It's "groos" which he made up on the spot. https://genius.com/2582537

Seconds is based on speed though. It's literally how speed is defined. Distance over time. At 60mph you travel 88 feet per second. So if you count out the seconds between when the car ahead passes say a road sign and you pass the same road sign and it's two seconds, there's roughly 176ft between your two vehicles. If you're going 25 mph, then two seconds equates to 73ft of space.

Which really gives you more space than car lengths per 10mph, so it's safer. 10mph=~14fps. The average length of a car is 14ft. So you end up giving double the space if you count out 2 seconds.

But it's a nothing comment. Water has an LD50. It's 90ml/kg. LSD has no known LD50 and has not been the sole cause of any known death. Drowning in it would not mean you died from LSD toxicity, you would die from asphyxiation. Sand doesn't have a legal dose but can still kill you. But it wouldn't be from sand overdose.

Yeah but then that could be said about literally everything.

I mean it makes sense. Do something related to a movie that's getting a lot of hype and people are bound to watch. A podcast I listen to did 6 2-hour episodes on the Manhatten Project earlier this summer. They always planned on doing it but I'm sure when they learned the movie was coming out is when they decided to start prepping and releasing episodes.

Right but the premise of the movie would no doubt garner interest in related topics and content creators most certainly have made videos/podcast episodes/etc that coincide with the general theme of the film recently.

Well it's a good strategy for them. Look at all the middle eastern countries that have had their governments undermined and destroyed through US military might. Who fills the power vacuum in those countries now? Religious zealots.

What would shooting yourself accomplish? They'd just replace you within a week.

They can't deduct the $2 donation if you made the donation at POS. It doesn't count as income for them, and it shows up on your receipt, so they do not legally get to write off that $2.

If you pay the donation you get the tax write-off, regardless of whether you donate through a grocery store, directly through the charity, or through your paycheck. It's on your receipt and you can claim it. The store cannot legally claim the tax write-off that you made because it is not income for them, they are simply holding the money.

Now in this case where they are donating a portion of the sales, this is what's called a commercial co-venture, and it's a regulated activity that usually has a written arrangement to protect the non-profut. While the business does get the tax benefit since it counts as income, if you were already planning on buying a Gatorade, it doesn't benefit you or the non-profit to buy it elsewhere just to "stick it" to the store.

Bro even the adult son thinks jet skiing would be better than accepting an award. The joke is turning a euphemism for death into a literal observation. Relax
