Penile cancer: 6,500 amputations in Brazil in a decade
  • Yeah, but you still have a 99.999....% chance of not getting your dick amputated on any given day as a Brazilian.

    It's still a minuscule chance of getting your dick amputated due to penile cancer. Penile cancer itself is extremely rare. Less than 0.01% chance.

  • Nope. No.
  • Not too long ago, everyone was saying that art was the most difficult thing for an AI to do. That's why everyone had this utopian view of machines doing all the work while humans just spent their days making art.

    Art was supposed to be the insanely difficult something that only humans could do.

  • American Heart Association Was Paid Off By Procter & Gamble To Say Heart Disease Was Caused By Saturated Fat, Not Seed Oils
  • https://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/the-money-behind-the-fight-over-healthy-eating-214517

    Leave this here if you wanna learn more about the woman behind this story. She's not completely unbiased herself and is funded by a Houston billionaire. Her name is Nina Teicholz.

    She still might be correct. And the association between saturated fats and heart disease does seem to be moderated by other factors. For example, cheese, butter, and yogurt seem to have more benefits than harm, even with their high saturated fat content. But again, this is based on limited studies.

    Also, fiber seems to be a moderator as well. So a high psyllium diet will moderate the effects of saturated fat.

    And this is from the WHO, 2022.

    Our findings strongly reinforce the guidance that, when replacement energy is required, it should be provided by PUFA, plant sources of MUFA and slowly digested carbohydrates. Thus, dietary fats should come largely from seeds, nuts or liquid vegetable oil (olive, canola) rather than hydrogenated vegetable fats or land animal fats and coconut oil.

    Overall though, there are no questions as to whether unsaturated fats are bad for you (they're not). And the environmental impact of eating saturated animal fats can't be denied. It would be better for the world if we reduced meat consumption and the use of animal products.

  • RFK Jr.’s bump in polling fails to materialize after VP pick
  • She "made it" by marrying a billionaire co-founder of Google. Then cheated on him with Elon Musk. Her husband then divorced her because of it and...

    Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan's attorneys argued that she had signed the prenuptial agreement under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin's $95 billion fortune. The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration. Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly received an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.

    Yeah, she really represents the American Dream.

  • Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can?
  • Meh. Your value as a human isn't tied to your accomplishments (be it having a family or getting a high paying job) or productivity.

    This whole thing of "striving as a honed skill" sounds like hustling culture and capitalist brainwashing. In fact, I would say it takes more skill to actually be content with your life and not feel the constant need to strive to be someone better or do something more.

    You seem to think that unless you've done something, you're worthless.

    It seems that according to your view, a homeless person without a family is completely worthless.

  • things dogs should not have eaten
  • But she didn't say, "I hope she beats the fuck out of him". You're changing the words to make your point. If she had said that, it would also sound pretty vile.

    Imagine she actually said the same thing in your hypothetical situation, "I hope he killed her."

    That would sound much more nefarious because men actually do kill women to a disproportionate degree. So when she says I hope she kills him, everyone pretty much assumes it's hyperbole.

    Your point is still taken, and it'd be better if neither sex promoted violence in any way.
