Dumbass Sayings: “You Get Out What You Put in”

If you ever hire a dietitian or “wellness lifestyle coach” to help you become healthier they’ll always say “You get out what you put in.” This is a mostly false statement. If you’re talking about diet then it’s extremely untrue. When it comes to what you’re eating, you get out fecal matter. You can put whatever you want in your mouth, in a matter of hours it will become a brownish, rotten, mucusy lump of human waste. Now unless you’re eating shit, you definitely don’t get out what you put in. There are many situations where you don’t get out what you put in. If you’re engaging in intercourse and forget to pull out, you’re putting in sperm, but you don’t get out sperm. In 9 months, or if the woman is a drug addict, maybe more like 5 months, you get an accident human. That’s not what you put in! You never really get out what you put in. Even if you’re figuratively talking about putting hard work into a project or task, you don’t get out hard work. That wouldn’t make sense. This saying is literally incorrect.

You only get out what you put in when it comes to a finger up your nose or in your ass, and even then what you get out might be a little more than you bargained for.
