The one day of the year I’m not mad when my kid decides to wake up early.

What I love is that half of my “automatic” clocks didn’t adjust so now I have to wait and see if they do or adjust them and hope that the atomic clock signal doesn’t somehow add another hour or timezone. I realize it shouldn’t but LaCrosse weather station clocks suck.

I have one of these that was convinced I lived in the middle of the Pacific ocean for a few months no matter what I did, then it fixed itself and is fine now.

I assume the radio signal got messed up since that's how they work, or at least how my old rear end one does. But I don't know. I got good at translating to my time when I looked at that thing, the minutes were right!

My phone does this every DST when I have it set to automatically get date & time from the tower. I'm in AZ yet it moves for DST all the time.

Ironically since I’ve started working out and eating better I’m on the bowl once a day normally instead of like three times a day.

Which works out great because the toilet paper at work is borderline sandpaper and using that once a day every other week alone is borderline hemorrhoid territory :mad:

I clicked through to look at the scale. It starts going up at 1900. That just so happens to be when cheap food and clean water was readily available, and now people don't have to work in the fields all day long to tend to their crops so they aren't sweating out all of the water. More food = more bowel movements.

I wonder how the global BMI would track with that graph.

Also, I gotta call bullshit on less than one urination a day. Like, how? Just taking a pee every morning when waking up is 1 a day. Was everyone dehydrated back then?

Eh, not having a 24 hour news cycle and 2 or 3 social media apps sending alerts for poo poo every five minutes and not having group chats where theres no escape from news or things that have people concerned probably do wonders for your anxiety. Also getting plenty of vitamin D and consuming all locally grown produce and meat you'd hunted or raised and having no intake of processed food... I can definitely see a world where even if your concern is a bandit's sword in your guts or being pressed into a vanguard with a coat of ring mail and a fire sharpened spear to face a cavalry unit your day to day isn't so bad.

In the time period you are describing, if you get sick in the many many many ways it is possible to get sick, you basically die from everything.

Nah, that time is fine. Stuff will be busy as any other place during Labor Day. Early September is usually pretty hot here (80-90 degrees, starts cooling down in late September). Olympic National Park is great. If you're feeling adventurous you could probably do a trip to Victoria BC from Port Angeles for a day (assuming COVID doesn't gently caress the border crossings again).

The amount of shits per day you take is very correlated to whether your diet is high in roughage/fiber and vegetable matter vs. high in meat and protein. Our food in a lot of ways is way better now than its ever been before (amount of potentially dangerous bacteria, completeness of vitamin content, fresh produce year round, doesn't contain ground bits of rock that wear down your teeth, etc.) but it's also far worse in other ways (vastly more sugar, often too much sodium, possibly harmful pesticides/herbicides/random chemicals and poo poo that cause cancer) and we're also as a population far more sedentary, for good and for ill. We also all drink loads of coffee (a laxative), tea/caffeine (diuretics), etc. There's too many factors to make easy comparisons of bowel movements per day or whatever the gently caress that tweet was trying to say.

That said, stress is bad for you and we have a lot of stress these days so I'm sure that's true regardless of whether we're peeing too much or something.

I hate the idea that processed automatically equals bad. It doesn't. Food has been processed to make it easier to eat, cheaper to eat, stays fresher longer, and sometimes more nutritious. It's some real loving privilege to eat "unprocessed" foods. And pretty much everything is processed anyway so it's stupid to think you're eating something unprocessed unless you grew it yourself.

Leperflesh

When people talk about "processed food" what they really mean is food loaded with preservatives. Chowing down on tons of sodium nitrate is probably not super good for you.

Obviously breaking down a cow into pieces is also processing, but that's not what people are talking about.

Early St. Patrick's Day dinner. Corned beef, cabbage, and cottage pie.

Also the cabbage released a lot of water with the corned beef and made something similar to pot liquor from making collard greens. I had a mug of salty flavor water and I'll do it again.

There's a lot of misconception about what is and isn't bad for you, mainly made popular by diet culture. There's not a lot of evidence that sodium nitrates are unsafe. I mean, if you were eating pounds and pounds of bacon daily, it's not going to be the nitrates that are going to kill you, let's be honest. Most people don't eat pounds and pounds of bacon a day though.

This was true in England, and probably several other places in Europe, because they'd contaminated their water and didn't know that was why they'd get sick from drinking cold water. But obviously not the case worldwide. And, they drank "small beer" which was between .5% and maybe 2.5% or so alcohol content.
