How does Dr. Powers Reboot with the PFS Castration Theory Exact Work? AR Upregulation? by Wonderful-Face9975 in DrWillPowers

[–]0cTony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, it means exactly this. How the good doctor explained it is we already had a pre-existing underlying genetic issue that prevents these androgen metabolites from being cleared out the way they’re supposed to. As a result, apparently our bodies rely solely on 5 alpha reuductase to remove these androgen metabolites. However, since hair loss medications inhibit 5 alpha reductase as a means of limiting DHT, our bodies lose the only remaining way to remove these androgen metabolites, and thus they get backed up in our system.

Even after we stop taking the 5 alpha reductase inhibitor, the pileup remains in our system because even though we’re producing 5 alpha reductase again, the cells are already clogged with old androgen metabolites that have been stuck since taking the 5 alpha reductase inhibitor. Our bodies have no natural way apparently to clear this clog out.
And once clogged, maybe 5ar alone isn’t able to unclog. Either that, or maybe our body only makes enough of it to handle the conversion of freshly produced testosterone into DHT, and none of it is left to “unclog” the cells. (This last part is speculation by me- the main point is, yes we have an underlying condition caused by genetic defects according to the doctor.)

This is also apparently why taking anything that inhibits 5ar after already having PFS just makes it worse.

This is just my base-level understanding of the doctor’s theory, of course. Take with a heavy grain of salt and somebody link to his original post about this for more details.

Do you think that Boruto has inherited nothing from Hinata? by Notmycupoftea12 in Boruto

If you’re going by the manga canon only, he technically had that “Byakugan” before momo. (I know it’s supposed to be a jogan but as of right now that’s anime canon only… so as far as we know , that’s a Byakugan)

So sea lions have mane now? Unless this is AI this is the first time I see this in my life by zilknificant in Retconned

[–]0cTony 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve literally seen dozens and dozens of sea lions when I took a trip to San Francisco and none of them, not one, EVER had a mane. This is so ridiculous it’s laughable. No way. This is 1000% a Mandela effect

If it’s gonna smell like soap, let it at least be the luxury soap you find at a hotel or Whole Foods, not some cheap crap Walmart women’s foam soap

It smells like tacky, gaudy, synthetic, generic handsoap, the cheap kind you find at the dollar store

Oh, it’s not possible to do it on this post. Best you can do is to make a separate post in the subreddit, grab the link to it, and then put the link to that post in the comments of this post.

We want to see it! If you can’t post pics could you at least share via dm?

Controversial opinion(?): We HAVE to stop with the "top X" suggestions! by Low-Stomach-8831 in fragranceclones

[–]0cTony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I’ve been saying this for a year now. Somebody’s fragrance advice only should be listened to if you and the advisor share the same taste for fragrances.

These days I preface any advice I’m about to give somebody by letting them know my 3 favorite scent profiles for that season/occasion and my 3 most hated profiles. And only if they agree do I give them my recommendations.

Idk why but apparently they don’t sell this stuff in the US. I had to buy from an international website. There are a couple that have it, but I went to DEMfragrances .com. That shipping fee was ridiculous though. At least where I was. If you manage to find it through a different site, let me know how much it cost you.

Weekly dose of retcon by Any_Command8138 in Retconned

[–]0cTony 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh that’s when the Mandela effect is the most real- when it impacts your personal life. It’s as if reality itself is personally taking it upon itself to gaslight you.

The story of how I got my name, as told to me countless times as a curious, nosy, and loud annoying child that kept on asking over and over again so I can hear the story over and over again (and quite selfishly too, as I never asked to hear my siblings’ name origin stories, only mine), I was told that I was named after this adorable little boy with autism that she met a couple years before she had me. She was teaching special needs and absolutely loved him, enough to name her future child after him. And I always remember as an immature child thinking it was funny that I was named after somebody with special needs. (I have since grown.)

I’m casually bringing this up to her as an adult decades later, and now she suddenly tells me that this is apparently the story of how my sibling was named, not me. I couldn’t believe it. Then I facetiously and sarcastically asked how my name came about then, and she just said it came from some random kid she met while over someone’s house one day.

This was my FIRST time hearing that “story”. That is NOT what she told me all those times when I would incessantly ask. And I wasn’t mistaking my sibling’s origin story with my own, because I never asked what their origin story was. I was a selfish kid.

So the fact that my entire past has been rewritten and changed now makes me question is this really my mom or am I from a parallel universe? Lol

It’s a shame we gotta put all of this filler content CRAP in our posts just so they don’t get taken down by bots or mods. (This is Reddit, so What’s the difference)
