The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting: How to Start and Maintain It

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a popular eating pattern that alternates between periods of fasting and eating. This approach has gained significant attention due to its potential benefits for weight loss and overall health. In this guide, we will discuss different types of intermittent fasting, how to begin, the benefits for weight loss and health, and tips for maintaining the regimen. Different…

On average, what is the total MONTHLY amount that you spend on dining out*?

*(This doesn't only count going out to restaurants, but also stuff like picking up fast food to bring home, getting a coffee on the way to work, getting a premade sandwich from a grocery store deli during lunch, buying a quick snack from a convenience store or food cart whilst walking somewhere, ordering a pizza or any other food to be delivered to your home, etc.)

*(If you often dine out in groups/as a household: calculate and divide the costs so that you get a Per Person average. This is for YOU individually, NOT the total household/group costs)

(I'm sure polls similar to this have been made before (very common topic), I just haven't personally seen one that I can remember, so, I was curious to do my own! I was discussing this with a group of people today and it was very interesting to see how widely the number varied between individuals. :0c )

(Reblog for bigger sample size if you can, and feel free to explain your answer in tags if there's anything extra to add!)

My take on a revived clover AU

I like to think that monsters preserved the human children as a sort of remembrance using similar magic to their food since it doesn’t expire, but since humans have more physical matter it only delays rotting rather than completely stopping it, and since clover had died being much less harmed because they gave up their soul rather than getting murdered they get to be the first to come back with minor changes since they didn’t rot that much and their internal organs stayed in tact.

Also in this au flowey kinda goes MIA on frisk and doesn’t wanna be friends/isn't ready to talk to them juuuuust yet, clover’s kind of an exception though :D which also means frisk doesn't reaaallly know about clover til weeks later cause clover isn't ready to face martlet starlo or anyone else until they feel ready, dying and choosing to be alone as a 12 year old can be not great for the brain

Flowey is technically clovers guide through the underground but is still trying to get the other humans to wake up so he’s kinda busy but will know if clover is near a save like in game.

I might give this clover figerless gloves to hide the more human-lookin' skin

Clover is actually essentially sneaking around places like waterfall and snowdin town, staying places that have small shops and less people that would be able to recognize them

The tumblr user howlonomy gave me so much brainrot in their au so look at it!!! Their clover is such a creaturr!!!! /pos

JJK Characters/Relationships as Traffic

Gojo Satoru: "One More Lane"

The belief that expansion is the solution instead of fixing the base problem. Later to be removed once its no longer seen as useful and hardly missed

Geto Suguru: Separated Bike Lane

Separated from Jujutsu car society, trying to make a better way.

Kenjaku: Highway bike lane

Pretends to be safe, familiar, but is here to cause death

Gojo Satoru & Geto Suguru & Shoko Ieri: Diverging Diamond Intersection

Crossing paths (KFC) and crossing paths again (JJK0) with a third caught in the middle but not being able to really change anything during the main conflict, literally being passed over. Note how the top two roads also have medians between them. Yeah...

Nanami Kento: Yamanote Line

Normally I try to keep it to road types but I'm counting this since it's a public transportation (and also I love this line). The Yamanote Line is a train line in central Tokyo (here's a cool video that includes a bit about it) that functions in a very practical loop. In subway maps it's always drawn as a perfect circle which I think hearkens to Nanami's 5:30 quirk and watch fairly well. It also has a stop at Shibuya

Haibara Yuu: Dead End

:]

Nanami & Haibara: Cul-de-sac

A dressed up dead end. Driven down while looking at so much life but in the end, to go forward you have to turn around.

Yuuji Itadori: Standard road

Straight forward. Might have a few potholes but it's a classic and reliable

Megumi Fushiguro: Street Renovation

Frustrating. Can feel like everything is being stopped or diverted. Sometimes you just ask yourself if it's better to end it all and start over. But if you let people take the time and care to help, it can be fixed and it'll be better in the end, even if it takes time.

