  • So, sure, you may not currently know the procedure. But you could easily boil an egg if you had 60s to google it first.

    Some people wouldn’t be able to figure it out. Stupidity isn’t really accurate though in my experience, I think it’s more being overwhelmed and sometimes just having an aversion in general to change and learning. People can often have really bad experiences early in life (ironically, at the hands of people like OP who categorize them as morons for their honest ignorance) that set them up to want to never leave their comfort zone, which is itself again seen as “stupid” by the same people, thus perpetuating the cycle forever.


  • What’s the calorie need differential between an ectomorph and an endomorph?

    None. Somatotypes are a pseudoscience and have been completely debunked.

    What role does hormone and thyroid play?

    The difference between the “fastest” and “slowest” metabolism in healthy people of the same weight is at most 300kcal per day, which is significant, but couldn’t account for a missing ~3k surplus per day

    There are however several conditions which cause the body to simply not to process food (malabsorption is the term to look up), which is what must have been happening to you.

    It’s very common for people to misestimate their calories by massive amounts, which is why people are expressing doubts, but what you’re describing is a real thing that happens






  • I quit smoking via vaping a few years ago. Idk how easy it is now, I know some laws have been passed regarding the availability of different juices.

    But essentially it just gives you more control. You can gradually step down your nicotine content over the course of like a year or more if you want. At the end I had a bottle of 3mg/ml and a bottle of 0, and I would mix them to get even smaller amounts. Eventually you’re just not using nicotine anymore.

    For some people tho it goes the other way. Lots of times it ends up being the case that nicotine consumption goes way up, or people end up vaping + still smoking anyway. Which is…pretty bad lol

    So yeah vaping can be a very convenient way to quit. It worked for me. But there’s a reason doctors don’t recommend it
