While making a sandwich, I realized that if a tomato is really a fruit, then ketchup is a jam.

This may have just genuinely blown my mind. I'm just going to quote this here so that if I ever look back through my old posts I'll find this and realise what my life has been missing all this time.

Wow, I just realized, you're right.

Provided there is at least a 35% tomato content, yes. However any less and it isn't.

(By EU law. In the us, they aren't legally Jams.)

As corny as it may sound. Sometimes the future is in your hands. You make it what you want, if you feel bad you can change it yourself. Don't wait for things to happen.

Trix products promotes greed and gluttony for kids and PETA are idiots for thinking Pokemon promotes cruelty to animals but apparently starving an animal is okay.

What if oxygen is poisonous... And is slowly killing us, therefore making us die of "Old age"?

I'm a contralto like Cher Bono, I can just about reach all the deep notes that she can.

I go to a karaoke group on fridays and one of the helpers there told me I am a contralto. I didn't believe her at first, although I found out I can reach all the deep notes in Cher's "The shoop shoop song" so it makes sense that I am a contralto since Cher is too.

oxygen IS poisonous. or at least nasty stuff, our white blood cells use it to kill intruders and it is also used to kill and control cancer. its one of the most reactive elements out there, which is why it rusts iron, fuels fire and turns food rancid. but because theres so much of it we learned to make use of its reactivity and depend on it. similar to how rare elements on earth are poisonous to us. but too high a concentration of oxygen will do more harm than good. unless youre an insect (roaches raised in oxygen-rich environments grow to be twice the size as usual, and back in ye olde times with heapo oxygen there were dragonflies the size of birds of prey... ahh <3).
what was i talking about?
oh right yeah. thing is, "old age" death is attributed to something specific, like heart failure or respiratory problems, so youd need to look into underlying causes in more detail.
however, iirc oxygen can cause damage to dna, as does uv radiation (sunlight) and pretty much everything that youre exposed to over time. ie everything. which causes protein abnormalities and cell damage/mutations.
the daily mail was right after all, everything is deadly.
 
its a nice thing to have as a tumblr-post-titbit though.
so long as some lumbering no-fun oaf doesnt ruin it by being Boring, ew who even invited that guy.

The only thing I read there was "Oxygen is poisonous". By that point I got the jist of what you were saying.

I've just realised that Enigma (Tim?) has made apparently made more posts than the total posts made...
