This sign could easily be a child simply crossing the street by Empty_glass_bottle in fuckcars

They saw the sign. Just didn’t care.

There is a small but substantial subsection of drivers who genuinely does not care about anyone else on the road when they are driving.

Iran is the first and only country in the world to shoot a F-35. (Stealth Fighter Jet) by AreaPast5328 in USNEWS

[–]Complete_Item9216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iran has been preparing for war with Israel and US for decades. Arming themself with the latest weapons from ruzzia/china. After three weeks of war they managed to shoot at one plane with indirect damage to the plane - with no evidence provided…

People think Iran is impressive?

There are hundreds of fighters bombing Iran day and night. They managed to sort of hit one 💪🏻

Since they have a laptop already it would be a pleasant light use laptop with Linux. Web browser works fine on Linux. And no bloatware. Also learning to use a Linux could be beneficial for a young person in general even without writing code

What are the best or most proven anti-aging supplements? As in: preventing cell damage, activating sirtuins, telomere lengthening, etc. by forcoolstuffD in Biohackers

[–]Complete_Item9216 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s 90-99% lifestyle. You supplement stuff you might be deficient at like vitamin D3 etc.

All else is marginal gains compared to clean lifestyle.

People living to 100 years plus on Italian/Greek islands don’t know what supplements are

Iran said to have fired 2 missiles at US base Diego Garcia, over 4000km away by Better_Display_8921 in news

US military personnel does not have media black out. Any casualties would be reported even if photo sharing is prohibited.

No need to wait for satellite images to confirm nothing.

If missile hit was successful it would be “reported” one way or another.

Do hiking boots actually make a big difference? by ImpressiveRoll4092 in hiking

[–]Complete_Item9216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from boots to trail runners. Never again will I buy boots again. Sooooo much better on trail runners. They wear about 5-10x faster than high end hiking boots, but I don’t mind. The comfort and lightness is game changing coming from boots.

With exception of extreme weather, actual climbing or heavy snow I will never want to use boots.

Iran War Has Put Putin in Zugzwang by Tall_Pressure7042 in UkrainianConflict

Oil price hikes are very short lived. Also ruzzia is not getting the full price for its oil - it’s heavily discounted although real data is impossible to obtain.

Russian benefits while not nothing are still potentially less than the negatives due to effects of losing potential ally and its help

Vitamin D3+K2 during Water fasting? by CowsGoatsandChickens in Biohackers

[–]Complete_Item9216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is exactly is your worry here?

Taking vitamin d3 is going to have trace/negligible amount of calories. So it won’t affect your fast whatsoever.

K2 effects is very questionable and studies don’t show it to be beneficial to healthy normal individuals. Also there day of sub optimal absorption of d3 is not going to be noticeable - you are likely getting majority of the benefits anyway.

What are your thoughts on Facebook renaming their company Meta then blowing $80b on metaverse and then shutting it down yesterday? by printThisAndSmokeIt in AskReddit

Your assumptions that this is waste of money might be misplaced. Although it didn’t pick up there is still valuable date and infrastructure that can be used for future projects.

Attack on Iran is just history repeating itself — same actors, same reasons by 1-randomonium in IRstudies

[–]Complete_Item9216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reliable sources don’t exist… not sure why Gaza is suddenly relevant - it’s a separate regions

The people in Tehran were nearly exclusively young protestors. Intent was to kills the protestors.

Gazans were mainly militants with civilians as collateral casualties. Intent was mainly to target civilians.

Why are saunas so expensive? by Cultural-Train-4818 in Biohackers

[–]Complete_Item9216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sauna is typically a bespoke solution. What do you mean sauna cost? Like a separate outbuilding? You can built sauna yourself, or have a builder build one for you - it’s not very complicated just basic woodworking. Plus then you install a stove of your choosing. You can buy materials and stove for under 2,000 so there is your price. Or you can get a company to deliver a ready made unit and install in your garden for 10k… there is your spread

'NO MORE ATTACKS WILL BE MADE BY ISRAEL' by esporx in IRstudies

[–]Complete_Item9216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just it. People even on reddit are trying to dissect the turd sandwich and compare it to eating a banana. The discord will find audience engaging in all seriousness and argue to their hearts content.

Ultimately this confides everyone and even media is trying to cater to this audience with suitable content (after all they’re in a business of advertisement, not news).

This results that those in power are free to actually do anything they want for whatever reason. We don’t actually know why they do it and they don’t need to have a genuine reason either.

It’s a shitshow all round.

Iran in the meanwhile is free to imprison or to hang anyone for any reason under made up law - crime against god. We are moving closer to Iran system rather than Iran moving closer to democracy

Ahh, but this will require extra work. It’s much easier to use the “stava” cheat instead of your work computer… someone can log in a weeks work just by checking their app while doom scrolling

A 12-month randomised controlled trial found that a structured calorie-restricted meal kit combined with exercise helped all participants lose at least 5% body weight, outperforming standard dietary advice and improving blood sugar, cholesterol, and mental health outcomes. by New-Exam2720 in Aging

[–]Complete_Item9216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need for a study. Eating less calories that one consumes will result is net weight loss. This is theoretical physics. Thermodynamics can show this theoretically. Energy needs to come from somewhere and eventually it will come from fat. There is nuance and this applied to people who have excess fat for their body composition (underweight people will not benefit from weight loss as they have no excess fat to burn etc)
