@D4RW1NEXE @bryan_johnson Elite ball knowledge

Spermatogenesis runs on a strict 74 day cycle. Your 3-day motility collapse shows you paralyzed mature sperm sitting in the epididymis through direct 5-HT2A receptor saturation. 20 day drop in total count is simply your body clearing out that dead cohort. Pull your metrics at day 90 to prove whether actual testicular production was altered.

Two doses of magic mushrooms degraded my sperm count from the 99.6th percentile to the 77.7th. This may be a first-in-human observation. Context: we ran the most quantified magic mushroom (psilocybin) experiment ever conducted. We were asking if psilocybin is a longevity therapy. After seeing the data, we think it is (see reply post for the experiment summary). Also, like most things biology: the results are complicated. My data suggests that the magic mushrooms (psilocybin) negatively impacted my fertility markers. Before the first psilocybin dose my motile sperm count was at 99.6th percentile for men under 25 years of age, it dropped to 77.7% and partially recovered to 89.3% following the first dose, and second doses, compared to the same age cohort (numbers compare similarly to my age cohort as well). 3 days following my second dose (first dose 25 mg, second dose 28 mg) . Motility: dropped 51% . Total count: almost unchanged, dropped by 2% . Total motile count: dropped 52% . Normal morphology: dropped by 50% 20 days post 2nd dose, the pattern continued, with typical latent effects on total sperm counts Motility: recovered back to -2% of pre-psilocybin baseline: . Total count: dropped by 38%, latent effect. . Total motile count: remained inhibited at -39% of pre-psilocybin baseline, (despite motility normalizing, due to the total count drop) . Morphology normalized to -10% of baseline levels. Reduction in free testosterone might have contributed to the effect. While total serum testosterone increased by 30% 3 days following the 2nd dose (neither FSH or LH were meaningfully affected either), and continued to be at 11% above baseline, SHBG increased by 37%, SHBG binds testosterone and reduces its bioavailability and activity. My free testosterone (direct) showed 24% and 23% drops at 3 and 20 days post 2nd dose. In light of the neuroplastic, well-being, brain reset, and systemic metabolic and anti-inflammatory benefits, the trade-off is probably worth it. Especially considering that the magnitude of inhibition has no meaningful effect on actual fertility (total motile counts above 50 million are still on the safe side). This is a first-in-human observation, to our knowledge there is no published human clinical study demonstrating that psilocybin diminishes male fertility markers. General mechanistic evidence exists for recreational and psychoactive drugs possibly inhibiting fertility markers due to their effects on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis and general hormonal reset.  Yet no direct evidence for psilocybin or other similar psychedelics inhibiting fertility markers exist. A potential mechanism for the immediate inhibition of motility could involve direct serotonergic signaling in sperm. Human sperm express multiple serotonin receptors, including 5-HT2A, and one recent study found that a 5-HT2A antagonist reduced sperm motility, suggesting that 5-HT2A may regulate motility. Psilocybin is known to bind 5-HT2A with high affinity.

@AngelaGraceLOU @Cr7Godbrand @willyseggs Who escaped the Titanic?

@Cr7Godbrand @willyseggs Do you think women sat around and ate bonbons in the past?

Modern men grew up alongside women. We went to the same schools, were raised by educated mothers, sisters, and aunts. We shared the same classrooms, the same environments, and the same opportunities. We entered the digital world together…joining platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter at the same time. “No barriers” We built friendships, relationships, and experiences side by side. “Bodily autonomy” We knew women who lived freely, made their own choices, pursued careers, owned homes, and shaped their own lives. In our everyday reality, there was no clear system where we were actively oppressing anyone or taking rights away until social media came. Yet now, we are told to take responsibility for an alleged oppression we never participated in…things that happened generations before us. When we ask when this happened, we’re pointed to the past. But that raises a question: are modern men meant to answer for history they didn’t create? We are not reincarnations of the past, and we don’t carry the actions of previous generations. Accountability should be based on what a person does, not what others did long before they were born. Respect, care, loyalty, and protection should not be automatic or demanded based on history alone. In today’s world, they should be mutual and earned…given through actions, just as they are expected in return. The past should not be used as a tool to extract unearned privileges in the present. History deserves to be understood, but not weaponized. Moral responsibility belongs to those who acted, not to those who merely came after.

