One week until Christmas. Are you ready? Do you think tRump is getting ready for his gifts from Santa Clause?
Jimmy Kimmel did a funny piece last week about the grifter and his latest grift, his NFTs. “We already have those trading cards, they’re called subpoenas.”
The long awaited sequel of Avatar is out this weekend, Donald Trump’s “major announcement” turned out to be the embarrassing release of digital trading cards featuring himself, the folks over at NewsMax were even underwhelmed, the official portrait of outgoing speaker Nancy Pelosi was revealed in Washington, the Washington State Cougars joined us in anticipation of the Jimmy Kimmel Los Angeles Bowl, we play a round of Santa’s Lap or Booster Shot, and we bleep and blur whether it’s needed or not in This Year in Unnecessary Censorship.
Happy Holidays everyone. It’s cheesus season!
Thank you for reading today's post.
Have an InterStellar Day! ~PrP
The majority of the dairy companies in the United States use a simple color-coded system for the caps on milk jugs: red (whole milk), blue (2% milk), green (1% milk), and purple (skim or no-fat milk).
The vast majority of people (96 percent in the surveyed group) can detect the difference between hot and cold water based on the sound it makes when poured. The key is how the temperature affects the viscosity of the liquid: cold water splashing into a cup generates lower frequency sounds and hot water generates higher frequency sounds.

We all know you can get a hangover from drinking too much alcohol. The throbbing headache, lethargy, and nausea are sure signs you overindulged. But if you’ve ever skipped the booze and went for the desserts instead only to feel the same way, there’s a reason why.
Sugar hangovers are real, and why they aren’t caused by the same thing as real hangovers, those icky feelings you’ve got are very much so a real response to another form of doing too much.
Sugar hangovers are all about how we process added sugar, which is the type of sugar found in candy, cookies, and other baked goods (not the stuff found in fruit). When you consume too much of it, your blood sugar spikes. For the most part, your pancreas should produce insulin to help convert that sugar into energy. That’s why you get what some people refer to as a “sugar high.”
Sometimes though the pancreas can overcompensate when an excess amount of sugar is eaten, and that’s when you start to get those hangover symptoms. Extra insulin is created to compensate for the sugar, and when your insulin is at its highest level, your blood glucose levels will begin to fall.
While you’ll likely still be in a “normal” blood sugar range (unless you’re type one or two diabetic), it can dip a bit too low. You’ll start feeling shaky and tired, might develop a headache, and begin sweating. Basically, you get a hangover.
So yes, if you’ve ever eaten one too many cookies or had a bit too much ice cream, your “hangover” symptoms are very real. You’re not imagining it.
Just like with drinking, the best way to prevent a sugar hangover consuming sugar in moderation. Yes, we know that’s a bummer, but hey, at least you won’t feel like someone stuck your head into an oven instead of a cookie.
Merry Christmas everybody. And fuck you hetheans that don’t believe in Jesus.
