          You’re welcome to disagree. But if you read Paradise Lost or do a little critical analysis and compare the themes of “The serpent in the Garden” with stories like Prometheus (and other fallen angel motifs), it’s pretty easy to see Lucifer/Satan as a sympathetic character, IMHO.

          But then I’ll always tend to lean toward the side advocating for more knowledge over the side advocating for limiting knowledge.

                That’s why I demand all discussions about any mythology to take my personal fictions into account instead of the most common historical versions.

                No, I haven’t shared them with anyone, and they’re clearly marked “Dreams I had Once on The Astral Plane” but if you disagree with my points that they’re relevant to a general understanding of the myths it makes you an idiot theist.

            OP posted here something that was originally on r/fit.
            Another commenter suggested they cross-post somewhere else.
            I just suggested that if you have a post about fit, when you cross-post it it becomes about cross-fit.
            You didn’t miss anything interesting ;)

          No said suffering want good. Lots of people like things that cause mild to moderate discomfort, but watching someone do something they dislike for an invalid reason seems to be the context. Lots of people like raw onion, but the consensus seems to be that few people would enjoy sitting there and simply eating an entire raw onion.

                Fourth party here: definitions are descriptive not prescriptive and vary by common usage. Due to current common usage, literally means both literally and figuratively, with the original definition slowly losing ground. So no one is correct.

                  True, but if you wanted to articulate the concept formerly known as “Literally”, how would you do it? I just woke up, and my brain hasn’t booted all the way to desktop yet, but I can’t immediately think of another word to fill the niche.

                  But is it a figurative burying or a meta-literal one? I mean if you really think about things entomologically and we pick apart the Latin root words of “bury” and “dogpile” we might just find that the meaning of lemmy dogpile changes completely depending on context, literally figuratively.

                  Language is fucked. We really need telepathically beaming abstract concepts directly into brain matter so I don’t have to crawl through linguist brainrot reply chains.

        This is misinformation.

        Everyone knows that you get the biggest boost to testosterone by leaving the onions until they start to degrade; yes, this is the point when the chemicals that make you cry are strongest, but if you can hold back the tears then you get +50 testosterone.

          This is disinformation. Everyone knows that you get the highest boost +100 of testosterone if you insert the raw onions in your ass daily. It’s equivalent to squatting 300 lbs.

      And why wouldn’t you. I tend to not bite into the whole thing but suffer from occasional urges to do so.

      Still remember that maybe 10 years ago on our way to Romania two grandpa’s in a restaurant in Hajdúnánás ordered some huge chives to dip in salt with their beers.

      I ordered the same 10 minutes after and both gave me a drinking salute. Still eat it in summer, amazing healthy snack.

      Can’t say for much, but I do know testosterone is a drug (aka steroids) people willingly take to pursue a super muscular body type. Wouldn’t be surprised if people tried alternatives to get the same effect, especially since onions are technically “natty” (natural)

      There’s probably also some folklore on test outside of bodybuilding, wouldn’t be surprised if toxic influencers promoted it

          How deep do you go? Believing a post on 4chan? Dumb. Believing a comment on reddit? Dumb. Believing an article on a reputable news site? Dumb. Believing a study funded entities that may encourage a bias? Dumb. Believing a study from scientists that would rather cause sensation than do good science? Dumb. Guess the only solution is to put on that lab coat, get a doctorate and do the experiment yourself, huh? Or maybe put the blame on people spreading misinformation instead of the victims it hurts. There isn’t enough time in the fucking day to validate everything you come across, and if you’re not doing the experiments yourself you’re trusting someone.