@GregBaldwinIroh I personally don't put the beans on the bread, because the sauce makes the bread soggy, which I hate. They go next to the bread and only meet on your fork. If you want to make it fancy, try a sprinkling of cheddar cheese on top and/or bbq sauce mixed into the beans.

British blokes…. I’ve purchased several “tins” of Heinz (British) beans because the idea of beans on toast intrigues me. I eagerly anticipate a tasting. Other than toasting bread and heating beans… Are there any other steps/ingredients?

@Isosceles_ing @SCHIZO_FREQ @Mimiifufu Why is she wearing lacy pink lingerie then?

@SCHIZO_FREQ @Mimiifufu Other people with eating disorders in a space for those with eating disorders. This is common practice as it’s kind of difficult to show your body without, you know, showing your body. The only reason this blew up is because OTHERS had sexual intent, not her.

The way women thirst trap tells you a lot about their mental health “Us at the beach!” - this is as close to “mentally sound” as women can get “looked hot last night so thought I’d share!” - she’s doing public empowerment affirmations. Not ideal “I am a hideous unfuckable chungus. My bone structure relegates me to the permanent underclass. Men: here are some pictures of me almost naked. PLEASE reply with sexual interest or I’M GOING TO KILL MYSELF” - you need at least three concurrent psychological issues before your brain even unlocks the ability to write captions like this. Basically the holy grail of mental illness

@curiosityonx This is evil

@MaryfulOfGhosts @wynrosei What the fuck are you reading? Very few people have the issue of constantly ending up reading graphic rape scenes by accident. This seems like a self report.

@wynrosei Unless something like that is CRITICAL to a storyline, it's never necessary, and even if it is, why do writers always go the full nine yards and describe it in graphic detail? There's no god damn need other than shock value and borderline fetishism

If you feel like it's ok to depict rape for the sake of "realism" then you should ask yourself why you don't also want to depict diarrhea, which is also real. If your answer is "nobody wants to watch someone have diarrhea" take a moment to think about what you just said

@MeaningfulBuddy @wynrosei @sappholives83 Name 5 examples

@wynrosei @sappholives83 i have always thought this… wtf is hollywood obsessed with extended r*pe scenes ?

Can we please stop with the 'it was legal for a husband to rape his wife' bullshit? Yes. Marital rape was not a specific crime until 1991, meaning a 'husband raping his wife' would be prosecuted under a different law – typically ABH or assault. Obviously, this is still not okay, but it's very different to it being 'legal' to rape your wife. FYI – A man couldn't be legally 'raped' by anybody until 1995, and still cannot be raped by any woman, wife or otherwise, in any capacity, still TO THIS DAY. You are harboring more outrage for a 35-year-old grievance that you completely misunderstand, than you do for an entirely real one, that exists in UK law right now. Also whilst we're at it – It was married women who were often unable to open bank accounts without their husband's signature, not 'women'. This also meant that, under coverture, the husbands to those women were legally liable for her debts, including debts accrued before even being married; with the men often prosecuted, and even held financially hostage by said wives. History is not black and white. It was a mixed bag of privilege and disadvantage, felt in many ways, by both men and women. We don't need this lazy, feminist-revisionist caricature of history, stinking up social media with yet more mindless, inaccurate outrage. Read a book on history, or step out the conversation. Thanks.

@RupertLowe10 They are perfectly capable of understanding the difference between a religious Jew, an ethnic Jew, and an Israeli. They are pretending not to understand the difference between the British ethnicity, culture and nationality on purpose.

If I moved to Japan, and lived in Japan for decades, speaking the language, integrating into society, contributing to the economy. Would I be ethnically Japanese? No. No I would not. I would never pretend to be. Nor would that apply to India, Thailand, Mexico, Denmark or anywhere else. So why is England different? Of course there is an English ethnicity. I am entirely bemused by how so many argue against that. It’s just a fact. Politicians who say otherwise are cowards. This is painfully obvious. Restore Britain’s position is clear. English ethnicity exists - it’s the only sodding data point that the Government collects on anything. Of course someone who is not of that ethnicity can be British, obviously. But it equally does not mean that the English ethnicity is imaginary. Those two things can be true at the same time. I got in trouble years ago for suggesting that the footballer Paul Pogba was French, but not ethnically French. It’s insanity. That is just a factual position. Common sense, clearly. Separately, Restore Britain has said from the very start - owning a British passport does not make you British. We have seen how lazily those documents have been frittered away. Holding that piece of paper does not automatically make you British, we are very clear on that. Is the Egyptian lunatic Alaa Abd El-Fattah British? He has a passport. Restore Britain says NO. No, he is not and he should be stripped of that paper and deported. Being British encompasses so much more than that, it means so much more than that. It is not simply a piece of paper. It is culture, shared beliefs, patriotism, language, a common understanding of what is right and wrong. That has nothing to do with ethnicity, obviously. But for even daring to suggest that English ethnicity exists I’ll be roundly attacked. It is just a fact. Every other country in the world manages to acknowledge ethnicities exist without descending into hysteria. England should be able to do the same.

