@MonkeyVerseApe @sciencegirl This made me laugh. I can now say that the monkey-bird is my favorite bird, simply because I hate all monkeys (a hatred I learned after seeing how they attack people).

@sciencegirl The monkey-bird can’t fly for long, but it circles its territory looking for tasty monkeys as treats

@ThisIsBasedNate @thegarybrecka I remember when rice cakes were $1 like 15 years ago. I can't bring myself to buy them now.

@thegarybrecka Fuck. I just crushed some peanut on a rice cake

Why is peanut butter “bad”?? It’s not the health food it’s marketed to be. Peanuts aren’t nuts they’re legumes and one of the highest foods in mold and mycotoxins. On top of that, peanut butter concentrates unstable fats that oxidize and drive inflammation and blood sugar swings. If you tolerate nut butters, cleaner options exist but peanuts are often a non starter.

The world appears to be on the verge of total chaos so here's an Irish woman to cleanse your timeline.

Farmer here. 100% grass fed is unnecessarily boutique and wastefully luxurious. A 100% grass fed beef tasted like a starved 5 year old deer. Gamey, dry and tough. Plus, it takes a pile of additional time to finish the animal. Most importantly - it’s not healthier for the animal. We tried 100% grass fed sheep. The ewes were unhealthy, we lost several moms during lambing and the lambs were poorly developed. Grass feed and pasture the animals. Absolutely. 100%. But they need to be carefully and thoughtfully supplemented with grain. We use non-GMO milo and barley that we grow right on our own operation plus field peas for protein. This cancerous unicorn of a bar that’s being set of 100% grass fed or nothing is hurting the animals, hurting the farmer and isn’t getting the consumer any improved health benefits.

Do you truly understand what Japan just gained? As a Japanese citizen, I’m telling you—this moment changed history. Trump's Pearl Harbor joke wasn't an insult. It was the key that finally unlocked something buried deep in the Japanese soul. For 80 long years, we've carried apology and guilt like a permanent shadow—haunted by the past, bound by the Constitution America wrote for us, forever in "reflection mode." He turned that raw wound into a shared laugh between equals. No more endless atonement. No more vassal shadow. The curse is broken. Japan is free now. Thank you, Mr. President. We're allowed to stand tall again—as true partners, not subordinates. The strongest alliance in the world is rising—equals, brothers, ride-or-die. - @sow413

Utah is so diverse. We have Tren de Aragua AND the Taliban Gang. I’m so glad our government is “not-racist.” If we didn’t have a not-racist government, we might not have been culturally enriched with foregin gangs and terrorists.

John Wesley, a Methodist, spoke on Islam in the 18th century and it 100% applies today. “Destroyers of human kind”

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815. Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did. Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

This whole Mayor Mamdani Muslim thing is getting out of hand in New York City. Oh... wait.. This is Mayor Mendenhall in SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. Your sovereignty as an American has been handed over to Turd World invaders and paid for with your tax dollars. They have better health care coverage than you do. They are trying to erase you. Protect the native ecosystem. Ban invasive species.

We are occupied. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall in a burqa hosting Muslims and celebrating Ramadan at City Hall with SLCPD Chief Brian Redd in the background. This is Utah. Wake Up!

I believe the full quote is apt here... "I studied the Koran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large, there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion infinitely more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself." Tocqueville believed the reason the Koran (Islam) was to be "feared" is that it ties religious doctrine with detailed civil, criminal, and political laws (e.g., rules on governance, war, family, commerce, and punishment). Unlike Christianity (in his view), which focused primarily on spiritual matters and general moral relations between God and man creating more flexibility as it relates to secular governance. Islam, however, prescribes a comprehensive, immutable system that fuses religion and state. This fusion, he believes, creates a rigid, theocratic framework that stifles independent civil society, innovation, and adaptation, and fatalistic elements (e.g., predestination or submission) that discourage human initiative and progress. Therefore, he believed Islam created sociopolitical structures that concentrated power and resisted the separation of powers or democratic evolution and instead of advancing civilization, it perpetuated despotism, intellectual closure, and societal immobility—making it a "decadence" (a decline or corruption) rather than an evolutionary improvement.

@SamaHoole I cook 80% beef patties in 3 tablespoons of butter, then poor the liquid into a bowl and use that to cook scrambled eggs. I eat a bit of dairy and some fruit. It feels amazing.

There's an idea circulating that high-fat carnivore keeps you fat. That you need to swap your ribeye for a chicken breast if you want to get lean. This is wrong. Dangerously, boringly wrong. Lean-only carnivore isn't carnivore. It has a name. It's called rabbit starvation. It was documented in Arctic explorers who survived on nothing but lean game and died anyway, not from cold, not from predators, but from eating protein without fat. Your body cannot run on protein alone. It needs fat for hormones. For brain function. For satiety. For the ten thousand metabolic processes that happen while you're busy worrying about your macros. What lean carnivore actually looks like: low libido. Persistent hunger. Fatigue that doesn't lift regardless of sleep. Muscle loss. Mood that sits somewhere between flat and hostile. What it doesn't look like: results. I got into the best shape of my life last summer. I was eating 20% fat ground beef to satiety, every day, without counting anything, without a deficit that made me miserable, without losing any meaningful muscle. Zero diet symptoms. I was still a functional human being who could train, think, and exist without announcing my suffering to everyone nearby. The fat is not the obstacle. The fat is the point. If you're genuinely prepping for a bodybuilding stage at 6% body fat, fine. Make adjustments. But if you're a normal person trying to lose weight and feel better, you do not need to eat like a Victorian sailor rationing supplies. Eat the fat. Stir the tallow back in. Stop being afraid of the thing your ancestors ate for two million years.

