  • I check cover and blurb, maybe see if there are other books by the author, and give it a chance.

    1000 reviews? Nah. I like to read new authors with fresh ideas.

  • Good. Now someone book a flight for Putler.

  • The moment your elderly mom has a stroke on the toilet, you'll look back at all the times you got the door in your face and be grateful. What a tiny price to pay for the life of your mother.

  • CCP propaganda. You also outed yourself as a Wumao by calling it CPC.

    Nice try. Not quite up to the task.

  • You might have spent a bit too much time on lemmygrad.

  • Toilet doors should face outward, so you can save someone who's in distress inside.

  • More like he looked soft, like geriatric skin wobbling around the fat tissue of his neck.

  • I've been on sh.itjust.works since day one of my Lemmy existence, because shit just works.

    It also doesn't overdo it with defeds (beehaw) and isn't run by tankies (lemmy.ml) or nazis (exploding-heads).

  • Depending on your physical strength, you'll stop feeling hungry after 2-3 days. You'll start to give off a body odor at around day 4, when you're in full ketosis. After a week, you stop losing much water, mostly body fat. If you continue this regimen for more than 4 days, you'll suffer refeeding syndrome If you break the fast with normal food, which can have severe consequences, so you better educate yourself before you try it.

    All in all though, people fasted for weeks thousands of years ago, and you'll be under supervision (unless you're crazy), so you'll be just fine.

  • I have GPT plus and couldn't be happier. Whether you're interested in AI greatly depends on what you need it for.

  • People have been fasting for way longer than a week without starving. Starvation doesn't happen voluntarily, and it doesn't happen under the eyes of a doctor.

    If your choices are living with the consequences of obesity and a week of controlled ketosis, it's on you to decide which way to take.

    Comparing a one week fast with starvation seems hyperbolic, to say the least.

  • Still, farting in public is not "I'm aware strangers don't care about me anyway". It's "I don't care about strangers". I'm in my late-40s and would like to think I have manners.

  • Thanks for the gold, kind stranger.

  • If you work with a doctor, it's no big deal.

  • Gonna check this out on my way home. I did a few water fasts, too, and am interested in your experience.
