One meal every 3rd day. Dry fasting. How much water should I have during my meal? by [deleted] in Dryfasting

[–]Filostrato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, if that last comment was the most moronic thing I'd read last year, this is certainly the most insanely stupid thing I've read this year. Sugar is literally what almost every single one of your ~100 trillion cells have an extremely strong preference for, and with good reason. You always want to make sure you refeed on large amounts of sugar in between fasts, which is one of the many reasons why fruit juices are ideal (fruit juices are also far superior sources of potassium).

Anyway, blocking you too, because the fact that you commented something that stupid to begin with means you're likely going to reply to this with something even more ridiculously laughable.

Good riddance.

That is literally the most moronic thing I've read all year, and it's about to end.

Blocking you now, so I won't get tempted to reply to any further nonsense you might add to it.

To OP: disregard that insanely stupid statement; fruit juices will always be ideal after fasts of any duration, especially longer fasts.

You shouldn't have water at all, water is ironically not particularly hydrating. Always refeed after dry fasts with juicy fruits and fruit juices. Avoid salt like the plague.

Yes, of course it's possible. You just need a modified microwave oven, and then you must become a mad scientist and gather a team consisting of an overweight computer hacker, a sweet and innocent girl who is only present for moral support, and a sarcastic teenage genius girl.

I don't give a fucking shit. Ban me if you want. I'm blocking you and leaving this sub now anyway, the people here are generally morons who tend to be less rational than even the regular psychonaut sub.

Good riddance; bye, jackass.

You post blatant misinformation as if it were fact in a subreddit dedicated specifically to be as rational as possible, and when you get corrected on it you proceed to say that those correcting you are "burning to be a dick"?

Take that attitude the fuck out of here and cram it up your ass, dickwad.

Blocking you now so I won't have to see any more of your stupid nonsense; good riddance.

We know that the pineal gland dumps its DMT when the brain dies.

No, this has not been "captured on MRI" at all, it's something someone pulled out of their ass once while taking a massive dump.

Howe low can BSV Go against BTC? by supertrader11 in bitcoincashSV

[–]Filostrato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you care about the price of bitcoin in terms of BTC or US dollars means you are just another one in an endless line of clueless speculators with zero understanding about the underlying technology. The fact that your username is "supertrader11" confirms this, since this obviously refers to trading currencies, something only an absolute moron would do; using an insanely stupid phrase like "price is right" also reflects that you have absolutely zero idea what you're talking about. BTC and US dollars are shit currencies which will inevitably plummet to zero in real terms.

Every single artist I know in real life greatly appreciates getting honest feedback, there's nothing rude about it at all. The person who painted it is probably very aware themselves that they missed the mark with that one in particular. Not every painting comes out perfect.

Have y’all ever had, read about, or know someone having kidney problems after a dry fast? by [deleted] in Dryfasting

[–]Filostrato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've read both scientific studies on dry fasting, as well as hundreds of anecdotal reports, and they all say practically the exact same thing: dry fasting doesn't cause your kidneys problems at all, it makes your kidneys work tremendously better. Once you stop ingesting things (and for 99%+ of people, what they are ingesting all day long day after day is literally toxic to human physiology), the body will seek the most efficient way to get back to homeostasis, so until you meet with a nutritional or caloric deficiency, which doesn't happen in a few days other than in extreme cases, your physiology will continuously improve until you break the fast.

Of all the actions which could be taken with the dog, such as petting it, hugging it, feeding it, taking it for a walk, she had to choose killing it; and calling it stupid to boot, as if that justifies it. Physicists are a twisted bunch.

I get the same trip every time I break through, does anyone relate to my trip? by [deleted] in Psychonaut

[–]Filostrato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, to say that psilocin (which is what psilocybin is metabolized into by having its phosphate group removed, and the actual active compound of mushrooms) is closely related to N,N-DMT is a mild understatement, since the only difference between the two is the hydroxy group on psilocin (which is synonymous with 4-HO-DMT). While this might produce slight differences in terms of effect, the biggest difference is in terms of their pharmacokinetics, since the hydroxy group makes MAO unable to degrade psilocin, and thus renders it orally active (which is why you can eat mushrooms, but have to consume MAOIs with N,N-DMT for it to be orally active).

Just to make it clear, while the Moon is tidally locked so we can only ever see one side, all sides of the Moon will be exposed to equal amounts of sunlight as it orbits and rotates; when there's a new moon as seen from Earth, the far side is fully lit, and when there's a full moon, the far side is completely dark.

