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.

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 13 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Hurvitz@hexbear.net 43 points 6 months ago

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

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 41 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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 21 points 6 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.

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

Inferior Seed Oils

Sunflower seeds

Doesn't protect against the sun

An interesting hypothesis.

[-] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 37 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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 30 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 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.

[-] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

I don’t think the concern is the seeds themselves, but rather that in the process of turning them into oil and cooking at high temps it changes the molecular structure in ways that are not good.

I don’t know, I started looking into all this years ago before it got completely overtaken by chuds. It sucks because now I’m skeptical of any research that comes out about it because the space has become so chuddy. But back in the day I just swapped out cooking with vegetable oil for like, coconut oil and olive oil in some cases, not really a big deal. I don’t think it’s the sort of thing that anyone should panic over or change their diet if they don’t like it. But tbh drastically reducing how much seed oil I ingest was such a small change to my life I was just kinda like sure, ok, whatever.

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.

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!

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

[-] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 29 points 6 months ago

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

[-] Wheaties@hexbear.net 22 points 6 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 27 points 6 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

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

[-] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 10 points 6 months ago

Not to mention, sunscreen is a low-key environmental disaster as well.

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 6 months ago

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

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 10 points 6 months ago

It definitely does not. It reduces the redness and appearance of acne, but UV exposure itself is irritating and can even trigger breakouts.
