According to sources, the horse is not actually dead. Volunteers are now coming forward so they can take the horse around back and put it out of its misery.0 -

They weigh the same in the vacuum of space.0

Can't deny that. I did attempt to display humor, it just didn't work well. It's probably because I thought everything I wrote was rediculous to me, I didn't try hard enough to make it clear enough for everyone else. Lesson learned.Poe's Law
Without a blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of extremism or fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing.0 -
When others were posting that you were a troll I actually posted in your defense because I felt that your topic wasn't exactly controversial enough to warrant branding you with the troll label. You simply posted a factually true statement on an open internet forum and I saw nothing wrong with that. Then came all the entertaining gifs but no real controversy.
What I did not realize is that I gave you too much credit. They were right. You are simply a troll. Perhaps you are so desperate for something to fight with people about you regretted not posting something that would have riled up people more. So you decide to come after me for using the word "always" in an effort to get me to fight with you.
Well I am actually quite happy in my life and if it will bring some sort of joy in to your life I will help you out here.
I did type this "One pound of anything will always weigh the same as one pound of anything else."
Do you see how the word always is in bold print? Thankfully someone was here to point out that if you change the conditions for one thing and not the other then the weight would change. I am clearly deficient in intelligence and I would like to ask forgiveness from everyone on the internet for posting this completely inaccurate statement.
I hope that made your day.
I'd consider myself a troll but I'm not even verbally stroking my would-be ego here. I think you still give me too much credit. You said "always", had you said "absolutely", "never", "never ever ever", etc.. you would have gotten the same response. Since you implicitly made claim that in all scenarios, they weigh the same, I decided to point out that is not the case. Then came all the long winded justifications so indicitive of an intelligent individual trying to defend a point with no leg to stand on. Afterward came the personal attacks (ie. troll). Its pretty standard behavior.
I'm only playing devil's advocate, you presume I was attempt to attack you or your intelligence, fight, or whatever else you want to call it. I sure hope this isn't how you react whenever you've been reprimanded or criticized.
If your ego is as big as I think it is (much larger than mine), then I have no doubt you'll post another long winded response to follow up this and explain your position, life story, education, and more. I'd advise against it, I honestly don't care.0 -
Hold on a second so you mean to tell me that a pound and a lb are the same thing?
So I have a bunch of kitties and doggies in meh body?

It can be difficult when communicating through text. There aren't any nonverbal indicators. You can't use tone of voice and all of the other things that we use when being sarcastic. I understand what you were going for.0 -

I apologize. I thought you knew what I meant by what I said and I did try to clarify from my own perspective. Trust me the statement I am trying to defend makes perfect sense when I write it out algebraically. In fact it is such a true statement that it has to be true or all of math would come tumbling down.
So while I think you are wrong about me having no leg to stand on but that is not sufficient justification for personal attacks. I will concede that "troll" is a personal attack and I really didn't have enough evidence to base that conclusion on. I hope this isn't too long winded for you and I am aware that you may not even read this but I did try to keep this short. That said disagreeing with you about a single point should not be reason to insult anyone. I was commenting out of frustration and for that I do apologize.0 -
To everyone saying the OP is beating a dead horse and that they don't care. I can see why you would lose interest in this topic if you had seen it come up a lot. I have only seen this topic discussed a couple times so I didn't think it was a big deal. The thing that gets me is that if this topic has become trite to you why would you post at all?
I see posts that I find uninteresting all the time. It could be that it is discussed too often or that it is simply a vacuous topic to begin with or both. The thing is I just don't post in those topics.
I am not saying you have to even stop. This is an internet forum and all posts should be welcome. One reason I find this question interesting is because not only are people posting that this topic is a dead horse but we also have those same people checking up on the conversation and posting more responses. You must be getting something out of it I just don't understand what. Is it an effort to shame others in to discontinuing the conversation?0 -
Who cares. I want to see more muscle and less fat on me.
Period.
That is how I feel too.0 -
Wow!!! Did I seriously read all this crap...
And now I am wasting time, pixels, and server space responding to it....
Way to go, guys! :drinker:0 -
It is about as controversial as saying carrots are orange.
Carrots can be purple too.

However, 1 lb of muscle does not weight more than 1 lb of fat.
Well yeah but that statement is a tautology. One pound of anything will always weigh the same as one pound of anything else.
False. If the fat is weighed on the moon or in outer space it will weigh nothing. However, one could say 1 kg of muscle will always have the same mass as 1 kg of fat.

People are really getting nasty on these forums....just because a topic has been on here before doesn't mean every single person has seen it, cut people some slack would ya? sheesh!0

It's just meant to be fun. The gifs are for entertainment.
Do you only ever say something in conversation that adds something valuable? You never say "I find this topic boring" or "don't you think talking about this is beating the dead horse"?0 -

As a rule I try to make my posts progress the conversation in some sort of measurable way. Perhaps I have said something like that but I certainly can't remember doing it off the top of my head. I do enjoy gifs so I guess I am not really bothered by it that much. I just found it a question worth asking.0 -

Maybe measurable by a pound of fat, but that wouldn't progress the conversation by as much as a pound of muscle0 -

Nope, measurable with a ruler. I already clarified that in the post above yours.0
