I think the point of the passage is you could become super saiyan by channeling his power, maybe learn some theology

Yeah so what im picturing is essentially a funnel or hose scenario where you've got the input and output going simultaneously

Yeah but given this person has to shit for years on end I think it would be ill-advised to take the time to wipe

Getting mixed reports on this issue. As journalists often say, if everyone from all sides is calling you an idiot, you've got it right bsky.app/profile/moat...

Argh that's probably true. I guess I was accounting for some phone time between sessions

I think if you were to attempt this The Spinoff would cover your costs

it's a great suggestion but unfortunately I am too stupid to even do the small amount of maths I have attempted

agree, I was certainly happier before I heard the number "70 million litres of raw sewage"

In a 1992 study, researchers found humans produce a median 105g of faecal matter per day. Let’s assume that faeces takes two minutes to evacuate your bowels. If you started now, it would take you 2,535 years, 15 days, 13 hours, and 20 minutes of non-stop shitting to produce as much waste as the Moa Point plant is expelling onto schools of unsuspecting fish every day.

Josie Butler talks about engaging in "dildo target practice" around her flat

Though I try to stay humble, I'd say I'm probably the nation's top journalist when it comes to in-depth reporting on the Waitangi dildo strike. Even so, I hadn't picked up this piece of info until this week thespinoff.co.nz/politics/05-...

Incisive critique from David Seymour: the people trying to remove the single biggest barrier to building housing should focus instead on trying to make it easier to build houses

All the bogus reasons for National’s latest housing U-turn There needs to be an inquiry into the standard of the bullshit we’re expected to believe.<br />

would honestly prefer it if the anti-upzoning people would just come out and say the sight of a townhouse makes them sick rather than gabbling on nonsensically about the lack of infrastructure in the most infrastructure-dense parts of the city thespinoff.co.nz/politics/19-...

Herald saying nine storeys "might not be the worst of it" and taller buildings could be on their way in Freemans Bay

I know this is a shocking thing to say but the Herald's habit of assuming extra housing is inherently negative has me wondering if it might have some kind of editorial slant on urban issues
