  Not necessarily. I’m pretty sure there’s more parts to binge eating than just eating a lot of food in a short period of time. More psychology involved such as struggling to control yourself/how much you eat, and likely involving overeating by a lot

  But like, do read up on expert sources than just me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “it’s just a joke” has been the biggest lie of everyone that had ever said it

  Human has a purpose, it introduces ideas, it hits at an undercurrent of communication. It’s never “just a joke”

  Wdym supported for 2 months? It was, and still is, in closed alpha, getting regular updates

  He doesn’t say intellectual pursuits, but more that people are free to actually be themselves, and then, later, maybe even have sex on their own terms

  It’s basically a commentary on societal expectations in social structures such as dating, by following the concepts such as using toys to have a “successful” date to its logical extreme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a shocker!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s .øre that it’s exhausting than anything else

  I don’t want to play a game where people keep telling slurs or being toxic towards others. It just ruins the whole experience

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With a slight addendum, tit for tat is best, while also allowing for an appropriate amount of forgiveness

  Also this short game showcases the concept well ncase.me/trust/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apart, low in cholesterine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Relieving dehydration does increase athletic performance, however

  Now, sure, this might not have any difference compared to plain old water, but the marketing never claimed that!

  And yes this sort of shitty trickery is exactly what they’re doing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I'm bored⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it’s like, I’m not gonna watch a movie when I’m sitting on the toilet or taking a short break on the couch. Same reason for why I go on here when I’m on the tram or similar

  It’s intentionally meant to just be a low effort break activity. You very much can watch or read short-term media with intention

  I keep people repeating this, but where are you getting this information from? I’ve never seen this claim before, and I’ve not noticed this happening when I’ve used itch in the past either?

  You have a 1.6 petabyte SSD?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I know what vacuum decay is, and the thing I referenced, the inflaton field, is a hypothetized false vacuum near the very start of the universe, that went through this exact process, giving rise to our current vacuum and ending the hypothetized inflation era

  I know there’s a hypothesis that our current vacuum could be metastable as well, but that’s a seperate thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Astronomy is critical towards understanding the foundational principles of reality. Observing the universe around us is the guide for where physics should follow

  And I think most people would agree that understanding how our world works, the physics of it all, is very very useful in unforeseen ways. Cannot hope to make a circuit if you don’t know how electricity works, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨well?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is literally what the current big bang theory says! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflationary_epoch?wprov=sf…

  She always gave me off vibes. I didn’t really understand why she got the recognition she did

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'd need to calculate the compound interest⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly why it’d be a curse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨investment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While I get this sentiment, to me it still feels pointless, because it all just seems… boring?

  Because what’s the thrill? That you might win money? But then if you intentionally go in with your sentiment, there is no money to be won. The thrill is gone.

  Why not just play a video game instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's just loss.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s disingenuous. It represents the total share of resource consumption. If something has 2x the biomass, it consumed 2x the materials needed to produce that biomass (purely in terms of the makeup of the body, that is)

  I don’t think count by itself is very relevant. There’s more bacteria in a glass of water than there are humans in a country, but what does that tell you, exactly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s not just pets either, wildlife also gets affected by firework

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cursed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because when you just type “source?” and nothing else people perceive it as you challenging/denying the claim in a slightly hostile manner

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chemistry is weird⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know you wrote H and O, and not H2 and O2, but I’m going to assume the gas forms because those two substances pretty much cannot exist in their pure forms

  And for those, O2 is necessary for our life, and H2 is non-toxic, it’s just very flammable. So I don’t know if the comparison fully works

  Of course, you’re right if you mean pure H and pure O, but, again, they will immediately combine to form a new substance

  Frankly at this point self-diagnosis shouldn’t be as demonized as it is. Because getting a diagnosis is, 1. Expensive, 2. Involved as all hell sometimes, 3. Not all professionals being great, and 4. In certain countries cough the US cough, it gets you literally put on a list

  I say this as someone who is diagnosed. Just preface any statements you make with you not being professionally diagnosed and that you think you might likely have it and such, and you should be fine. Ultimately the point of the diagnosis is to help you. If you feel like the autistic framework is useful to understanding yourself, use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit it and quit it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell yeah. Being a slut is great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hit it and quit it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, it is unironically a good question though. There’s no biological reason for why that can’t happen, and in fact, it would be more efficient! You’d be less exposed to predators etc

  The actual answer is, of course, that there are other reasons for why it’s a longer activity. Such as, for example, it being about social bonding

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The solution to many problems⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never can get anyone to give me a proper definition of processed food that doesn’t include obviously okay stuff like bread or yoghurt. As I wouldn’t call those foods prepared, they’ve been through multiple chemical and biological processes.

  Ultra processes foods is something that tends to be more appropriate I think. That’s stuff like chips or fast food. Though even that I consider fine to eat in moderation, and I, personally, do. Though I agree it would be better if I completely cut those out. I just tend to eat a lot of pre-made foods due to disability reasons (frozen pizzas, pastas, and the like)

  But yeah, I do know that the US has some very lax food laws unfortunately. So maybe that is a big part of the difference

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The solution to many problems⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this is you fighting phantoms. I highly doubt anyone would want to actively help someone die instead like, referring them to a psychologist or therapist or something

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The solution to many problems⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it still leaves store-bought bread out I guess. Or yoghurt. Or milk

  But nah, I really do think it’s extreme. Pre-made food isn’t bad for you

  Either that or I’m just being European, idk

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's bad man⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And nobody forces you to have kids, you know? If anything that’s just saying to make sure to make choices that you will be happy with in your life

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's bad man⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As you grow you will keep appreciating the growing amounts of personal development

  Eventually you think back to when you were worried about turning 25 and you’ll think “why would I ever wanna be 25 again? I had so much less knowledge and experience back then”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A New Headache for Honest Students: Proving They Didn’t Use A.I.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Externalizing all of the difficult thinking to an LLM won’t exactly make you a skilled individual

  So, yeah, if you plan to go to uni to just use LLMs because it’s less challenging to you, then there indeed is no point

  But there’s never no point in actually learning those skills yourself. Just as there’s not no point in learning how arithmetics work, even though you can just use a calculator
