10:05 "The wavelength of white light" You do realise that there's no such thing as the wavelength of white light. White light is a mixture of light of the entire visible spectrum. No single wavelength can ever be percieved as white. By necessity it has to have that mixture of wavelengths.
@@KenFullmanThis channel sucks. I've only watched a few videos but every one gets something wrong. The one on Differences between the USA and Canada said Canadians are more conformist, and don't like people who stand out too much. I'm Canadian, as a country we don't care how different people are. We just don't like douchebags who think standing out makes them superior to everyone else. A number of celebrities in the USA wouldn't be wanted here. There is(last I heard) a panhandler in another city, in my province who plays the fiddle, dressed as Darth Vader. He goes by Darth Fiddler, and people love him, and obviously he is not conforming. I decided to click 'don't recommend channel' after it recommended sunscreen over shade. Dermatologists recommend SHADE, above sunscreen. Sunscreen is useful when you are going to be getting a lot of sun. Burns damage tissue, which can lead to cancer. However, there are 2 types of UV rays, 1 causes burns, THE OTHER is the radiation that causes cancer. Sunscreen does very little to help with the cancer causing type, mostly it gives you a false sense of security. Also, anything other than the all natural kind are mildly carcinogenic, and was approved initially because it was falsely believed that your skin couldn't absorb it. This is probably less dangerous than the damage caused by burns though. If you are going to be in the sun long enough to burn, if you go without, than go ahead, use sunscreen. Otherwise you are just slathering yourself in a carcinogen, and probably exposing yourself to extra cancer causing radiation, because you don't notice the effects.
I never thought dying of a broken heart was bs but my grandfather literally died a month after my grandmother passed away!!!! He legit gave up, he stopped eating, stopped caring for himself, stopped talking, and he just lost it and one day we were trying to clean him up and he just laid down and never got back up....he forgot who we all were and hospice ended up coming in and doping him up until he took his last breath.......my pawpaw was the kind of man that could cut a limb off and duct tape it back on and refuse to go to the dr or er...him and my mawmaw were the cutest couple and they practically raised us and they were so good to us and he loved my mawmaw sooo much....he would pull a pic out of his wallet that was of her when she was around 19 and he would say "look how beautiful my baby is" i miss them so much!!!!!
My father in law did the same thing when my spouse passed away. He’d already lost his wife, but losing his only child was too much. He was diagnosed with broken heart syndrome, and passed away less than four months later.
My dad died of a broken heart - exactly like you said. My mum was killed by a drunk driver in Feb 2013. By November my dad was in the hospital and just gave up. By 2015 he was gone. He became very demented, didn't even know who we were, he just gave up. When he died, everyone was "I'm so sorry..." to me and I just said "he missed mum."
I’m surprised my grandfather didn’t, because my sweet, wonderful, homely grandmother was the only woman he ever loved. She came from a family of long-lived people (except for her brother Carl, who drowned while trying to earn his Boy Scout merit badge in swimming), but she died just two days before her 80th birthday when she tripped on a part of the sidewalk that had buckled under a tree root, fell and broke her hip, and then died of hospital pneumonia. My poor grandfather spent 11 miserable years just waiting to die. After her funeral, he gave me her wedding ring, which is a very slim band of white gold with tiny striations along the edges. It’s the most precious thing I own and I take it off only when medically necessary. If my sister had had a girl, I would leave it to her, but she had three boys. Maybe I’ll give it to the brother born right after me to give to a granddaughter. (I guess I should ask him if he has one.)
My grandmother died of a broken heart just days after my grandfather suddenly died of a stroke. She died while we were on our way to his funeral and we ended up having a double funeral.
My grandfather died from a broken heart. My grandmother died first and he followed her 3 weeks later. They were married 65 years and never argued. He loved her so much he couldn’t live without her. 💜
@@geofftottenperthcoys9944 Colloquially it’s a broken heart-everybody knows what it means. I tend to be literal about most things, but _everyone_ who doesn’t have issues with their brain knows it’s from grief. Seriously, get a grip…
Grief is the name given to the emotional reaction to loss of a loved one. Mourning is the intense period immediately after the death. Anyone who has survived the death of a beloved person will know that a broken heart is not a literal description but rather an expression of the emotional pain felt during the grieving process. I have survived the loss of 2 children, my sister and her family, my parents, 21 aunt and uncles and many close friends. My heart is broken and I am deeply affected by the losses and the grief process that will likely continue through my lifetime.
My dad was a physician…an oncologist. He never told his patients how much time they had left because he had seen so many die to the day their doctors told them.
I wish with all my heart that all doctors did that. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't want a doctor to tell me that whatever I have is terminal. Basically, and I know this is just me, but I would be dying every second of every day from that point instead of living. It won't make a difference, my knowing or not. I have to live every day at peace with God anyway, and tell everybody what I need them to know immediately anyway. Obviously it could happen to anyone, anytime, so if I already know this, I don't see an advantage in taking away my last moments of happiness and hope.
Any doctor who gives a patient an exact date for their expected death is talking rubbish and should keep his/her mouth shut. It can only be an estimate and doctors are often wrong in either direction.
@@judepower4425 I have never heard of someone being given an exact date of their expected death. All I've ever heard was something like "6-9 months" or, in cases of hospice, they'll say "any day now."
That's certainly possible. But I'm sure it isn't always the case. When my late wife was told that her cancer had progressed to the point of being terminal, we were told that she had about 6 months left. And that is how long it took. I don't think she was following the "doctor-approved" timetable, however. This is because she tended to distrust doctors, and preferred to self-care -- which was probably what killed her in the end, because she refused the standard radiation/chemo treatment.
The "Starve a Fever, feed a Cold" isn't about food, it's about temperature. Starve a fever (take away heat). Feed a Cold (add heat). So if you have a cold, you need blankets, for a fever something to help cool you off.
Also food gives your body fuel, which raises your body temperature. That's why you don't have much of an appetite in hot weather. If you need to keep your temperature down, not eating too much will help.
@@janiceperkins4340 True, but the mnemonic is about what to apply to the person when they have these conditions. Starve a Fever (cool them off to reduce fever) Feed a cold (Keep them warm) PS a fever DOES - as demonstrated - have to do with body temp. 😉

