Word of the Week #268:
So, I was scrolling through YouTube the other day, as one does on a warm weekend afternoon while waiting for lunch, when I encountered a video about the most common health and fitness myths.
And obviously, as one does, I hit play.
For the most part, I was on board with it, till the fitness “expert” said something that made me flip out.
MYTH #XX: Muscles are heavier than fats.
Clarification: This is false because a pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat.
Like, wow.
That just made me stop.
A pound of muscle weighs the same as a pound of fat.
Such insight.
By that logic, we can derive a few more extremely insightful conclusions. Let’s take a quick look.
Housing in New York is not expensive since a $10,000 flat in New York costs just as much as a $10,000 flat elsewhere in the world.Burj Khalifa is not taller than any other building because one inch of it is the same as an inch of any other building.Litres and litres of sugary drinks are not more harmful to your body than fruits and vegetables because one calorie of sugary drinks is the same as a calorie fruits and vegetables.One Piece is not too long because each episode is just one episode long.My parents are not older than me since they were as old at my current age as I am.Ugh… I would’ve done more, but this to me is just more infuriating than it is funny.
Stupidity is too infuriating to even be mocked appropriately.
It is just frustrating that we are surrounded by idiots.
