It's worded like a fucking Jeopardy question
What is Turmeric!
where did u go wrong in life to allow CNN push notifications on your phone
Yeah, if your reaction to "website wants permission to push notifications to your device" isn't some mix between mirth and revulsion, I don't fundamentally understand you.
It's like people who actually watch commercials. If you don't skip/look away/mute/otherwise attempt to ignore commercials, there are massive differences between us. I even had an ex who thought targeted ads were a good thing, and he would voluntarily fill out the marketing questions that streaming services asked in lieu of commercial breaks. I just ... I can't imagine wanting that.
Why pay for the fucking service, only to be served ads? It's cable TV all over again. I hate it so much.

What really hit me that all this superfood shit was nonsense was when I watched a real nutritionist answer a question about "the best superfood" and they said "potatoes."
Tbf, potatoes are fucking dope
It's true, potatoes are one of the few singular plants that can provide almost all of a person's nutritional needs with barely any other supplement.
More protein per acre than soy.
A factoid brought to you by the National Potato Council, who told me this once and I've never bothered to fact check it.
Edit: It's a lie! What other lies have lobbing groups told me???
I am going to consider this a success story, given that you were transparent about the provenance of this factoid, and you corrected yourself. Yay for learning!
In fact it’s the most factoid it could be, an outright falsehood shared as a fact.

Cheap, can be made into a variety of dishes, easy to prepare, really a winner allround.
Yes, but no. Yes it's a "super food" in the sense that they are easy to grow and are nutritious and contain almost everything the body needs, but you'd have to eat like twenty kilos a day to survive on them solely.
Also, they can't fly and potato eyes do not emit lasers.

"Science discovers that a type of repetitive leg movement that propels the body in a sustained motion over a flat surface can have positive health impacts if done for only twenty minutes every day."

You won't believe how this title makes you click itself.
Did you know that the real reason why carrots are orange is that they absorb electromagnetic radiation on particular wavelengths and reflect it at others?

I thought it was about Trump, but at "nutrients" I was like: Wait a minute ...
That's the Orange Rude Vegetable
But easy mistake to make
Sweet potato.
The sad thing is if Americans saw a supermarket shelf of only carrots or Cheetos, its clone in color and size only, they would stuff their carts with bags of Cheetos instead of a rabbit's favorite snack. I love carrots but processed foods are America's comfort cooking
a rabbit’s favorite snack.
Just a PSA about this common myth - rabbits DO NOT naturally eat carrots.
Bugs Bunny popularized the idea, yet the only reason he ate carrots was as a reference/homage to Clark Gable in the 1934 film It Happened One Night.
Peter [Gable's character] pulls out a carrot with the long leafy greens still attached, peels the skin with a pocket knife, and nonchalantly nibbles on the vegetable as cars whisk by. Peter continues to give the lesson while speaking with a mouthful of carrots, a personal quirk reminiscent of Bugs Bunny's casual, carefree attitude.
Apparently a lot about Bugs Bunny was a reference to that character, including the phrase, "What's up, Doc?"
Anyway, I've seen pet-owners give their rabbits carrots as if it's a normal meal. It is not, and the high sugar in carrots can cause health issues. For the sake of your bunny, please get dietary advice from your pet's veterinarian - not from a cartoon that parodied a film character 85 years ago.

I, too, love carrots, but man, you can't tell me that a cheeto isn't more tasty.
Depends if you include the feeling of disgust and regret afterwards.

Is that the eli yudin from the "What A Time to be Alive" podcast?
The carrot has mystery. Flowers are essentially tarts. Prostitutes for the bees. There is you will agree special about a firm, young carrot.
