Xbox did that I think in like 2022-2023

Britain has a Vagina Museum! They’re active on Mastodon too, actually. Top tier posters, highly recommend a follow

Double down, I trust you guys to tell me what’s really going on

Well they’re probably a good source of protein in that case!

No nutritional value whatsoever. They would simply pass through your system unbothered.

• this is a joke, but who knows lol. If they’re as resilient as they say then why would your teeth and digestive system affect them?

Check out the revised Kurzgesagt script, they have pretty much the best and most up to date collection of research papers at the moment

I actually was introduced to the topic by Mike Israetel when he was reviewing Herman Pontzer’s research. So when I watched the original Kurz I was super confused because it seemed to make a different conclusion than the work they were citing. I’m glad they made the revised version

Yeah the body compensates for it to an extent.

You know how lot of people report exercise makes them feel better? Releases dopamine, relaxes them. A result is that they actually fidget less, their heart rate slows, and other energy burning processes in their body relax.

The buffer is relatively large in fact, like possibly over 200-400 calories per day depending on the person. I think of it as the body’s flywheel for keeping an energy balance.

One should keep exercising, for the numerous benefits. There also is a point where you are burning calories that need to be made up (either through eating or weight loss), ask any endurance athlete. Just not likely to hit the threshold in 20 mins on the treadmill, which is what many people do for exercise

Wow! I saw the initial post before all the follow up images were posted, thanks for bringing this back to my attention

Seriously though, I’ll scroll for hours at a time. Some of my favorite online communities ever are here on lemmy. What we’re building here is awesome.

It’s not uncanny to the point of having a full community for every game, hobby, and random concept that’s ever crossed someones mind. But honestly after seeing the internet evolve over the years I’m kind of over the idea of trying to cram everything into one giant website. Fedi is particularly awesome for that of course, moreso than ever now with loops and pixelfed doing so well

I need to admit I didn’t read your post well enough and so my response was a little off

Sure, no worries

I think it’s important to point out that when you say beginners should train to failure often, this doesn’t mean every workout or every set of every workout, it’s just a tool that lets you learn where failure is and how many reps you can perform.

Definitely, training to failure should be done at least occasionally for this reason. Although I would add that if one simply enjoys training to failure on every exercise there isn’t any inherent problem with that. Tons of people bring every exercise to failure without it ever causing a plateau, it depends on your split and your recovery.

I think it’s pretty well accepted that training to failure does not in itself provide results above other methods.

Everything 0-3RIR is equally optimal when volume is equated. So any method that keeps you within that range can be made to work very well. The important thing is to make sure you’re not one of the 80% of people training waaaaay too light

I’m sorry, but the overwhelming scientific consensus is that you need to come within 3 reps of failure (as I said).

Your own source confirms this outright

They definitionally establish their RPE system in terms of reps in reserve (reps away from failure) and their workout templates require you to bring your working sets to RPE 7+. If you look at the graph, you will see that RPE 7 is simply “three reps away from failure”.

Their method for figuring out how close to failure you actually are is also identical to what I described. Notice the graph with the line that says “this is too heavy” and how their lifter is constantly pushing right up against that line.

Additionally, the specific post you linked to is a nuanced take regarding RPE10 vs RPE8 situations. These are very high level programming concepts related to fatigue and total training volume; he’s saying that it’s possible you could train slightly more if you consistently leave 2 reps in the tank vs if you go to full failure every single set. It’s not something beginners should bog themselves down with in my opinion, but more importantly, it’s a complete misread for you to represent it as “training to failure doesn’t increase strength or hypertrophy”. Again, the consensus of experts (including the ones you are citing) is that it does.

I even touched on this exact point when I said non-beginners should “remind themselves [where failure actually is] often” as opposed to taking every set to failure.

I have many extant criticisms of their RPE system and their training recommendations in general, but we are in complete agreement about the basics. My apologies again if this post was overly forceful or rude, but I very much do not want people to be misinformed about this topic and you did present misinformation as if it were a medical fact

Training to failure is a pretty great idea for beginners and something that should be done often at any training age. Main reason being you need to take a set to within 3 reps of mechanical failure to get a proper growth stimulus. So you need to lean where the line actually is, and remind yourself often.

The vast majority of people have no idea how to push a set hard enough. That’s not my opinion btw, 80% of the people you see walking around the gym get this wrong.

Doesn’t cause any notable damage. You will be extremely sore however if you rush into it. But once you’re accustomed to it you can pretty much train a muscle every 2 or 3 days if you wanted, as long as your sleep and nutrition are on point.

That misses the question a bit, no? Everything that is wrong to do is a personal choice. It’s not relevant to whether or not it should be done

Yeah, come to think of it, what’s up with that one anyway?

Haha oh no worries lol I didn’t mean for you to change it I was just being silly :p it is nice tho. I think cultivating positivity is gonna be a powerful thing moving forward

These always cheer me up but this one is so ominous. Let’s hope to see many more!

The silksong community is one of my favorite of all time for years now. Every couple of weeks a new “theme” of insane shitposting evolves. Most fun and creative silly posting I’ve ever seen.

One common post is “_____ every day until silksong comes out”. People are doing fanart challenges, one guy posts a video of himself petting a cat every day which is very popular. The cat had to get a surgery at one point and needed a cone but was fine.

It’s not just noise. It brings people a lot of joy. There’s been several posts over the years from people basically grieving the potential loss/change of the community once the game actually drops. I’ll miss it, too

No no it’s good, this is actually better than them making a proper announcement. Community loves this shit.

Quick summary:

Dev changes name, handle, and pfp on twitter. Posts a cryptic message about keeping your eyes closed tomorrow.

Reverse image search of pfp leads to a recipe released April 2nd

Cryptic message appears to be a reference to an Imagine Dragons thing from April 2nd

“Tomorrow” was interpreted as being related to the big switch 2 reveal, launching April 2nd

The name and handle also appear to be references to things having to do with April 2nd

The community is ablaze right now. Without a hint of irony: there is more genuine belief in the game actually coming out this time than there was before the original delay was announced in 2023, back when we had an official release date

Slamming ctrl+P and reading the print preview works in many cases as well

Silksong launch title?
