Is there anything that can be not bad in excess?

[Adeptus Aspartem]

Being alive doesn't count right? Immortality would rock. And don't give me the "but everyone dies" card, that's gonna happen anyway.

Ah jeah and Bacon. Because dying of bacon is no negativ sideffect - it's heaven.

 

[lord Claincy Ffnord]

Thinking. That can't be bad for you, provided you think carefully and check your logic.

Ever heard of over-thinking something
Thinking about something too much can actually be harmful to the psyche if it was a bad/traumatic experience or something.

 

[Denamic]

If it's in 'excess', it's bad by definition.
If it isn't bad, then it isn't 'excessive'.

 

[Krantos]

I'mma go with the obvious Sex.

I mean, really, If you did it as often as you physically could you'd be exhausted, but alive and pretty damn happy.

Granted, after the 4th time in a day I feel about ready to die, but I've never regretted it.

Excluding abstractions such as happiness, friendship, knowledge, etc. I'd say reading. Knowledge is power, and books seem to be suffering a heavy loss of respect in this increasingly short-minded world.

But then again, we'd wind up as aggressively antisocial bookworms...

I'd say debating (or more loosely, conversation), as long as you enjoy it and keep coming up with topics.

But that'd end up becoming bickering and bitching in the long run...

God, this is a HARD question :O How come I've never thought of this before?

Purring cats. Seriously, who doesn't get happy when they make a cat purr? It's one of the few animals that actually gives you some feedback on how much it appreciates what you're doing.

Donuts, you can't go wrong with donuts.

Serious answer: thinking?

Dying comes to mind. Once you've died, you're pretty much beyond the reach of negative effects. You might have brain damage or some shit if they resuscitate you, but that's really the fault of being alive, not of dying.

You're still suffering from negative effects, even if its only just the once, it doesn't pass the wording of the question.

 

[Woodsey]

...Being happy?
Can you actually suffer from perpetually being in good spirits? I have to wonder about that.

You should suffer all sorts of nasty shit if you're one of those people who acts all cheery in the morning.

You can crack your fingers and knuckles as much as you like.

But what about artritis!?

I think it can be indicative of arthritis, not a cause.

Three pages and still nobody came with the right answer.

There is no other answer

Cowbell. You can never have enough cowbell.

This seems to be the only right answer though thank you for reminding me that even at age 26 I can feel old. (that sketch was 12 years ago).

I am going with imagination... you can never have enough imagination.
And I mean imagination from creative thinking, not from eating pot brownies.

First and foremost, this is only true if you consider death to be negative. It isn't. It is the just and correct end to life, neither positive nor negative to the person in question.

Second, dead people can't suffer anything on account of being dead, unless you believe in an afterlife.

It's Stephen Fry, and also the correct answer.

There is never enough Stephen Fry in any given situation.

Buddhism says you can. I think. Maybe.

Is there anything you can do that no matter how often you do it, you suffer absolutely no negative effects?

Blinking

/thread

Spoiler: Blinking has no negative consequences?

I...don't believe... so...

Thanks. Now I'm afraid to scroll away from that picture.

 

[Chunga the Great]

I'm glad you like it.

That makes me think of something there can never be too much of!

I am a teenage American male, and I fucking love Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

Some say I have a problem, but I just view it as a hobby. I can stop anytime I want....

I am a slightly-older-than-teenaged American male, and I have a PonPonPon avatar.

I also may or may not have the song itself in my music library.

... I mean, Big Boss is the manliest of men, isn't he? Especially the way he repeats things in that gravelly voice, just like his successor does.

[sub]Somehow that sounds more girly than liking a peppy, bright and weird J-Pop artist. Or is that just me?[/sub]

I own the album and will be buying the new single coming out in a week. I also may or may not follow her on twitter. And read her blog. [sub]may or may not is the key phrase here....[/sub]


I can almost feel the judgement from the rest of the forums through my monitor.....

DON'T HATE, I DO WHAT I WANT

 

[Nightly Rabi]

What about applying the rule 'don't do anything in excess' in excess...

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Is there anything you can do that no matter how often you do it, you suffer absolutely no negative effects?

Blinking

/thread

Might be possible to accidentally trigger an epileptic seizure, if your body is geared that way and you're blinking rapidly. Rapidly blinking for a about 15 seconds causes my eyes to hurt, similar to if I'm staring at a strobe light or something similar. The effect certainly seems the same.

Broken Pelvis? Exhaustion? "Call a doctor if it lasts more than 4 hours" is a thing for a reason, friend. Also, because I thought of it:

And Now I'm sad, because I can't find a video clip of Futurama's "Death! By Snoo-Snoo-!" moment. Aww.
