It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Stressing out and losing weight is famously good for your health, after all.

I hate it here. SEO and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

stepping on a landmine is a fast way to lose weight

Was that made specifically for this post or it just good timing? blob-on-fire this-is-fine

I saw this post and then was like "hey we don't have an emote for this, I should make one"

A very understandable reaction.

Ozempic is out, cortisol is in.

Why am I still surprised nearly every day about what new lows capitalism will go to make a buck. I just don't understand how I keep getting surprised.

No wonder refugees are so often fashionably trim! New diet fad is sweeping through the upper crust of western high society - the Gulag Diet!

I thought stress made you more likely to gain weight or is that something else?

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Some people overeat as a response to stress so that would do it. Stress on its own can't really affect your weight either way though

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve heard that high cortisol (stress hormone) can cause weight gain, but idk if that’s just some health fad BS or real science.

[–] Pixel_Juicer@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

I saw that in an interview recently. Diary of a CEO on YouTube with a neuroscientist. Specifically weight gain around the gut.
