The new NFL helmet tackling rule is going to kill football

The new helmet rule, the tackling helmet rule, is going to kill football. It's essentially every single hit in the NFL you can be like, is there going to be a flag? There should be a flag every single tackle. So we're kind of screwed.

The NFL did not die, but the rule led to significant confusion and inconsistent officiating for several seasons.

DNA is just the human body's way of cloning itself

It's [DNA] a human body's way of just cloning itself. [On genes being passed down]

DNA is a template for replication, but sexual reproduction involves recombination, not true cloning (which would be identical).

Mormon soaking is a real practice where couples stay still to avoid technically having sex

The soak is you're not allowed to have sex before you get married... You are allowed to soak. What does that mean? You just put it in. Don't move. Just lay there. You soak it. Just put it in... with no friction.

Soaking (or 'marinating') is a well-documented urban legend and rumored practice within the LDS/BYU community to bypass religious prohibitions against premarital sex, though its widespread reality is difficult to verify.
