Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

Why do I have the nagging feeling this has more to do with price gouging and shrinkflation, and less to do with health awareness or self control.
It's possible, but I think it's largely been attributed to drugs like ozempic. Something like 1 in 8 people have taken it in some form already.
Good point. Can't wait to read about the terrible long term side effects of that stuff in like ten years.
Can't be much worse than long-term side effects of obesity, though.