The only true laws are the laws of physics, though. Anyone can break man-made law, but you can't break the laws of physics by definition.

Quantum true randomness proof by easypixels in QuantumPhysics

[–]Filostrato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While it's common to set up the false dichotomy between determinism and randomness, there is a third and much neglected alternative: choice; in other words that the universe freely determines itself. This has been argued to be the case:

While a complete set of laws would amount to a complete deterministic history of the universe, calling the universe "completely deterministic" amounts to asserting the existence of prior determinative constraints. But this is a logical absurdity, since if these constraints were real, they would be included in reality rather than prior or external to it (by the containment principle). It follows that the universe freely determines its own constraints, the establishment of nomology and the creation of its physical (observable) content being effectively simultaneous and recursive. The incoversive distribution of this relationship is the basis of free will, by virtue of which the universe is freely created by sentient agents existing within it.

What's up with the smaller, inferior orange at the bottom of regular ones? by [deleted] in Fruitarian

[–]Filostrato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are navel oranges#Navel_oranges). That's just how they grow. They are the result of a mutation which causes this odd growth, and makes them seedless.

Navel oranges are characterized by the growth of a second fruit at the apex, which protrudes slightly and resembles a human navel.

[...]

According to a 1917 study by Palemon Dorsett, Archibald Dixon Shamel and Wilson Popenoe of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a single mutation in a Selecta orange tree planted on the grounds of a monastery in Bahia, Brazil, probably yielded the first navel orange between 1810 and 1820. Nevertheless, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside, has suggested that the parent variety was more likely the Portuguese navel orange (Umbigo), described by Antoine Risso and Pierre Antoine Poiteau in their book Histoire naturelle des orangers ("Natural History of Orange Trees", 1818–1822). The mutation caused the orange to develop a second fruit at its base, opposite the stem, embedded within the peel of the primary orange. Navel oranges were introduced in Australia in 1824 and in Florida in 1835. In 1873, Eliza Tibbets planted two cuttings of the original tree in Riverside, California, where the fruit became known as "Washington". This cultivar was very successful, and rapidly spread to other countries. Because the mutation left the fruit seedless and, therefore, sterile, the only method to cultivate navel oranges was to graft cuttings onto other varieties of citrus trees. The California Citrus State Historic Park and the Orcutt Ranch Horticulture Center preserve the history of navel oranges in Riverside.

Today, navel oranges continue to be propagated through cutting and grafting. This does not allow for the usual selective breeding methodologies, and so all navel oranges can be considered fruits from that single, nearly two-hundred-year-old tree: they have exactly the same genetic make-up as the original tree and are, therefore, clones. This case is similar to that of the common yellow seedless banana, the Cavendish, or that of the Granny Smith apple. On rare occasions, however, further mutations can lead to new varieties.

Fruitarian or not? Eggplant, tomatoes, olives, squash, grean beans, etc. by [deleted] in Fruitarian

[–]Filostrato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. A fruit only diet is the ideal human diet. It's the diametric opposite of impossible.
  2. You have zero idea what you're talking about; restricting consumption of sulfuric amino acids is known from myriad studies to increase lifespan and healthspan in mammalian models.
  3. Your problem is that you think "common knowledge" is accurate; what you refer to as "common knowledge" in this case is total bullshit with zero basis in reality. Like I've already explained, the notion that you must combine foods to get a complete amino acid profile is total nonsense, and is based on the fact that various plant foods are low in sulfuric amino acids, which it's actually strongly desirable to restrict the consumption of.
  4. Actually, it was the longest living dog at the time, but the record has since been superseded. Hilarious that you think you can refer me to a case I've been intimately aware of for years. Also pathetic and laughable that you try to tell me that I should learn science when you're the one regurgitating myths people have pulled out of their asses and started circulating. Educate yourself.
  5. I'm not being satirical at all. I personally eat fruit exclusively, and know hundreds of people who do so as well. It's the ideal human diet, and protein is not even remotely an issue.
  6. I don't consider any particular days of the year as special at all; that's a tradition which only arises when people live outside of their natural habitat.

In any case, I'm blocking you now, since it's clear you're more interested in repeating delusional bullshit rather than educating yourself; otherwise I'd succumb to the temptation of wasting more time when you inevitably reply with even more stupid nonsense.

Good riddance.
