Exactly this.

Fructose adds to your intake of free (added) sugars. Whole fruit, on the other hand, does not.

Whole fruit contains fibre (roughage), vitamins and minerals, which are good for your overall health. The fibre helps to slow down the speed the fructose is absorbed into your blood stream and can help you feel fuller for longer. This is why it’s better to eat whole fruit, rather than fruit in the form of juice or a smoothie.

Fruit juice and smoothies, on the other hand, have most of the fibre (roughage) removed when they are made and it’s very easy to drink large quantities in a short space of time. This means you could be drinking a lot of extra calories, carbs and sugar.

Thanks for linking, ironically this guy makes patriotic shoes with flags and ones that say “Gulf of America” on them according to the thread.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this at all. Some people don’t even start college until their mid 20s or even later, if they have the opportunity at all. Finishing a few months later than some of you peers is a minute difference in the grand scheme of things and you should try not to stress about it and focus on doing the best you can with the work that’s left. You will look back on this and find it amusing you were concerned about it - enjoy the extra time you have studying before you move on to the working world where you most likely be for the next 40+ years. Good luck and all the best.

And his excellent sense of rhythm.

First time I read this it took me a few seconds to get it because the joke only works if the final word of the punchline is pronounced in American English.

Yeah that’s 20% of the population of the EU (total population figure of 450 million used). It’s mental that after all of the things that have happened recently, 1 in 5 people still use Xitter and that’s not even excluding babies.

We have a similar one to this when someone is incompetent which is “They couldn’t organise a pissup in a brewery”.

Somebody actually took the time and effort to make that adjustment.

Floppa Friday is not forgotten.

Thank you!

Yeah they’re all part of the Brassica family. Canola is a bred cultivar of Rapeseed with low levels of erucic acid suited for human consumption and very widely grown so while not completely synonymous with Rapeseed using the term Canola is usually correct especially with respect to the cooking oil.

Sounds like a perfect environment to not own a cat. Don’t get get a cat if you live in an area that can’t accommodate them - they aren’t a universal pet despite the fact people treat them like they are.

Who tf gets a pet cat and doesn’t let it outside? If you don’t have space for a cat don’t get one.

A classic case of the shenanigans, see.

I only just found out about it from this thread.
