I looked him up and he is English. Weren't English sailors called Limeys because of the lime juice in their rations, specifically for scurvy prevention? He should have signed up with the Admiralty instead of the pirates.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 85 points 1 month ago

Funny enough...

  1. Yes.

  2. The lime juice was meant as a cheaper alternative to lemon juice. And it wasn't very effective, lmao. National militaries and sabotaging the health of their troops to save a buck - name a more iconic duo.

Taking care of yourself is gay. "Real men" reduce their life expectancy by purposefully living an unhealthy lifestyle.

Damn, I never realized I was so masculine!

According to the internet, he did it at university, eating nothing but mince, chicken, and mayonnaise for about 2 months. He did so to annoy other students in his classes who were vegan or vegetarian.

I’ve actually heard a few stories of uni students getting scurvy, although they were because they either didn’t know how to cook or couldn’t afford food.

It seems like many in here dont realise that you can be gay and masculine at the same time.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 1 month ago

In the same way that you can be straight and feminine at the same time.

then why are my masc 4 masc posts never answered

[-] NotAnonymousAtAll@feddit.org 11 points 1 month ago

I would argue that people who feel the need to prove their masculinity tend to be the ones not realizing that, and people here are making fun of that.

To be fair, he said he did this his first year in college- everyone did dumb shit in college.

One sure sign that you're not masculine, is doing things to show others how masculine you are.

So… is it ok to move your human to an all meat diet?

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Quite apparently no. Give your omnivorous human the vitamins it needs!

In medival times if you could afford to only eat meat it meant you were a rich soft fancy boy.

[-] ChanchoManco@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

Pretty much the same as now then.

On one hand it's stupid to sabotage your health to appear more masculine. On the other hand casually bringing up that you have contracted a pirate illness in conversation does sound pretty damn masculine.

haha, happened to me:

its copper deficency by zink overload.-

without copper, there is multiple things that go wrong. but it takes time to deplete copper stores. zink always wins against copper, and meat is full of zink.

vitamin c d, and iron wont work without copper.

I did that because I develeoped grain allergy, and was insuline resistant.

I eat grains again, but sparingly.

went down from 95 kilos to 65.

fun fact:

nobody talks about that. carnivore influencer dont, thats for sure.

It is pretty funny that eating meat is still seen as a masculine thing. Pff what? Tofu? No i buy my meat like a real man in this other isle, next to the tofu.

Should’ve eaten some sauerkraut and fried onions! The manliest of all vegetables! Has the bonus effect of repelling ladies up to 5 feet away!

Keeping femalehood at bay, now THAT's masculine af

[-] yemmly@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Maybe I’m slow or something, but I don’t get how eating meat is masculine.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 51 points 1 month ago

Not slow, just lucky to have not encountered such cretins. There is a very non-zero amount of men who believe that 'traditional' masculinity includes avoiding 'feminine' foods, including 'rabbit food' (ie anything green, leafy, or vaguely healthy). The meat-only diet is the natural extension of this line of thinking to the full caveman-stereotype conclusion.

[-] yemmly@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

Sounds like insecurity to me.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

Very much so.

[-] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

The stupidest thing is that actual cave people probably couldn't catch meat daily and thus also ate a lot of gathered plants.

There are a lot of reasons to not like James Blunt, but there is one reason to like James Blunt, which is when he parodied his own hit song on Sesame Street. And that is the one reason I still like James Blunt. A little.

James Blunt is hilarious. Awful music but excellent at self-deprecating humour

Broccoli and tomatoes are okay, but carrots are questionable, and zucchini is hella gay.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Zucchini is shaped like a penis. It doesn't get any more manly than that.

What kinda fragile masculinity can't handle a bit o' scurvy?

Scurvy is one of the manliest diseases, though, so he kind of failed this one successfully

No it isn't.
