    the single biggest pet peeve that i have is when somebody says something like “X is good for you in Y situations under Z conditions” and then everybody immediately goes “X is good for you, do more X” This happens so often i’m starting to think we shouldn’t allow people to have opinions anymore.

    like it’s so easy to just, not say something silly, or stupid.

      Or the opposite even! We replaced a mouse’s blood with artificial sweetener and that mouse died of super cancer. Ergo, artificial sweetener will give you super cancer.

        yeah. There are so many problems with so many things in so many ways.

        It really doesn’t help that people like to grasp onto the “ultimate” truth when it comes to this stuff. Even when there are good arguments for things people will fall head over heels down a mountain just to make a bad argument.

        and it just pains me, i’m not mad (ok i might be a little mad, or maybe a lot) but i’m (also) disappointed in them as well, because we can collectively do better as a species, but we just, choose not to.

        i mean, for the love of god shitpost as much as you want, i love shitposting, it’s the best, but just, read my posts on eudaimonia if you have to. It’s worth the effort, and it will greatly improve your life. (maybe not my posts, but stop being silly, please.)
