Infinite Flamewar
-
I have to wonder what has been said in Turn Left about my thread of scum and villainy.
That is a quiet place. Not much gets said there. Don't get cocky, kid.

I assumed as much.

It is like you don't even know me boomy. It is like you don't even know me.

BAC is high
According to His Most Royal Excellency, High King @Polygeekery, Protector of the Booze of Men, that is the perfect time to participate in the Infinite Flamewar.
-
It does, actually. It's not even hidden in the raw code or anything.

This is not the Infinite Flamewar thread. This is the Infinite Flamewar thread.
-
That's cute. Also, you used "is" twice in a row.

I have contributed here. I was passing on advice from His Most Royal Excellency to boomzilla in regards to proper Infinite Flamewar techniques.According to His Most Royal Excellency, High King @Polygeekery, Protector of the Booze of Men, that is the perfect time to participate in the Infinite Flamewar.

Oh, twee hee hee. Have you started on that bag of dicks yet?

I have not. There's currently only one dick I have any intention of putting in my mouth, and I would rather it stay attached to the man in possession of it.

You're off topic. Check your porch. Also, . This is discussion of being a flaming asshole, not being a flaming asshole.

You're off topic. Check your porch.
I believe that attempts at personal insult are generally counterproductive to the goal of an infinite flamewar.
-
I believe that the experience in the actual flamewar thread has shown otherwise. Results, however, have not been rigorously interpreted. Still waiting on somebody who loves doing insane things with computers.... to score it in various ways.

You didn't happen to send him some custom shaped Haribo sugarless candies, did you? Cause that seems to be what you are getting at.

I daresay that attempts at personal insult have probably not been the primary contributing factor to the thread's length. It is my hypothesis that attempts at personal insult generally lead to an end of discussion, either when the insultee is offended to the point of leaving, or the insulter grows tired of trying to offend the insultee by shuffling around a small subset of words the insulter perceives to be negative.

If so, I would consider eating them, if I could verify that they weren't poisoned. I actually rather enjoy the taste of Haribo candies, though I disagree with their political stance and refuse to give my own money to them.
-

So if I sent you some Haribo sugarless gummy bears from Amazon, you would eat them?
-
A flamewar, however, is larger than any one participant, and since human lifespan is not infinite, the insultee leaving is irrelevant.
My money is on choice of topic being the strongest determinant.
However, an outright freakshow can go on for a very, very long time. For instance, that other other thread.
-
If they were straight from Amazon, yes, I probably would, as long as I could verify that none of you work at an Amazon distribution center near me. I would even eat them if they had or even consisted entirely of little gummy bear penises.
-

True, but there is also not an infinite number of participants to choose from, so the goal would be to prevent participants from leaving long enough for new potential new participants to be born and mature enough that they can then participate.My money is on choice of topic being the strongest determinant.
On this, I agree. And I do believe that that is a major contributor in the other thread's extended lifespan.

Also, I think this is a job for @ben_lubar

I was going to offer to send you some, but apparently they aren't sold anymore (at least not by Amazon). Anyway, you may want to read the reviews:

I don't know what's worse, that they supposedly induce explosive diarrhea, or that they're supposed to be sugarless but several forms of sugar are listed as the primary ingredients.
Also, apparently I have not actually had those particular gummies before. These are what I was thinking of. So I was also rather confused about how the "flaming asshole" comment was relevant; now I see.
-
that they're supposed to be sugarless but several forms of sugar are listed as the primary ingredients.
I'm betting that someone at Amazon was lazy and just copied the ingredients list from the standard Haribo gummy bears. I've read reviews indicating that the ingredient declaration on Amazon is wrong.
Amazon can get away with that given their disclaimer that the ingredients and packaging may differ.

"Hydrogenated Glucose Syrup"
I've never actually seen this phrase, so I'm not sure what it is, but if it is just Glucose in solution with a high pH, which is what I suspect they mean by "hydrogenated", that sounds like not only an outright lie but probably something that would be bad for your digestive tract. Indeed, perhaps that's why they can call it "sugarless"; it contains the simplest sugar to digest, but it also exits your digestive system so fast that a negligible amount of it can be absorbed into the body.

