We literally burn sugar as fuel. Fires are just fast oxidation.

A lot of people go to nude beaches often and don’t have that problem. Did you use sunscreen?

Getting the numbers in practice can be difficult but that’s not the same as saying that CI/CO is bullshit, as many people do who don’t understand that it’s simple thermodynamics. If your fire isn’t producing enough heat, you add more wood. You don’t start to doubt that burning is exothermic.

I loved it when Gwyneth Paltrow said she drinks alkaline water for the health benefits… with a slice of lemon.

Speaking as someone who isn’t a juggalo, it’s clear that the subculture represents a lot more people than just the ones who identify with it. Like with Punk, a lot of outsiders don’t look past the aesthetic to realize that they’re trying to convey an important social message and be a voice for disenfranchised groups. They aren’t just people in clown make-up, they’re people who were fucked over by society and this is the outlet they found. Sadly it’s easier to laugh at memes about magnets than to confront their reality.

I’d include the rap subculture as well but regrettably their message became diluted when they achieved mainstream success and were co-opted by the marketing and propaganda machine as another tool to perpetuate the Spectacle.
