what if those elements on the flag remained? What if the flag looked like this? [see picture above]
In 1959, 17-year-old Bob Heft designed the current flag for a school project when there were only 48 states. Hawaii and Alaska were up for statehood and Bob had a hunch they’d get the nod. He crafted a NEW flag with 50 stars for the then-future, because things had changed.
Sixty-two years later, in 2021, we have changed and it’s time for a reset, a transformation. One that represents all states and all of us.
=========================
Macy Gray is a Grammy Award-winning R&B/soul singer-songwriter, musician, and record producer. Her song “I Try” was a No. 1 single. Her new band, Macy Gray and The California Jet Club, has released a new single, “Thinking of You.”
Hey! Why not?? America has had PLENTY of different flags in our history.
Why NOT? Because we should never let people who hate our country have any say in our culture whatsoever. Ever. Why are we letting these parasites create another holiday out of thin air? It’ll be forgotten quicker than Kwanzaa. I can tell you what’s coming in Corporate America. You may not see it yet, but I do. They are starting to realize that diversity has no value, and what they really need is some younger people that are literate and capable. It’s already started. If you’ve got good kids, the world needs them and the search is just getting started. Don’t let them sell them selves short. Expect to see a lot of woke CEOs cut loose. They are divorced from reality. But on the next level down, they know.
Star,they replace the flag will replace mine,am thinking perhaps one from the Nazi era might be just fine.
No. Absolutely do not change our USA flag.
I believe it was Lauren Boebert who told washed up Gray to find a country she likes and MOVE THERE.
Some amazingly retarded stuff mixed with possibly useful information…e.g…Why would the Source create a Universe without “evil” (which is undefined)? No challenge there!
Can’t explain evil, huh?
Evil is a product of man’s free will. God gave man free will because without it he wouldn’t be able to love Him freely. If love for God was programmed that would mean it was coerced which would mean it wasn’t really love and since God wants us to love Him (truly and of our own free will) then the flip side is that we can not only choose not to love Him but to do evil as well.
IE: you cannot have love with without evil because you cannot wipe out evil with destroying free will which would destroy love.
Now there’s your paradox.
FM, that was great. Well put.
Somehow you forgot ‘consciousness’ in your explanation.
Evil is subjective. A window seller would think a tornado is less evil than home owner.
Wickedness is objective. Only the deranged fancy it.
I shall call him Touche’ to differentiate us.
There is Tension built into Creation and it must be resolved.
“For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope [expectation] 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.”

#2 the dumbest shit you’ve ever posted… God explained by a meat sack. How very clever… chimpesque even.
flash,
i thought you were back to being friends w/stucky,what happened?
I was never not friends with Stuck. If a friend can’t speak frankly with a friend , then they aren’t friends.
BTW, let me clarify something. The clever meat sack chimpesque comment is aimed at the chart maker, not Stuck. He’s just doing his job, which is chief shitflinger @ TBP.
Speaking of Chief, where is Red Ass off to these days ? Haven’t seen him comment in awhile.
Amen to that, friend!!
I asked about the Chief a few days ago. Someone said that he HAS commented here in the past month or so … but, I have not seen those comments at all. To me he is still MIA. I wish he would post something as simple as “I’m OK.”!!! I hope he’s just on temporary hiatus. I never thought I would ever see the day when he exited permanently.
rumor has it that the chief is in the far realms of the outback attempting to reconnect w/his aboriginal ancestors–
I’m beginning to think the whole Australia pivot was a big mistake for Loopy. Miss his smart -ass comments though.
You are becoming much too easily triggered by opinions, ideas, and concepts with which you disagree … especially when it comes to the Bible.
To me it indicates a lack of confidence or security in your own beliefs. If you were secure, wtf would you get so bent out of shape when someone believes differently?
I could be wrong. All that means is that there must be a different reason why you’re so easily triggered. IMHO, you ought to examine yourself and figure out the cause. It could lead to more happiness for yourself.
I’m not triggered , just adding to the comment line. . It takes a lot more than some bullshit chart or even militant atheism to set me off. I have a very slow burning fuse.
Come on flash…I love ya buddy…you’re a great guy (I really mean that!) In the past we’ve probably agreed 95% of the time on major issues…but you went Linda Blair in the exorcist on me over a minor ‘cultural impact’ on blacks disagreement…
Stucky
Looks like half the counties in the South have a majority Kneegrow population. Wow, didn’t know that. Maybe Kansas ain’t that bad.
mark
Stuck…major difference from many city blacks and many country blacks.
I know that for a fact.
flash
You’re a lying POS jerkass Fed poster…of this , I’m sure.
flash
Prolly cuz’ you’re a lying SOS Fed poster and none of your comments are based on reality.
flash
Mark is Flightard is Fed poster .. Not surprised .

