Discussion thread for the "Polls only" thread (Part 2)

I change my oil when my mechanic tells me it needs changing. So far they haven’t told me to rotate the tires.

And you’d need to define “great”; plus which, I think every country is flawed (my USA included) but lots of them are great, often in different fashions, and I’m not about to try ranking them against each other. I suppose the closest vote to that is “great but not the greatest”, but the phrasing implies that I’d have to think “X country is greater”, and I don’t know if that’s true.

(Also, the word “great” has started looking really weird.)

great

A couple of those options would probably kill me, due to medical issues. Might be worth it.

Seriously, I’m going to find that evil sadistic genie/alien/mad scientist one of these days, force it to go through a sampling of hit’s own tortures, then embed it in lead and concrete and dump it deep in the ocean with much cackling!

I’m surprised solitary confinement is doing so well in that poll. That’s the one i voted for that i thought longest about. I think I’d still be sane when i got out, but I’m not certain.

Yeah, that one was rough… I didn’t think I could do it.

I am currently the only one who said they’d go door to door for Trump, but while it says sincerely, it doesn’t say how long, not at what time of day. And I barely associate with my neighbors.

I’d feel dirty, but greater good and all that. Plus, in my neighborhood, there are plenty of times where I’d be preaching to the choir. :roll_eyes:

I’ll walk the fifty miles yo! I’d even walk a hundred if it guaranteed a Harris win.

I know a lot of my neighbors, and I just don’t think I could actually do that.

That would take me a couple of days, and the honest answer depends on some logistics that weren’t described.

I might actually need that dental procedure in the not-too-distant future, so if I can do it and ensure a Harris victory, that’s a bonus.

But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more

Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

I would question whether the “eat everything you must in just 15 minutes in one day for 365 consecutive days” is truly feasible for the entire year, medically speaking.

Oh, I bet it’s totally feasible, just wouldn’t be fun. You’d be pounding supplements and possibly high energy concentrates, not to mention a metric ton of fiber (powdered, capsules, other roughage) which would probably lead to a degree of gastrointestinal upset.

But there are people who live getting by on far less of the above than the average American (okay, we bomb fiber regularly, and it’s not a good idea, but not likely to kill you as many prove).

I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do it - eating is one of my great pleasures. But as long as you can have as much water as you want, you can force nutrition into a pretty small package.

But at what cost - at WHAT COST???!?!?!

Yeah, i like to eat, and that would be pretty miserable. But on the bright side, I’d have to carefully plan my nutrition, and I’d probably shed those excess pounds. And with careful planning, I’m sure i could ingest 2000 calories in 15 minutes. And I’d be chugging fiber pills and my daily caffeine (tepid, for chugging) in the final minute, and washing it down with some more water, sipped at a more leisurely pace, to finish my meal.

I fast every year for Yom Kippur, and i did some fasting for its own sake for a while, not eating anything until suppertime one day each week. I function okay on one meal a day. My blood sugar doesn’t go nuts or anything. It would be a sad and somewhat asocial year, but I’d be functional, and probably healthy.

Nevermind, ninja’d by @Spiderman.

Ha, I’m currently in the middle of two implants. I didn’t vote for that one because enough is enough.

We always put bell pepper in our spaghtetti sauce. I loved it. I could eat it 4 or 5 nights a week.

My sister made chili earlier in the week which she also puts bell pepper in. I saw her chopping it and immediately thought of you. If you ever came to dinner at our house, we’d have to be careful with the menu!

Bell Pepper sounds great in chili, but the best place to put a bell pepper is red thai curry.1

Red Thai curry is like the Ark of the Covenant. It’s proof of a kid and loving god, who will melt your face off.

Maybe I’m a lightweight, but I prefer Thai green curry. It is, by far, my favorite food under the curry name. I dream about it sometimes.

Yes, but getting it “Thai hot” usually takes some arguing with the waitstaff and/or cook.