My grandparents were married for like 60 years. After my grandma died, my grandpa spent the next 6 months making sure when he was gone, we would be taken as good as care of as he could manage. Immediately after signing the final document, he was rushed to a hospital. There he hung on to life until everyone who was gonna show up and say goodbye said what they needed to, then died. He died of a broken heart. He was too stubborn to go before he did his best for us, but in truth he died the minute he found my grandma dead. He just didn't let it take him until after he took care of business.
Starve a fever, feed a cold - I grew up thinking that meant when you were overheating you “starve “ the fever with a cool cloth and when you have a cold, you bundle up. The extra heat (feeding) cooked the virus. I never thought it had anything to do with food
Fun fact: back in the day tomatoes were believed to be poisonous, but only because back in the day everybody ate off pewter, & the lead from it was absorbed by the tomatoes. If we'd been eating off of glazed ceramic or food-safe plastic as we do now, we would never have thought this.
Having grown up in "Tornado alley" I NEVER thought tornadoes only happened there. That's just silly. Sure, they're less likely in other areas but of course they happen anywhere they have an unobstructed path.
I live in little old Connecticut, we get tornados here too. We have one almost every year. Most just knock down a few trees and power lines. But we had one that tore through our Bradley Air Museum. It damaged and destroyed one of a kind historical planes. My next door neighbor was a mechanic there.
irregardless of what you two think, I'm using it now it's been validated. (btw spellcheck tried changing it to 'regardless', but I ignored it irregardlessly 😂)
After 43 years of marriage my husband passed away. I went into broken heart syndrome. Thank heaven I was in the ER, I was legally dead for 3 minutes thanks to the doctor doing CPR and the good LORD I survived my children almost lost both parents on the same day.
When I was born in 1969, my Dad worked for Dr. Pepper. He was in delivery. I have pictures of him, my Mom and my two older brothers in front of the truck.
I definitely knew the colorblindness facts. A friend of mine, who I dated when I was in college, is red/green colorblind. Late at night, traffic lights used to switch to flashing red or flashing yellow rather than full cycles when the traffic didn’t need them. When we would be driving after they’d switched to flashing, I’d simply say “Yellow” or “Red” mid-conversation to let him know so he didn’t have to wait until he got close enough to tell which light was flashing by its position. That caught some other friends off guard when, as we drove from where we’d been, I randomly said “Yellow” mid sentence. They thought I’d lost the plot, though I’d just said it out of habit. Then I realized why they were confused and said I always announce the color of the flashing light for James because he can’t tell if they’re red or yellow. They had known him for several years and never known he’s colorblind. The funny thing is, despite his colorblindness, he’s an excellent photographer and used to develop his own film.
I knew someone who was color blind and he crushed doing puzzles because he looked for the right shape and wasn’t distracted by the colors. He just adapted to overcome his situation by using brain processing power vs simple color detection.
@@johnmoore3504 Color-blind people were used during WW2, due to the fact that they could spot camouflaged weapons, whose coloration would fool regular people. BTW, unless things have changed, traffic lights had slightly blue tints to the green and orange tint in the red lights for that reason. It's also why the red is normally top-most and green is at the bottom. (They also train guide dogs to recognize whether the top or bottom light is on).
In the UK the green lights have a blue tint to them. Red-green colour blindness is the commonest sort, and by making the green bluish it's easy for people with defective colour vision to tell the colours apart.

