The 50 Most Annoying Facts People Can’t Stop Explaining—And Why You Should Care
[source – article](https://examine.com/nutrition/does-metabolism-vary-between-two-people/)
From the article
_”for resting metabolic rate (how many calories are burnt by living), 1 standard deviation of the population (68%) was within 6-8% of the average metabolic rate. Extending this, 2 standard deviations of the population (96%) was within 10-16% of the population average.”_
_”Extending this into practical terms [if the average expenditure were] 2000kcal a day, then 68% of the population falls into the range of 1840-2160kcal daily while 96% of the population is in the range of 1680-2320kcal daily”_
_”Metabolic rate does vary, and technically there could be large variance. However, statistically speaking it is unlikely the variance would apply to you. The majority of the population exists in a range of 200-300kcal from each other and do not possess hugely different metabolic rates.”_
The article summarises that the far from there being some inevitable debilitating curse of “low metabolism”… just “moderately active living” (deliberate activity but without breaking a sweat) is sufficient to overide the inherent difference in metabolic rate in the vast majority of people. (the outliers being those with hypothyroidism – a diagnosable condition)
“Eat less, move more” in within everyone’s grasp. And everyone’s responsibility.

Wrestling fans are well aware that it is not real.
Freedom of speech only protects you from the government, not other people.
Flamingos don’t have “backwards knees”, those bits are their ankles.
Cows are female, male cattle are bulls or steers (if castrated). I am an agriculture teacher and this is the hardest thing to get students and some adults to understand. Not every bovine in a field is a cow. Wow, I feel better now that I got that off my chest….
Edited: I am teaching the proper names to my students, as part of our curriculum.
Schizophrenics do not have multiple personalities. That would be Multiples Personality Disorder or as it is known now in the DSM, Dissociative Identity Disorder. TV shows and movies seem to have trouble with this one a lot.
Just because you were spanked as a child and “turned out ok” does not mean you should spank your child. There is a ton of hippocracy in telling children not to hit and then spanking them when they make a mistake. Explaining something to kids is much more effective in the long run than spanking is.
Freedom of speech means you can’t be arrested for what you’re saying (within reason – you can’t yell “fire” in a crowded theater.) Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you can say what you want without other repercussions.