@johnkonrad We are occupied by a hostile power

I have a confession. I loved the UK. I’ve read every James Bond novel. Watched every film twice. I love their naval history, their deadpan humor, their novelists. Maybe it’s because I grew up poor, but my parents saved for years to take me to London when I was five. My mom’s family traces back to colonial Britain. I’ve been to Buckingham Palace. Met the royals. I even love their mediocre food. Bangers and mash, yum! And my grandfather, who navigated B-24s, kissed the ground when he landed back on British soil. I visited the spot. I kissed the ground too. And my dad, a fireman in the Bronx, hosted exchange fireman from Sheffield who filled our house with laughter and camaraderie that overshadowed the complaints from Irish Catholics at our church. 49 years of genuine love and respect. Not performance. Not anglophilia. Real. So it genuinely pains me to say this: I am struggling, right now, today, to give a single shit about them. I spent a week there this summer with my daughter trying to rekindle that appreciation in me. Mostly failed. UK friends, I’m not being rhetorical. I’m asking sincerely. Give me one reason. Not 1944. Not the Special Relationship as a concept. A reason for today. Give me one half a sh!t reason. Because I’m looking and I’m coming up with nothing.

To any future historians reading this, this era will make a lot more sense if you remember that every name is the opposite of what it really is. The antifascists are fascists, the antiracists are racists, the fact-checkers are propagandists, etc. Hopefully this has been fixed by your time.

@seenloitering @ArtemisConsort Right because you can't, it was a red herring.

@Enlibriated @ArtemisConsort No.

“Can men get pregnant?” Why people ask it, why it’s perceived as a disingenuous question, and why it’s actually a good one. “Can men get pregnant?” is usually asked to progressives championing the scientific/institutional establishment as a way of pointing out a topic on which the establishment has gone totally off the rails. Progressives see it as disingenuous because *no one* actually believes men can get pregnant, if we’re using the standard definition of “men”. Rather, they think some women identify as men, and that either they are men in some vague ephemeral sense or that at minimum it’s good and moral to play along with their identity. They think the people asking “can men get pregnant” don’t understand this, that they believe progressives believe an actual male human can get pregnant, which they don’t. But most skeptics of gender ideology - the belief that gender identities represent some deep and true and important fact about people that should, in most contexts, supplant or override their sex - DO understand this. What we’re pointing out is that people who claim the mantle of scientific skepticism are so committed to an evidence-free metaphysical belief in gender identity that they will steadfastly refuse to speak in plain language, will refuse to use or even acknowledge the common definitions of words that have applied in all cultures and for all of time until very recently (and I know the supposed counterexamples - they don’t hold up). They would rather retreat into sophistry and obscurantism rather than trespass gender ideology which, despite their claims, is not evidence-based. We know you don’t believe men can get pregnant. We’re pointing out that you’re unable to state this plainly because you’re in a cult.

@seenloitering @ArtemisConsort What the fuck do high heels have to do with anything? Show me a source contemporaneous with that change who mentions a distinction between sex and gender.

@Enlibriated @ArtemisConsort Nonsense. High heels are coded female; they used to be coded male. This stuff isn't even hard. Just stop being obtuse.

>someone: "do you know what that animal went through for you" >me: "go on" >them: "confined in a tiny stall its entire life" >me: "right" >them: "standing in its own waste" >me: "okay" >them: "pumped full of hormones and antibiotics" >me: "continue" >them: "never seeing sunlight, never feeling grass" >me: "mm" >them: "fed a diet of corn and soy it wasn't designed to eat" >me: "and" >them: "living in a state of chronic stress from birth to slaughter" >me: "are you done" >them: "I just think you should know what your food went through" >me: "I'm in Cheshire mate" >them: "..." >me: "the farm is about nine miles that way" >them: "but factory farming..." >me: "Britain doesn't have factory farms" >them: "the industry,.." >me: "it's a field" >them: "globally..." >me: "I'm not eating globally" >them: "the system..." >me: "the system is a farmer called Dave and about sixty Herefords" >them: "you can't know that" >me: "I can trace it from the label" >them: "..." >me: "the cows were outside" >me: "doing cow things" >them: "..." >me: "it was fine" >them: *goes back to consult vegan documentary*

@seenloitering @ArtemisConsort Sex and gender are the same thing, this distinction is as nonexistent as the difference between mind and soul.

