@DrInsensitive Many salt substitutes are potassium chloride. 1/4 teaspoon is about 690mg. I spike my water with it.

The Potassium Holocaust Brought to you by the FDA, for equity. Potassium deficiency is almost universal. Only 3% of the US population gets the FDA recommended 4,700 mg per day. The result is widespread high blood pressure. Some studies have found that even modest potassium supplementation reduces cardiovascular mortality by a whopping ~30%. Grok estimates 20,000-60,000 deaths annually are caused by potassium deficiency, mainly through its effect on blood pressure. That's just in the USA. Obviously, more people should take potassium supplements, so the government stepped in to make that impractical. You see, excess potassium can be dangerous for people with kidney failure, who are disproportionately Black. So FDA regulations effectively limit potassium supplements to 99 mg, which is 2% of the FDA's recommended daily intake. To get the FDA's recommended potassium intake with the biggest supplements the FDA allows, you must take 50 per day. For reference, one 6-oz glass of tomato juice contains 400 mg, which is 8% of the FDA's recommend daily intake, and 400% of the FDA's maximum allowable potassium supplement. grok.com/share/c2hhcmQt…

@themightyjim @CaryKelly11 I think some foods easily trigger more consumption. So yes calories in, calories burned but avoiding some foods might make it far less likely to over consume

@CaryKelly11 Calories. It’s calories. It’s always been calories. The components of your food are just different ways to get calories into your system. If you consume more than you burn you will gain weight. There is no silver bullet. There is no conspiracy.

Sugar should shoulder a large part of the blame for our health problems but something else is promoting obesity. Do you know what it is?

@AngelporrasXx One should are for their parents as long as they are able. When and if it reaches the point you are at then it is ok to place her in a facility. Visit her, check for bedsores and other signs of neglect. Get her the best care there that you can.

Mi madre tiene 85 años y demencia avanzada. No me reconoce, no habla y cuidarla cuesta 5,000 dólares al mes entre enfermeras y medicinas. Ayer tomé la decisión de dejar de pagar. La voy a trasladar a un asilo estatal, de esos que huelen a olvido y limpieza barata. Mi hermana puso el grito en el cielo, me llamó 'hijo desalmado' y dice que ella es la mujer que me dio la vida. Lo que no dice es que ella no pone un centavo porque 'no tiene', pero quiere que yo sacrifique el fondo universitario de mis hijos para mantener un cuerpo que ya no tiene alma. Mi madre siempre dijo que no quería ser una carga. Si ella pudiera verme, me daría la razón. No voy a hipotecar el futuro de los que están vivos por el orgullo de una mujer que ya se fue hace años, aunque su corazón siga latiendo. ¿Soy un monstruo por elegir a mis hijos sobre mi madre moribunda, o soy el único valiente que acepta que hay batallas que ya se perdieron? Prefiero que mis hijos me recuerden por darles una carrera, que por haber gastado su herencia en prolongar la agonía de una extraña. Los leo, sé que la moral les sobra cuando el dinero no es suyo.

@boostedchips @bluewmist Bonus. Ice cream makes people happy.

@bluewmist No alcohol, Ice cream Sandwhich for breakfast. 50+ pounds lost 3x, 80+ pounds lost 1x

People who lost a lot of weight, what was the one small daily habit that actually changed everything for you?

@TrainingInNYC @DrPlantel Well I agree with number 7.

@DrPlantel Here are 4 more: 4. Fluoridated water is a triumph of public health, not a conspiracy. 5. Raw milk is a game of Russian roulette. 6. GMO foods are totally safe. 7. Don't sauna, workout & cold plunge while wearing skinny jeans.

Three things that are somehow controversial that absolutely should not be: 1. You do not need to eat organic produce to be healthier, especially when plenty of people are struggling to eat even a single vegetable in a day. 2.Vaccines are preventive medicine, period. 3.RFK Jr. is an abomination to public health. Dead serious. His rhetoric is dangerous, and people are getting hurt.

@BirdieTweetieac @hell_line0 Few abortions are the result of a triage decision. You didn't make your point.

@Gynx222 @hell_line0 And.... what is the basis on which triage is done, dear? Congratulations, you just discovered the point of the thought experiment, not the point you were trying to make.

