Atkins wasn't no carb. The most restrictive Atkins diet required 20g of net carbs per day, and it got less restrictive quickly.

Internet keto follows the most restrictive Atkins diet, or sometimes limits people to 20g total carbs (as opposed to Atkins' net carbs). Medical keto is like internet keto but adds highly ketogenic MCT fats

The only people prescribed medical keto are those getting it for mental illness, diet tests usually use internet keto

I didn't see my doctor between moving from keto to carnivore, and settling into carnivore about a year later, and described it as "very low carb"

He told me I would be dead in a year if I didn't go on statins due to high cholesterol I said no thanks, please look up the cholesterol-energy hypothesis; my cholesterol is moving my fat to my muscles.

I don't think he has yet looked up the cholesterol-energy hypothesis

Evolution isn't aimed. A T-Rex needs to be good enough to hunt enough food.

Our ancient ancestors smashed the skulls of animals killed by African predators to eat the brains, smashed bones to eat the marrow.

Later as our ancestors became bigger and stronger they hunted and needed to communicate with each other to effectively track and take down an animal. Maybe they needed twenty words. Chickens have three words (or cluck patterns)

At the same time women collected stuff and needed to share how to identify this from that with younger women. They might have needed a hundred words.

Then those who could talk better were more attractive to the other sex than those who couldn't (even now being well spoken is attractive) then a few millions of years later we're making stone knives, hammers, axes; then ten minutes later aeroplanes and machine guns

In short: we had it hard enough we needed to share information. We later found communication sexy. T-Rex had no such trouble. We seem to be the only animal that solved "scavenging is dangerous" and "hunting is hard" with talking to each other rather than by getting bigger and getting claws or vicious teeth

I understand we selected for tall by fighting humans

I'm some sort of "normal" and only shower weekly. I don't wash my hair. You're not far off the mainstream, except that I enjoy my weekly shower and I suspect you wash for duty

The op picture has two dividers and quite a bit of white space between the left and right, making the reading order look like two columns

You're allowed to say fuck on the internet

If you don't like saying fuck, then don't fucking say it

I suspect the ugliness was contributory to her nastiness, so it really was wrong to cast a beauty in the role

What happened to making it clear who was good and who was bad by good being pretty/handsome and bad being ugly?

Few of the people I want to follow are on Mastodon, X is run by a Nazi, blue sky has many of the people I used to follow on Twitter

As much as I subscribe to fediverse and open source, I'm going where the people are

Canberra, Australia before the 2017 bushfires. The rainwater was filtered through pine needles as there were pine plantations around our dams

The pines are gone now and the water is good, but no longer great

Though it now is excellent for making beer
