I prefer to lean friendly & understanding, yet as someone dealing with a terminal disease, I'll admit that irritability can happen fast. Eh, nous faisons ce que nous pouvons. 🙄

  • He's so slow

  • Hah! That's cool, and reminds me of a David Bowie / Jim Henson film called "Labyrinth," which I suppose would be kind of an oldie for today's audience.

  • He's so slow

    Jump

  • I'm always kind of amazed (and a bit nervous) when I see a comic that seems either inscrutable or a straight "nothing-burger," and yet lots of people have upvoted it, seemingly out of enjoyment.

    I get the 'tree = slow' idea, but is the other idea here that the cook is... a total stoner? Is that it? I also vaguely see a Rastafarian hair-style, if that plays in to it...

  • Fair enough the moment takes us all sometimes.

    Not just the moment, but the motivation to get the core of a point across to a casual audience with a brevity of verbiage.

    Not quite - these are FFQs applied to the general populations so protein is really around 15%. There is considerable debate in the literature if these findings are clinically meaningful.

    What is your relevant background in such matters, if I may ask?

  • pure-carnivore (zero carb) diet

    Right, I got a little carried away with the 'pure' angle, but I do recall seeing many abstracts / summaries of studies for quite a few years that found that diets heavy on meat indeed seem to correlate to increased cancer & CVD incidents.

    Shouldn't be too surprising based on studies of the GI systems of numerous herbivores vs. numerous Carnivorans, either. Extra-long GI vs. very short one depending on diet. Ours certainly seems to be a middle-ground, omnivore-type GI. AFAIK only rarely do we find from archeology & anthropology evidence that humans ate very-high meat diets, such as Innuit peoples for example.

  • Probably not.Even if it does rugs and upholstery both, they just don't get that dirty, normally. Almost all light stains I can get out with a careful application of soap & water and judicious toweling. Plus there's always rentals if needed.

  • Not sure what that Apple hostility is about. Those 2-series machines were a blast, with loads of great software & hardware available for them.

    From what I've seen, IBM's took some time to match all that, and IIRC were pricey as hell, to boot.

  • We learned FORTRAN on punch cards that we would send off to the regional office for them to run.

    Hah, I must have just caught the tail end of that course in HS. Except, maybe midway through the term, they installed a modem that a telephone handset could be placed in to, such that we could run programs remotely on a mainframe.

    @anonymous_leaker@lemmy.world,

    do you miss these days?

    Actually I remember earlier screensavers those were based on; I believe add-ons like "Flying Toasters" for Mac & PC. Trust Bill Gates' ripoff crew to make a less-robust version, as always.

  • To add on to that, most modern livestock live absolutely miserable lives.

    I was going to add a separate comment, but in the interests of brevity, I think I'll just put it here:

    I find that in order to answer questions like OP's, it's helpful to remember who we are and how we lived for the ~2.5Myrs total of humanity's (i.e. genus Homo) existence. So in terms of our diet, we've been opportunistic omnivores (heavy on plants) for the vast majority of that time, much like our fellow apes. It's a completely sustainable way of living, and our bodies are perfectly engineered for that.

    At the other end of the spectrum would be a pure carnivore diet, which science studies consistently find to cause increased cardiovascular disease and cancer rates. On top of all the enormous waste, expenditure, and utter cruelty towards livestock.

    Point is-- if you consider all that, I think you can find some pretty decisive answers about the "morality" of one's diet.

  • TIL cheese is fundamentally just fat, protein...

    Jump

  • Fundamentally, cheese is a concentrated source of fat and protein

    Yes, but the dairy version has a considerable number of vitamins and minerals, and offers a range of health benefits as I understand it, such as promoting bone & muscle health, cardiovascular health, gut health, glucose control and it's even good for teeth, I think (probably due to the low amount of carbs).

    Btw, great thread topic and replies, here. This is such as amazingly anti-Reddit kind of thread, lol.

  • TIL cheese is fundamentally just fat, protein...

    Jump

  • TBF, cashew-based cheese is evidently unusually tasty. I tried making it once, and somewhere in the middle, after a couple samples, I just went animalistic and devoured the whole prepped base.

    OTOH, I've tried around half-a-dozen imitation dairy cheeses over the years, and pretty-much every single one has been absolutely foul.

  • TIL during the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Usain Bolt ate almost nothing but chicken McNuggets. He went on to win 3 gold medals and set 3 world records.

  • Mssr Donald D, dunno how to tell you this,but junk food is not the answer.

    But mate, we can start by eliminating the Ore-Ida nuggets, hey?(voice of Jim Jefferies)

  • Is there a way to geht honest feedback on how you behave?

    Jump

  • Sure there are. But once you rule out the obvious gits, you start to reach the loam, as it were...

    In fact it was a shorthand quote, like almost all quotes. One often has to fill in context to catch the meaning.

  • Is there a way to geht honest feedback on how you behave?

    Jump

  • There's a quote I like about how you can tell someone's your friend because they're willing to stab you in the front. Unlike, you know, the other way...

    I'll have to see if I can find that quote-image I have and share it to !quotes@quokk.au, sometime. That's the only semi-active quotes community across the known Fediverse, and yet is still on life support of sorts. :S

  • Itchy Ichabod [Super-Fun-Pak Comix]

    Jump

  • I think it works when you consider two things-- 1) that this is a 'throwaway side-project' for Bolling, whose juggernaut of course is Tom the Dancing Bug, and 2) that like Heathcliff and various others, it's an intentional subversion of the 'classic comics format,' and regularly experiments with ways in which to unfold panels & mine humor.
