submitted by TheSpiceMelange to AskUpgoat 2 monthsMar 9, 2024 21:43:52 ago (+2/-1)     (AskUpgoat)

Is it inherently masculine or inherently stupid?

Ayn Rand thought so and demanded all of her inner circle be smokers.

They're all dead now.

That depends on if you cultivate your own Tobacco for personal use, or buy it after it's been processed, and doped with chemicals by some corporation to make it more potent and addictive.

Nicotine is a PED. It calms you down, but it also sharpens the mind. This fuckin gruel that Marlboro sells is bullshit, but good quality tobacco is actually pretty good for you. Don't get me wrong, inhaling smoke into your lungs is never healthy for your body, but if we're talking about the mind there's few things better.

I don't smoke. But maybe it is based if only because social engineers have decided it isn't kosher. I'm socially tolerant of it, drug use, tattoos, and similar things I see as non-essential.

Tell us what you mean by "based" first.

I've heard conflicting things on its effect on testosterone levels, and smoking appears to be the standard for men for millennia. Based in this instance would mean a natural truth, something "normal" that has been demonized by societal cucks looking to weaken the men of the western world. I know it gives you cancer, but is it a natural male behavior?

Sounds like some Andrew Anglin stuff.

Uh huh. Right. "I've heard" ... Base on what? "Scientists"? And this is from "studies"?

I asked how smoking was "based", whatever the fuck that means. I'd still like to know what you mean by "based". What you said is meaningless.

No, I asked how smoking was based. You asked for a definition of based, and I'm sorry if my response was not descriptive enough. Based, in this sense, is referring to "natural" and "right", not necessarily "good". I know that smoking isn't good for you, just as war is not "good" for us, but it IS natural and contributes to the dimensions of man. Just as war is not "good" for ones health, it has the potential to distil the essence of masculinity. Is smoking the same?

Technically, "based" is part of the negro language. Know your meme has a page on it.

Based? Based On What? The Chad-Affiliated Slang Phrase Explained
The ever-evolving terrain of online slang inevitably finds its way back to Lil B. Whether it's the phrase ""let him cook":https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/let-him-cook-let-that-boy-cook, being down bad or the topic at hand, being based. There are various interpretations of the word "based," ranging from typical use in AAVE slang, ironic use in internet-pilled circles, to nefarious use in anti-woke propaganda. But to understand use, we must first delve into its roots: to Lil B, the Based God.

Where Does The Word 'Based' Come From?
The coinage of the word "based" is largely attributed to the rapper Lil B, who shared his thoughts behind using the word in his music and daily life in a 2010 interview with Complex magazine. Supposedly, the word "basehead" would often be levied against him as an insult, prompting him to try and reclaim its meaning through his own words and music. The word grew to widespread use primarily through the Based God meme, where people would overlay variations of the phrase, "thank you based god" or "based god fucked all my bitches" on different photos.

That would be every reason not to use the word in that sense ever again.

Thot, based, bruh, and a bunch more. I'd add "gay" to corruptions the kids have been brainwashed into accepting.

I like cigars several times a week. I don’t really consider it smoking as you don’t inhale cigar smoke. Cigarettes and vaping into your lungs will eventually fuck you up. Cigar smokers seem to live into their 90’s

[ - ] Scyber 1 point 2 monthsMar 9, 2024 22:28:47 ago (+1/-0)

What about cigar smokers who get mouth and throat cancer?

[ - ] Sector2 1 point 2 monthsMar 9, 2024 22:43:33 ago (+1/-0)

They don't live into their 90s.

My great grandfather lived till 96 and loved cheap beer and cigars. Dude was from Hungary though

My grandfather chewed it, and lived to 92. He used to have gross 'spit cups' sitting around you had to watch out for.

I'm not sure if that or a coffee you forgot you put a butt out in is worse

[ - ] Sector2 0 points 2 monthsMar 10, 2024 12:35:02 ago (+0/-0)

Definitely the spit cups half full of chewed tobacco spit. Bleagh.

Is smoking a cigar akin to bumb puffing a smoke? There are people that don't inhale the smoke of a ciggie and they call it bumb puffing.

Haven't had one in a minute. What's some of your favorite brands

Right, same here. I also used to smoke a pipe and enjoyed it for the same reason I enjoy smoking cigars. I like the smell of the smoke and I like watching the smoke swirl around the room. For me it's also just as much a visual experience.
