What’s up fellas, I just came across the best online argument that has ever taken place. Also, I have completely abandoned the cold case mystery thing. This argument took place in a 2007 bodybuilding forum on Bodybuilding.com, and it has been forever immortalized as the greatest, most intelligent debate ever held. 

The adventure starts with an unassuming question from an innocent user which reads,

This is a great question by this random guy, he is just wondering if he can do full body workouts every other day without getting hurt (you can). The same guy then makes another post,

Soooo, if you go to the gym every other day for a week, you will go 5 days a week? Yea, just did the math and it checks out. Everything was going well until somebody called out this innocent user, saying

This also makes sense, if you divide 7 by 2, you get 3.5. This guy clearly went to school. However, one of our protagonists, Josh, answers back.

Josh also has a point, if you go to the gym every other day starting from Monday, you will go four days. Also, you can’t have a half workout, right? Well, our other protagonist, Justin, has an answer for us. He says,

Here we see that Justin uses a technique called long division. He divides 7 by 2 and gets a remainder of 1, then brings down a zero, inserts a decimal point into the answer, and finishes it off by dividing 10 by 2, which leaves him with the answer of 3.5. Very sophisticated stuff going on here. However, Josh is unfazed by Justin’s logic, he responds,

From my calculations, Josh is also correct. With the long division method, dividing 8 by 2 gives you 4 times a week. Maybe Justin is all muscle and no brains. Josh seems to have won the debate, but Stevie comes out of nowhere and says,

Stevie really hit Josh with the “Grow up and admit when you are wrong. Believe me you will get a a lot further in life this way.” GAME OVER. Pysch, Josh responds,

While we don’t have the image of Josh’s calendar, you can image that it was a calendar with 15 days on it, which means Josh is right, 2 weeks is 15 days which means Josh didn’t double count Sunday. Justin responds,

Justin claims that 15 days does not equal 14 days, and sprinkles a lil Spanish on top to add insult to injury. Josh fires back,

He claims you don’t count the first day, which probably makes sense. So Josh wins? NO, Justin returns fire,

Justin believes he has to spell it out for Josh, but Josh responds with,

Josh uses credible evidence from a primary source and includes an annotated bibliography. Justin replies,

Justin is clearly getting angry which means he is losing the debate. Justin goes to far by insulting Josh’s public schools, wow. Now I will be here forever if I show every post between our two protagonists because there are hundreds, but they basically go back and forth calling each other names, throwing insults at each other, and debating whether a week is from Sunday-Sunday or Saturday-Saturday. This goes on until Josh suddenly goes offline. He doesn’t post for a while and Justin starts going on a victory tour. Justin calls Josh a moron and a variety of words I can’t write, but it seems lost for Josh. Even other people who weren’t even involved in the argument chime in and start shaming Josh. Where is our hero and when is he coming back? Justin continues to build an army of cronies to rally against Josh, but Josh hasn’t posted in hours. Keep in mind this thread has been going on for days now. Soon, Justin goes to bed as well and more people start having the same debate all over again, but we don’t care about some irrelevant fools, we just want to know where Josh went. Some random says,

HELL NO, NO NO NO. There is absolutely no way we are stopping this now, this guy should be banished from Earth and sent to the moon with a perfect living environment so he can live the rest of his life in solitude as he grows weak due to the moon’s lower gravity. However, when morning hits, Justin is back at it again. The reign over the forum is getting to his head as he says things like, ” I know I’m college educated and far smarter than those around me”. You can clearly tell that Justin doesn’t win a lot in life because his head is in outer space. However, an entire day since his last post, the eking returns to his throne with this response,

Josh plays it cool, which is what I would do in this situation. If you act like you don’t care after making your opp fully invested, it is a brutal blow, and it clearly affected Justin,

Justin has clearly lost his mind, he has snorted too much dry-erase marker and now he can only see Martians, someone please help him! NO, Josh is ruthless, he has no mercy, he hits Justin with the finishing blow,

This post marks the noticeable end of the debate, and for good reason. Josh crafted this response with no regard for human life, it makes me feel kind of bad for Justin. While I do think that Josh wasn’t trolling, the fact that I was rooting against Justin the entire time made this ending so much better. And the cherry on top, Josh pretty much tricked Justin into writing a 3000-word paper on working out every other day. Long Live king Josh
