That's just a standard utilitarianism thought experiment. Although I feel like it's usually used as an argument against utilitarianism, not an actual moral guideline.

Yes, exactly! I read a bit of their stuff when we had a big thread on it, and it's kind of fascinating how they do the exact opposite of philosophy.

Obviously, about fifteen minutes after utilitarianism was proposed, people started coming up with these sort of counterexamples: strict utilitarianism would presumably imply it's better for one person to be horribly tortured than for a sufficiently huge number of people to stub their toe, because if pain sums up across people then enough toe stubbing is "more pain" than one torture. The point of these examples, obviously, is to show that your theory leads you to unreasonable conclusions, so you might need to reasses your theory. And they do the opposite, they go "right, the position we've adopted leads us to this ridiculous poo poo, so must be true. Must be. Because like gently caress am I going back and reconsidering something I've decided is true."

Instead of identifying problems with their assumptions and changing and refining their theories, they just picked something and blindly followed wherever the gently caress it lead. Why did they even choose utilitarianism over something else? No idea, when you apparently don't really question it.

Agreed, everyone know that women shed their all of their skin naturally at least once a week, leaving behind an empty husk in the shape of their body.

A dull razor will cut you more often, a sharp razor will make you bleed more when you do cut yourself.

And they'll just leave that lying on the bathroom floor, then have the nerve to complain about you forgetting to put the toilet seat down.

Yeah, exactly. I bled for 20 minutes once after using a woman’s razor. Didn’t feel a thing until I started treating it. Men’s razor, I’d get a tiny nick that bled for 5 seconds.

Eventually ketosis kicks in and you stop feeling hungry, but the first 4-5 days can really mess with your head. You feel slow and stupid and can't focus on anything, you're hungry enough to eat your desk, and your mind will straight up tell you lies about how you should totally just have a little something, it'll be fine, it's not a big deal.

People say you get a burst of energy after a few days, but those people are full of it. The hunger feeling does eventually go away, but none of the rest of it does.

Probably depends on the person. When I was first getting into ketosis I had that 4-5 days of being slow and stupid (and very weak) then suddenly BAM, motherfucking ENERGY like you wouldn't believe. I've never experienced anything like that, it was like being on drugs. Bouncing off the walls, having sex over and over, dancing by myself till 3 in the morning, vigorously attacking all those home projects I was always putting off...I felt so powerful I thought I could do anything, hell I even started looking into becoming a foster parent because I knew I could handle it with this kind of energy to drive me.

Then in another 4-5 days it was gone. :(

Yeah that's just wild mood swings. Ketogenic diets are used to treat some forms of epilepsy and have some moderate success in treating bipolar depression so I wouldn't be surprised if you could give yourself hypomania by shooting your cortisol levels through the roof or something.

Well it was fun as hell, lemme tell you!

Also why does everyone assume I was masturbating, I'm married and have access to fabulous dick thankyouverymuch (it was a fun few days for him as well)

ETA: just looked up hypomania and you're almost certainly right. Another thing that happened was that all food suddenly tasted amazing and I developed cravings for things I previously despised, like sauerkraut (I still really like it now even though flavors have gone back to tasting normal.)
