You walked a thin line between non-normie and wackadoo, but never crossed it :)
@flamingkeys@fosstodon.org
@freemo @flamingkeys Haha why thank you!
@flamingkeys I don’t think there’s anything wrong with normies being on the #Fediverse. There are quite a few on mstdn.social and #QOTO, they ain’t hurting nobody.
@freemo
> I think youll find needing to cook them longer wont make a huge difference. The vast majority of the nutrients are likely lost early on in the cooking process. Any additional cooking wont make as big a difference.
seems to be right, with the exception of cooking in the microwave (which is imho under appreciated):

> I havent found any evidence to suggest there is an adapting issue here either. Most of the "chemicals" we use, as you point out, are just extracted from natural ingredients anyway. Those that arent havent really been shown to have any health effects.
i was more thinking of the amounts here, which tend to be added in bigger quantities than naturally occurring.
Look into mastodon.py - it doesn't provide exactly what you're asking for, but it exposes the tools you'd need to script a solution yourself.
@freemo so far QOTO is easily the best instance on the fediverse imo.
Good size, isnt blocked by many instances, well moderated
Just updated our user bot so it shows the all-time stats from the beginning of server inception (3 years), before it was just showing the last 6 months.
We still have the weekly stats published as well.
It is kinda cool to see the changes over 3 years of progress.
@freemo @bonifartius Yeah, a lot of the time the “eat no preprocessed food” idea boils down to a quasi-religious belief in things being “unnatural”, which I’ve always found funny, seems to stem from the whole “human created as separate from animal/nature” bullshit. But there are some, some legitimate concerns, and salt is the big one, agreed.
@freemo @aexiruch
imho, what is healthy regarding to food can be completely different from person to person as long as you get everything that your body needs. not eating preprocessed stuff is nearly always good though.
hot take: ultraprocessed vegan food from around the globe is probably morally worse than locally sourced free-range meat. "think global buy local" :P
This is really interesting. They colorized a photo by overlaying some lines in a grid and ONLY adding color to the lines but over-saturating the color. The rest of the image is black and white.
The result is that at a distance or in the thumbnail it just looks like an ordinary color photo. It is only when you look up close you notice what is going on.
After being up for only about a week QOTO's main matrix chat room (the lobby) is approaching 100 users (including guests). Really happy I brought up the service, I've enjoyed all the chats.
For those interested you can join the chat here. If you arent logged in you'll be a guest, highly recommend registering though as you cant do much as a guest.
@freemo chuckle So true… I’m a vegetarian and I am terribly annoyed by all the people who go all “oh, I try to eat healthy, too”. That isn’t my reason, and, given that I manage to be quite fat, it isn’t a particularly good reason in the first place 😛
