For the record, that wasn't a flame war. Not even close. At least for PDs standards.

No matter. Point stands: at PD, it's much more effective to address the poster rather than the mods.

ALRIGHT WHO'S THE ASSHOLE THAT'S REPORTING POSTS??

Hoopla, what agenda is that?

The continuing search for like minded miscreants trying to jail break the BIP? The glance to see if the people who come here are actually Discordians and not random jaded yuppies on a forum?

Yeah, that one.

oh my god if I get another e-mail about this thread I swear to god

Cramulus

ALRIGHT I'LL READ THE FIRST PAGE OF THE GODDAMN THREAD

Okay here's the thing ---
it seems like you were setting up for an impulse based choice. In impulse based choices, short term rewards tend to trump long term. So the tastiness of the twinkie eclipses the granola's conceptual baggage.

If you asked people to pick out their foods for the next week, I bet they'd choose granola over twinkie. Ask them what they want to eat in this moment, it's gonna be junkfood, not asparagus.


ALSO

there is a sublime quality to the worst foods ever

My personal vice is truck stop cheese danishes. I'm pretty sure those things came out of a nozzle and were put directly into a cellophane wrapper and never touched oxygen. But they are basically the perfect food. By trying to simulate an actual danish, they produced something (much like artificial cherry flavor) which was basically an intensification of a normal food's qualities. You end up with this "hyperreal" food product which I think tastes better than a hand made one.

Scilon thinks I posted because I'm trying to get brownie points with you guys and not because he's actually disgusting. And he considers granola bars a healthy choice for the purposes of his experiment that "proves" poor people are too stupid to make good decisions (and surely need people like HIM to decide FOR them), and he tattles on Nigel like a little bitch. It's almost like RWHN never left. Nixon-San will be very pleased.

I'm just gonna leave this here, and then back up out of this thread for good:

oh are we done with the conversation part? ah well, I tried

though I SUPPOSE coming in on page 8 and refusing to read the rest of the thread past page 1 is a recipe for being out of sync


LMNO

You make a good point, Cram.

Actually, there were a lot of posts initially about why a person might choose the twinkie over the granola, and also why the "experiment" seemed to have valid flaws, as far as expreiments go.

Then there were a lot of other sorts of posts.


Cramulus

ehh yeah I guess I came into to a food fight and everybody's hucking grapefruits left and right and here I am throwing gushers





Cramulus

Alright PD, I brought snacks for everybody, here are your choices:





some twinkies that I've jammed full of multivitamins

        or

a bag of popcorn with a hole in the bottom and my *slide whistle* sticking through
