AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a teenager's exercise and diet habits, specifically their occasional walking and bowling, and a diet that includes whatever meals are served, with occasional snacks. The main question raised is about how much candy to consume, given the uncertainty of what candy might be available. The response humorously suggests that humans are naturally inclined to consume candy, likening it to an evolutionary instinct that has been reinforced over time. It posits two viewpoints: one based on evolution, suggesting that the desire for candy is a survival trait, and another rooted in creationism, implying that this desire is part of divine design. The tone is lighthearted, emphasizing the natural inclination towards candy consumption.

I am a teenager. My exercise: occasional walking/bowling. My diet: whatever's served for breakfast (sometimes I go without breakfast), lunch and dinner. With the occasional snacking.

Seeing as I don't know what sort of candy I will eat (if I get any), how much candy should I eat?

All of it.

Humans are simply candy consuming machines with the required appendages to provide sufficient mobility to acquire candy. You may stop when you are at 50/50 split of candy and insulin.

There are only two possible ways to think about this:

  1. Evolution: You've evolved to desire eating candy until you puke. Since this is an evolutionary instict that means it has been chosen for through natural selection for millions of years. By acting on it, you are empirically increasing your chances of procreating.
  2. Creationism: God created you in such a manner that you desire candy. This is devine will. Don't fight it.

Flex has spoken.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
