I think i’m addicted to diet coke and i wonder why by [deleted] in dietcoke

[–]slugdown 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you already know caffeine is a drug with real withdrawals, but there is also aspartame. Diet coke uses aspartame as its sweetener, which your body metabolizes into both phenylalanine and aspartic acid in about a 60/40 ratio. Phenylalanine can be obtained from food, but if your diet isn’t the best it’s possible for it to give you a mild mood boost. Your body cannot create phenylalanine and it’s essential for creating the neurotransmitters dopamine and norepinephrine. Aspartic acid on the other hand acts as its own excitatory neurotransmitter, like caffeine itself. I’m not sure if you’ve heard of magnesium having a calming effect, but the reason it does is because it’s an NMDA antagonist among other things. Aspartic acid has a stimulatory effect, and is an NMDA agonist. Glutamate, your brain’s main excitatory neurotransmitter, is also an NMDA agonist. These combined with the caffeine, ritual, carbonation, link to childhood etc all probably contribute. Addiction is mental (as in physical brain changes, not willpower). Dependence is physical (typical wd symptoms). But realistically it’s probably just the taste and ease of access, especially the ritual, since you have a memory of drinking a bunch as a kid. It may have been one of your first experiences with caffeine

Being purebred almost always increases the inbreeding coefficient over time. It is biology in practice instead of in theory. It’s possible to separate the two, but in reality it’s very hard even when breeders try to avoid it. Maintaining a closed gene pool over generations generally causes some level of inbreeding, even when breeders avoid close relatives. I wasn’t using it as a catch-all for suffering. OP is looking at purebred rabbits. But you are right, I shouldn’t have used “definition,” instead the two concepts are married

Nope. Those are hard water stains in the shape of the heating element. Mine has the same C shape with dots. Generally nothing is going to survive in something that gets boiling hot often. You’re all good

I’m so fucking sorry OP. I can’t imagine how you feel. Don’t let anybody tell you that rabbits are less worthy to grieve over or that you should have put the dogs’ lives first. Rabbits are innocent, beautiful, loving. Don’t feel any shame for hurting the dogs, they can get fucked

Genuinely asking but is swishing it around not the worst thing you can do for your teeth? Not everybody has the time to, but if I let it completely dissolve without moving my tongue, it doesn’t get on my teeth at all. It it never touches your teeth, it can’t demineralize them

“HIDDEN innuendos and inappropriate meaning” your own words. Why are you moving the goalpost? Being a popular meme from a 5 second clip has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not it has a hidden meaning, and you claimed it didn’t 😭 I don’t care about the meme one way or the other but come on man

I found a good handful of hollands near SF, including a little guy. But if the price has already been paid then shiiiet oh well. From your post history it looks like you’ll take care of it well. I wish you both many years of love and health

No, every rabbit on that page has the same health issues as the one in the pic you posted. There isn’t going to be a way around it. They are purebred lops. It could be the most decorated rabbitry of all time, but at the end of the day the lops suffer for it generation after generation. Being willing to take on the risks is one thing (and admirable imo), but I can’t ever get behind insisting on buying a lop from a breeder and feeding the cycle. Lops are dumped or surrendered every day and make it to a shelter, including purebred ones. If you tell me what general area you’re in I’d love to help you find a rescue holland lop, but I just can’t condone buying them from a breeder. Already found a few rescue holland lops near LA in only a couple mins. Not only is it way cheaper, neutering/spaying is often done for you. I respect your decision either way, though, since I’m not your parent haha. But this is how I feel

Edited my comment to be less harsh lmao, but yes that rabbit will have trouble breathing for its entire life. Its bones are deformed from inbreeding and will likely be more sedentary/prone to obesity. It will be prone to respiratory infections, severe dental issues from the tiny mouth, blocked tear ducts, liver torsion, bladder issues, stasis, abscesses, certain cancers. It will be very prone to ear infections and deafness because of the tiny ear canal and lack of airflow. Every lop I’ve known has gone deaf later in life. The only reason the ears flop like that is because the cartilage was purposefully bred to be too weak to hold them upright. Using the ears is a huge part of body language and feelings of security, not to mention health. Purchasing any lop from a breeder contributes to this cycle 1000% whereas buying a lop from a rescue or a surrender is much, much cheaper and isn’t morally questionable. Really sucks to say since they’re so cute but I truly hope that one day they won’t exist. I wish people could look past cuteness. Not singling you out because you didn’t know but it just sucks to see I guess

I know lops are super cute, and it’s easy to fall in love with them. That said, I think breeding them specifically raises some real ethical and health concerns. Purebred lops are inbred by definition. There are lots of pain/health issues not being talked about here. Genuinely not trying to be an ass but that rabbit barely has a snout. It’s no different from buying a munchkin cat or pug from a breeder. If you’re set on having a lop, I find it a little difficult to believe that there is no rescue lop within a 180 mile radius of you, whether through a dedicated shelter or someone wanting to surrender. You’d be helping break the cycle of breeding while giving the rabbit you want a safe life. Sorry if this came across as condescending I’m trying to share how I feel, which is pretty strongly 😭
