Energy Rod!! I love that guy.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It is not rod shaped. Although "bar" and "rod" can mean the same thing, they are not interchangeable in every circumstance.

The depicted shape could be called many names. prism. panel. wafer.

Rather than energy rod, it could be called a stratified calorie wafer.

I choose energy prism.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 9 points 2 weeks ago

I prefer an awakening liquid to an energy rod.

wasn't this guy exposed to be an anti-abortion christian, like, 6 years ago?

Did he use his platform for hate?

[–] RiverRabbits@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

when confronted with it, he did openly pronounce it again, iirc. But I don't use any platform he uses so I can't source it rn, sorry.

still is, from what I know! He at least never apologized or changed course.

[–] hotdogcharmer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah looking at his Wikipedia entry as well as his original tweet, he deffo supported his wife and the MarchForLife. Seemed like his response to the backlash was a sort of weasely "we have faith and believe separation of church and state is important" without addressing the actual problem. Not good.

Is it really necessary for someone to apologize for being anti-abortion and Christian?

I get that it’s not a stance you’re into (or me for that matter) but again it doesn’t look like they’re spreading hate or being a bigot or anything like that. Unless I’m missing something?

Why is one wearing socks? Does that mean it's otherwise naked?

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Power pose.!.

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That means one is nervous and considering running away.

Strenuous activity makes his feet sweat.

That is a Cliff bar and they are amazing but goddamnit they're expensive little fucks.

[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They're also basically rice krispie treats.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

A little more expensive than that, but yeah. Plenty of no bake recipes and even boxed ones you can buy if you don't want to source protein powder. I made a tray of protein balls for the price of a single Cliff bar once, but they taste better with real honey, nuts, etc.
