This is the reason prisoners are so healthy and full of vim and vitality. (right........)
UMMM I don't think you can get iron in your diet this way. First off, it's unlikely you're going to find a bar of pure iron anyway, since most metal bars are composites of many minerals.
Also, the iron has to specifically be in an ingestible form so the liver can process it. An iron bar ain't a lollipop. (maybe that should be a slogan for something).
When they say that cereal has added iron, they really mean that actual bits of iron are added (very tiny particles). You can use a magnet to pull some of them out, they're little iron filings.
So if you file the bar down first and eat the filings, MAYBE it would contribute to your iron intake. But - why not just grab some milk and eat the cereal instead?
Quick Google search suggests that using cast iron cookware increases your iron intake. I’d imagine the heat process has something to do with it though, so still incredulous that licking an iron bar would be effective, though I’m at a very minor maybe.
I saw that also but I have my doubts that you'd get much iron intake from cooking in iron pans. People used to get lead poisoning from using lead pots and pans, so - maybe it's possible. I'm not sure how much iron frying pans, for example, are pure iron.
Huh. So there IS some reason to think cooking in iron pots will increase levels of iron in your blood. Interesting! I know metal can leach out of cooking vessels and into food, so that's not too surprising. Thanks for the information!
It’s not that simple. Cast iron pans when properly seasoned won’t leach much iron into the food. However, I recall reading about a group who brewed their beer in iron kettles. And it was found to be a significant source of iron, as a result.
And beer itself for various reasons enhances iron absorption.
Japan has traditional iron kettles (that are stupidly expensive) and they're often mentioned by doctors for use in people who have iron deficiency here. That or iron pans. They even make an iron ball to put in normal kettles and such, but that weirds me out a bit.
Do I keep my velocity relative to earth if I teleport? Because if would really suck if I teleported from one side of the equator to the other one and am suddenly moving at 3300 km/h
Skyrim was my chill game for years, but now I’d say Elder Scrolls Online. Everyone I know who plays ESO is super non-competitive and chill. It’s just got a great vibe.
This was my vote, too. There are so many things to do that don’t involve combat/mechanics/etc., you’re bound to find something that sounds fun. Some days I log in and just work on surveys or treasure maps or antiquities with a cocktail and a podcast on in the background.
You can get all the iron you need from vegetables and certain meat or even taking supplements. There's no need to go about eating rusty metal. In fact, my doctor has advised me not to eat nails. I have to trust what he says, he's printed out several impressive medical degrees.
WorldOfAntiquity is great, I don’t even see what could be “wrong” about these videos.
these slightly creepy old-perv vibes in his shorts/tiktok videos.
I don’t really watch his shorts much, but watched a few including the one you linked. Didn’t seem pervy to me at all.
The protagonist is usually a young woman half his age who probably wouldnt give him a second look.
That’s because the majority of these kind of videos that he’s replying to (what I like to call Witch History) are made by young women. You don’t really see academics or older people making videos like “ten signs you lived in Atlantis in your past life,” because it’s an immature video topic to begin with, but if they did, I’m sure his replies would be just like this one.
I asked a couple of women at work about this and they said “perv” too, so I dont know. Miniminuteman does content shorts blasting poeple for similar beliefs but they’re mostly guys, so I dont think its fair to say its a women only thing.
I do also think its wise for academics not to avoid socials as thats where the misinformation is spreading these days.
I think the point is more to mock the pseudoscience/history in a skit format, but his comments aren’t especially funny or clever. I’d describe it more as “failed comedy” than “old-perv” vibes but it does seem like he should stick to long-form documentary content.
I think so. The “on a date” scenario gives us a framework, two strangers who WANT to like each other. I don’t think that makes it creepy, it just saves him the trouble of creating a background for these characters. Then she starts saying these wacky things, and he’s showing disappointment that this obviously won’t work out, while also trying to be polite as they are having dinner together.
Not sure this reply will get seen by the kind people who have helped explain this situation to me but I just want to say “thank you”. And I get it. The ethos here is the diversity and the federation — Reddit subs were easily corrupted by power hungry turds… anyway… there were a lot of thoughtful replies and I appreciate all that.
I still feel new here but I’m pleased to be welcomed by a lot of very thoughtful and patient people.
Idk if you consider this fake or not, but there’s considerably more plastic surgery, Botox, veneers, teeth bleaching, and appearance oriented behaviors these days. Especially in movies, but also in real life. There’s not a single actor with natural teeth now, except for Steve Buschimi. Even he probably bleaches his teeth. You used to see people everywhere as they were naturally. Now it’s very common to see people who have had cosmetic procedures done. There’s also a lot more bodybuilding and body sculpting now. That one is possibly a positive, since it contributes to a person’s overall health. Go watch a movie from the 70’s. The actors look like real people. Now every actor looks like digitally sculpted perfection.
Because people tie their egos to their opinions and beliefs. They see an attack on those as an attack on their person.
We are all like this to certain extents. For example, I am a firm believer of the right of the individual to make their own choices, and believe that attempts to remove a person's right to make choices morally abhorrent.
It’s a basic psychological need to be able to trust that your brain can be right. A lot of psychological problems can result if you don’t trust your own brain to be able to solve problems and cope with new information.
Some people don’t learn the value of accepting mistakes/failure as part of learning. As a result, they will associate being wrong with weakening the trust they have in their brain. They don’t want to believe that their brain may not come up with answers for the problems and changes they face in life. So they will deny that their brain is incorrect.
It’s an ugly insecurity, but it’s totally understandable from an evolutionary perspective. We need to be able to trust our brains to navigate life’s challenges. People need to be taught that it’s okay to make mistakes, and that admitting when you are wrong is an opportunity for personal growth.
Can you elaborate on what you mean psych problems when you don't trust your brain?
I have memory issues and so when I'm doing something more complex than muscle memory I write it down. So I don't trust myself on specific memory tasks, like phone numbers.
I’m not a psychologist, so I can’t explain the exact theory, but basically my understanding is that self-confidence and self-esteem are linked to the concept of self-efficacy, which means the trust that your mind will be able to cope with the challenges presented to it. Low self-esteem and self-confidence are linked to all kinds of insecurities and challenges functioning.
Disclaimer: I recently began working on my own low self-confidence with my therapist and she pointed me to a book, the contents of which I’m mostly regurgitating here. The book is “The Six Pillars of Self-esteem” by Nathaniel Branden.
When my wife was pregnant, a buddy gave her an old cast iron pan and told her to heat applesauce in it. Said it should help her iron deficiency, too bad we're to add to have remembered....
I mean, box breathing like you described works because you’re depriving yourself of oxygen briefly lol. Causes blood pressure and anxiety and stuff to lower.