Nobara Kugasaki: Country bus stop

Trying to get away from where you are but stuck in limbo for quite a while. Might miss a lot of things but if you're lucky you'll get there in time. Dreams of big city living

Yuuji & Megumi & Nobara: Carpet

Childish. They're only 16 did you know?

Yuuta Okkutsu + Rika: Tram

Cute. Classy. Lovely. A main car that's supported and guided externally. Pieces that require the other.

Sukuna Ryomen: Displaced Left Turn

Look at it. Does it bring you distress? Does it look like it could kill a lot of people? Yeah? Fuck you

Sukuna & Jogo: Crash at Crush

A planned publicity stunt in 1896. What was supposed to be a controlled crash between two trains unexpectedly caused their engines to explode causing deaths, injuries, and a lot of damage.

Methods of travel between the Infinite Realms and the Living Realm

Note: it is tempting to think of the division, or Veil, as a membrane between the realms. In reality, it is not a skin or wall made of any substance. Rather, it is simply the place where an ectoplasmic reality-space and a mundane-matter reality-space rest against one another. It is less like a film of oil floating on a body of water, and more like the glassy surface of the body of water itself. The water holds itself together with surface tension and you can see the divide, but there is nothing actually separating the water and the air. We will colloquially refer to the Veil as "self-healing", but it's really more like it is settling. Simply the increasingly-entropic nature of the mundane reality and the decreasingly-entropic nature of the ectoplasmic reality finding a steady point they're both happy with.

1. Slicing a hole in the division.

Some ghosts specialize in this. It's fairly easy if you have a good sense of fourth-dimensional space and a sharp edge. The cut will self-heal, though, especially if it's messy, so it can be difficult to open a wider gap or leave it open for more than a moment. The mechanics of the slicing are fairly simple; like a shark fin about to surface, a blade that's almost touching the division causes currents that disrupt the fields enough to allow for the tip to easily pass through (see Method 3 below for further explanation), and then the wider part of the blade increases the size of the cut. The trick is in not touching the tip to the Veil before it's been destabilized. Perfektigas Tranĉadon is a good practical guide.

2. Punching a hole in the division.

With enough force (the true amount necessary is not exactly known, but it is known to be colossal), the division can be pushed and broken. This results in a hole which takes a long time to close on its own and produces a number of "shards" or "bubbles" of the division, which can knock their surroundings askew in the fourth dimension. These shards introduce incontinuities in spacetime, which will quickly equalibriate but momentarily pose a threat to laws maintained by continuous spacetime. The punching process also results in a jet of reality-material from the entrance side to the exit side. For further information, consider reading Continuous Space: Geometry and the Infinite Realms. This is the method perfected by the Ring of Rage, and it can also be achieved by any object with enough momentum (that is, velocity times the sum of ectoplasmic mass and mundane mass) being flung at the right fourth-dimensional angle.

3. Exciting the division until it is permeable.

If the spaces in realities on either side of one area are sufficiently energized, the Veil in that area can loosen up into a chaotic mixture of mundane and ectoplasmic space, which is not practically impossible to pass through like a smooth division is. This creates an illusion of a smooth gradient between mundane and ectoplasmic reality— in actuality, a space cannot be simultaneously ectoplasmic and mundane. This would be an impossibility, and, if it impossibly came to be, result in totality-altering paradoxes¹. It's more like tiny pockets of reality too interspersed to be noticeable, like an emulsion of milkfat in water (milk) or an aerosol of water in air (fog). The biggest issues with this method are (1) exciting the ectoplasmic field and quantum field simultaneously and (2) containing the excitement such that it doesn't dissipate in the Living Realm and/or coalesce in the Infinite Realms. Thus far, this is the only portaling method managed by mundane technology, and it is also the one usually used by summonings which do not rely on the summoned ghost for transportation (or fail to peovide transportation at all). Use of Ectoenergetic Excitement Alongside Gauge Field Dynamics in Ectoplasmic Portalling, being written by living scientists, is not a perfect explanation of the "how" or "why", but it explains the "what" pretty nicely.

