Funny how skin cancer disproportionately affects white people living in sunny areas, I guess that's another one of Yakub's little jokes

"I love the sun. It's great, right? I can look at it any time I want. But ya gotta be smart. Lotsa people don't know this but I told Daedalus - I told him 'Look, wings made of wax won't work. I got an airline - use that.' But Daedalus didn't listen to me. And his son, Icarus, flew-flew-flew up the sky. And then - you know what? Then he crashed and died. Sad."
I'll let my dad know he had to have half his face cut out because he's soy fed. 
My diet is only animal fat, not even meat, just the fat. Breakfast lunch and dinner. My eyeballs are greasy, and my tears are just 100% tallow. I don't even drink water. Because of this, i can stare at the sun for hours a day and have no issues. I've never had a sunburn. Wake up people.
I would love to live like those coastal lizards where you don't have to do very much thinky. You sit in the sun, maybe eat something, and listen to the waves instead of doing the same with social media
The waves: "Actually, Joe Biden has accomplished a lot! Trump is going to be even worse to Palestinians!"
This is like 1 or 2 steps removed from the "functional medicine" fuckheads that my mom was introduced to a year or two ago and is now pretty into. Thankfully she's not at the point of eating red meat and butter and eggs exclusively but there's some kooky stuff in there and the fact that you can find licensed doctors promoting every fucking variety of horrible misinfo makes my blood boil
Even if that was true (it's not, long term exposure to UV rays from the sun causes skin cancer), sun damage is still a thing. I live in a super sunny country, I don't want my skin to look like worn out leather by the time I'm 50. I'm putting on sunscreen every morning. SPF50.
Also the Andrew Huberman guy, basically a "science based" Joe Rogan knockoff, advised against putting on sunscreen because he thinks that the chemicals in it are more harmful than the damage caused by the sun. For some reason health and fitness gurus are going hard against sunscreen at the moment. I have no idea why they are doing this. One of the easiest ways to stay looking younger is to use sunscreen every day lol. Probably the easiest health and beauty "biohack" that exists. 30 seconds of work a day which consists of applying a cheap cream to your face and exposed skin, so you look 15-20 years younger when you're 60. You'd think health and fitness gurus would promote the hell out of this.

Why? By the time their flock are wrinkled and riddled with cancer they'll have already made their bag and cashed out.
Even if you're almost always indoors/work nights? I always lathered up multiple times when I worked outside or whenever I went anywhere to hang out in the sun, but maybe I need to add sunscreen to my daily routine of peering hatefully at the rays that intrude into my cave.

Bro white people will straight up colonize the sun and then wonder why their skin is as scaly as a crocodile in one year
Vaxxed??

So I've run into some of these anti seed oil people before, but is there any basis to what they're saying or is it just pseudoscientific quackery?
Most of the fat, which is essential for hormone production, in the human diet for thousand of years came from nuts and seeds. It doesn’t make sense that now all of a sudden these same oils are bad for you. Do people put too much oil in their food in general? Probably, but the seed oil itself isn’t bad. People would be surprised to know they really don’t need to eat that many grams of fat per day.
I don’t think the concern is the seeds themselves, but rather that in the process of turning them into oil and cooking at high temps it changes the molecular structure in ways that are not good.
I don’t know, I started looking into all this years ago before it got completely overtaken by chuds. It sucks because now I’m skeptical of any research that comes out about it because the space has become so chuddy. But back in the day I just swapped out cooking with vegetable oil for like, coconut oil and olive oil in some cases, not really a big deal. I don’t think it’s the sort of thing that anyone should panic over or change their diet if they don’t like it. But tbh drastically reducing how much seed oil I ingest was such a small change to my life I was just kinda like sure, ok, whatever.
I can see that, but I’m still not convinced it’s the big deal it’s been made out to be. If anything is bad about seed oils I would agree that it’s the cooking process more so than the oil itself. Kinda like how the charred bit when you’re grilling are carcinogenic (even though it’s delicious don’t @ me) or how it was long thought that motor oil is what caused mechanics to get cancer, when in reality it was the burnt up carbon IN the oil that caused the cancer. Burning oil is probably bad no matter what the source is in general, it’s just not good to ingest burnt oil in large quantities. I think the problem with olive and coconut oils is they have a lower smoke point so they in turn burn more easily. Not to scare you or anything obviously it’s just that I think the burning of the oil is what makes it harmful not the source.
There's a flaw with that kind of question because our scientific understanding of diet is nowhere near complete. Metabolism and the microbiome are crazy complicated. It's better to do experiments like actually cutting out seed oils to see what happens. And the weird thing is that their community has hundreds of posts about curing weird autoimmune diseases or digestion issues https://www.reddit.com/r/StopEatingSeedOils/comments/1bqpel7/so_thankful_for_this_sub/
Idk, I think it's compelling enough I've been changing my diet. I definitely get much less cravings for things, I actually just ended a 36 hour fast I did simply because I forgot to eat.

Inferior Seed Oils

Doesn't protect against the sun
An interesting hypothesis.
I deeply encourage every may-I mean person of pallor to embrace their birthright and stand out in the sunlight for hours on end every day
Embrace your history!
When ur enemies want to age like milk, let them.
Modern fascism is so wacky, they're all basically led around by grifters and snake oil salesmen.
nothing new in American politics, grifters and snake oil salesmen literally formed a major religion around themselves here (Mormonism)
"swaddled in the flag" was some hot bullshit
American fascism came marching in with former confederate officers and flanked by guys in round thatch hats singing about pool tables.
I'll have you know snake oil is a superior fat which will allow you to sun yourself on a rock like a reptile
The sun is my enemy, i will begjn firing bullets into the sin starting tomorrow at 6am CST if anyone wishes to join me

I'm just saying if we all wore hoods or floppy straw hats we'd need less sunscreen.
Not to mention, sunscreen is a low-key environmental disaster as well.

Without opening the link, how much should I bet he’s a chiropractor?
Lol. If your work results in people being suspicious and asking if you’re a quack, maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to be a doctor
