Dude, it’s not what I think, it’s what academic research has found.
Prorate cancer is unlikely to occur until later in life, but you draw it nearer with your NNN insanity.
You won’t know until it’s too late and you can never know whether an individual event or month of non events will have made a difference, because it’s a statistical fact rather than a mathematical fact.
We don’t know whether it’s cause or effect, but I wouldn’t be prepared to risk it just because some witless idiots on the internet told me I was doing a good job of not getting any satisfaction.

@Themosthighstrange is right. Men who have over 21 ejaculations per month have significantly lower risk of prostate cancer than lower frequency ejaculators. NNN is profoundly bad for your reproductive health. Don’t do it.

I’m not alone here
Absolutely not.
You’re very much not the first person to think you’re better than other people because you look down on them enjoying something you already saw.
And you’re not the first person to mistakenly believe you’re making a post better by whingeing about how bored you are by it.
- Comment on You've Just Been Hit By The Metric System Boys 1 week ago:
In fact, the only thing more boring than a repost is someone thinking they’re original when they’re complaining about reposts. Get over yourself. You’re not the only one reading the internet. Someone else might be one of today’s lucky 10000. xkcd.com/1053/

This comment is the most exciting thing I’ve read on Lemmy all year long! I can’t wait to talk about something else! Whoopeee! Yay!

It’s obvious that there’s 1760 yards in a mile.
There’s 22 yards in a chain, which we can all remember because of the 22 yard line in rugby.
There are 10 chains in a furlong, which fans of metric can’t complain about.
There are 8 furlongs in a mile, just like there are 8 pints in a gallon.
And 22x10x8 = 11x10x16 and 11 is easy to multiply by in your head, so it’s really very simple to get to 1760.

That last bit made me chuckle. Sorry if made it harder to disentangle.

You’re doing it again, telling ME what I THINK
I struggle to find any text that I wrote that supports this assertion.
I am not an AI supporter. That’s all I want to make clear.
All I’m saying is that if you want to make that clear, maybe arguing on a technicality on an anti-AI post muddies the water a bit. Read the room a bit.
Also, if you want to win back the room, apology lands better than defensiveness.
I am not sorry for anything,
Like I say, that’s not winning you any friends, and of you blame everyone else but yourself for the reaction to what you said, you will continue to get similar reactions in the future.
because I never had a problem with what you claim my problem is
I claim that your problem is that disagreeing with a moderately popular anti AI post on a technicality got folks arguing with you and you aren’t well placed to handle the fallout.
I am fundamentally being misunderstood and that’s what pisses me off
As someone who is upset at people misunderstanding them, you’re sure spending a lot of energy complaining about what you assume I think about your viewpoint on AI, when in fact I believe I made no claim or assumption whatsoever about what you believe about AI, just about what you said and how you said it.
- Comment on Cuck Coding 3 weeks ago:
I don’t care if you disagree.
And yet here you are, getting upset that people didn’t like what you said.
My pet peeve is being told what I think and what I am
Then may I suggest that disagreeing with people on a technicality isn’t going to end well for you, and you’re going to need a thicker skin if you do.
Also, if you want to win back the room, apology lands better than defensiveness.

I always thought of the major keys as gentler and cheerier, like a daisy chain, and the minor keys as darker and stronger, like a deep purple orchid, but Charpentier clearly saw it completely differently.

But for a healthy person, “it would be impossible to overdose on bananas,” says Collins. "You would probably need around 400 bananas a day to build up the kind of potassium levels that would cause your heart to stop beating… Bananas are not dangerous - and in fact they are, and always have been, very good for you."
Adults should consume about 3,500mg of potassium per day, according to the UK’s National Health Service. The average banana, weighing 125g, contains 450mg of potassium, meaning a healthy person can consume at least seven-and-half bananas before reaching the recommended level.
There are some people who should steer clear of foods that are high in potassium though, warns Collins - those with kidney disease.
“These patients have a very low kidney function which can potentially see a build-up of harmful potassium levels in their blood stream because they can’t get rid of the mineral when they pass urine,” she says. “So in theory it is possible for someone with kidney disease to die of a high blood potassium level if they decided to consume lots of different food types rich in the mineral.”
She once had a patient on dialysis who had a heart attack after eating too many tomatoes - another fruit rich in potassium. His kidneys had already stopped working so he was unable to get rid of the excess.
