our @eric3579 who art in sifthalla,
hallowed be thy username.
thy kingdom come.
thy sifts adored
in unsifted as they are on front page.
give us this day our quality videos,
and forgive us our shameless kittens,
as we forgive those who downvote us,
and lead us not into youtube,
but deliver us from evil.

for thine is the kingdom,
and the powerpoints, and the badges,
for ever and ever,
ramen.

RAmen!

Do the authors think you can get a primetime TV spot for the cost of a cheeseburger or something? Maybe a Super Bowl spot for the price of two Top Ramens and a slab of bacon?

ANY time there's scarcity you need money to regulate it, and the more scarce something is (like primetime TV minutes) and the more people value it (like primetime TV minutes) the higher the price will be.

Fucking study economics, idiots.

I personally believe the only way to turn around this "new economy" is through innovation and entrepreneurship. Manufacturing is gone, we have to accept that. The service industry is hurting too, so we have to evolve.

As far as starting capital, I bootstrapped a business years ago with $2,000 and ramen noodles. It now employs 12 people. We pay better than market wages, provide excellent benefits, and generally treat each other like family. We found a niche and went for it.

Along my journey, I've met literally hundreds of young entrepreneurs that have similar success stories. It's not impossible, it just takes the willingness to work. You have to see problems as opportunities to make things better, and then take action. Sitting around talking about the problems doesn't do a whole lot of good. It's up to us to present solutions as well.

Just my $0.02.

i cant imagine setting this up would be any more efficient than boiling some noodles........but if i had one of these i wouldnt fix my ramen any other way =)

*burp* I was already done fixing and eating my ramen by the time this contraption was assembled, triggered, and finished.

rAmen.

Ahmen[Ramen]....oh wait

Fixed that for you!

^ Obviously you need water deep enough to cover the noodles, regardless of the width of the vessel, but ideally the vessel shouldn't be any wider than necessary because you'd be wasting energy heating up additional water and diluting the flavor.

The ramen ingredients are actually pretty harmless if you look them up.

Worse is all the uncooked chicken in frozen meals which doesn't get cooked properly in the microwave.

Instructions for perfect ramen:

...

And don't even get me started on fozen meals. They're an abomination and a public health hazard due to all the crap that gets put in them, but that's nothing inherent to freezing food.

Ramen!

I did not mean to offend any pastafarians...

This video is an argument of philosophy, not an argument of science. As such, it doesn't matter if we bring string theory into it. One could say instead "imagine if there were 10 dimensions, but we can't see all of them". We don't know why gravity works yet, but you just have to accept that Newton and Einstein's work was incomplete. Big Bang theory is based on observations of an expanding universe, but it's impossible to say what happened before that point in time (t=0). It's ok for Scott to use that, but not ok for me to use string theory? Maybe it's an oscillating universe, and it's impossible to observe because humans have not had the capacity to make observations for a long enough time span on a cosmic scale.

I thought Scott presented a good argument in the video. My comments are not to disprove his argument, I stated that already.

I'd like to think that I'm going to be a millionaire one day. Like to think all I want, I'd have better luck learning to love top ramen.

Oh and you're really bringing string theory into this? It's a little early in the game to consider string theory a load bearing part of any argument. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy mathematics leading the charge of what we know about the physical world, but let's pump the brakes a bit.

I would assume that he also does not believe in a "soul" (defined however you want) and that humans (and any other intelligent life) are simply the sum of their biological components. (like God, the existence of a soul cannot be proven. I'm not trying to prove it, but I like to think that we are more than an amalgamation of cells and electricity)

Thanks, lucky.

I am the fifth meatball of the apocalypse. You must repent of your low-carb ways, for dinner is nigh. His Noodliness will descend to the table and offer himself to each of you.

Now let us all join hands in prayer...

Our Pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day our garlic bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, for thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever, Ramen.