4. Teleporting.

Ghosts with an ability to rewrite their position in spacetime, via whatever method, generally have no more issue moving interdimensionally than moving intradimensionally. The division only acts as a barrier when moving continuously. If your "teleportation" has issues with interdimensional movement being stopped at the division, it is possible you are actually moving continuously and simply too quickly or abstractly to notice.

5. Simply shifting your balance.

An item or entity which is positioned perfectly on the division can "tip over" onto one side or the other without facing any resistance. This is largely not an actionable method, as it is practically-impossible to obtain the perfect positioning and would require using one of the other methods to obtain it in the first place. Additionally, the smallest destabilization in fourth-dimensional space will tip the object, and the "fall" is not reversible. While a balance on the division is technically at equilibrium, it is a weak equalibrium in this sense and is not stable. An object which is stable in a state of being wholly ectoplasmic and mundane simultaneously (an entity fitting this description is known as a "true halfa", "Limenarch", "owuw-uwow", or y'know just their name that they go by for once) is, however, always positioned perfectly along that balance, and can shift one way or the other without being disrupted. There is no other writing published on this topic that I can find, so you'll just have to take my word on it.

6. Bringing one space to another.

On rare occasions, usually the work of powerful beings with domains in space or reality, such as certain Ancients or the Ghost King, an area of one reality is moved to an area previously occupied by another. In this circumstance, the shift generally causes enough chaos and mixing that the division is permeable. If it happens quickly or instantaneously, though, and the reality that was previously occupying the space is not moved out of the way, the impact with the division can be sudden and dangerous.

7. Entering a black hole.

I'm not entirely sure why this happens. The mundane matter that enters a black hole in the Living Realm measurably becomes a part of the black hole itself, so why does it also appear in the Infinite Realms? Does this disrupt the conservation of matter/energy, or are the two dimensions already on opposite sides of that coin? It seems impossible to tell, as the Infinite Realms have an infinite hypervolume. This is a puzzle that hasn't been solved yet, to my knowledge. Grab something made out of mundane matter and try it sometime, if you can survive immeasurable gravitational pull. It's pretty mind-boggling.

8. Using a natural portal.

Most of the phenomena described above can happen without intentional cause, thus forming a short-lived natural portal. When influenced by certain currents in ectoplasmic flow, these passages can be at odd temporal angles as well as spacial. Thus a natural portal is more likely to cross time than an intentional portal, only a few methods and users of which have been noted to be capable of transtemporal travel. There are not currently any known instances of mundane matter or energy causing a portal which crosses time. Most community centers in the Infinite Realms will have resources available for tracking natural portals.

ive talked to a lot of ppl who have taken vyvanse now and i think ik a bit more on how i need to live on it

[melissa-xoxo09]

hey girlies, just so you know I'm coaching atm if any of y'all would like some help!

[moccasins]

so, i learned that nightmare ate 999 apples today.

so. me being the weirdo i am, i calculated it. the average time it takes to eat an apple is roughly 1-3 minutes according to google and reddit. i suck at math so y'all might need to correct me but 3 minutes per apple is 49.95 hours. 1 minute per apple is 16.65 hours.

the world record for apple eating is 38.10 seconds.

that's still 10.57 hours 😭

did the villagers just watch this child eat apples for 1-2 days??

[identitty-dickruption]

does anyone else feel like their bones are exploding if they try to sit still for even two seconds or is it just my adhd ass. and also bunnies and other prey animals, probably

[housecow]

Is it easy to hide from friends, roommates or family that you intentionally eat more and therefore buy a lot more food?

this is SUCH a good question!!! it is not easy at all :(( my friends don’t mind because i’ve been a glutton like this for a decade, but roommates are a whole different matter. i will admit my food takes up most of the freezer and fridge 😭 i’ve talked to them though and they know that if there are any issues concerning it, they can talk to me and we’ll figure it out :)) i also share a lot of my food so it’s not too much of an issue

my family though agsksjshs. they’re the difficult ones… obviously any food i take is going to be noticed by them, so when i’m visiting i try to cut back on what needs to be refrigerated / frozen

this holiday season, however, i’m trying a strategy called “eating so much there’s nothing to hide”