@MMc2515 @SamaHoole Store receipts sounds conspiratorial, but I think it has validity

@SamaHoole Don’t forget to wash your hair with raw eggs and not touch any store receipts either. I used to like him, but he’s just trying to make money now. Good for him, but I’m not buying.

>Be Paul Saladino >Heal your eczema with carnivore >Write a book about how plants are poison >Tell everyone that nose-to-tail is essential so you can sell liver pills at $60 a bottle >Not eating enough fat, eating way too much liver >Things start to nosedive >Start adding honey because your testosterone has collapsed >Tell your audience carbohydrates are actually fine and you've grown >Migrate to 300g of sugar per day and call it ancestral >Tell everyone carnivore was slowly destroying you >Explain that ancestral humans ate carbs because raw meat contains trace glycogen >Confirm Liver King is completely natural, no notes >Liver King is on $11,000 a month of synthetic hormones >Pivot to scaremongering: soap, shampoo, sunscreen, toothpaste, toilet paper >Vegetables turn out to be okay actually >Launch protein bar sweetened with coconut nectar >It is ancestral >You said so >The liver pills are still available >Nothing has been refunded

@Simsburysms @SamaHoole This bot replies every time. Everyone should block him.

This is one of the most underexplained truths in nutritional science. RDAs were built on a baseline of metabolic dysfunction a high-carb, high-inflammation, seed-oil-saturated diet. Of course the nutrient requirements look different when you remove the source of the problem. You don’t need a fire extinguisher in a house with no fire.

The RDAs don't apply on carnivore. Because it's a different fuel state with different needs. The fewer carbs you eat, the less Vitamin C you need. The less seed oil you eat, the less Vitamin E you need. The less Omega 6 you eat, the less Omega 3 you need. The less sugar you eat, the less magnesium you need. The fewer vegetables you eat, the less sodium you need. The fewer phytates and oxalates you eat, the less calcium you need. The RDAs are written for the person following a high-carb inflammatory diet. Those rules don't apply to carnivore. So don't fret if you're not maxxing Cronometer.

@MakeMySammyBish @Lordoftheringsu The eagle that Gandalf was riding picked up one of the Hobbits. The third eagle had no rider and no passenger, but slowed down to observe there was no one else to pick up and flew away with the others.

@Lordoftheringsu I thought Gandolf was riding the third eagle?

Lord of the Rings Fan Theory: Gandalf Sent a Third Eagle To Save Gollum 🦅 You know the scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King where Gwaihir, Landroval, and Meneldor come to rescue Frodo and Sam from Mount Doom? Well, there’s this idea that the third eagle, Meneldor, was actually meant for Gollum. The theory is that Gandalf still believed Gollum had a part to play, and maybe hoped he could somehow be redeemed.

An American president on the core principle of Islam: “The fundamental principle of the Mohammedan religion is, that the sword is the key of heaven and of hell. A portion of the followers of Mahomet are promised paradise, if they die in war against the infidels; and are threatened with damnation, if they do not engage in such war. The essence of the doctrine is violence and lust: to exalt the brutal appetites of man over the spiritual faculties; to sanctify the indulgence of them by the rewards of paradise, and to punish the denial of them by the pains of hell.” — John Quincy Adams

@Anya101476 @newstart_2024 calling Peterson “addicted” is inaccurate and stigmatizing, because he used prescribed doses and became trapped due to neurological damage and severe withdrawal, not because of abuse or seeking a high. youtube.com/watch?v=C_32ic…

@MetaMetolious @newstart_2024 He took benzodiazepines, a highly addictive class of medication, daily to help manage the stress of his wife’s cancer dx. That’s at the root of his health problems. He should have known better, having a PhD in Psychology.

Jordan Peterson drops a chilling clinical observation after decades as a psychologist: “I have never seen anyone ever get away with anything at all, even once.” He explains: You twist the fabric of reality with a lie, a betrayal, a hidden act — and it doesn’t snap back immediately. You think you escaped. Then 2 years later something unravels, you get walloped, and you cry “that’s so unfair!” But when you trace it back: This → this → this → oh… that’s where it went wrong. Reality always collects the debt — it just has longer payment terms than you expect. 59-second gut-punch — Peterson on why “getting away with it” is an illusion. When was the last time you saw (or felt) the universe quietly balance the books on someone who thought they’d slipped the hook? Your thoughts — drop them below. No judgment here.

@Anya101476 @newstart_2024 Peterson developed “benzodiazepine-induced neurological dysfunction,” a form of neurotoxicity and brain injury now recognized by FDA (since 2019), which is different from addiction. Peterson was taking benzodiazepines at typical therapeutic doses during extreme stress
