@moe69367922 @ThinkingMunk are you sure that’s not somewhat of an over-generalization

man I feel bad for the Iranians who trusted the US not to fuck this up spectacularly

@Tumpelo_ @Capt_Patavius @sighyam truckers famously are awake at natural circadian-aligned hours as well

Apart from literally causing skin cancer, derms know prolonged sun exposure accounts for like 80% of extrinsic ageing. But the anti-science crowd would rather moisturise with beef tallow and fry themselves in the sun than listen to professionals.

scenes from a dermatologist conference in hawaii imagine thinking the sun, the source of all life on earth, that plants turn to and animals seek out, that makes you feel & look better every time you spend time in it... this is insanity

Cholesterol causes heart attacks and strokes, statins prevent them
Sunlight causes skin cancer, sunscreen prevents it
The people telling you otherwise are fools.

@bizlet7 this meme is a load bearing structure for the entire field of dermatology

Trucker who spent 40 years having one side of his face blasted by the sun.

@sighyam UV damage isn't linear and cumulative in individuals just because it looks like that in a cohort of people who eat seed oils and wear sunglasses
English
@sighyam if you can modify the outcome to zero by being mindful and having good habits then UV driving ageing markers is a statistical artifact. most people have dysfunctional circadian hardware and need unfiltered sun exposure to properly address it
English
@sighyam the evidence for how skin damage actually happens is science, not anti-science, and these people took it as their foundations are profiteering off of it by being extreme and edgy. it doesn’t make them “anti-science” just because they’re pushing their epistemology to its limits
English
@sighyam ok so the people that slather in beef tallow and are “frying themselves” are tokenizing themselves for engagement
English
@sighyam the issue is of course nuanced and no one likes that. you do have to mediate your direct exposure, control duration, and consume sufficient nutrients like saturated fat to repair your largest organ. people need to be taught how to teach their skin to harness the sun’s energy.
English
@sighyam skin health/appearance, vitamin d production, across the board. demonzing the sun is absurd
English
@sighyam the sun is only the most powerful driver of extrinsic ageing if your skin’s cell walls are full of linoleic acid

@yoursimmo11 what if the habit you're trying to maintain is employment under fluorescent lights, genius
English
"Biggest cheat code." Putting plastic on your face so you can keep doing the thing that's destroying your sleep instead of just... not doing it. Your body doesn't need a filter. It needs you to put the phone down. Blue light blockers are a permission slip to maintain the habit that's wrecking you. That's not a cheat code. That's a cope.
Dan Go@CoachDanGo
The biggest cheat code is wearing bluelight blockers at night, especially if you go on screens. The bluelight from the screen sends a signal to your brain that it's time to wake up. Not what you want to do at night. Bluelight blockers block that light, helping you sleep.

@PeptoState @Hezbolsonaro most pressingly we need nuclear reactors. this is not a walk and chew bubblegum situation

@PeptoState @Hezbolsonaro that we should not in fact be building lunar rovers or doing foreign aid money laundering when every metropolitan centre is full of homeless people and it will get precipitously worse when gas stays above $2/L. we need government works projects and public transit

@Logo_Daedalus the keys will continue to jingle until morale improves

As long as the capital flows for the next few years, America is simply going to leapfrog the current era of manufacturing and build everything that the economy wants at any given point essentially as fast as physically possible and to whatever scale we can pay the atoms for
