Don't you just hate it when you do tons of research to prove someone wrong, but it turns out they were right?
Hell no! Being proven conclusively wrong means I get the opportunity to change my mind and become correct, to learn what the right answer is and get all the documentation to support that answer handed to me on a platter. Then when I inevitably run into someone else who is wrong in the same way I don't have to redo the research, just copy and paste.
I actually kind of like it. It means my internal model of reality becomes a little more accurate.
I still probably use some flimsy, too much energy to discredit argument back though if they were dicks about it, or I am drunk.
My research shows you are wrong.
Hey at least you guys all have fact checkers in your pockets now lol
Imagine what this was like when we had to go to the library and find a book to prove them wrong lmao
A lady who supposedly "worked for a water company" and won't drink tap water argued very confidently this morning that the little flakes you can see in tap water are not minerals. I put on my serious research face, but only had to do one Google search (they're minerals).
what were they to her then? government tracking chips?
Imagine if that was one long spaghetti and you could just suck the whole thing without chewing.
You're so unbelievably wrong, and let me explain why in this comment.
There is no physical way to efficiently and effectively cook a single spaghetti noodle, as no commercial cookware would accommodate such a noodle.
Furthermore, removing the noodle and placing it in a plate without the gargantuan noodle separating into smaller noodles, due to weight and lateral shearing, would be unheard of due to the physics of the gravity of the world's... physics.
Here I have included a link to my sources to you can educate yourself, you silly silly SILLY goose
How about a fresh (as in not dried) spaghetti noodle that's passed directly from the extrusion, through a trough of boiling water with a conveyor belt to move it along and support the weight, then direct to the plate?
Well that would be fantastic, if not for Article 128 in the Costituzione Della Repubblica Italiana; as this states no pasta may be cooked directly from extrusion, except in the circumstances of impending death, as laid out in Article 110. So you may certainly try such a procedure, but you risk becoming an international criminal.
I've looked at it from every angle, as I am certified the best master debater.
See the thing is just because there is a law or article or what ever about it, doesn’t mean it’s going to get followed or that - that action is physically undoable.
There are laws saying we can’t do stuff, but people break them anyway.
So the conveyor idea might work perfectly fine therefore proving you wrong about this whole debate.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER ~/s~
Break the... law? On... purpose??
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE OFFICERS COME QUICK

This is actually how internet debates go. I should know, I'm an expert!

They have really long noodle cafes in China where they regularly serve noodles in the 20 meter range. In fact, China even has the world record.
Incredible, you have bested me at my own game. The link you provided is relevant and interesting, the information is concise and factual, and you used metric instead of imperial (the more intellectual measurement system)
Thank you for freeing me from my role as professional Internet debater.
I'm free^eee^^^eee^^

I think you’re giving a bit too much credit here. The link may have been relevant, but that doesn’t automatically make the argument complete or correct—concise information can still omit important context or nuance.
Also, calling metric the “more intellectual” system is more of a preference than an objective truth. Both systems have their uses depending on context, and framing one as inherently superior doesn’t really strengthen the discussion.
And as for being “free,” stepping away from one debate doesn’t really mean you’ve escaped the role—you’re still engaging, just from a different angle. That pull to argue and evaluate doesn’t disappear that easily.

Got any sources there bud, or you just trying to speak facts into existence? I think Kant would like to have a word about your philosophy of "freedom". I won't go into anymore detail though...
Oh yeah? Well... ur mom
😎
(im sorry)
You're right, i should inspire to be more like my mother, thank you, you have helped me see the error of my way
Is what i would like to say, but sadly this is the Internet so instead i am forced to say "no u" 😞

You absolute fool! You think you can just link a source to prove your point, and nobody would actually read it?
Your source speaks nothing of the shearing forces of cooked spaghetti noodles... it's a paper about lentil-fortified pasta and it's nutritional gain vs change in texture
Zero to do with the ability to cook one very long noodle. In fact, it absolutely can be done, with a conventional pot of boiling water and making sure it's al dente. My source for your learning pleasure. Now who's the silly silly goose‽
Oh no, I've been found out-
Hol up
Shit, we've both been had!

Thank you for speaking my thoughts out loud
I once had a dog who liked to... idk he was a weird little shit, loved him. Anyway, I saw him chewing on something once, and he wouldn't "drop it". So I went to pull it out of his mouth and it was a string of some sort; and I proceeded to pull out like half a meter of string that he had (mostly) swallowed
I guess he was savoring the last few inches or whatever, but it was like a magic show where they pull handkerchiefs from their mouth
Anyhoo, thanks for coming to my TED Talk

i didnt get a PhD in order to not be able to argue with online strangers....
Yep, not everyone is an armchair whatever. Some of us have specific knowledge in certain areas (through hard work) and like to counter misinformation.
Still get called armchair so and so's though...
You need a standing desk that way can be a standup whatever
Main problem being anyone can pretend to be anything. It's why I leave my profession out of my comments and always link to sources. Not that it helps much
Yes well I agree, my knowledge in my field isn't something I came up with, but it does allow me to point towards that knowledge so others may learn.

Priorities suddenly become crystal clear when it’s about winning an argument 😂
motivation is a strong motivator.
Yeah, when I have to do long terms of intense comprehensive study I have to be in an ergonomic position and it's important to keep your blood sugar up so you don't feel lethargic.
Lmao this format is elite. I hope spaghetman overtakes angry chip dude (remote man, not ruffles zoom call)
