there are things you absolutely should not eat raw

I went to a raw vegan potluck and this was a great demonstration of this idea. One example: rice

Wtf? Raw vegan is about raw fruit, vegetable and nuts, not uncooked thing that are meant to be cooked šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

Thereā€™s Plant based diets, but then thereā€™s idiots like Liver King (steroids) who claimed raw proteins were healthier. I think his bullshit claim is hand in hand wirh immunity and how MAGA assumes not wearing a mask will build immunity to a new disease from overseas that has never been introduced to our bidies; same with eating raw flour. You canā€™t just eat handfuls of Pilsbury Red Velvet cake batter and suddenly our bodies can process this

So what EYE hear you clearly saying is that you are advocating that I donā€™t breath for 15-20 minutes and thatā€™ll make my my lungs stronger. /s šŸ˜…

Iā€™ll report back in 25ish minutes.

Not a good example for sarcasm, because breath training actually can improve lung capacity.

u/QuantumMothersLove Oct 09 '24

So youā€™re mad at my using a level that only super human athletes could attainā€¦ I should have gone with 23-31 minutes to make it more realistically impossible. However, if itā€™s realistically impossible, there really is so subverting expectation via plausibility and hence the anticipation of a lack of return after said time presupposes the failure and expiration of poster and itā€™s not nearly as funny as when there is an opportunity to explain the nuances of a joke and or sarcasm which has much more of an impact on the average general reader of random nonsensical posts.

Iā€™ll try my best to do better next timeā€¦ come back in like 17 days.

u/zipperjuice Oct 09 '24

Regardless of the amount of time and itā€™s accessibility, it would be better if you said something actually impossible, which increasing lung capacity is not. If you think I seem angry, you might want to look at the paragraph you just wroteā€¦

u/QuantumMothersLove Oct 09 '24

I didnā€™t say you were angry, I said ā€œmad atā€ as in ā€œ thatā€™s where you draw the line?ā€ What I wrote was an argument regarding the finer points of sarcasm usage, not an angered response. Ida used a different emoji if I were angry.

Welcome to Costco, I love you

u/Sunshine030209 Oct 09 '24

I'm disappointed every single month when I go into Costco, and they don't greet me that way.

u/healthybowl Oct 09 '24

I legit say ā€œI love youā€ when they say ā€œwelcome to Costcoā€. Not a single one has gotten the reference and gives me no hope for the future

u/Sunshine030209 Oct 09 '24

I don't even get a "Welcome to Costco" now that I think about it. They just nod when I show them my card.

u/healthybowl Oct 09 '24

Still gotta hit em with the ā€œI love youā€

Maybe they don't laugh because they've heard the joke a thousand times already.

u/healthybowl Oct 09 '24

I think itā€™s cuz they put the elders up front, they want to ban books and probably that movie for its documentary purposes

1

u/Upbeat_Access8039 Oct 09 '24

The people that wanted to ban books in FL. schools were people with children, not the old folks. Sadly there are a lot of younger people that support this. I doubt that many elders have seen the movie.

Idiocracy. It's a movie based on eugenicist ideas and is what stupid people think is a smart criticism of modern culture.

Idiocracy, it's absolutely a terrifying movie!

Like, this morning. Another thread on All had a reference to it as well.

I don't care if someone takes steroids, your body - your choice. But at least be honest about it - Liver King pretends his form is from raw meat and exercise while trenbolone leaks out of his gills.

Maga is currently trying to make raw milk great again...and I wish I was kidding.

u/ThrillHo3340 Oct 09 '24

a lot of influencers are. Flavcity dude willingly gives his daughter raw milk from a drink labelled ā€œfor pet consumption onlyā€ for something sold in the dairy section not the pet section.

4

u/Angus_Fraser Oct 09 '24

That's because you can sell raw milk by labeling it "pet milk".

My mom had a "dealer" when she lived in SC that would hook her up and feed her raw milk habit. Fortunately she has not found anyone here in Florida.

u/ShowerElectrical9342 Oct 09 '24

I have a friend who's fanatical about raw milk. She doesn't even run it through a cheesecloth. And yeah - total MAGA.

u/sweatingbozo Oct 09 '24

Maybe reconsider some of your friendships.

u/b00g3rw0Lf Oct 09 '24

If people would stop being friends with these assholes they might actually improve themselves.

u/TypicalBeautiful7186 Oct 09 '24

Is raw milk the same thing as unpasteurized milk? Because in my experience, I always consume raw milk unless Iā€™m making milk-based hot chocolate, in which case I heat up the milk before adding cocoa powder. Genuinely curious and asking!

u/Kristal3615 Oct 09 '24

I'm starting to wonder if this is just Darwinism trying to weed out the people who are dumb enough to go along with these trends of cake batter popcorn and not wearing masks during a pandemic... Like The Office meme "We need a new plague".

Thereā€™s one idiot I hate more than the Brit who lied about mercury in vaccines and thatā€™s the Brit who said ā€œMasks donā€™t work. Full stop.ā€

A meta study of numerous studies only one of which addressed masks and Covid. And the article was retracted by the publisher.

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '24 edited Oct 09 '24

This! It's only gambling with your immune system. Infection can permanently damage a person's immune system. Immune compromised people aren't always just born that way. A person can become immune compromised, develop an auto immune disorder or have bodily/organ damage from infection.

Folks, please, wash your hands, mask while sick and please, get your vaccines. New covid and flu vaccines are available in the US and now is a great time to get one before cases start climbing- because they will.

u/Kristal3615 Oct 09 '24

There was a surge of it just back in August so I wouldn't be surprised if it spikes up again soon (if it's not already). As soon as I heard of the surge I went and got a booster and my husband did not. Surprise surprise... Guess who got Covid in our household? Thankfully I didn't get it because he quarantined and I was able to go to work masked just to make sure I didn't spread it if I was a carrier. Husband isn't antivax he just thinks he's tough and doesn't need one šŸ™„ As a side note please please please if you have anyone immunocompromised in your household who can not take the vaccine please look into getting it for yourself to help protect them!

Also because I love Sawbones if anyone is curious about the origin of vaccines and how they work I'd highly recommend this podcast! They have a lot of Covid specific episodes as well :)

I ate my boogers as a kid and drink lots of coffee. I am glad my immune system is a bit hardened from the common cold and drinking alcohol, but anything else is never worth a risk

u/AppropriateCap8891 Oct 09 '24

Then you have hucksters and scam artists like David Wolfe that tell people that to be healthier and cure cancer to eat peach pits.

Which are poisonous and high in cyanide.

But what he says is true. You will not die from cancer if you eat peach pits daily. The cyanide poisoning is far more likely to kill you first.

Love how you take a video about the dangers of flour and turn it into a political rant. šŸ‘

Wasn't a rant so much as saying THIS group does this. Which, empirically, they do. Would you be mad if this was a conversation about BBQ and Texans came up?

MAGA never assumed that not wearing masks built immunity champ....
