The uniquely US problem is poor people having terrible diets, but lack of fibre for non-poor people is a thing all over the world aside from maybe like, japan..

i've personally benefitted greatly from just opting for whole-grain versions of things like pasta, much better poops now.

the good thing is that the right kind of hard work (meaning hard social labour, not physical) can create social safety nets!

this makes me want to see an elecromancer and aeromancer carrying around bags of flour and sawdust to fucking annihilate entire buildings with a single spark, while everyone thinks it's some grand pyromancer summoning hellfire

eat the ground

i've been chugging DNA juice for 10 years and i'm just about to evolve

fiber is so strange because it's function is basically just to pass through you, and yet it's so vital for the digestive system to function properly

everyone keeps saying "oh dietary supplements are just pissing away money" but fibre supplements are the one supplement most people would benefit hugely from taking, just get some psyllium husk or whatever and enter toilet nirvana

i'd say it's totally logical to be 100% convinced that you can't be convinced of god's existence or non-existence

Hydrol sounds like bottled water you'd buy at the pharmacy

i'm sure there's at least one ant-mimicking spider that has turned their front legs into extra quasi-pedipalps to blend in better, getting rid of limbs is super easy in evolution (that's where antennae and the existing pedipalps come from, and spinnerets too i presume)

so wait are we just walking terrestrial lobsters? and.. gorillas are primate crabs maybe?

fun fact: aphids are born pregnant (or at least they can be)

squeezes your buttcheek yeah they're human, carry on

imagine if a species of lemur evolved to broadly look like us, but still with lemur faces and stuff

that's basically what's happening for ants, terrifying

i think it's instinctive to go "OH FUCK" when something of sufficient size skitters about, but not instinctive to specifically hate spiders

and it doesn't matter what the skittery thing is, if a mouse scurries across my floor i'm gonna get spooked too, and i think mice are cute!

"ohoho no! these aren't legs, they're pedipalps! mmm, pedipalps to help me eat!"

i mean if you try to inhale and drink at the same time i think cancer is a distant worry

this is true if you sensibly agree that "wasp" is a generic term and not hornets specifically, bees and ants are "wasps" but they are not hornets.

i have never seen anyone use screens in sweden, it's like how AC is kind of a luxury thing in northern europe, we just sit around all summer whinging about the heat

i'm going to dip my balls in liquid morkite

i believe that's called alcoholism