When I was a kid, I thought Hydrox were better than Oreos. The cookies had a more intense chocolate flavor and weren't as sweet. My mother bought them because they were cheaper.
3:30 Yup. I actually got diagnosed with congestive heart failure after my beloved service dog of 12 years died in my arms. Within a month of losing her I was hospitalized; having had 70 pounds of fluids built up mostly within my lower body. But as time passed and my broken heart began healing , the CHF gradually disappeared and I was able to emotionally handle getting the service dog I have now; 2.5 years later. She’s been by my side going on five months now, and I never realized just how much I had been missing until she came into my life ☺️ So yeah, that’s how Broken Heart Syndrome affected me.
I’ve never paid much attention to the “feed a fever, starve a cold” thing, mostly because I can never remember if it’s that way or the other way round, so I just ignore it and eat when I’m hungry. Never bought into de-toxing, either. In fact, I knew almost all these.
I've always heard the expression as "Feed a fever, Starve a cold." And as mentioned below, it's not about food, but temperature. Basically, if you're feeling feverish, don't try to cool off. Instead, keep bundled up and near warmth so that your fever will continue to create an environment hostile to the virus (although prolonged extreme fever isn't good for you either). On the other hand, if you're feeling a chill, don't feed the chill by going out in the cold, starve it by doing everything possible to warm up.
Broken Heart syndrome sucks. My mom suffered from it twice in a matter of months and the second time she wasn't able to be brought back. We still don't know what caused her to stress out so much that it killed her a few months before she turned 67.
12:23 Say now, friend, you're being a bit uppity. Ants on a Log is "gross"? Y'know, Mike, SO many spring-fall afternoons in my childhood were brightened by that fun treat! [*Civilly forgiving but keeping an eye on you* :-D]
Makes me imagine I'm about to drink a glassful of sanitizing chemicals lol. If I'd never known what an Oreo is, I wouldn't relate that to a cookie either, but since I do...there's really no other name to describe an Oreo, is there?
Thank you for writing this! Root beer has been around (not carbonated) for a very long time!

The Amish in Lancaster, PA sell non-carbonated root beer and it really is very good!
In the Midwest, a saying about corn has managed to stick around: "Knee high by the Fourth of July." With the advent of modern fertilizers, though, if a corn stalk is that height on July 4, then the growing season has been quite bad.

