Well, firstly, there's the artistry of it. Creativity can be very sexy; it's a kind of intelligence, after all. Hence writing, cooking, painting, ect. also being on the list. Not to mention, wood is a beautiful medium overall... and it smells nice when freshley cut.

Secondly, it's attractive to be good with your hands. Not just because of the obvious, but because it's genuinely admirable. It's a show of competence (or at least one kind of competence) and requires one to be hard-working, dedicated, passionate, and persevering. All pretty universally attractive traits.

A carpenter's hands may be rough and scarred, but they're rough and scarred because they've literally crafted furniture/boats/houses/whatever. That in itself is pretty attractive to me.

Also do you find power tools or hand tools more attractive?

Personally, hand tools, because they require one to use more of their own power, if that makes sense. Plus, power tools are a little too dangerous for me to see them in a sexy context lol. Frankly, the tools themselves don't really do much for me.

Edit: two words

I was a pretty big fan of them when I was a teenager. Saw them live a couple of times. They were actually what prompted my eventual radicalization.

One of them (not the rapist; ugh... what a huge fucking disappointment that was) lived just a few houses away from us for a few years. I never built up the courage to approach him, though.

Edit: just read the article the other commenter posted. Didn't realize the rest of the band was (probably) a problem too. It's a bummer, but I can't really say I'm surprised.

I'm enjoying the results of both!

You're overthinking it; those questions are totally irrelevant to the point. Though, to be fair, the question doesn't exactly specify this at face value.

It's really just a thought experiment: would you rather take your chances, alone, with a random bear/man in the woods? You don't get a weapon. You dont get to choose which man or which bear, or what they do. It's a gamble.

It depends. If you eat frequently, regardless of how much you eat, you're going to feel hungry relatively soon at any given point. So, eating at a deficit just amplifies that. It's hard to ignore.

However, I'm a big fan of fasting (though I haven't been very consistent with it lately). Once my body eventually gets used to not eating multiple times per day and instead, say, eating one big meal once per day, I don't feel hungry at all until dinner time.

Even if you do eat at a reasonable deficit, and your daily meal is healthy/has enough fiber/protein, it's way more likely to satiate you.

Not really related to the post, but if I'm doing OMAD (one meal a day) consistently, fasting also makes me feel great. I get a noticeable increase in energy and mental clarity.

If it were that easy to find a good job, more people would have one.

That poor kitty. 😢 I can't imagine letting either of our cats get to that point, and one of them is OBSESSED with food.

Made this the other day. Grilled cheese is good with cheddar—and it is, pretty objectively, "better"—but tbh I found myself pining for good ol' velveeta.

Me too. That just sounds even more exhausting than my life already is

AskLemmy's name is modeled after the Reddit thread AskReddit, which was basically the same concept.

In the future, I suggest reading a page's description and rules before posting. The information is there for a reason, after all.

I do this too. Though instead of a hard-boiled egg, I like to fry one so the yolk is still a little runny, and put it on top.

Recently, I've been making a vinaigrette with olive oil, vinegar, dijon mustard, salt/pepper, honey, and Lao Gan Ma spicy chili crisp. It's pretty damn good.
