  1. If i'm just sitting all day and dont move my body my limbs get cold. If I go to gym or move at work for 5 hours I can sit in the same room and same temperature with warm limbs for hours. Move your body so blood circulates imo
  2. Post your personal fasting experience and anecdotal knowledge here. Some trustworthy articles and videos are welcome as well. Some stuff from my end : I've done dozens of one day water fasts over 5 years. A little himalayan salt is a must, otherwise the fatigue is unbearable. As Leo said in his fasting update blog video, if you are regularely consuming sugar and coffee and actually carbs even, the first couple of days of fasting will literally feel like coming off drugs. Extreme emotional fluctuation, negativity, grogginess, lack of energy, etc. I've also done OMAD , a form of intermittent fasting, for a whole year, where I eat one big meal a day. Energy wise it's alright, I do some work on an empty stomach and later at night after all is done I eat, when I don't care if I get some fog or not . That ended up giving me an eating disorder where I'd basically end up bingeing at night, which is actually quite understandable since it's actually impossible to eat 2500 calories in one sitting unless you were eating two sticks of butter or a bottle of olive oil. I overcame that with lots of effort but that helped me to get somewhat fat addapted ( not feeling extremely hungry and weak when not eating carbs ) Then I have done Keto diet on and off for more than a year, now about 4 months non-stop. I had done a 72 water fast during this time and I must say that getting into the fast coming from keto diet is a day and night difference from when I was eating carbs. It's so much more efortless and painless. You already are in ketosis before the fast even beggins. Also fat adaptation : After a couple of months on being on a Keto diet it feels like the body "learns the language of using fats as fuel". This means that I could eat carbs one day, and one day after I'd have no problem switching to keto again really quick again, with no 3 day ramp up time. Other things : magnesium supplements help to feel more energized. I'll try to add some potasium in as well, since electrolytes need to balance eachother out as I've heard ( Sodium / potasium , magnesium / calcium . . . etc ) Breaking the fast : Fruits, fatty fish, vegetables = terrible for me. apple puree, bananas no good . I had broken the 72 h water fast with 100% pea protein and it was super gentle. No brain fog, no reactions, no bloating, etc. I also shed some gratefulness tears into my tasty bone broth lmao - no reactions, no fatigue - no bloating. Later that day first normal meal was 300g of lean pork meat. CHEW PROPERLY. CHEW 100 TIMES PER PIECE. And all was good. You could have some black coffee if you want, it's 0 calories and "gives you some energy " . I tested this and it was nice, although I usually stay away from it. I used to have severe bloating issues for my whole life. Also daily diharrea till the point where I didn't even notice it. It was so normal I thought it was normal. That's gone now.
  3. Maybe you have a cool outlandish far fetched idea, but you won't act up on it. Share it here and plant the seed in someone else's mind. Or let's just have cuppa' laughs. Here are some ideas : Patent an external hard keyboard for smartphones. something like the old blackberries but better. For men with patchy beards : Create a business around some kind of DIY overnight facial cast. ( for example, wearing a cast on your broken arm during a period of time is the exact environment to stimulate hair growth ) Scale the business of renting out people to do nothing : Code an app like Uber that allows people to pick up your kids from school okay nevermind that last one, you get the idea. Post your juiciest ideas here. ( inspiration from https://www.actualized.org/insights/guerilla-business-advice ) Edit : more Offer your services of physically beating someone up with your group of friends if the customer doesn't get done what he wants to get done by when he wants to get it done. He better stop procrastinating by then. Create micro camaras that you can attach to pigeons recording " drone footage " that you can upload as stock footage. Create a school to train pigeons to deliver small packages. Call it " deliveRoo" . Figure out how. Revolutionize the archaic school system and college. Boi that's a hefty one.
  4. Nice guys, keep giving me more possibilities to OCD about while tripping lol. Blenders knifes windows hot stoves, stabbing the wife i dont have...
  5. Nice contrast with our day to day rigidity
  6. It was an insightful experience. So I was having a dream where someone grabbed me by the forearm and was about to get into some kind of fight with me. I tried to break off but I wasn't physically strong enough. Which in retrospect seems laughable. Not strong enough? In my dream? That's when it clicked: it's the same limitation mechanism as " In real life" . You are "so limitless" within "the dream" that you can even manage to limit yourself. Huh. Also, another insight I had: I was fantasizing about creating the most inmersive " movie experience" . I was thinking how cool would it be if I could make people experience realistic virtual reality . Where you are so inmersed you forget your life. Im talking about sounds, smells, touch, moving around, virtual people, etc etc. Then I realized the most inmersive experience of being a human had already been done. It's right here :0
  7. Get into wok cooking guys. Get a home wok burner and have 3 minute meals. Only thing I've seen break in these in years is the handle
  8. Fun little video putting the wealth of Jeff bezos into perspective. R.I.P Byron anyways. He was treating his depression with mushrooms and his psychologist told him he does not support his decision.
  9. I've done 2-3g of Psilocybe cubensis and I was afraid of the same. I didn't know what to expect from a mushroom trip which is kind of irresponsible from me. But I felt relatively sane during the trip so I did end up sitting in my 5th floor balcony looking down at people walking by. Didn't desire to hop or anything
  10. @Phyllis Wagner you just got yourself a big money idea. Scale the business of un-sticking peoples pans (?)
  11. I had the same issue until i learned to cook on lower heat. Also good ammounts of coconut oil help. And adding a little water so the pan is never dry heat. My topp 3 cooking tips for ya
  12. I love having some shrimps or mussels from time to time. But recently I've seen videos of those Thai waste consuming shrimp farms and ugh... Also I realized mussels are pretty much livers in a shell. They are like a filter for all the crap that's in the water. So goodbye my shramps. Or can anyone here link some good resources on how to pick the right seafood without breaking the piggy bank?
  13. This video " Exposes" Napoleon Hill as the biggest con artist . I have no idea about any kind of proof but I feel this fits here
  14. Leaked blog post of kyLeo after 30 day strong determination Ketamine retreat ( just kidding ) ?
  15. I had some mild heart palpitations after 8 hours on 1/4 th tab of modafinil. I take 300 mg L-theanine, Lions mane, bacopa monnieri, and ginkgo biloba ( + omega 3 and vitamins ) and I don't feel any side effects. Maybe a little gut irritability as the vitamin c pill sits in the gut for hours and hours. When I took L-theanine and a cup of coffe I had INMENSE ammounts of physical energy for like 1 hour and then I had severe restlesness and heart palpitations for the next 6 hours or so. I do not recommend mixing this if you are as sensible to caffeine as I am .
  16. @Yali consciousness is like a snapchat filter. The experience is one way or another depending the filter you have selected. If you only had the dog face filter your whole life you think it's how stuff really is, and only way it can be. Untill you learn to swipe to the sides and access other filters ;0 Or like a fish that has beeing swimming in water his whole life thinking its the only liquid in existance, an nort even noticing the water at all. But then you drop the fish into a pit of acid and he completely melts, and experiences being the whole pit. And then he "survives" And goes back to the water, wondering wtf
  17. @mmKay Besides sugar. That sh1t is addicting AF no matter the ammount
