Depends on your definition of 'full of it'.

Wim Hof does pretty much everything he claims to do. His 'method' however is pretty much nonsense. It doesn't take a genius to say 'hey if you get used to being in the cold you'll feel less cold when you're in the cold'. It's unclear how much of it is a blatant cash grab and how much he actually believes, however.

It is (technically) possible to learn to trick your body into fight-or-flight mode, releasing adrenaline which will cause your body to heat up. You can even learn to do this for extended periods of time, as at least one group of Tibetan monks practice. But unless you're a monk, you're highly unlikely to ever achieve anything other than life-threatening tachycardia.

As you may imagine, it's quite difficult to achieve and even if you do so, it's not great for your long-term heart health to constantly trick your body to release adrenaline for extended periods. It's even worse for the brain.

Not great, the grey>white lagged behind by up to three words at times (120 WPM). I much prefer tenfastfingers (where I usually only score around 100-110, which is already pretty inflated).

Yes. Cold showers are linked to higher white blood cell count, decrease in sick days, decrease depression, better sleep, among others.

At the very least they're more environmentally friendly and time-saving than regular showers. In my personal experience, I am much less sensitive to short-term temperature changes than others.

Moreover, recent changes in Reddit’s policy towards its moderators, along with its claim of ownership over the subreddits, could potentially destabilize the company’s legal standing. This could potentially raise questions about the company’s legal standing.

Is this the first draft of a high school report?

Sadly I'm pretty sure it's full of beheadings, not the fun kind of NSFW. But I'm sure soon enough someone will create a lemmy.porn or something.

This feels like the same concept as Von Neumann probes

Thank you! Is the ! supposed to be working then but just isn't?

What if i just want to block any post from any community from any instance with the word 'trump' in the title, is there a way to do that?

[–] WhiteTiger 3 points 2 years ago

The problem is when 50+ communities all start talking about something pointless Trump or Elon said. I want to be able to hide/block posts by keyword, not community.

[–] WhiteTiger 1 points 2 years ago

That's pretty much entirely what I used RES for, custom post filter by keyword.

Awesome advice, thank you very much! I figured there had to be a way to 'brute force it' as your second paragraph explains.
