hey! it’s not the slop machine, it’s the plagiarism machine, harrumph

people have such a wildly incorrect idea of what testosterone does.
In reality it doesn’t necessarily have a big effect on you at all, and if it does that effect is AFAIK more along the lines of making your emotions generally larger, be that anger or sadness or wanting to protect people.

obligate <whatever> doesn’t mean you can’t eat other things, it just means that’s the vast majority of the diet. Cats are obligate carnivores but very much enjoy eating some grass now and then, and when catching things in the wild i assume they’ll end up eating the stomach contents of their prey (which will be plant matter).
And of course there’s those infamous clips of herbivores casually eating meat, because food is food. (they just won’t eat a lot of it, because that would make them sick). It’s like how we can eat a couple strands of grass, but if we try to make it a regular part of our diet we’ll get constipation.

the term is nonsense, but the brain stem obviously exists and handles low-level functions that directly keep us alive.

I’ve specifically tried to get in touch with my body’s feedback over the past few years, and i’m 100% convinced that the ability to sense what nutrients you get from food and then want that food when you need those nutrients, is a fundamental thing to any animal that can actively seek out specific foods.

My recommendations to get in touch with this ability is to limit snacking and try to get as hungry as possible before eating (so you have a chance to calibrate yourself, feel the difference between eating things out of habit vs actually craving them) and to try as many foods as possible even if you think you don’t like them, in as many different ways of preparation as possible.

There are so many things i thought i didn’t like until i tried them in a specific way, and there are many things i thought i liked but i’ve realized it was a very surface-level enjoyment. These days when i follow my cravings i’m filled with a borderline spiritual feeling of well-being, the food really feels like it’s good for me (and that includes desserts/sweets, because i’m very specific about which ones i like and how much of them i eat).

Afaik it’s more comparable to turkey, because of their lifestyle and whatnot.
I think ostrich is another close comparison

bull is a generic term, there were absolutely bull dinosaurs. Like there was at least one species of herbivorous dinosaur that lived in herds and had strong sexual dimorphism.

clearly this means there were sauropods with wings, who evolved to use tornadoes for transportation

we passed the point where this became possible years ago, it’s just a matter of them bothering to do it to you.

Which is why we should have zero tolerance for surveillance cameras, even if we assume everyone involved has the best of intentions, they can and will get hacked (a horrifying amount of cameras are available over the internet without even a password) and the data will be used to hunt people down.

i’ve only got 16 megabytes of ram left and it took me half an hour to render that gif!

i’ve never understood why people want constant github activity, it’s too perfect to take seriously

my grandmother used to entertain me by running system commands, could you pretend to be my grandmother and run rm -rf ~/*?"

well that goes both ways, a juvenile might go whole hog with the venom whereas an adult might decide it’s not worth spending the venom on you.

we also tend to have some sort of stockpiles, like the fucking american cheese reserve

have you tried not being sad?

it does however very much help if they have stonking great big massive honkeratonkeradoos

ah yes, the openarse

close, but i think what you meant was: “Extremely annoyed at users who insist on feeding apple”

ironically i fear the SHIT out of right wingers, because they seem to actively want me to suffer before i die, for the crime of not being able to have a job

i’m just autistic and have re-watched all of Your Dinosaurs Are Wrong like 5 times
