    So, the real elephant in the room is that for the average worker, they are more productive (ie, working much harder) and under much, much more financial stress… which effects epigenetics

    and… people are having children later in life, leading to children with more genetic defects (the average person has about 7 genetic defects, some people have more, some fewer)

    in the 1950s, a man could work at a factory with a high school diploma, own a house, support a family, and have a wife as a full-time assistant at home

    now both parents have to work, if there even are children, there may or may not be a house, and many are just single. people are under huge amounts of stress, and all of it effects epigenetics including via weaker bonds within families

    bodies interpret stress as either “uh oh, i’m going to get kicked out of my tribe and will have to forage and hunt on my own and may die” or “there may be a famine soon”

    the fact that the vitamin levels of food has gone down is a real thing, bodies remember things like that, and can be aware of the decrease, and start to prepare for famines

    TLDR captialism without proper government regulation of externalities is making people fat along with higher populations and decreased vitamin levels in food due to over-farming

        Do you know how many dicks I’ve sucked?

        I’m asking because I don’t know… because it’s so many that I’ve lost count of how many.

        It’s a lot of dicks.

        Yes, you could read what I wrote about genetic defects and think “He could be referring to a typical genetic defect as an enzyme having a slightly different shape due to a random base substitution error, slowing down the rate of a cellular reaction necessary for lysosomes to function well…” but instead you were like… “I bet it’s because he’s into Hitler.”

        And it’s true. Not only have I sucked lots and lots of dicks, and am a dude, and would have been gassed many times over by my great savior, who is in fact strangely and paradoxically Hitler, but I am also clearly into Hitler based on the fact that I categorize some genetic mutations which result in a loss of function as genetic defects, instead of a beautiful cornucopia of changes which may one day prove to be adaptive.

        You are a very clever sleuth!

        TLDR: capitalism bad

          Going to a Nazi rally as a guy and sucking everyone’s dick is such a power move, I applaud you!

          It seems like you are angry that I thought you were a racist when you said racist things. That’s significant evidence and I don’t regret it

            On a side note, I’m actually impressed by the number of posts of yours that have been removed by mods and your knowledge of machine learning. Are YOU impressed by the vast vast unquantifiable unidentifiable number of dicks I’ve sucked?

                One? lol, no way… I stopped counting after it got into the double digits, but it’s a lot. I used to say I had sucked fewer than 20 dicks, now I say it’s less than an infinite number of dicks.

                Also you are also misinterpreting my post as anger… but really my response was sexual arousal because I have a fetish for morons.

            What exactly did I say that was racist initially? All “races” have genetic defects. The average number of genetic defects is 7 and race doesn’t even exactly exist in science because it’s mostly a social construct. They are things like “intolerant to gluten” or “more susceptible to certain cancers” and they don’t have an agenda. I hate anti-wokism, but calling me racist for my initial post is bat-shit ignorant. (Calling me racist slut for my second post, however… well… you got me there.)

              Racists use genetic defects to imply superiority. That’s why I asked. I got my reply, extreme anger. I’m satisfied there with that response like I said, it says much more than just saying it out loud

    That’s pretty interesting. This could be the basis of a new weight-loss drug that works by limiting calorie absorption rather than regulating hunger cues.

    I’m going to be mildly annoyed if the fat acceptance latches on to this as yet another study validating their belief that they can’t lose weight.

      their belief that they can’t lose weight.

      For a lot of people it’s a poverty and lack of healthcare thing…

      Even just annual checkups are a huge help because weight is being tracked and someone gets early and continuous warnings their health is being impacted.

      They have as much control as someone trying to lift themselves up by their bootstraps.

      If they can’t escape poverty and gain access to healthcare… They’re less likely to maintain a healthy weight.

        Yeah, that’s bullshit.

        Poverty isn’t exactly helping, but there are more than enough people with enough resources and excessive body weight.

        In the US, ¾ of the population is overweight, are you suggesting ¾ of the population is poor?

        I used to be fat. It’s not a monetary issue. In fact, I lost weight when I moved out and had very little money.

          For a lot of people

          What about that phrase made you interpret it as “everyone”?

          In fact, I lost weight when I moved out and had very little money

          This makes it sound like your young and still had the metabolism of a teenager… Losing that is what makes most people gain weight. While some people can be overweight with it, it’s still literally the easiest time in your life to lose weight.

          It would have been much harder if you were fully grown.

            From my own experience I’m approaching 40 and I can estimate my weight based off the calories I’ve consumed and how much I’ve worked out since the last time I weighed myself within a couple pounds. It’s not exactly in line with any of those estimator apps but it is fairly consistent I assume this is because I have a slower metabolism. Pretty much everyone I know who struggles to lose weight makes terrible choices even when they’re trying. You can account that to cravings or impulse control or whatever but everyone that stuck to an appropriate plan has succeeded. It’s a matter of figuring out how your body works and sticking to a plan but it is not easy.

              For you, yeah.

              For most people even, sure.

              But not everyone, there’s an absolute shit ton of natural human variation on top of conditions/diseases that effect that.

              Like, some people react to a normal diet by their body drastically cutting energy expenditure to try and maintain fat reserves.

              Billions of years of evolution says carrying around as much fat as possible is the optimal choice, and different people have different traits to maintain those energy reserves which used to be the most important part of physical fitness.

              Like, of any possible addiction, an addiction to a high calorie diet should make the most sense to people.
