What have you learned in MFP's forums?

AllTehBeers

That some people's sarcasm detector is broken.

This.

Also, anything can be fixed with bacon.

Except bologna.

NormInv

98% of people on this forum think they are smarter than the average MFP'er. Math dont work out.

That it doesn't matter who said it, or where it came from, if you found it on the internet it's LAW

I learned that women that lift weights get bulky.
I also learned that women that lift weights don't get bulky.

That the public education system is a large waste of money.

It's a conundrum.

That the public education system is a large waste of money.

But the teachers are hot and easy.

New words that have expanded my vocabulary - like twatwaffle and douchepickle and douchecanoe. My real life friends think I am so witty and cool now when I use these never-heard-before words. *brushes shoulda off* yeahhhh, cool I said.

I learnt that Chunky Monkey, which I just thought was a BnJ flavor, also means fat penis!

Thanks again Sara!

Don't forget this gem:

you pee your fat out, if you see white stuff in your pee that looks like chicken fat, that's your fat coming out....

NormInv

I learnt that Chunky Monkey, which I just thought was a BnJ flavor, also means fat penis!

And BnJ which I thought was just men's favorite activity is also a food.

Yes. And the most cruel word you can tell an adult is "No, this is wrong information. Try this instead." Only mean and unsupportive people say that. It's so rude to tell someone no and then offer a better suggestion!

I've learned pretty much everyone on here is obsessed with sex, particularly in regards to who on the board they would bang.

Also, I've learned that sometimes you think someone must be joking when they post... but then you find out they're completely serious. That's frightening.

Nissi51

It's where you go when you need a good laugh.

PikaKnight

I've learned that many people say they know they can't spot reduce, yet hope someone out there has some magic method "to" spot reduce.

I've learned that the body detoxes and cleanses itself, but somehow a mixture of maple syrup (grade , cayenne pepper, and lemon juice will magically help you lose weight, fix all your bad eating habits, fix your metabolism, and make everything just peachy.

I've learned that some people, for whatever reason, decided to create multiple accounts just in case one account got closed so they can continue on in the forums. Accounts that they've held onto for up to 2 years.

This very much. I should be used to this phenomena after so many decades on the internet, but I must confess, I am occasionally that gullible and occasionally shocked.

nancycaregiver

I learned that everyone is an expert! And I know absolutely nothing about Weight loss and fitness! And what I'm doing will never work.

PikaKnight

I've also learned, it seems, that very few people actually know what trolling (the internet type :P ) is....

Dedication is a virtue. So is patience. And sock-puppeting. I think we can all learn from people like that.

NormInv

people have an over-inflated sense of self importance.

Zulemak

Because of MFP's forums I have learned that;

sadly some starve themselves and claim their tummies will explode with a little over 1,000 calories
unfortunately some people try to put others down when the person is being honest about their food intake
Most of us do not have an acurate body image (just read the forums).

Trolling is when you disagree with someone right?

xxghost

there are many ways to accomplish the same goal....the only common factors are determination and consistency

I like this.
