CMV: Broken in half spaghetti is superior to unbroken spaghetti

And I'm tired of pretending it's not.

One simple reason: Sauce. Breaking it in half lets me cook the spaghetti in a shallow amount of water in a saute pan rather than a pot. I figure using much less water means I get a higher concentration of starch in the pasta water, which makes it better using it in sauces. Absolutely vital when, as we all know, sauce doesn't stick to spaghetti well.

Aside from tradition, the only thing unbroken pasta has going for it is the longer length makes it easier to twirl into a fork. But realistically i've never had a problem with the broken pasta, I dont need to eat a baseball amount of spaghetti in every bite. I'll take stronger sauces over that every single day.

Pop psychology seems to be obsessed with studies about misanthropy that are widely discredited, what's going on?

I know almost nothing about psychology, but from what I hear as a layman, It feels like nearly every single study i hear referenced regularly is:

1: About hidden evil in people, how will act evil/misanthropic if given power/anonymity/opportunity

2: Completely discredited and never actually been repeated, either because it was done so poorly or the people running it deliberately skewed things to get the results they wanted.

There's the obvious examples like the standford prison experiment and milgram experiment, or any of the studies where they sealed rats in an empty box with nothing to do and decided that says something about human psychology that I still see people reference constantly.

The idea of the 'bystander effect', specifically the story of Kitty Genovese also falls under this to me too. Despite the evidence showing several people did help her, the image/horror of nobody helping has stuck around.

I know about the whole replication crisis, but the fixation with misanthropy in the popular culture just seems really strange to me? maybe this isn't a thing and I'm just pulling random patterns out of stuff

Is there aggressive/heavy IDM style music? Has anyone ever tried to invent mathstep?

Like an electronic version of mathcore. Has the sort of heavyness that you get with 'brostep' or industrial techno, but with the really erratic complexity of IDM/math genres.

Breakcore kind of comes close with stuff like venetian snares but doesn't really have the heavyness imo. This sort of thing makes too much sense to not exist and I need to find it.