I'm 65 years old and the "Starve a fever..." thing was well known to be false when I was a kid. That almost makes me old enough to remember when people thought tomatoes were poisonous,
Worst sunburn I ever experienced on a family ski trip. I had a bit of a cold one day. Mom had me stay inside. So I stood/sat in front of a huge picture window looking out at the beautiful sunshine on the snow, and the reflected light burned my white, natural redhead, winter skin.
"broken heart" is not always a literal cause of death, Debbie Reynolds died the day after her beloved daughter died. Her doctor used the term "broken heart" with regard to her sudden death.
Just because the dictionary people have put something into their books does not make a word a word. Irregardless is bad grammar and not a word. Dictionary people like to put words in there that that have been commonly used because people want to know what the meanings are which is fine but that doesn't mean that they're a word. If I say something that is incorrect 25 times a day for a month that doesn't mean it suddenly becomes correct.
Don't know about the sunburn song, but here in the southern hemisphere, we say/chant slip on a shirt. slop on some sunscreen, and slap on a hat. Or slip-slop-slap
A 74 yr old geezer here, and like so many of the younger generation, you misunderstand the expression "Starve a Fever, Feed a Cold". It has NOTHING to do with eating. It has to do with "temperature". Starving a Fever means cooling the body by not covering up with blankets, bulky clothes, etc .... you "starve it of heat". Feed a cold is just opposite. Whenever I get a cold I'll cover up with blankets and "sweat it out of me". Never had a cold last more than 2-3 days where others will have a cold for a week or more. You are right about keep eating because your body needs the extra fuel.
I say this in sadness and not ridicule: my old boss also believed that cancer was totally curable through homeopathic means, and lent me literature several times supporting that. I read it all, which incidentally was all from decades ago, and it made sense to me. He was very passionate about the evils of the AMA (which to a great extent I also believe), and then his wife died of lymphoma. Five or six years after that he died of gall bladder cancer that spread before detection. IF cancer is truly curable through alternative means (than chemo and surgery), I really wish someone would have the fortitude to GET IT OUT THERE in a persuasive way. I lost a dear grandmother to cancer also, and I'd love to see a viable cure, but I understand all about the medical industry desire to cover that up. ($$$)
When you say “global” do you mean a globe? Global means something that applies to the whole world like covid. A globe is the shape of the earth or anything spherical

Irregardless is NOT a proper word, according to the dictionary: “NONSTANDARD : REGARDLESS I told them that irregardless of what you read in books, they's some members of the theatrical profession that occasionally visits the place where they sleep.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead. I will DIE on that hill. ☺️
Sadly it's true that "irregardless" has become part of the English lexicon but it is still a double negative, and will make folks with English degrees roll their eyes. Seriously, don't use it unless you like sounding silly.
A lot of words get misused now by people trying to sound smart. They heard it once and overuse it like “wholesome” The amount of people now I’ve seen saying “discussing” instead of “disgusting” Two completely different words with different meanings and people get so angry when you point it out
I'm 56 years old and I have never used sunscreen in my life, have never felt a sunburn though I will turn red....for a day, then I turn brown. I think it must be more of a genetic disposition for folks because I've seen folks get sunburn and they seem to be in pain. The most I've ever felt from a sunburn is a slight itch. When I was a kid and would turn red some smarta** would always be around to slap ya on the shoulder and when I'd simply look back at them and smile I think it freaked them out a little.
I am of Middle Eastern origin. The only time I have had a slight sunburn was when I was in the Sinai desert. I don't use sunscreen either (I'm 63.). So I agree with you that it's genetic.
66 years young….never wore sun screen (wasn’t really a thing in the early sixties). I remember my skin gradually turning brown and thinking is was dirty and try to scrub it off. My mom told me it was because I spent so much time outside and it was kind of protecting me. I do think it’s genetics(I have some Norwegian blood), and the intensity of the sun where you live. In the Midwest it’s always kind of a filtered sun. In the southern states it’s much stronger. To this day (I’m 66) I never have a sunburn, just gradually darken in the summer months. Hair gets lighter skin gets darker that is just my life. I will say I do have kinda wrinkly skin but no cellulite or other such things due to being kinda fit and not being afraid to go outside.
Tomatoes: Taxonomically, they ARE a fruit. But, by law in North Carolina, they are a vegetable (?for tax purposes or school lunch menues???) Irregardless: New words enter the English language all the time, and some drop out. An Americanism that really grates my ear is "normalcy', invented by a Depression-era president. The word SHOULD BE normality! A certain former president is infamous for mis-hearing/using/understanding english words.

Immediately after signing the final document, he was rushed to a hospital. There he hung on to life until everyone who was gonna show up and say goodbye said what they needed to, then died.
He died of a broken heart. He was too stubborn to go before he did his best for us, but in truth he died the minute he found my grandma dead. He just didn't let it take him until after he took care of business.
Classic case of "Broken Heart Syndrome": Debbie Reynolds died the day after her daughter Carrie Fisher died.
That's so sad. I didn't know that. 😢
@@galevalenti7759Yes, she was absolutely devastated when Carrie died. 😔 May both ladies rest in peace.
Well, considering how close they were, Debbie dying after her daughter wasn’t surprising.

