Earlier quoted context omitted.

Omg, this is awesome. I love this quote: > "You don't count what day it is when counting days, I just explained that. If today is SATURDAY, it's not 2 days until SUNDAY now is it?" The sheer concept that Sunday to Sunday = 1 week versus Sunday to Saturday = 1 week is kind of bending my brain.

"Sorry to hijack, but Josh dude how are you arguing with a calender?" "He is in Josh world. The g'damn dumbest world in the universe!" Classic. Reminds me of arguing Xbox vs Playstation as a teen on neogaf.com.

This whole article takes me back to the late 90s/early 2000s gaming message boards when NeoGAF was simply "Gaming Age Forums".

A lot of shit talking, and some on-topic discussion about gaming every now and then.

What a wonderful time to have been a teen.

Awesome thread, where body builders argue about how many days there are in a week: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=107926751

This is like an argument about 0-based vs 1-based arrays.

But that's a style choice, not a mathematical error.

A really intriguing story related to bodybuilding is the story of DatBTrue. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/26/sports/doping-thomas-mann... He convinced a lot of people that he was an expert at all things science despite using an incredibly immature writing style. It turns out he was a lawyer!

Tangentially related but, Zyzz was also a hugely popular member of the BB forum. He was known as having one of the most desirable physiques and had a big personality (he frequently posted videos of himself at the club). It was then discovered he was using steroids, which caused some of the community to hate him. He got booked for a reality show, but then died due to an undiagnosed heart defect. https://knowyourmeme.c…

It wasn't discovered he was using steroids this was common knowledge from day 1

Thank you for sharing. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. This was my previous favorite bodybuilding thread: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=161809003&pa...

That's up there with the original frogtech bulk https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=174863921&pa...

Any miscers checking in?

this article was a blast for the past lol. I used to post there, i honestly doubt that most of misc even went to a gym. I stopped after I got into some political argument with some regular and he negged my account by 1000s and it ended up being pointless posting there, went to reddit for dumb offtopic stuff.
