Funny how skin cancer disproportionately affects white people living in sunny areas, I guess that's another one of Yakub's little jokes

"I love the sun. It's great, right? I can look at it any time I want. But ya gotta be smart. Lotsa people don't know this but I told Daedalus - I told him 'Look, wings made of wax won't work. I got an airline - use that.' But Daedalus didn't listen to me. And his son, Icarus, flew-flew-flew up the sky. And then - you know what? Then he crashed and died. Sad."

My diet is only animal fat, not even meat, just the fat. Breakfast lunch and dinner. My eyeballs are greasy, and my tears are just 100% tallow. I don't even drink water. Because of this, i can stare at the sun for hours a day and have no issues. I've never had a sunburn. Wake up people.

TFW you miss your dose of t-blockers

[-] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago

I would love to live like those coastal lizards where you don't have to do very much thinky. You sit in the sun, maybe eat something, and listen to the waves instead of doing the same with social media

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

The waves: "Actually, Joe Biden has accomplished a lot! Trump is going to be even worse to Palestinians!"

Even if that was true (it's not, long term exposure to UV rays from the sun causes skin cancer), sun damage is still a thing. I live in a super sunny country, I don't want my skin to look like worn out leather by the time I'm 50. I'm putting on sunscreen every morning. SPF50.

Also the Andrew Huberman guy, basically a "science based" Joe Rogan knockoff, advised against putting on sunscreen because he thinks that the chemicals in it are more harmful than the damage caused by the sun. For some reason health and fitness gurus are going hard against sunscreen at the moment. I have no idea why they are doing this. One of the easiest ways to stay looking younger is to use sunscreen every day lol. Probably the easiest health and beauty "biohack" that exists. 30 seconds of work a day which consists of applying a cheap cream to your face and exposed skin, so you look 15-20 years younger when you're 60. You'd think health and fitness gurus would promote the hell out of this.

You’d think health and fitness gurus would promote the hell out of this.

Why? By the time their flock are wrinkled and riddled with cancer they'll have already made their bag and cashed out.

[-] Doubledee@hexbear.net 24 points 7 months ago

Even if you're almost always indoors/work nights? I always lathered up multiple times when I worked outside or whenever I went anywhere to hang out in the sun, but maybe I need to add sunscreen to my daily routine of peering hatefully at the rays that intrude into my cave.

This is like 1 or 2 steps removed from the "functional medicine" fuckheads that my mom was introduced to a year or two ago and is now pretty into. Thankfully she's not at the point of eating red meat and butter and eggs exclusively but there's some kooky stuff in there and the fact that you can find licensed doctors promoting every fucking variety of horrible misinfo makes my blood boil

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 43 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Bro white people will straight up colonize the sun and then wonder why their skin is as scaly as a crocodile in one year

So I've run into some of these anti seed oil people before, but is there any basis to what they're saying or is it just pseudoscientific quackery?

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 33 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Most of the fat, which is essential for hormone production, in the human diet for thousand of years came from nuts and seeds. It doesn’t make sense that now all of a sudden these same oils are bad for you. Do people put too much oil in their food in general? Probably, but the seed oil itself isn’t bad. People would be surprised to know they really don’t need to eat that many grams of fat per day.

There's a flaw with that kind of question because our scientific understanding of diet is nowhere near complete. Metabolism and the microbiome are crazy complicated. It's better to do experiments like actually cutting out seed oils to see what happens. And the weird thing is that their community has hundreds of posts about curing weird autoimmune diseases or digestion issues https://www.reddit.com/r/StopEatingSeedOils/comments/1bqpel7/so_thankful_for_this_sub/

Idk, I think it's compelling enough I've been changing my diet. I definitely get much less cravings for things, I actually just ended a 36 hour fast I did simply because I forgot to eat.

Inferior Seed Oils

Sunflower seeds

Doesn't protect against the sun

An interesting hypothesis.

[-] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 39 points 7 months ago

I deeply encourage every may-I mean person of pallor to embrace their birthright and stand out in the sunlight for hours on end every day

Embrace your history!

I'm just saying if we all wore hoods or floppy straw hats we'd need less sunscreen.

Modern fascism is so wacky, they're all basically led around by grifters and snake oil salesmen.

[-] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 32 points 7 months ago

nothing new in American politics, grifters and snake oil salesmen literally formed a major religion around themselves here (Mormonism)

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago

"swaddled in the flag" was some hot bullshit

American fascism came marching in with former confederate officers and flanked by guys in round thatch hats singing about pool tables.

[-] seas_surround@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago

I'll have you know snake oil is a superior fat which will allow you to sun yourself on a rock like a reptile

Without opening the link, how much should I bet he’s a chiropractor?

Lol. If your work results in people being suspicious and asking if you’re a quack, maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to be a doctor

all i know is tanning cured my psoriasis except for around my hair line

[-] Virulent@reddthat.com 11 points 7 months ago

It also helps with acne. The problem is that it really does age you.

As a lmayo cracker the sun is definitely my enemy. I hide from it whenever possible like the cave dweller I was meant to be before Dr. Yakub changed me.