I went into broken heart syndrome 4 hours after losing my husband thank heavens I made it
Starve a fever, feed a cold - I grew up thinking that meant when you were overheating you “starve “ the fever with a cool cloth and when you have a cold, you bundle up. The extra heat (feeding) cooked the virus. I never thought it had anything to do with food
But if there's a Trailer Park anywhere around, these Tornado Magnets will Increase the chances of Tornadoes, lol
Never heard that tomatoes cause cancer
People used to think that were outright poisonous.
I never heard of tomatoes causing cancer. It’s amazing what people can come up with in their minds lol
I think it's related to windmills causing cancer...
Same.
Fun fact: back in the day tomatoes were believed to be poisonous, but only because back in the day everybody ate off pewter, & the lead from it was absorbed by the tomatoes. If we'd been eating off of glazed ceramic or food-safe plastic as we do now, we would never have thought this.
Dr pepper is the original!

“Irregardless” wasn’t officially recognized as a word by Merriam Webster until 2020.
I've never heard that word used. Interesting.
Who on earth thought tornadoes only occurred in tornado alley.
@JustMe-eb3jl This site is full of lies, misinformation and the host has admitted to having mental issues.
We have tornadoes in Virginia
Since I've lived in Phoenix, AZ, we've had 3 tornadoes: 2 hit north Scottsdale in 2010 and 1 hit near South Mountain Park in 2021
Having grown up in "Tornado alley" I NEVER thought tornadoes only happened there. That's just silly. Sure, they're less likely in other areas but of course they happen anywhere they have an unobstructed path.
I live in little old Connecticut, we get tornados here too. We have one almost every year. Most just knock down a few trees and power lines. But we had one that tore through our Bradley Air Museum. It damaged and destroyed one of a kind historical planes. My next door neighbor was a mechanic there.
There’s no such thing as false fact. If it false it’s not a fact.
Call me a purist! "Irregardless" drives me NUTS! UGH! Can't stand it!
It's utterly redundant and just sounds sloppy when spoken.
"Regardless" already says it all. "IR-regardless" just makes no sense.

I definitely knew the colorblindness facts. A friend of mine, who I dated when I was in college, is red/green colorblind. Late at night, traffic lights used to switch to flashing red or flashing yellow rather than full cycles when the traffic didn’t need them. When we would be driving after they’d switched to flashing, I’d simply say “Yellow” or “Red” mid-conversation to let him know so he didn’t have to wait until he got close enough to tell which light was flashing by its position.
That caught some other friends off guard when, as we drove from where we’d been, I randomly said “Yellow” mid sentence. They thought I’d lost the plot, though I’d just said it out of habit. Then I realized why they were confused and said I always announce the color of the flashing light for James because he can’t tell if they’re red or yellow. They had known him for several years and never known he’s colorblind. The funny thing is, despite his colorblindness, he’s an excellent photographer and used to develop his own film.
I knew someone who was color blind and he crushed doing puzzles because he looked for the right shape and wasn’t distracted by the colors. He just adapted to overcome his situation by using brain processing power vs simple color detection.
@@johnmoore3504 Color-blind people were used during WW2, due to the fact that they could spot camouflaged weapons, whose coloration would fool regular people. BTW, unless things have changed, traffic lights had slightly blue tints to the green and orange tint in the red lights for that reason. It's also why the red is normally top-most and green is at the bottom. (They also train guide dogs to recognize whether the top or bottom light is on).
People that actually have grey vision are pretty rare.
In the UK the green lights have a blue tint to them. Red-green colour blindness is the commonest sort, and by making the green bluish it's easy for people with defective colour vision to tell the colours apart.
@@missharry5727, this was 40 years ago, so imagine the traffic lights from a US movie that long ago.
I was always taught to do warmups before the stretching. You can pull cold muscles and that hurts.
Sense of taste is tied to your sense of smell so thinking like little taste buds in your nose is an interesting way to think of it
Was eating crisps during this vid. The taste went pretty much all over my mouth, not just my tongue
An initiation trick is to put an onion to a blindfolded initiate's nose and 'make' them eat a small slice of apple.

