Little Lion Cub was cross. He wanted to be king of the savannah, instead of these baboons or whatever. “Father,” he mewed, “Why am I not hardy like Armadillo? He has armor plating, but I am soft and squishy.” “Armadillo’s safety is enviable,” his father agreed. “Then why can’t I be like Falcon? He dives from the sky and takes whatever he wants, and I don’t even have wings. I’m stuck on the ground,” Little Lion Cub moaned. “Falcon is indeed the freest of animals,” his father conceded. “I want to be like Sloth! I only get to eat once in a while and it’s always picked-over bones. He eats fresh food all day and sleeps whenever he wants and barely has to move!” Little Lion Cub demanded. “Are you fu— Now see here, Little Lion Cub,” his father admonished him sternly. “What do you think those animals would say about you?” “That I’m gay and retarded,” cried Little Lion Cub. That night, his father brought him a large blob of something wet, fizzy and rank. He dropped it in front of Little Lion Cub with a ‘plop.’ “Eat,” father commanded. “It is fermented bison organs.” Little Lion Cub wasn’t sure that he’d like it because of the smell. But he trusted his father, who, unbeknownst to him, was indeed Jupiter’s dread sovereign over all Africa. And just soon as he swallowed the last bite, millions of years of evolution kicked in, and Little Lion Cub knew just what to do about those stupid baboons. He knew it so instinctively that he didn’t even need human consciousness. He just did it. Because this isn’t a story for young lions. This is a story for young men, who require to be led by the nose.

@NPCLife3 @NoahRevoy Either a big mistake, or a very successful strategy to eviscerate the middle class

@TimothyBCE @NoahRevoy Allowing the entire world to compete for American jobs was a big mistake.

Millions of millennial men got married following boomer-coded advice from their parents, only to discover ten years later that the rules had changed, their wives were feminists, and what their fathers generation considered doing a great job as a husband and father was now considered insufficient by modern women. Now they are all getting divorced. It is a massive civilisational tragedy.

@RobDouglas Too late, already got ripped the old fashioned way. But by all means do drugs, it’s basically the same outcome

Pro Tip: If you’re significantly overweight, steer clear of any weight loss “expert,” company, or program that doesn’t incorporate a GLP-1 as part of your program.

@Coffeekiller100 They feed their ego but starve their id

Why are you half-repping 800 lbs on the leg press to feed your ego when deep, full-range squats with half the weight yield vastly superior mechanical tension and hypertrophy?

@Mangan150 @APompliano Maybe they should print more dollars and then everything won’t be so expensive

@APompliano It's a mystery

Everyone knows things got more expensive, but no one knows why.

@TheDudeUpNorth Rangefinder ftw

Only hit my stupid head like every other rep on that stupid white pipe.

Here at last was a tree with enough fallen fruit to skill up on. But I did not have my spear so I improvised with Chinese Boxing.

@exQUIZitely Magazine games made me an elite master coder at age 8 but unfortunately it’s all been downhill since then 🥔

Did you tinker with code back in the day? If you're old enough you will probably remember the days reading about programming/coding in magazines. They often included several pages of code that you could type in to create "your own" little program/game. None of those programs were overly complex or particularly great, but that wasn’t the point. It was simply fascinating to see that if you wrote this, then that happened. If you tweaked a value here, a color would change there. Add an extra parameter and the result looked even better - or it all fell apart, depending on what you changed. I remember one of the earliest programs I wrote in BASIC was a number guessing game. You had 5 guesses and started by entering a number between 1 and 100. The program would then tell you "too high" or "too low" relative to the random number it had generated for that session. I changed parameters that were easy to identify in the code (as a 9 year old that would make me feel incredibly smart at the time), such as the number of tries you had, the range of the random number, and - what made me especially proud - I even modified the computer's replies. Instead of just "too high" or "too low," it would now give more precise feedback (e.g. way too high, too high, a little bit too high, etc.). All of this sounds extremely trivial from today's perspective, but it was a playful way to explore what was possible. I continued writing programs in BASIC and later dabbled in Turbo Pascal. It never went much further than that, but it remains one of my best memories from a time when computers felt more fascinating and accessible - they made you curious and invited you to be creative. Did you tinker with code, type some sample game code from magazines?, or try to "hack" games because you were curious?

@ZachBrowne @a7las1984 Don’t expect gratitude

@TimothyBCE @a7las1984 .00001 people like us

If you can't easily deadlift 3x your wife's bodyweight for reps... I have bad news...

@e_cdalton @llsamuelj Baker is great, super curious what his program will do for you! Everyone should do the proper carnivore experiment

@llsamuelj Going carnivore. Signed up with Shawn Baker's coaching service to hit the ground running

A lot of people think they can outrun this

@ZachBrowne @a7las1984 The absolute state of Western Civilization right now 🤌

@TimothyBCE @a7las1984 This didn’t come out quite like I intended…

@a7las1984 @ZachBrowne That is amazing to hear! Once you dig your first beach furniture there’s no going back 🏰

@TimothyBCE @ZachBrowne 💯 I can't imagine the weight of some of those things you make! I'm going on a beach vacation in about 6 weeks and you have inspired me to bring a flat shovel

@RegalChicken @BowTiedYukon So exciting. We always wonder what we might have done with a hot start and now you are watching it happen. I think you’re right that training yourself has become the best thing you can do from him. Let him learn by example!

@TimothyBCE @BowTiedYukon I'm more excited about his PRs than mine now. he's going to start his senior year here in a month and he will probably catch my bench press this year so my goal is TRY to stay ahead of him for as long as possible to keep pushing him to beat his dad.

Currently at the barber shop with my 3 sons Fat guy in the chair is talking to his barber: “Yeah I’ve got a son so it’s hard to get to the gym” Me:

@a7las1984 @ZachBrowne If we could deadlift sandcastles I would retire

@TimothyBCE @ZachBrowne Then he must deadlift 1x a sandcastle

@Kxngstn_ @Musclemanhh I only eat dinner and look like the Michelin man with one tire

Fact or cap?

@DrSeanOMara That’s why we ferment it into short chain fatty acids

Remember, even carnivores eat carbs. Liver contains up to 60g of carbohydrates per serving (glycogen).

@ZachBrowne @a7las1984 Then you deadlift 1.5x his mom

@a7las1984 What if you don’t even have a wife?

@CharleyMufasa They don’t realize that people get hungry for different things when they’re lean and healthy instead of overweight and ill. Doughnuts are a great example. Where’s the protein 🍽️

The moment you say, I DON'T EAT JUNK, they hear, "I'm better than you." Nobody blinks when someone says they don't smoke or don't drink, but somehow saying you skip pastries is where they draw the line. Eat your DOUGHNUTS in peace. Let me eat my CHICKEN BREAST in peace. We all answer to our BLOODWORK eventually. 😂

@goinggodward It’s how they know you’re not an AI fake 👌

Is anyone else bad at leaving voicemails? I end up saying the most jumbled up nonsense EVERY TIME.
