The loss of “lurk moar” has really ruined the youth culture because under any clip or meme you’ll see kids commenting “context?” even if it is eminently googleable.

I love the way leveling works in so many games, like "shooting an arrow through my arm used to kill me, but I picked up a bunch of random things and brought them to random people and the experience was so rewarding that now a rocket-propelled grenade to the face is only a minor inconvenience"

One must imagine that things could, in fact, be good. Are you willing to put forth the energy to construct heaven?

One of the reasons black coffee is posited to be beneficial is because it upregulates glucoronidation, which is a phase II metabolism reaction involving the covalent addition of glucuronic acid—triggering an elimination and detoxification mechanism for lipophilic compounds. Additionally, since glucuronides are charged, this also triggers the excretion of the parent compounds in urine and bile. tl;dr black coffee triggers enzymes, increases metabolism, burns fat, and causes the body to excrete various things that are posited to potentially harm us in some circumstances.