When I was a kid, I thought Hydrox were better than Oreos. The cookies had a more intense chocolate flavor and weren't as sweet. My mother bought them because they were cheaper.

I actually got diagnosed with congestive heart failure after my beloved service dog of 12 years died in my arms.
Within a month of losing her I was hospitalized; having had 70 pounds of fluids built up mostly within my lower body.
But as time passed and my broken heart began healing , the CHF gradually disappeared and I was able to emotionally handle getting the service dog I have now; 2.5 years later.
She’s been by my side going on five months now, and I never realized just how much I had been missing until she came into my life ☺️
So yeah, that’s how Broken Heart Syndrome affected me.
Great content. I love to know new facts. If only I could remember them now
I’ve never paid much attention to the “feed a fever, starve a cold” thing, mostly because I can never remember if it’s that way or the other way round, so I just ignore it and eat when I’m hungry.
Never bought into de-toxing, either.
In fact, I knew almost all these.
It’s true!
I've said it for years that it was proven that you can die from a broken heart 💔 sad isn't it
I’ve had a broken heart for 50 years, I’m still here, broken hearted.
I highly doubt it!
@@MichaelC-to7uz shut tf up dude trolling away you miserable man I'd say your a barrel of laughs to be around
I've always heard the expression as "Feed a fever, Starve a cold." And as mentioned below, it's not about food, but temperature. Basically, if you're feeling feverish, don't try to cool off. Instead, keep bundled up and near warmth so that your fever will continue to create an environment hostile to the virus (although prolonged extreme fever isn't good for you either). On the other hand, if you're feeling a chill, don't feed the chill by going out in the cold, starve it by doing everything possible to warm up.

Noooooo 😂
I’ll do it with cream cheese though!
Gross! I think that just ruins peanut butter!
Gross. That just ruins peanut butter!

Celery is great in tuna salad, chicken salad, and egg salad. Make a sloppy Joe without it, you'll be disappointed.
Broken Heart syndrome sucks. My mom suffered from it twice in a matter of months and the second time she wasn't able to be brought back. We still don't know what caused her to stress out so much that it killed her a few months before she turned 67.

Hydrox is an even worse name for a cookie than Oreo

THANK YOU for the section on de-tox.
Root beer was the original soft drink.
Thank you for writing this! Root beer has been around (not carbonated) for a very long time! It was my 3rd great Uncle Charles Elmer Hires (yes, that Hires!!!) who did the carbonation thing and created Hires Root Beer around 1876! The Amish in Lancaster, PA sell non-carbonated root beer and it really is very good!
I read that root beer is the flavor used for medicine in Europe, so they hate the stuff.
Talking about disrespect, what’s the root of Christmas? 🤔
In the Midwest, a saying about corn has managed to stick around: "Knee high by the Fourth of July." With the advent of modern fertilizers, though, if a corn stalk is that height on July 4, then the growing season has been quite bad.

Took timeout to search for and listen to 'The Sunscreen Song' - had never heard it, but I guess it was a bit after my time since it addressed the 'Class of '99' and I was in the 'Class of '69' LOL
I'm 65 years old and the "Starve a fever..." thing was well known to be false when I was a kid. That almost makes me old enough to remember when people thought tomatoes were poisonous,

If you are sweating out anything, that always needs to be replaced with a good healthy drink with the essentials in it.
Worst sunburn I ever experienced on a family ski trip. I had a bit of a cold one day. Mom had me stay inside. So I stood/sat in front of a huge picture window looking out at the beautiful sunshine on the snow, and the reflected light burned my white, natural redhead, winter skin.
"broken heart" is not always a literal cause of death, Debbie Reynolds died the day after her beloved daughter died. Her doctor used the term "broken heart" with regard to her sudden death.
Just because the dictionary people have put something into their books does not make a word a word. Irregardless is bad grammar and not a word. Dictionary people like to put words in there that that have been commonly used because people want to know what the meanings are which is fine but that doesn't mean that they're a word. If I say something that is incorrect 25 times a day for a month that doesn't mean it suddenly becomes correct.
Don't know about the sunburn song, but here in the southern hemisphere, we say/chant
slip on a shirt. slop on some sunscreen, and slap on a hat.
Or slip-slop-slap
If irregardless is silly, try irrespective instead.

