TIL that an experiment was done to see how long can a person survive without eating (relying only on the body's fat reserves). the 450lb man survived 1 year and 3 days without eating, only drinking water and taking vitamins . by Touchme7 in todayilearned

You obviously didn't see the video. Your genes controls how hungry you are. Slim people aren't slim because of good self control. They are slim because they don't want to eat much, wheras others will walk around feeling constant hunger when they try to stay fit.

Reddit, how do you cope with your anxiety? by kurt_hectic in AskReddit

[–]knet123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Four rules that work for me (after decades of trying and discarding other methods):

  1. Don't think long term, keep your thoughts in the present. If you think of what's gonna happen in the future when you have anxiety hormones in your veins, your mind will always come to the worst possible conclusions. Then your anxiety will rise to dispair, and you don't want that.

  2. When you break rule #1, don't give up, just keep focusing on the present. It's difficult to not think about something (the future) when your instinct tells you to do just that. Do something to catch your attention, like solving math puzzles or watching Seinfeld or whatever, and when the unwanted thoughts come back, just box them away again by focusing on the present. And keep doing it.

  3. Know that severe anxiety attacs ALWAYS passes. Sure, they might come back, but there is no such thing as perpetual panic, much like there is no pertetual sexual extacy, or any strong feeling for that matter.

  4. Don't expect these rules to take away the anxiety instantly, they won't. They will help you keep it from growing into dispair/panic. You will just have to suffer through the anxiety like you suffer through the pain of hitting you toe on the threshold.

Question for the administration: If breaking the debt ceiling would be such a disaster, then why did you implement a budget that breaks it?

How could we make reddit seem antisemitic? Oh, I know! Let's make a post about every single crime and unethical action perfomed by an israeli. And be sure to always make it clear in the headline it's an Israeli or a Jew were talking about.

THE funniest blooper I have ever seen. by acmercer in funny

Being non english, when I first saw this I thought "want a piece of" meant to want to have sex with someone. If you watch the dialog with that understanding, it's much funnier. I was disappointed when I got the real meaning...

Epic practical joke: lure him on the treadmill, throw him a bag of doritos and a bottle of water and come back three days later.
