dude is sticking his gut out and still looks better

[–] irelephant@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

he lost his watch.

Actually, dude in 2025 looks like a small-time mob-boss, way cooler.

This has inspired me to work on my grindset until I, too, can time travel.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 1 day ago

I am very intrigued about this.

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Where is this from? It looks like an 80's game.

[–] azzlan@feddit.uk 8 points 1 day ago

The quote is from a classified ad from 1997. Here's the wiki page on it.

They also made the idea into a film. I quite enjoyed it

[–] 5765313496@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It was a YTMND meme.

And then someone made a movie on the same subject.

Let me know if you have any more questions about YTMND memes from 2005!

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They made a movie based on this. It's called "Safety Not Guaranteed" and it was OK given the premise.

I'm actually learning to time travel. Still not perfect. It often takes me seven days to travel a week into the future but still

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Wait... Is your mind just traveling back as your past self, or are you just traveling back in time as your fat self? Because one is just having memories, and the other is just you fat but back in 2023.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

pfft dude you can't travel back as your past self your brain is already in your head it would explode

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

or your past self switch places with your future self.

As someone that struggles to get calories this is more inspirational than you'd think

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

is it valid to be jealous of someone else's problems?

for me losing weight is a nightmare. definitely have an eating disorder, why couldn't it be the eating disorder that makes me skinny?!??

[–] Ging@anarchist.nexus 5 points 1 day ago

I don't know what valid means in this context, but everyone is fighting their own conflicting battles.

I think it's natural to desire easier problems in times of struggle, but to perceive others' struggles as preferable is a means of avoidance rather than confronting and adequately reconciling the root or core cause(s). 2¢

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'm so jealous of people who have to hit minimums. I have the worst time controlling my intake.

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

It's feeling bad after you eat because you ate too much vs feeling bad while you eat because you're forcing yourself to eat. Neither extreme is fun, I can promise you that.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

The only upside is that others look at you and think you're healthy. I don't think eating more than your body wants is any easier than eating less.

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Intermittent fasting is a good tool to help take in calories. Of course this assumes you're consuming mostly whole foods. If you eat a lot of higly processed food you can still ingest way too many calories, even with a small eating window

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Since January, I have stopped consuming any calories other than what comes in my non-sweetened tea until lunch time. You wouldn't believe how my stomach bothers me while waiting!

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Still bothers you and it's been so long? Damn... I've been doing it for a month and I'm already used it.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I wake up with fairly severe nausea every day and it lasts until I eat something.

[–] undeffeined@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

How close to bedtime do you eat? I eat milk curd (21g of protein) mixed with protein powder (42g) around 1h before going to sleep and i wake up fine.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

We usually eat at 7:30, though I tend to snack afterwards. It's very confusing for sure.

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Drink a protein shake or something in the morning?

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

That's what I use to do but stopped doing in order to lose weight.

@The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world

Why did you have to go and make this personal?

...Now where did the rest of those donuts go?

[–] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

How did the skin colour change?

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 56 points 2 days ago (2 children)

we brown people get darker during summertime

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 65 points 2 days ago (3 children)

That makes no sense, there's more light during summer, you should get lighter not darker.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Right you are, Ken.

[–] DarthFreyr@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's more light during the summer because it all leaves the people, duh.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 days ago

Leaves don’t leave until fall.

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I actually thought you were serious for a moment

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Pretty starkly different light between the two shots, and seasonal tone differences.

[–] windowsphoneguy@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Didn’t the instance shut down?