Picture this you’re at a hospital in a hurricane. The power has gone out, there is one generator supporting a 6 month old who is currently on life support until they can get them into surgery. There is also a freezer with an embryo in it. There is only enough power for one. Most people are going to unplug the freezer to keep the living breathing baby alive. Congrats now you understand the diffeeence between a baby and a pregnancy

@woofknight While cats eat the food humans buy the food. It's not marketed to the cats.

@hanaamurakami Polite, clean, quality electronics, art, tragic as your civilization appears to be dying.

@Hybridathlete They misspelled brawny. This is the right amount of muscle.

I’ve been called a lot of things on this app, but this is the first time I’ve been called “scrawny.”

@ClimateWarrior7 @lollylollipops2 We started this way before digital scales were super easy to use. It still works so we haven't completely adopted the weight system. Some dedicated people do use a scale instead of volume here.

@lollylollipops2 I'm just trying to learn how they do things in the richest most powerful nation on Earth.

Why are Americans measuring things in cups? All my cups are different sizes. When they're making a recipe, do they seriously pack everything into cups? Why don't Americans have scales?

@Aelthemplaer They have been bred to modify their prey drive Some training is still required. Some fail and can't be used for herding.

How do we explain this other than some kind of transmitted memory? There's no gene for "chase sheep but don't eat them"

@_BEPS1 @TeasMoonlight OMG. This stuff happened to me. I'm so sorry. Box breathing helps me. Brings that heart rate down and makes it quieter.

@TeasMoonlight maybe..my eye has been twitching for 8 days now but i will try to rest even tho every time I close my eyes i can feel my heartbeat

omg I had a wild morning. I was feeling really weird last night, I was shaking and having chills and my heart was crazy. I woke up this morning and heart was so fast and body tingly. I went to urgent care thinking "hey...my electrolytes are imbalanced i think"

@TechOperator @BenandAurora It is perfectly acceptable to post a cat pic on a dog thread, especially if you have a cat but no dog.

@BenandAurora OK OK - one cat.

You can just post a picture of your dog on 𝕏 and other people will reply with pictures of their dogs 🐾

@Moonlight_myths My husband snores. I can not got sleep or stay asleep with that racket. We tried a few things to stop the snoring. It didn't work. I wear earplugs to sleep. It is the simplest most effective remedy.

If your neighbour has a baby, and it cries ALL NIGHT, and it's room-is directly next to yours divided by a wall, is it okay to ask them to move the baby to another room? My alarm goes off at 5am. This baby cries until 2, 3am most nights. I am exhausted. I am ill. I am childless by choice and I DO NOT need this. I understand the mother is tired. But you know what? This was not my choice. I'm experiencing the consequences of her choice and I am no longer understanding of it.

@CeciliaGlennon @slattemar @ReviewsPossum That also works.

@Gynx222 @slattemar @ReviewsPossum Wow, I don't conceive of the pieces that way. The shape itself a concept. I don't say, "Two corners and two things sticking out" or anything like that. It's totally visual to me.

Do you have an inner monologue? Can you rotate an apple in your mind? Can you blur your vision on command?

@Devon_Eriksen_ @cremieuxrecueil Wouldn't the badger have eaten the cantaloupe?

@cremieuxrecueil "This box does not contain a live badger." [opens box] [gets face torn off by badger] "I thought you said there was no badger!" "You're confused. The box didn't contain a live badger, it contained a live badger AND a cantaloupe."

The term "ad hominem" is widely misunderstood. For some reason, there are people who think it means 'throwing around insults', 'laughing at someone', or things of that nature. But that's not at all the case. Here's a helpful explanatory comic:

@elonmusk The thing I find strangest about mars is that it doesn't look all that strange to me.

One day ♥️

@CeciliaGlennon @slattemar @ReviewsPossum I give them names if I'm going to be doing something much. The oblong tabs are tounges. The one that have a flared piece with a point are spades, ect

@slattemar @ReviewsPossum I was doing a jigsaw puzzle the other day looking for a particular shape. There are numerous puzzle shapes. They have no names. How does an internal monologue handle that? Name them?
