Joking aside, a calorie is ALWAYS a calorie (just like a pound is always a pound, be it a pound of sand or a pound of marshmallows). What changes with age/metabolism is the daily amount of said calories needed due to several factors such as muscle mass, nutrient absorption, hormones, other calorie hungry tissue.. etc. The calorie itself is not proportional to age and metabolism, simply because it's a universal value that does not change.
however not all calories carry the same amount of nutritional value, therefore a calorie is not a calorie.
Not all miles have hills. Ergo, a mile is actually a foot.
a mile-long hill takes more energy to complete than a flat mile.
still not getting this? it's ok. we forgive you.
it's still the same distance. The mile does not get longer or shorter depending on whether it's on the flat or uphill, no matter how much it may feel that way when you're cycling up it.
a mile is a unit of length, What other things are along the way, whether it's a tree lined beautiful mile through the countryside or a mile through a polluted concrete jungle, it's still the same distance. You don't use miles to measure other things you encounter along the way.
no one's suggesting the mile is any shorter or longer.
If only there were a way to measure the energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
Maybe the Babel Fish can tell us...

But a mile in a Ferrari is better than a mile in a 1980 Rover Metro. And if the mile has steep hills the 1980 Rover Metro might not make it all the way.
And a mile riding on a unicorn that's farting rainbows is even better :drinker:
I puffy heart unicorns!
I'm still mad at Noah for leaving them off the ark.

Do you people not have jobs/schoolwork/families? How do you manage to discuss and debate the same topics day in, day out? I understand poor OP who doesn't understand that you can search the forums to find such information...but the old-timers with 25 million posts...how do you do it every day?
Seriously - is it a sincere desire to assist others, even if done in the most snarky way possible....or a compulsion/need to be right, masquerading as a desire to assist others....or just naked compulsion to be recognized as more knowledgeable than others? And whichever of the above applies, don't you get exhausted? Every time I see the words 'calorie' and 'calorie' and 'is a' in a new topic my heart sinks.

hmm you sure...if I walked a flat mile in 4mins but walked the hilly mile in 8hours...I think the hilly one would expend less energy...0 -

travel a mile directly upwards and you're still in the same grid location on the earth
actually my car's sat-nav/GPS is totally confused by this concept when it comes to multi-storey carparks.... When I'm parked on the very top level (which has no roof so I get satellite reception there), it tells me to drive off the edge of the building and fall several storeys onto the road below :laugh:0 -
The answer is 27. Now what was the question?

I know that part. Just not how it's 6x9 ... I am assuming he is using a different number system/number base to get that answer.
Edit: Okay, got it. If you're working in base-19, then 6x9 is, in fact 420 -

This is crap and I am sick and tired of your constant bullying and answer shaming! 27 is MY answer and it works FOR ME. I scoff at your peer reviewed studies that say 42 is the answer and furthermore I present as evidence that 27 is indeed the correct answer some anecdotal evidence; I have a coworker who also says that 27 is working FOR HIM. Now, I don't care what you say I am going to continue to argue that 27 is the answer and I will continue to completely ignore any evidence or arguments to the contrary.0 -

Just because you don't read good books doesn't mean your coworker is ****face. Blame the peanut butter he ate for breakfast, not your illiteracy. If the square root of 42 were 27, then you'd still be wrong.

I thought that if you took the square root of how many calories are in a raspberry ketone and then multiplied that by the amount of healthy sugars in your average piece of fruit and then divide by the average of your age and metabolic rate, it will give you the average amount of daily calories you should consume....
conversely, if you are able to locate all seven crystal skulls they will reveal the "right foods" to you ...but you have to put them in a circle, stand on your head, and drink a raspberry ketone shake.
would've been funny if you hadn't used raspberry ketones twice.
Replace it with cauliflower and we have a winner.0
