Swimming is not a real sport, it is just a hobby to stay alive

I'll just say it. Swimming is not a real sport... It's a really good hobby. If you do it really fast, I'm not saying Michael Phelps isn't impressive. I'm saying swimming is not a sport... It's just a means of staying alive that you can be more efficient at.

Hot TakeLifeScorchingSarcastic
Swimming is objectively recognized as a sport by all major athletic bodies.

If I get into a fight, I would be charged with murder because my hands are registered weapons

I got legal hands, I can't fight anybody. No seriously, like legally I'd get murder not manslaughter if I get into a fight with someone... because I was registered in a professional boxing match.

The idea of 'registered hands' as lethal weapons for boxers is a common legal myth; no such registry exists for the purposes of automatic murder charges.

Human hearts have a finite number of beats, so running is bad for you

As far as I'm concerned, your heart only has a finite amount of beats programmed into it at birth. It's like eggs in a woman. So I don't want to raise my heart rate too high because then it's not going to be around to beat when I'm past the age of 70.

Fact ClaimLifeFireSarcastic
This is a long-debunked biological myth (famously associated with Donald Trump). While a human heart has an average number of beats over a lifetime, cardiovascular exercise improves heart efficiency, lowering resting heart rate and typically extending life.

Nobody can ever truly achieve a first down because of Zeno's paradox

If you really want to get philosophical ... Nobody can ever truly achieve a first down because in order to get ten yards you first have to go five yards. And then you have to get five yards. You have to go two and a half yards and so you will never actually make it all the way to a down.

OpinionLifeMildSarcastic
It's a satirical application of Zeno's paradox of motion; in reality, first downs are achieved.
