"I know I look like I'm just sitting here confused at these word problems, but, deep inside, I'm performing millions of complex calculations." -I said to the math teacher, as there is 5 minutes left on the pop-quiz that I didn't prepare for, and I haven't even written anything down yet

Back in school, one of my first sex ed classes, teacher says: "boys have a factory of sperm in their bodies".

Me, trying to be funny: "oh so that's why sometimes there's smoke coming out of my mouth?"

Thankfully it landed well with the classmates, but the teacher was really worried I took it literally.

I’ve often thought that 90% of success is having enough energy. I wonder why some people have the energy to get out of bed in the morning and do a bunch of shit, while the rest of us struggle to screw up enough energy reserves to want to live another day.

Spoon Theory describes it pretty well IMO.

Some of us only have a handful, others seem to either have enough to serve soup for an army battalion, have many of others' available to them, or both.

That's because you need to do things like stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet and keep your cell division count as low as possible.

I've been trying to exercise and eat better to cause cell subtraction but then again

When are they going to give her her own channel?

I just read that dolphins shed their skin almost 10 times more frequently than humans. Some species do it every two hours! Imagine the amount of energy spent in this.

My dog uses all consumed food to create hair.
