Only for half of protein and carbohydrates that can go into the gluconeogenesis pathway. That'll increase uti incidence, shred your kidneys with proteinurea, and lead to ketoacidosis when you're dealing with the other half of the proteins and all the other lipids, which before it kills you will allow you to excrete that waste from you lungs while you smell like you've been huffing nail polish remover. I think the out the butt option is generally preferable.

That's a complicated question, because yes there are weight loss drugs that mimic certain aspects of diabetes, but through different mechanisms of action. A good example is a SGLT2 inhibitor medication, which explicitly creates glycosuria in a non-diabetic person, which is kind of a defining feature of diabetes mellitus. While that's a generally very effective drug and should be used more for obesity control, it will also increase incidence of UTI and (due to a loss of sugar and thus forcing metabolism of fats/proteins) ketoacidosis.

The insulin/glucagon relationship is why diabetic ketoacidosis only shows up in type 1 diabetics and not type 2 (they get what's called hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state), and is an important part of liver fat production. Ketoacidosis is generally associated with that but is also present in starvation and alcoholics that don't eat actual food.

The greater point I was making wasn't about carbohydrates turning into fats. It's that most fats and about half of proteins cannot be turned into carbohydrates. They must be metabolized into ketones and then acetone. If you absorb them and cannot store them like in the OP's hypothetical, you'll end up having to immediately metabolize them and will end up with ketoacidosis.

It's all about degree. Essentially what I'm talking about is severe dysregulation of lipid/protein metabolism that is generally only seen in type 1 diabetics, but it's the natural extension of extreme lipid and protein metabolism. I'm not familiar with that supplement, however.

As far as you watching yourself for it, don't worry, you'd notice being acidotic. I've seen it plenty of times at the hospital and you'd be huffing and puffing the acid off with terrible stomach pain and be generally having a bad day. While that supplement is associated with urine acetone increases, it's not quite the degree that I'm taking about.

Essentially, inhibiting fat production and storage and eliminating it result in very different effects. Insulin, by the way, is a very important mediator in fat production and storage. It's why so many new diagnosis type 1 diabetic children are often underweight.

That's a right winger position on the one state solution. I'm not implying that's the only position, but that's essentially the path Israel is walking down right now. The left wing one state solution is much less problematic.

What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

roguetrick,

I think the answer is complicated. Homo erectus, the first homo species thought to use fire and our direct ancestors were as close to obligate carnivores as there is in the homo genus, but they focused on big animals with a lot of fat like hippos and elephants. They likely did not cook that fat, because it would store just fine without doing so.

roguetrick,

Intellivision because the controller has an insert with labels for what the buttons do for each game.

roguetrick,

Don't show this to stamets.

roguetrick,

I posted this directly after you were hornyposting about greek gods.

The Balkans are similarly diverse (despite efforts to murder everyone different since the age of the habsburgs).

roguetrick,

I want you to understand something: what you're asking about is much more basic than critical theory. You're talking about the sociological theory of race. I'd avoid trying to understand critical theory without some more basic sociology building blocks because you frankly won't understand what they're talking about otherwise.

It's not a new thing. Look back to radio dramas and dime novels and you'll see the same thing.

Sears catalogues or something like it.

Those look like unpowered crystal radios on the top of the seats.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_radio

roguetrick,

I think I had a stroke.

roguetrick,

I highly doubt any language is more correlated with authoritarianism, particularly the English language. There is a cultural aspect to collective action over individualism, but I think authoritarianism is a base human personality trait.

What are your criteria for upvoting/downvoting?

I hate that I always compare Lemmy to Reddit, but Reddit used to have (not sure if they still do) guidelines called “Reddiquette” that included guidelines about upvoting and downvoting. I don’t remember the specifics (and sending too much of my browser traffic to Reddit makes me feel dirty) but one of the guidelines was...

roguetrick, (edited )

I let lurkers do the upvoting or downvoting unless it's really good or really bad Downvotes don't federate from or to kbin anyway.

There doesn't exist sci fi that isn't political. Even space opera and strange fiction is political.

roguetrick,

The Dicks also had a good position

roguetrick,

That amongus has a humongous-gus.

roguetrick,

Opposite actually. The court decision says that all future reverse keyword search warrants in Colorado will have their evidence thrown out. This one, however, didn't have precedent so the police acted in good faith.

roguetrick,

That's a moderation problem. We don't have a highly moderated news community that's popular yet.

roguetrick,

Taking it out of the water and getting it bound up with activated carbon is a net benefit. Much less chance of it leaking back out when stuck in the carbon compared to when it was already in the water.
