  • the idea of percentage based tipping is so wild to me, in my mind a tip is only based on the reason i want to tip them.
    If they did an impressive job but just did their job then i’ll give them a euro or something, if they had to endure something miserable like cleaning up baby vomit then they get like 10 euro because god knows that’s what i’d need to stay on that job.

    Also, importantly, the tip is in cash and goes directly to the person i think deserves it, and i’m going to tell the worker that wink wink nudge nudge if the employer asks then i didn’t give them a tip.







  • but like, every day can be cheat day if you just make healthy food that tastes good…

    and not only is that obviously more enjoyable, but it means there’s 0 temptation to slip back into bad habits because the good habits are self-reinforcing, half the reason i enjoy exercise is because i know it means i can eat more delicious food.



  • It’s so insane to me because i’ve trained myself to be quite in tune with my body’s needs.
    Turns out animals are evolved to seek out the food they need to function and thus we have the ability to actually enjoy healthy food and even get cravings for things with the specific nutrients we need at that point in time.
    Thinking that food shouldn’t be pleasurable is like thinking that a well-functioning diesel engine should be making horrid grinding noises and intermittently release smoke from the gaskets…

    If you just stop eating so much sugar and as much as possible try to cook things from scratch, or at least eat things where you know precisely what ingredients are in it and how it would have been prepared, you should be able to regain the proper feedback from your gut and have a very healthy relationship to food.

    I’d also recommend as often as possible trying to wait to eat until you’re really hungry so you can calibrate your sense of hunger (but like, be smart about it, make sure to eat something if you’re gonna do stuff that needs calories and stable blood sugar levels), and try to taste everything once so your body can associate that thing with the nutrients in it.
    Also also try to sneak in vegetables into every meal in some way, even if it’s just adding 2 peas or whatever. That’ll psychologically and physically normalize it, so you start wanting it more. Your gut flora is a pretty significant part of what decides your cravings and if you consistently eat something the gut flora will change to things that like digesting those things and thus make you crave them more.


  • it genuinely pisses me the fuck off that producers aren’t just putting fibre into everything they can, just use the leftover chaff from making white flour!

    Fibre is the closest thing i know to a magic cure-all supplement, eat more fibre and basically all the little discomforts related to digestion just fucking disappear and you feel generally better and healthier.
    But like it’s really annoying to actually get extra fibre without fairly significant changes to your diet or spending extra on fibre-enriched pasta that’s engineered to be basically identical to normal pasta, and yet there are plenty of products that seem like adding fibre would make no change at all to the texture, like just put some grain chaff powder in muffins!!!







  • come up with a weird supernatural concept and write it in the format of a lab report

    SCP-80085
    Special Containment Procedures: put it in a secure room and don’t fucking touch it.
    Description: SCP-80085 is a McTasty burger as served by the McDonald’s restaurant chain, seemingly immune to rot and decay. Anyone who touches it fucking dies instantly from clogged arteries causing a heart attack.
    Addendum: Somehow Steve survived touching the burger, he took a bite and fucking exploded when he swallowed it, holy shit that’s gonna take some therapy. Burger seems to have regenerated though.
