        You’re doing it wrong then. Life can be fun. It can be fun for not just years, but decades

          I’m middle-aged so I’ve already had more than my fair share of fun (I’m great at taking the ‘fun’ out of ‘too much fun’), but I think my warranty expired a few years ago. I got a new and exciting autoimmune disorder and this stupid meat suit is almost literally self-destructing

            Yeah, I’m 45ish and I went zero carb to get rid of body fat and bad health. The common diet is fucking us up.

              The diet; the microplastics that you eat, drink and breathe; the endocrine disruptors that you huff from your home’s PCB-finished wood floor, or dishwasher detergent buildup inside you; extremely hygienic environments which make for overeager immune systems; pollution; the pesticides that Monsanto assured you are totally safe and go great with their proprietary genemodded sterile cereals which they also assure are totally safe; the near-eternal organofluorides you get exposed to because there’s a chemical plant 100km upriver with a gung-ho attitude towards waste disposal, and all the slightly scratched Teflon pans you kept using because it’s fine; or the trillion other things we’re doing to fuck up just about literally everything that lives anywhere on this planet, including our own sorry asses

                I eat highland raised beef, fed entirely on their pasture, so probably very little pesticide or gene edited cereals

                It’s only national parks uphill, upstream, from them

                I use cast iron to cook, I dislike plastic cooking tools, so I use pans that can tolerate steel.

                I drink from glass almost exclusively and I donate plasma, which is probably the only way of getting rid of PFAS chemicals (the “forever chemicals”)

                You and I have heard the same stories. I follow “better to be safe than sorry”

                I really care about food

                Oh don’t forget about asbestos

    Lizards were created by boomer turtle parents selling the family turtle shells to spend the rest of their lives on a cruise ship.

    Imagine having to raise all 300 of 'em. Parents must be stoked most get sniped on the beaches.

    After that first hellish onslaught on the beach everything seems massively downscaled in terms of stress so they are just super chill all the time, as we know from Crush & Squirt in Finding Nemo, therefore low-stress becomes a longer life.
