I can lose 10lbs in 3 days if i quit drinking beer. 10 lbs is definitely noticeable. It’s definitely not a real change, just not being super bloated, but noticeable.

You're drinking over 11k calories a day in beer?

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

What's even more shocking to me is, that he "stops drinking beer for three days" as if that wouldn't be normal. How regularly do you have to drink beer to stop for three days.

If I have a few drinks every other weekend I wouldn't say "I stopped drinking for 2 weeks", as if that would be something unusual. So unless you are drinking at least bidaily it just doesn't make sense to state that you stop for three days.

You realize the human body contains more than just fat right?

[-] Sciaphobia@lemm.ee 0 points 6 days ago

I am, yes. What are you suggesting he'd be losing instead? Water weight? If it's that, you can lose that without ceasing drinking beer at all. It seemed to me that the implication was the fella could lose 10 pounds that would stay off by stopping alcohol consumption, which water weight would not.

Is there something else l am missing?

These fucking guys? Amirite? Sheesh…

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

It’s a bet I’ve won several times. Feeling like you have too much money?

[-] Sciaphobia@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

I don't understand what you're asking me.

An average male adult will burn round about 2000kcal/day, which comes down to 2kg of fat per week (that's 4.4 lbs in freedom units). To burn through 10 punds in three days, you'd have to finish an Ironman every day. And all that's assuming that your calorie intake is zero, nada, niente. So if you're loosing 10 pounds in three days, you are either an exceptional athlete or you're just peeing a lot. That's also the problem with all these "loose 10kg in 2 weeks" diets: What you're loosing is water, not fat. And as soon as you end the diet it's a matter of days to regain that weight .

That’s exactly what i said, just not like an asshole. And i am a pretty consistent athlete. GFY! Happy new year!

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

I'm not sure where exactly I said something assholy. If I did, I'm sorry as that was not my intention. GFY and a happy new year to you too, whatever that means.

[-] Sciaphobia@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

GFY is 'go fuck yourself' most likely. Classy.

Edit from douchehorn: It's good there was no class intended, because there was none.

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Lol. Maybe you can help me out once more, as I'm a bit confused here, maybe it's a cultural thing. Is it normal for Americans to throw around with swearwords while believing the others are impertinent, or is it just a chemicalprophet problem?

[-] Sciaphobia@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

It does not seem uncommon for guys who are friendly with one another to throw insults at one another in a non-serious manner. That's not really the relationship I have with my friends, but it is a thing. I'm not aware of that being much of a thing without some degree of established rapport though. He could have just been doing friendly ribbing as he said, but I think it's more likely that he decided he was more annoyed at me than at you.

[-] chemicalprophet@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

All in good fun. No offense intended. You just did the math and i was winging it so i was ribbing you. Also, no class intended. <—for that other elitist douchehorn
