    That study you linked was done in animals, and I have a feeling it was dug up to support the notion that keto is in any way shape or form, good for you.

    Great, now let’s stop pretending that meat dairy and eggs are health foods and that low carb high fat diets are ideal for you, particularly here on the usually-scientific HN. We’ve…

    What we need is to stop consuming animals and animal products, or we’ll keep having economy destroying pandemics. Not to mention the obvious problem that farming is horrendous for …

    Great, meat SHOULD cost a fortune. The actual cost of meat is not what you pay for it, the only reason it’s even affordable is because the taxpayer shoulders the burden of the farm…

    Clever move to make the slide transition timeout juuust a tad too fast to read, further driving home the point that carousels are a shit way to present information.

    I’ve been using this for quite a while, and recently I’ve run into the trouble that the fire base account was overcapacity. Not sure if it’s been fixed since then, but I’ve had to …

    I am big into video games, and a couple of years ago I found a blog that really resonated with me. Same type of games that I want to play, and they were all fairly old. A couple of…

    Totally, it's a dangerous path to tread. Suddenly your potential worth as having you as an employee is tied to how small of a shanty you live in. "Whoa, this guy's resume says he h…

    See, now this sounds awesome. Everyone's getting offended for sport but what I'm referring to is the fact that we have a huge portion of the US who sits in a car all day and night,…

    Sounds like process needs to be changed on a higher level, not that an ever-growing population needs a slavish devotion to sitting in ever-growing levels of traffic.

    I'm always reading about job openings throughout my country (or world, for that matter) that offer 100% remote positions, and initially the huge difference in salary was pretty jar…

    It's a damn shame, really, the slavish devotion to one's car and spending hours a day sitting in traffic apparently is apparently preferred over actually getting time back in your …

    There's also a huge difference between recklessly doing all of these things, and responsibly doing these things. Not necessarily 130mph wheelies, but lane-splitting is perfectly sa…

    Same here! Minecraft captured the hearts and minds of nearly every demographic, even with "rudimentary" blocky graphics. Never would have happened it went for realism. Lately I've …

    I finally finished a little convenience tool I made for fetching lyrics for your currently playing Spotify song, called Spotify Karaoke. Currently I'm working on an Electron app fo…

    Damn. Totally missed that, and in hindsight it's now obvious. Don't I feel like a dope :(

    You can appreciate the technology behind it, but once the graphics in a game (which you play to escape real life) begin to mimic real life, it can feel underwhelming. For instance,…

    Every time motorcycles come up in any topic ever, you can tell within the first three words of a post if the author has even the faintest idea of how to ride. It's very frustrating…

    I've ridden a motorcycle for years, seen countless riders, and yet never once have I seen a single person ride down the highway at 300mph with the front wheel at 12 o'clock like (a…

    These three-wheeled vehicles always make me think the same thing, "all the risk of a motorcycle, with none of the fun." They don't exactly have good cargo space, so storage isn't t…

    What I meant was, fat adds to the flavor, and blows up the calories, in turn making you fuller and thus you think you got a good value for your dollar.

    First and foremost, upon returning to this thread after a few hours, I’m stoked how many people I got to say the word “dong”. Anyway. Nowadays it would probably be easier than ever…
