The uniquely US problem is poor people having terrible diets, but lack of fibre for non-poor people is a thing all over the world aside from maybe like, japan…

i’ve personally benefitted greatly from just opting for whole-grain versions of things like pasta, much better poops now.

this makes me want to see an elecromancer and aeromancer carrying around bags of flour and sawdust to fucking annihilate entire buildings with a single spark, while everyone thinks it’s some grand pyromancer summoning hellfire

i’ve been chugging DNA juice for 10 years and i’m just about to evolve

fiber is so strange because it’s function is basically just to pass through you, and yet it’s so vital for the digestive system to function properly

everyone keeps saying “oh dietary supplements are just pissing away money” but fibre supplements are the one supplement most people would benefit hugely from taking, just get some psyllium husk or whatever and enter toilet nirvana

Hydrol sounds like bottled water you’d buy at the pharmacy

i’m sure there’s at least one ant-mimicking spider that has turned their front legs into extra quasi-pedipalps to blend in better, getting rid of limbs is super easy in evolution (that’s where antennae and the existing pedipalps come from, and spinnerets too i presume)

so wait are we just walking terrestrial lobsters? and… gorillas are primate crabs maybe?

fun fact: aphids are born pregnant (or at least they can be)

squeezes your buttcheek yeah they’re human, carry on

imagine if a species of lemur evolved to broadly look like us, but still with lemur faces and stuff

that’s basically what’s happening for ants, terrifying

i think it’s instinctive to go “OH FUCK” when something of sufficient size skitters about, but not instinctive to specifically hate spiders

and it doesn’t matter what the skittery thing is, if a mouse scurries across my floor i’m gonna get spooked too, and i think mice are cute!

“ohoho no! these aren’t legs, they’re pedipalps! mmm, pedipalps to help me eat!”

runes are just crows walking in snow

people also fucking suck at remembering punycode exists and will just default to the english alphabet because it’s easier

cocks gun Whatever the answer is, i’m about to add several more

turns out half the people on lemmy are kangaroos

companies doing something actually useful for pride month?
do we have a word like “impressive” but when it’s something that should be obvious yet is barely ever done? Maybe “outstanding” said in an extremely sarcastic tone?

considering how cats just keep showing up in people’s houses and acting like they’ve been living there all along, it seems we do in fact deserve cats

it’d be great if the existing government bodies that explicitly exist to help people find jobs did their own fucking jobs and didn’t just sit around jerking off to paperwork and humiliating poor people

the obvious solution to this is that you aren’t making a rational and sensible decision if it supports a shit system, as the rational decision would be to do anything that works toward dismantling or changing the system.
