"The dose makes the poison". According to the WHO, there is no level of alcohol consumption that is good for the health. OP sounds like he doesn't get anything out of drinking anym…

I'm not sure how it's counted (whether it includes forcibly migrated), but according to Statista, Russia currently holds the majority of non-internal Ukrainian refugees.

The lifting heavy weights just ensures you retain muscle during weight loss, doesn't it? While weight loss is mostly diet, if you did want to use exercise to burn additional calori…

Where I live in Northern England, buses are (amongst other reasons) mostly hampered in their reliability by delays and cancellations caused by sharing roads congested with cars. He…

The most precious IP you own, which you drop in the form of 50-100 fallen hairs every day, and is smeared on everything you touch. People submit more weaponizable (behavioural) dat…

Privacy nuts are always going overboard about things that mean very little. Genetic data sounds important but in the bigger scheme of things, it's probably the least manipulatable …

Don't know why you're being downvoted. Walkin' isn't really slang but most people use walking/hiking interchangeably. Hiking is just more official/more serious, like 'running' as o…

Stop eating them. Forgive me for the cynical take but "ultraprocessed" isn't stuff that just slips in without you realising, is it? It's garbage like crisps, biscuits, cakes, choco…

I don't know where you're from, but in the UK, over £50 billion is spent on it each year. If you've seen anybody who lives for Friday / Saturday night and a Sunday hangover, it fit…

My experience is that drinkers are incredibly boring people.

Team sport, or any sport for that matter. All of the friends I've made have been through competitive sport, the gym, running, team sports.

The cause is too much food/the quality of the food people eat. Exercise plays a small role in weight loss / management, but people should still do it for the other benefits.

While I agree with your overall comment, the last sentence really isn't necessary. This isn't Reddit.

This is usually labelled quite literally as a "whole foods diet", meaning that the foods you eat are "whole" in themselves and not composed of other refined food. To me, it's the o…

A select minority in the local council didn't care, but the citizens and those who protested (and got arrested) over this overwhelmingly did. Since the protests, the council stoppe…

Bad schools are generally in bad areas. A few years ago, primary age students going into high school from my home village were going to be split between two secondary (or high) sch…

Not sure why you're being downvoted for stating this. To add to what you said, environmentally it's awful. Where I live it, most of the food deliveries were bicycle based a few yea…

When you say it allows you uninterrupted work, are you talking about overtime or have you moved towards eating delivered food during working hours? I couldn't imagine eating takeaw…

Is it really that hard to have a smartphone and just not install addictive/time-wasting apps on it? I think my daily average screen time is 10 minutes (according to Digital Wellbei…