I've switched to mostly mindless trolling at this point.
The other kind is too much work.
-
little gummy bear penises
I think they sell them at the gummy store in $NEXT_MAJOR_TOWN's railway station.

Drug use and its applications in flaming. Alcohol is, for infini-raisins, the best known. Cocaine has strong reported and observed merits as increasing levels of asshole.

hydrogenated
Is the sudden prejudice against hydrogenated vegetable oil just another form of transphobia?
<yeah yeah, hydrogenated vegetable oil is not a trans fat, but then the joke doesn't work.
-
, but yes, I would certainly say so - it may of course depend on the degree of hydrogenation that is being stigmatized.

"Hydrogenated Glucose Syrup"
Hydrogenated glucose syrups (HGS) are a mixture of polymers of glucose obtained from starch by hydrolysis which, upon hydrogenation, results in chemical reduction of the end-group glucose molecule to sorbitol. HGS consists primarily of maltitol and sorbitol, with lower portions of hydrogenated oligo- and polysaccharides.[1]
So, not really sugar. Well, at least not table sugar.

Ah, and that explains the "laxative effects" of these gummy bears. Sugar alcohols can be used as laxatives, though I don't know if those two act as laxatives at any concentration or, like xylitol, must be consumed in larger quantities to have that effect, and Wikipedia doesn't have the answer for those particular ones.
-
maltitol
This stuff, and/or maltose, for some reason makes me fall rapidly asleep. Hardly anything else does.
-
I don't recall reading anything about that when I was trying to find any details on just how much of a laxative it is. I wonder if that implies that in low amounts it is not a laxative, but instead causes drowsiness. Or maybe your body handles maltitol differently than most people. Further research is necessary.

And you got the trick question wrong! We were looking for something like, "A hybrid of the X chromosomes carried by the biological mother." If you were to take the X that the daughter received from the mother and compare it to each of the Xs that the mother had, you would find that neither was an identical match.
An X chromosome formed by random recombination of her mother's X chromosomes. There. I even used the keyword an anal retentive professor would be skimming my test to see if he or she were to ask that question.
Actually, to be truly pedantic about it, X chromosomes don't necessarily recombine. While crossing over is fairly common, it is not universal, or even particularly frequent. IIRC, a typical meiosis (the division of the chromosome pairs into the randomly segregated sets of single chromosomes in the gametes) has one instance of crossing over, which can be in any of the 23 pairs, and there's no certainty that any crossing over occurs at all. So the mother's X chromosome is likely to be identical to the daughter's, but not certain to be.
While there are other forms of recombination than crossing over (the 'jumping genes' can recombine within a chromosome, but don't necessarily move to a different one), these are even less frequent, as I understand it. Gene loci do tend to remain in the same chromosome, and rarely jump to a different paired chromosome (and almost never to an unpaired chromosome, i.e., you wouldn't expect a gene located on chromosome 12 to relocate to chromosome 5, and if it did it would almost certainly be inactivated).

Hooray, someone who actually knows as much as I do about at least one subject pertaining to biology. highfives you

So far, it is my working hypothesis that for an Infinite Flamewar to take place, there must be a debate between at least two clashing sides in which neither side is willing to give up, or accept the opposing side's claims enough that they would be willing to let the matter rest.
-
Meh ... Who gives a ...

What the fuck has been learned here.
I learned that you don't even understand fizzbuzz.
-
But you're wrong if you have a buzz before a fizz, even if that means buzzing and then fizzing on two consecutive numbers. Don't you know fizzbuzz? [spoiler][/sarcasm][/spoiler]

That might make it a never-ending flamewar, but not infinite.
You could possibly generate a never-ending flamewar programmatically.

Only if you write it in the one, correct programming language.

And, it could be infinitely large if you use one of @ben_lubar's compilers.

I think there's a minimum requirement of "at least one bra cox".

I'm not sure how this contributes to an infinite flamewar?
