Wrinkles and laugh lines are just the consequences of a life lived. Really we should celebrate them.

Nobody cares that a 50 year old doesn’t look 20. Meanwhile each laugh line indicates days filled with joy.

A friend of mine once said:

What's the point in living forever if all you eat is salad?

[–] flicker 63 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I really love salad. Like an insane amount. Crunchy greens, baby spinach, every kind of onion, hit me with those sliced radishes! Sliced cucumber, carrots, bell pepper! And most days I don't even want dressing. Or meat in there.

Which means that I don't get enough fuel for sustenance, and I don't get enough protein!

I guess what I'm saying is, even salad in moderation.

I am so jelly of you and the folks who love excersise.

[–] flicker 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You say that, but I am also fat.

Salad sauces are entirely oils, they can add a surprising number of calories

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe by deep frying it? Eating lots of desserts? Sugary drinks?

I used to think I didn't like exercise. As it turns out, I'm just not that into running. I love biking though.

I've always loved weight lifting as well, though, so idk

It gets a habit really quick, if you find something you enjoy.

6 years ago it started as slight detours while cycling home from work, now I get itchy if I don't manage at least 100km/week on my bike.

Dax: Steamed azna would put years on your life.

Sisko: Dax, I don't want years on my life, if I can only eat steamed azna.

That was my go-to saying when I was actively using.

[–] 2ugly2live 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As a fatty mcfat fat person, there are limits. Having a treat here and there is no issue, enjoy that deep fried state fair concoction, just don't eat it every day. Buy that cute trinket or sweater or game, just don't buy all of them every time. Enjoy the sun shine, don't roast yourself.

I mean no one said "flee the sun". They said "use sunscreen".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some take avoiding sunshine pretty seriously. I see a lot of Asians doing that, carrying parasols around and huge hats and it really does feel very "flee the sun".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I mean that's still spending time outside. If parasols and big hats weren't so thoroughly OUT fashion-wise where I live I'd absolutely rock one of those. The cooling effect looks really nice.

Well, that and my gigantic head doesn't work with the vast majority of hats.

But yeah being in the shade barely counts as protection against UV radiation anyway. If you understand the science, you do that to cool down and to see better more than you do it to avoid UV rays.

What's the LD50 of high quality olive oil?

[–] GraniteM 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

From /r/theydidthemath, six years ago:

solpyro

An MSDS from naturalsourcing.com for "olive oil grade a" gives an LD50 of >2000mg/kg. (I couldn't copy the link on mobile, sorry)

An average human is around 62kg (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight) and they would need to ingest over 124g.

Olive oil has a density of .918g/cm³ (https://hypertextbook.com/facts/2000/IngaDorfman.shtml) making this dose about 114ml.

...which, I'm going to be honest, seems low.

[–] Asidonhopo 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

3.8 ounces? Yikes, that does seem low.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah, 3 shots of olive oil and you're dead? That can't be right.

Edit: Yeah it's not right. Here's the source the reddit post didn't link: https://spoonnaturallubricant.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/MSDS_Olive_Oil_Grade_A.pdf

Oral: Expected to possess a relatively low degree of acute oral toxicity (LD50 expected to be >2000 mg/kg)

The commenter took that point and used 2000 mg as lethal dose, when the reference material basically said "I dunno, but at it's more than this."

Anything in excess is bad for you. Even water.

We must beware of the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide

[–] ceenote 11 points 2 months ago

My great grandpa ingested dihydrogen monoxide every day of his life, often more than once. And now he's dead.

Whatever you do, don't breathe it in!

You only have so many beats in your heart, don't waste them all exercising

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But also don’t not exercise because it’ll let you live to experience many more and in a better quality of life.

Paradoxically, exercising makes your heart beat slower, this increasing your lifespan.

Sadly all that is undone by the time you'd have to spend exercising instead of enjoying life.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Alternatively, your exercise could be hiking in the mountains or something similarly awesome.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Rinse cold after showering. Heart exercise without exercise.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I have two big mantras I subscribe to:

  • "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing in excess."
  • "All things in moderation."

Somewhere between the two, we balance the debauchery, somewhat.

Buying a pretty nice coffee bean grinder made such a bigger difference in the quality of the coffee I drink that I count it as a solid win.

[–] Entropywins 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Really...I have never sprung for a better grinder but do spend on good beans and either pour over or French press, I'll have to look into that thanks!

My Pa used to say, it doesn't cost more to go first class, you just pay a little longer.

He wasn't good at math, but he was good at life.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Most things are fine in moderation, demonizing everything you like is how you get miserable and crave them more
