They are TOO good

I love to bake and I love baked goods. Thankfully, I'm not highly food motivated, but I cannot walk past a croissant and not want one. Even thinking about one now gives me a familiar pang, but I can recognize that for what it is now.

I've not measured my sauna endurance, and did not realize that being in good metabolic health would improve that. I'll see how long I last next time I'm in a sauna!

Thank you for sharing, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that feels like this sometimes. I have a breath ketone meter that helps keep me on track; I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's very consistent. If you haven't tried one maybe give it a go, mine wasn't too expensive. I used to wear a continuous glucose monitor, but that's more expensive and a lot more work.

Like a degenerate I kept putting food into my delivery app, looking at it, looking at different options

This is an oddly specific shared experience but I know how this feels too. It's sad that our gig economy tech is enabling our compulsions for food that has been deliberately engineered to make us want more of it at all times.

Some cheese on top of that and you have a feast.

I've failed at getting into any Battle Royale, Survival, or Extraction type game so far.

That's because in many cases it often doesn't and can even lead to a worse life depending on your priorities.

As part of the industrialized lifestyles, could it be the consumption of industrialized foods? Our bodies likely cannot deal with the externalities of industrial farming. Ultraprocessed foods such as industrially refined oils are entirely novel.

It doesn't seem like such a stretch that human bodies then respond with inflammation to try to remove the unfamiliar, to me.

Books related to the ketogenic diet and metabolic health. These aren't strictly carnivore, so please let me know if this is off-topic and I'll remove the post.

Books about the perils of ultraprocessed food:

Historical context on the low-fat, high-carb diet:

Having said that, reading these books are a large part of why I've come to eat a ketogenic diet that's mostly meat and vegetables.

Not sure why you're being downvoted for providing good advice about avoiding media bias.

That's not a great place for a compressor, direct exposure to the weather means they are unable to exchange heat as efficiently. Why'd they put it up there?

Everyone who lives here plays video games all day and our healthcare isn't even completely free, the burden is just shared by nationalization. Video games are such a menace to society!

Can't pick just one so here're a couple.

"Crypto" used in the context of cryptocurrrencies. "AI", referring only to LLMs. "Research", referring to an indeterminate amount of reading up on the topic at hand, such as in the phrase "do your own research" that's being bandied around in some communities.
