If I told you that I had ten percent guaranteed return on an investment you’d want in too.

I agree that if you’re vegan, blocking this community is the right thing to do, in the same way I block every meme community on the fediverse. It likely doesn’t have any practical value, although the science will probably still be of interest.

The meat industry is well known to be bad for the environment simply due to its scale.

No disagreement from me here. But is it not also true that monoculture is bad for the environment? I don’t wish to do any whataboutism but I think the problem is industrial agriculture.

Animal cruelty

Again, no disagreement from me here. I do my best to avoid meat from industrial agriculture and always buy from local farmers when possible.

Carnivore diets have been studied and shown to increase the risk of several diseases.

Could I trouble you to provide the studies so I can further read up on the topic? As a somewhat-counterpoint, nutrients are more highly bio-available from (preferably non-grain-fed) animal sources, and traditional diets exist that are primarily meat-based.

I think also that veganism for the sake of personal health has the exact same goals as carnivore, but due to dogma all discussion of animal nutrients will be downvoted on existing communities especially considering how they are even downvoted here. If your aim isn’t the tyranny of the masses, then carnivore should have its own community.

People don’t go out at 3am to find a steak, but they do that for sugar.

This really bears repeating. It’s impossible to binge eat a steak, but once I start on a pack of Oreos I’ll eat the entire thing.

Could you further elaborate on what you find outrageous about this community?

Did Synology forget what the I in RAID is?

no take only throw

You’ll learn nuance one day, friend. Don’t give up and keep reading about things.

My four year old low-end test device running Android had its assistant switched out from Google Assistant to Gemini. I was very surprised since I’d assumed that the vendor had stopped supporting it since it was so cheap, but it updated anyway.

Why are you being downvoted for this? In stock devices the user has no way to even start looking at what is being run. All you can do is trust the manufacturer.

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.

Artificial sugar still causes an insulin response. Better stick with the vinegared lead.

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.

• Stay Off My Operating Table, Philip Ovadia, MD
• Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back, Cate Shanahan, MD
• The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss, Jason Fung, MD

Books about the perils of ultraprocessed food:

• Ultra-Processed People: Why We Can’t Stop Eating Food That Isn’t Food, Chris van Tulleken
• Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine Robert H. Lustig, MD, MSL

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

• The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet, Nina Teicholz

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!
