Laying traps and playing on semantics aren't what this site - or debating in general - should be about, in my view. Valuable debates occur when a good-faith exchange of opposing ideas takes place.

Moreover, relative to my post #13, according to U.S. Nav archives, the U.S.S. Eldridge was never near Philadelphia during the alleged "experiment," and ship's log shows no mention of said "experiment," nor its alleged effects., although both issues are part of the movie of that name produced by New World Pictures in 1984. It's a fiction, along with, to date, the evidence of teleportation from anywhere to anywhere.

As Melcharaz suggested, this appears to be a semantics debate, turning not on the word "food," but "consumption."

I'm fine with the content of the description, but with every word on a separate line, I have to scroll twice as far as usual to read the debates.

@PressF4Respect

Yeah, I'd like to believe that we still have some good debates here :)

-->
@K_Michael

I mean, there's still SOME value in the description, like learning the words "victuals", "viands", "viaticum", and "comestibles"

Might use that vocab in a fancy restaurant someday 🤔

@DebateArt.com

I mean, there are still SOME good new debates here... right?

You can try again when we have 3000 haha

@DebateArt.com

Oh wow have the times gone by...

I still remember when I made a "1000th debate" that never came to fruition, lol

@User_2006

Wooooooooooooo, that's amazing news!

Hey, this is the 2000th debate on the entire site!

Go without food and water, see how long ya last. Lol. Unless this is a semantic debate
