What food do you think is healthy or at least "fortifying" despite lacking any evidence to prove it?

  • Not eating is calorie restriction

    • Boeing offers 35% pay hike over four years to end machinists' strike

    Jump

  • They spent $70 billion in stock buybacks in the last decade. Start there. Just sell the stock.

    • What is a passkey, in practice? Is it a file? A token? Can I keep it in an USB drive? How can I save it in case of device loss?

    Jump

  • Is it any different than public/private ssh keys that I already use? Or just a rebranding?

  • Simply thinking about macronutrient misses the bigger picture.

    Proteins aren't created equal - they're our source of amino acids, nine of which are essential because our bodies can't produce them. Different protein sources have varying amino acid profiles. While quinoa and beef both provide protein, only beef is considered a "complete" protein with all essential amino acids in optimal ratios.

    Fats aren't created equal either, the type of fat matters tremendously. Trans fats have been definitively linked to heart disease and inflammation, while monounsaturated fats like extra virgin olive oil are associated with increased longevity.

    Carbs, guess what? Not all carbohydrates affect your body the same way. Simple sugars and refined starches can spike blood glucose levels, potentially leading to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes over time. In contrast, resistant starches (found in foods like cooled potatoes and green bananas) act more like fiber, supporting gut health and providing steady energy.

    You could be eating the exact same ratio of carbs:fats:proteins and have radically different health outcomes depending on what you are eating.

    And this doesn't even address the vitamins and minerals essential for everything from bone health to immune function.

    The key isn't just the macro numbers - it's the actual foods you're eating.

  • It's funny because calorie restriction is actually the only scientifically proven method to increase longevity across a wide range of organisms, from mammals to simple unicellular organisms like yeast.

    • Does anybody here still wish the Fediverse just had more people?

    Jump

  • I moved to lemmy hoping it would be like classic Reddit, which it is to some extent. Unfortunately, my experience has been more like browsing Imgur – just endless memes and shitposts.

    I tried blocking all the meme-focused communities I could find, but now my feed feels like a ghost town.

    • Google adopts small nuclear power reactors at unprecedented scale — inks deal for seven reactors to feed AI data centers

    Jump

    • Inflation falls to 2.4%, lowest in three years

    Jump

  • If only we could get -2% inflation for a few years so price come down to reasonable levels.

    • What alias do you have to update the system from terminal?

    Jump

  • Using Bluefin (a Fedora atomic distro) and all of that gets done automatically behind the scenes. Flatpaks, distrobox containers, Brew, vocoder extensions, etc...

    All done using topgrade: https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade

    • The US regime just executed another innocent black man.

    Jump

  • Like a book can be judged by one of it's 50 chapters.

    • What is your favorite movie of all time?

    Jump

  • Better to watch the original 4 times in a row.

    • What music do you use for concentration?

    Jump

    • Lebanese girl becomes most notable victim of pager blasts

    Jump

  • Replace battery with battery/explosive/receiver combo.

    • If everyone on this list got to debate, how would you structure the presidential debates?

    Jump

  • Instead of news organizations holding general debates, I'd like to see non-political non-profits hold more narrowly focused debates. Can be broadcast by any channel that wants to air it.

    Focus on two or three core, interconnected, issues with a few offshoots that are tangently connected.

    Invite top thinkers on those specific issues along with the top presidential candidates.

    Even if the other invites don't have a shot at being president, it will still force the presidential candidates to try to make valid arguments against or side with people that really know about the issues. The people really should hear these views instead of main candidates just trying to bring their opponent down. And if someone not in the top two expresses something that really resonates with the audience, maybe it gets picked up by a main candidate.

  • Ptyxis is default on Bluefin, which I'm on now.

    Recommend. Really nice container integration with distrobox.

    • AI's take on XML

    OP already admitted he made it up.

    • Georgia goes ‘North Korea’ with bombshell plan to ban main opposition parties

  • Anyone pay attention to most recent Venezuelan election?

    • What stupidly easy tech solution do people gloss over all of the time?

    Jump

  • Eh, I don't trust any 3rd party enough to give them all my passwords and I don't trust myself enough to secure a server for self hosting a password manager.

    I know all my passwords, can't forget em, no paper or notes, no repeat passwords.

    • Elon Musk may have to sell billions in Tesla stock to rescue X

    Jump

  • Trump wins and then appoints Elon to head of Twitter. That sounds worse.

    • Lemmings, which communities are you blocking?

    Jump

  • All the meme communities. I thought lemmy was going to be like reddit 15 years ago, but scolling all seems more like imugr.