The real flash…
&f=1&nofb=1
Not triggered. Pure gut instinct. There is something very off about you. I could be wrong, but rarely am. It’s a curse really. I wouldn’t trust you as far I can piss and these days, that isn’t very far . No hard feelings though.
Not triggered huh…re-read your hair trigger trail that wanders into the incoherent…and your best defense is an offense?
So be it.
Re read Stucky’s warning…
We have both been here a long time…you may not be able to piss far…but your pride has a strong stream.
Correction. it wasn’t a “warning”. It was a suggestion.
Carry on!!!
Ahhh…Stucky…the shitfest referee?
Ok…re-read Stucky’s ‘suggestion’…no hard feelings from me either flash.
Just in case you misunderstood…I meant the last meme as a compliment.
Refereeing is one of my Legion responsibilities in this joint.
May I make a suggestion? Ask flash for his address, and send him a dozen of your Pine Needle tea bags. That noble gesture could be the beginning of a long and dear friendship.
yeah mark,
i’ve always heard that hemlock tea is an all around cure all–
Ha!
Tampa…the tounge in cheek shitfest stirrer…
Been reading about various pines and mistaken pines, including hemlock that people assume to be pine needle tea quality, but a lot of it is toxic.
I have some virginia pine that may or may not be pine needle tea safe. At this point I’m leaning towards safe.
Thanks Stuck…but I already had a TBP friendship with flash.
Should I hold the bird shit?
Mark 5:9 ESV / 169 helpful votes
And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”
I occasionally read a comment you post and see a lot of bravado on how mucho macho you at defense, offense, and taking out the trash and it smells like Fed bait to me. Not that it matters to me, but some easily manipulated schmuck might be sucked in.
If this ain’t you and I’m wrong ,_ then pardon me for mistaking you for someone else.
So because I speak my mind and intentions on one angle of probably a thousand posts over many years on every subject possible…all things God, Banksters, precious metals, Covid, history, Health, Politics, and yea on no nonsense self-defense (and that side of me is the real deal) you call it ‘bravado’…and suggest (and you read drunk) I’m a Fed troll trying to suck someone in.
With that type of insult what the hell do you expect?
I’m good.
It’s ended.
Flat stars are real, bruh.

Lots to digest. This will take time to unravel, like a multiple choice test. Thanks for taking the time to assemble this.
I will take exception to one thing. The graph about evil is simple to explain as a believer. Evil is the absence of God.
Fucking Brilliant, best article ever. This next flu season is gonna be epic!
Your flow chart about evil is incorrect: First, everything is created from energy, which can neither be created nor destroyed – it is eternal. This is the first law of energy. This also entirely explains God’s existence: He is pure energy; hence, He has always existed. Second, He gave free will to all creatures. Therefore, it is a choice to follow and obey or to rebel and turn away. Lucifer chose the latter, and he will be confined to hell with all those who made that same choice. It’s all right there in the Bible. Why confined and not destroyed? See the first point. Finally, God’s ways are not our ways. What you and I think should or should not happen doesn’t matter. God is the Creator, and His desires are all that matter. If this seems “unfair” to you, try drawing a picture of something. Anything. When you’ve finished, what will you do with it? You made it, so it’s YOUR choice whether to hang it on the wall or crumple it up and throw it away. It’s the same for God. He made everything, so it’s HIS choice what to do with it.
What do you mean was addicted….
what you wrote would be past tense. The future imperfect is much better at describing my plight!
Gotta have goals after all.
I’m on whatfingernews.com right now ….. and this article is linked there!
I’m hittin’ it BIG TIME now!! I’ll be rolling in mullah pretty soon.
