Once the body uses up fat reserves it starts using muscle. Indiscriminately.
Including the heart.
This is why so many people with eating disorders die from cardiovascular complications.

I’m always looking for logical reasons to stay plump.
I’m adding this one to my short list.
-
Easier to float in water. Less likely to drown.
-
Easier to not die of hypothermia
-
Hard seats are less hard with tush cush
-
Animals seem to like plump humans more (maybe they assume we know where the food is).
-
Lower carbon footprint.

- Comment on Fucking AC still not here 😮💨🤬 4 days ago:
I bought a window AC unit off of Facebook marketplace last summer.
I’m in an old house. All outlets are two prong so I use adapters.
So multiple times the AC flipped the breaker.
It did it a few times last summer but this summer it was happening multiple times a day. So after it fried a bar drive in my PC from a power surge (yes I had a power surge protector on but hardrives are more sensitive)… Anywho I bought a heavy duty extension cord and ran the AC to the spare bedroom that’s on a separate breaker switch.
I assumed incorrectly , it was the old outlet being a little “loose” and literally everything in the living room including a 3d printer and PC being on the same breaker as the problem.
It was not.
AC ran okay for like a week. No more breakers flipped. Then one day power for it stops. I assume breaker but I check. It’s fine. I check outlet. It’s fine and works.
That’s when I going the new heavy duty extension cord was melted to the plug on the AC.
Yeah. Melted. It won’t come off. I tried prying it off with a flathead. Cause the extension cord was like $35.
Cause it’s heavy duty. And 30 ft.
Anyway. I guess there was something wrong with the AC.
Why am I telling this story. Because I was sure the AC itself was fine. I mean it ran okay.
I still have no idea what’s wrong with it but I’m going to write in black sharpie all over it that it’s bad and “danger don’t use ⚡ ⚡ ⚡”
so. When I have it hauled off to the dump , no one tries to use it.
Assuming they can get the extension cord off of it.
I had a stand up portable AC in using now. Window units are more efficient but I can’t buy another and I just blocked off the kitchen and it works ok. Glad I had a backup option.
I Got another extension cord. $$
Still don’t want to chance another power surge to my PC.
Has anyone ever had a bad AC that causes power problems like this ?
It was a 12,000 BTU or something like that.
Idk what the issue is. Never had this happen.
Glad the cord melted and power flow stopped instead of a fire.

I’m going to post this fyi just in case because it’s related.
Do not use job posting websites to find jobs.
They just steal your information plus full of scams.
Here is how you find actual job openings.
Go to individual company websites and navigate to their “careers” or “join our team” page.
Yes it’s more work as you have to make a list of companies that have the kind of work you are looking for and then manually go to each of their websites.
But you are wasting your time using job hosting sites like monster or any of those other ones.
The posts are made by bots and scammers.
And less and less legitimate companies use them for that same reason as well.
If you need ideas for companies , I suggest opening up Google maps and looking around for companies near you and then spread out.

- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 week ago:
I think difficulty settings are nice for letting more people play how they want without having to use mods.
I don’t care for the gatekeeping b.s.
I played RE Village with an unlimited-bullets-mod cause otherwise I couldn’t get past choke points.
I play with a controller and shooting is just not great with a joystick unless there is aim assist. Can’t recall if this game had it or not but either way I kept dying when swarmed by werewolves.
I like horror games and I get that the point is to make you anxious about ammo or health. To build tension. But I just find it frustrating sometimes.
- Comment on Beans 1 week ago:
It’s about how any uniting ideology can be used against the people who follow it.
It creates conformity, obedience, loyalty to “the cause.”
And some psychopath will always try to come in and take power.

Have you read the book Animal farm?
Or watch the old cartoon. (Not the new cgi garbage).
And I think you will understand a bit better how things unfolded.

Lemmy doesn’t like AI.
Maybe you didn’t realize that yet but I figured I’d say it simply.
Nothing that’s AI is going to get any love here.
We all dislike AI generated slop. It’s theft. It’s a hazard to the climate. It’s just bad.
It you have a good idea then use photo manipulation or draw a stickman comic.
No ai.