@ArtemisConsort Not necessarily. Gendering terms are ambiguous, so people can say a woman (in terms of sex) is a man (in terms of gender) without contradiction. Many such cases.

@reformparty_uk A rebellious Reform staffer unblocked my account, and I have waited for the right moment to strike. This is it. You tried to put me in prison for backing mass deportations, Farage admitted it. There is one party that will send the third world criminals home. Restore Britain.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government: "Don't care. Pay up." You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received. Next month? That card drops back to $50. Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs. That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax... Now picture this. Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off. But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have. So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday. Gone. To pay a tax on money that was never real. Now picture the opposite. Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it. Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000. He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore. Does the government give him his money back? No. Does the government give him his truck back? No. Does the government care? No. They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine. You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive. You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things. It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday. They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created. There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate. I hope you understand what's at stake.

Restore Britain will not pretend that a man wearing a dress is a woman. We’re just not going to do that. We will not deny biological reality, we will not indulge this madness. Men will be banned from women’s sports, categorically and absolutely. Women’s private spaces will be protected, unequivocally. If a man enters a women’s toilet, that will be treated as the invasive act that it is. Biological men will not be placed in women’s prisons, under any circumstances. This filth will be kept away from children. Any teacher or medical professional pushing the idea that a child is born in the wrong body will be sacked, and they will be prosecuted. We will not tolerate it. Any doctor found to have given vulnerable children mutilating surgery or puberty-blocking poison will be struck off and put in prison. That vile flag will be banned from public sector buildings, ESPECIALLY schools. Restore Britain will protect women, and Restore Britain will protect children. Without apology. If you agree, I hope you consider joining our party.

A fair few, including many on the so-called 'right' of British politics, have been throwing around the usual insults about the fact I said 'millions must go'. Let me respond with four words. GET USED TO IT. Restore Britain is not going to pussyfoot around. If you don't like it, unfollow me. I really don't care. The time for half-measures on immigration is SO far gone. It's over. It's done. That may have worked in 2010. It's 2026 and the barbarians are already in the gates. We will be unapologetic in our push for mass deportations - nobody can accuse me of being inconsistent on that. The other parties had to be pathetically dragged kicking and screaming to some mild deportation position. If you want the real authentic version, then join Restore Britain.

More and more young white men are looking at Britain, how the ENTIRE country operates, and thinking - why does EVERYBODY ELSE seem to get a helping hand? What have we done wrong? The answer lads, is absolutely nothing. How many young white men have lost out on decent jobs exactly because they are male, and exactly because they are white? Tens and tens of thousands. Likely more. It is institutional and systemic bias against white British men. Anti-white racism is thriving in Britain. Poisonous DEI infects our institutions and corporations. Quotas steal professional opportunities away from bright young men who deserve it. The education system, stacked against you - the forgotten working class white lads who nobody even thinks about, nobody even talks about. Blocked from universities, taught to be ashamed of who you are. The rot MUST end. In the justice system? Who gets the raw end of the deal? Young white men. They tried to implement sentencing guidelines that directly target you, and put you in prison over somebody else for the exact same crime. It is ENDLESS. It seems everyone has a ‘protected characteristic’ apart from you. Under a Restore Britain Government, it will all end. The woke bullshit will end, I promise you that. You now have a political party that will fight for you. We would tear away all of the vile legislation that has made Britain such a hostile and unwelcoming place to its own young men. Our message is clear. There is NOTHING wrong with being white, and there is NOTHING wrong with being male. You’re told that you’re racist for loving your country, chauvinistic for enjoying a few beers at the football, bigoted for having a joke with your mates. It must all end. We must restore confidence to an entire generation of young white men who have been entirely forgotten and let down by the rotten political establishment. My advice is this. Keep working hard, learn a skill, be respectful, have fun, and despite everything - enjoy yourselves. Keep going. It will get better. You now have a political party that properly represents you. Restore Britain.