I love this channel!
A 74 yr old geezer here, and like so many of the younger generation, you misunderstand the expression "Starve a Fever, Feed a Cold". It has NOTHING to do with eating. It has to do with "temperature". Starving a Fever means cooling the body by not covering up with blankets, bulky clothes, etc .... you "starve it of heat". Feed a cold is just opposite. Whenever I get a cold I'll cover up with blankets and "sweat it out of me". Never had a cold last more than 2-3 days where others will have a cold for a week or more. You are right about keep eating because your body needs the extra fuel.
Number 1 should be: the Earth is global (lie)
Number 2: Cancer has no cure. (another lie)
I say this in sadness and not ridicule: my old boss also believed that cancer was totally curable through homeopathic means, and lent me literature several times supporting that. I read it all, which incidentally was all from decades ago, and it made sense to me. He was very passionate about the evils of the AMA (which to a great extent I also believe), and then his wife died of lymphoma. Five or six years after that he died of gall bladder cancer that spread before detection. IF cancer is truly curable through alternative means (than chemo and surgery), I really wish someone would have the fortitude to GET IT OUT THERE in a persuasive way. I lost a dear grandmother to cancer also, and I'd love to see a viable cure, but I understand all about the medical industry desire to cover that up. ($$$)
When you say “global” do you mean a globe?
Global means something that applies to the whole world like covid.
A globe is the shape of the earth or anything spherical
I’ve never paid much attention to the “feed a fever, starve a cold” thing, mostly because I can never remember if it’s that way or the other way round, so I just ignore it and eat when I’m hungry.

Irregardless is NOT a proper word, according to the dictionary: “NONSTANDARD
: REGARDLESS
I told them that irregardless of what you read in books, they's some members of the theatrical profession that occasionally visits the place where they sleep.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead. I will DIE on that hill. ☺️

Sadly it's true that "irregardless" has become part of the English lexicon but it is still a double negative, and will make folks with English degrees roll their eyes. Seriously, don't use it unless you like sounding silly.
Also, "apropos" is not a synonym for "appropriate"
Irregardless has been accepted because of common use. It actually means not not regardless which is the opposite of it’s intentioned meaning
Irregardless only became a word because of its widespread misuse. It's like the dictionary keepers just gave up and allowed it in.
A lot of words get misused now by people trying to sound smart.
They heard it once and overuse it like “wholesome”
The amount of people now I’ve seen saying “discussing” instead of “disgusting”

I'm 56 years old and I have never used sunscreen in my life, have never felt a sunburn though I will turn red....for a day, then I turn brown. I think it must be more of a genetic disposition for folks because I've seen folks get sunburn and they seem to be in pain. The most I've ever felt from a sunburn is a slight itch. When I was a kid and would turn red some smarta** would always be around to slap ya on the shoulder and when I'd simply look back at them and smile I think it freaked them out a little.
I am of Middle Eastern origin. The only time I have had a slight sunburn was when I was in the Sinai desert. I don't use sunscreen either (I'm 63.).
So I agree with you that it's genetic.
I honestly hope you never develop melanoma. My sister-in-law died from it at 45.
66 years young….never wore sun screen (wasn’t really a thing in the early sixties). I remember my skin gradually turning brown and thinking is was dirty and try to scrub it off. My mom told me it was because I spent so much time outside and it was kind of protecting me. I do think it’s genetics(I have some Norwegian blood), and the intensity of the sun where you live. In the Midwest it’s always kind of a filtered sun. In the southern states it’s much stronger. To this day (I’m 66) I never have a sunburn, just gradually darken in the summer months. Hair gets lighter skin gets darker that is just my life. I will say I do have kinda wrinkly skin but no cellulite or other such things due to being kinda fit and not being afraid to go outside.
Thank you for saying that tornado myth, I remember I was argued down to the ground they only happen in Tornado alley.

Tomatoes: Taxonomically, they ARE a fruit. But, by law in North Carolina, they are a vegetable (?for tax purposes or school lunch menues???) Irregardless: New words enter the English language all the time, and some drop out. An Americanism that really grates my ear is "normalcy', invented by a Depression-era president. The word SHOULD BE normality! A certain former president is infamous for mis-hearing/using/understanding english words.
