  • When I was more active in ED spaces, shows like these were really popular. I watched a lot of Supersize v Superskinny but didn’t really bother with the others.

    Came from a starved mindset where I so obsessed with food and weight that I only wanted to watch stuff that related directly to food and weight.

    There was also discussion in ED spaces I was in about how the stuff that these shows were doing was unhealthy and fucked up but had been deemed entertainment and therefore permissable. But us doing similar stuff was (rightfully) seen as fucked up.

    I want to stress that no one in the communities I was in was ever judging the contestants. The only people we were viewing negatively were the producers who were putting people in danger and also like, ourselves.






  • Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from “making a video when they have a topic they care about”, which was still quite frequent, to “scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience” and it’s really killed the magic.

    Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it’s not for me anymore.





  • Oh, I’m aware that a trait surviving doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best and I’m not trying to say that everything from the natural world is something you’d put in a design (you truly cannot understand how much I hate the human musculoskeletal system).

    With that said, there are also a lot of really cool adaptions that can be utilised in R&D. My point was more a general comment about biomimicry being rad. Also, I think I was considering evolution as something of a…database that can be good to use when doing R&D.

    Sorry if this isn’t very coherent…I’m meant to be asleep…

    Also always happy to hear about weird quirks of evolution!
