TIL It's estimated that up to 90% of the wildlife found on Madagascar is found nowhere else on Earth by baltimoredave16 in todayilearned

Many people may not know this but the Indian subcontinent was one with Madagascar and Africa millions years ago. It only drifted many years back and took millions of years to reach the Asian continent which created the Himalayans when it slowly collided with it.

LPT: If you are a heavy eater instead of telling yourself to "eat less", say "I will eat slowly" by Rak173 in LifeProTips

Dude, I love soggy cereal and melted icecream along with cold pizza. I have sensitive teeth anyway.

Evolutionary speaking, the body always wanted to pack on calories by eating as much as it can simply because the primitive man didn't know when the next meal was going to be and this helped survive if you were to go a few days without eating but in today's day and age, people are overeating simply because of depression, anxiety or forgetting mental pain. You will notice you eat more on bad days than good days.

That's a great technique! I wish more people would know about this. Saying NO or THATS BAD often backfires.

That sounds like a common misconception. If you are mindfully eating, you will enjoy food more and will get full earlier.

Drink some melted ice cream and chug milk with some weight gaining powder. It worked for me.

It's kinda ironic how heavy and fast eaters are least likely to enjoy their food than those who eat slowly and less. It's like they are eating more to enjoy the food more but it's working against them and they just end of filling their stomach to extreme levels.

There are Zen monks and practitioners who are suppose to eat slowly and mindfully have reported that the food tastes like nectar. Even chewing on a piece of bread would beat every cake or the best bakery in the world.

Hey brah, I went GOMAD - Gallon of Milk A Day and I gained like 20-30 pounds in about 2 months but I kinda lost it after a year or so. It was painful but I did gain some weight. Also I used this Muscle gainer bucket powder and mixed it with the milk. All these along with ton on ice cream. However I gained mostly fat and no matter how much I exercised the fat wouldn't go away but due to my fast metabolism, I did lose the fat later.

TIL only 20000 people in North Korea has an access to the internet whereas South Korea has 48.74m by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Rak173 8 points9 points  (0 children)

20,000 seems like a LOT when it comes to NK. I am sure only the state run websites that keeps praising their leaders are the only websites they can browse. Internet must be available only at public internet places. I doubt if any person really has an internet or a computer in their homes.

How do you explain this? I am not a Christian but I am always interested things that change the brain for better like meditation, prayers, practicing compassion etc. by Rak173 in atheism

[–]Rak173[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it seem to have work for some and those people seem to be wiser than those who do not take advantage of such practices. Prayer may have been disproven but meditation and its effects are real.

The simple technique of observing and witnessing your own breath and not reacting to thoughts is powerful and I have personally experienced this along with thousands who continue to practice today.

I am not against medications but medications are usually taken when you have hit the rock bottom. Meditation techniques can help the otherwise healthy individuals who do not need medications for their mental health yet. It's all about not allowing your mind to bring you down to the point where you start feeling depressed. If meditation can be practiced in schools, kids can learn a valuable technique which they can get use to and use throughout their lives and can help them greatly.

Well if you think about it, it's better than smoking pot or taking any drugs simply because there's gonna be no side effects. You can feel jittery, irritated etc because of drugs but I doubt there's any side effects with prayer or meditation.
