I don't get it, in my experience it sucks no matter how short or long you do it. Like, if I put my arm into a 100°C oven for longer and longer it doesn't suddenly start feeling good, it's the same uncomfortable-to-stressful experience every time (and at some point it causes physical damage). Obviously with exercise your body can build up muscles to make the experience less awful, but it doesn't prevent it from being a purely stressful one, both mentally and physically (and at some point all the constant stress causes mental damage). Even after weeks there's no difference, except that I was so stressed I lashed out against everything and everyone.

I do not understand (on a subjectice level) how this can be any different for others. I've read about dopamine being supposed to be released, and it truly has to be copious amounts to block all the stress signals and somehow turn it into something positive. Basically the only sane explanations there is to me why people would do this to themselves are either external necessities or the desire to get high on built-in drugs which only works for some people (who then believe it's that way for everyone).

Youtube/Google is known to bully and lash out against Firefox users first, they use that as a hybrid strategy to make people use Google Chrome more (other market, same corposcum). Not surprised.

Naah. For me both Newpipe on mobile and Freetube on desktop still work fine, aside from rare IP blocks (which can be easily circumvented with a VPN). Going to set up a JellyFin with auto-download for my favourite creators in the future. It'll work out somehow, like always. Should they go full ham and lock all creators behind some subscription wall or whatever people will just code and set up relays and torrents automatically being fed with new videos to free them, or setting up hundreds of Peertube instances that get auto-filled or sth.

These big companies can't win in this regard, especially not now when the tide is already shifting and even the mainstream increasingly starts hating them. The moment large creators see a viable alternative that isn't as awful (some already post their uncut videos to other platforms only due to all the word censoring etc) they're screwed, so locking it down and enshittificating it even further is increasingly dangerous for them by now.

So the body just doesn't release dopamine for exercising unless you already do it for months? That's what I'm getting from this. 🤔

The artist forgot the constant BEEEEEEEEEEP in your ears. Or multiple beeps.

I think you need a little bit more exercise before competing in mental gymnastics.

That's just because we made it like that though for some weird cultural reason (as well as propaganda), there's zero reason why an office worker or train conductor couldn't eat multiple small amounts of fruits and veggies over the day, or just none at all until home. Even the idea of the "importance of breakfast" literally came from Kelloggs trying to convince everyone to eat cereal in the morning 60(?) years ago to build themselves somewhat of a 'cultural anchor'. I mean, we could've also gone the way to chop each workday in 2-hour chunks and eat a bite between all of them. Good thing nobody told Nestle they could've made people buy more food that way.

Not sure about other countries, but in Germany I never got stung by honey bro. I just let them check me out so they know I'm not a succulent flower but a peaceful waste of time.

Wasps on the other hand…

Why, does the calorie economy depend in it? Who are you working for, Big Food?

This. I really only eat a small breakfast because I have to for meds, but if it weren't for that I'd totally be fine with one big meal a day (turns out to be dinner most of the time) and perhaps one apple or sth. late at night.

This forced 3-meal system is so weird and inconvenient.
