  • Fake "Pure Butter" Strikes again

    Jump

  • Fairly common in Asia for butter not to be butter but disguised vegetable oil. I've been tricked before, but this is the first time with a "pure butter" label. Real and pure have different meanings I guess.

  • Did you know that the Irish will only put a maximum of 239 beans in soups or stews?

    Jump

  • @gmtom@lemmy.world

    A gross is 144 of something, beyond gross is more then 144.

    239 beans is more then a gross of beans but less then too (two) gross of beans.

    This joke is beyond gross, yet not too gross.

    This is funny because it uses two different meanings of gross to subvert a readers initial expectations in a delightful way. This is often considered humor. Dad humor.

  • Two days of oatmeal reduce cholesterol level

  • Almost all checkups do a lipid panel. You just have to look at your triglycerides and your HDL, take the ratio of them TG over HDL. You want that to be less than two, and for bonus points you want that to be less than one. Anything above two you have room for improvement. This ratio is a fairly good analog for insulin sensitivity and metabolic health.

    Signs of poor metabolic health:

    • obesity
    • high blood pressure
    • Ed
    • snoring
    • fatty liver
    • skin tags
    • diabetes

  • Basically, those people were not going with you. I wouldn't consider them your friends. Friends would at least tell you they are bailing so you don't go

  • Any game, find a community, or start your own, the hard part is moderating and finding other like-minded people, but if you're consistent over time, you'll accrete a community with you.

  • Two days of oatmeal reduce cholesterol level

  • The problem with a lot of these papers is they use intermediate endpoints rather than actual hard end points. They're making the assumption that decreasing LDL is a good thing. That's an intermediate endpoint, nobody actually cares about their LDL, they care about their health span and lifespan.

    Spoiler: LDL and Cholesterol in general is not a disease, it's poor metabolic health that is the actual cardiovascular problem.

    I.e. https://doi.org/10.3390/metabo14010073 Oreo cookie treatment lowers LDL cholesterol more than high-intensity statin therapy in a lean mass hyper-responder on a ketogenic diet: a curious crossover experiment

    This stunt paper illustrates how silly it is to focus on a intermediate metric. Oreos are not health food, I should hope that is obvious

  • My LDL is the only thing wrecking my score.

    Cholesterol, and LDL specifically, are not a disease. If you're metabolically healthy, LDL is good for you. Check your insulin sensitivity (homa-ir, or tg/HDL ratio, or fasting insulin) to see what type of ldl you have.

    Cholesterol is necessary. You will die without cholesterol. Cholesterol is produced in the liver, delivers fat throughout the body, and then gets recycled in the liver. If something damages the cholesterol during this process, oxidation, or glycation, the LDL will not be recycled by the liver. This is one of the patterns of elevated LDL, it's the damage LDL that's the problem, it's the systematic damage in your body. The LDL isn't the fault. It's a symptom. If your LDL isn't damaged (as seen by insulin sensitivity) then it's really not a problem.

  • Yeah we all play the same game, but over times it's a digital bar, you know everybody

  • Meeting up with people, no phone. You arrange a place and a time, and you show up, if the other person isn't there... You wait.

    It was super important not to leave people hanging

  • Find any place with people that you can frequent. It doesn't even have to be in real life.

    I have a discord gaming group, we do annual meetups globally, when someone died we did a whip round and a service... Community is wherever you spend your time

  • The one called "Threat Modeling", you map capabilities of the target, not it's intentions.

    Thanks to parallel construction they will only say that a person of interest gave them access to the group, they won't disclose they constructively know who is in the group, who joined when, and decrypted messages from cloud infrastructure

  • A terrifying 20,282 games were released on Steam in 2025, and just 608 managed to get 1,000 reviews, expert finds: "We might be in a bit of an indie golden age"

    Jump

  • It's a good thing for a marketplace to have many options. As long as steam keeps discovery working well then its totally fine. Lots of people throw up their first game (from a game tutorial) onto steam as a learning experience, they aren't expecting to make any money. Posting your highschool programming project on steam feels cool.
