Adding @frongt@lemmy.zip's comment with some good context here:
each 50 gram portion of processed meat eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18%
And processed meat is defined as:
meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood. Examples of processed meat include hot dogs (frankfurters), ham, sausages, corned beef, and biltong or beef jerky as well as canned meat and meat-based preparations and sauces.
And if you want a visual for 50g of processed meat: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/five-meats-by-the-slice-see-how-little-50-grams-actually-is-1.3289822
So that’s a reasonable amount for a regular meat-eating person to consume through meat dishes day to day.

8 Injustices + 1 Chief Injustice = 9 handshakers. Each handshaker shakes 8 people's excluding themselves, but you musn't count the same handshake twice for each person.The first shakes 8 times and is done. The second shakes 7 times because the 8th was already included in the count of the first person....
8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=36
If you want to make the arithmetic faster for any number, (n+1)*n / 2 is the closed form expression for summing the (whole) numbers 1 to n
So (8+1)*8/2 = 36 in this case
Yes absolutely, but that is only faster when n is large enough to become unwieldy, or the pr9cess needs to be repeated for various numbers of shakers. When doing it in your head for a single low number question this is where I landed.
