      And why wouldn’t you. I tend to not bite into the whole thing but suffer from occasional urges to do so.

      Still remember that maybe 10 years ago on our way to Romania two grandpa’s in a restaurant in Hajdúnánás ordered some huge chives to dip in salt with their beers.

      I ordered the same 10 minutes after and both gave me a drinking salute. Still eat it in summer, amazing healthy snack.

        I heard there was a study that said you have to rub hot chilli’s on the outside of the skin first to make it convert the T into something the body can uptake.

        I legit used to work with a lady who would do that. Her dad trolled her with an onion he told her was a weird apple as a kid. She loved it and just kept eating them. She was an interesting individual. In the best way.

        Btw the skin has the most testo boost

        This is misinformation.

        Everyone knows that you get the biggest boost to testosterone by leaving the onions until they start to degrade; yes, this is the point when the chemicals that make you cry are strongest, but if you can hold back the tears then you get +50 testosterone.

          This is disinformation. Everyone knows that you get the highest boost +100 of testosterone if you insert the raw onions in your ass daily. It’s equivalent to squatting 300 lbs.

        Oh yeah and if you rub it in the arm pits you get to make both your skin and the onion testo boost stronger

        Are you allergic to alliums? Or just doesn’t sit well? I think raw onions might not be good for me, so I’m just wondering…

          No idea never heard of that allergy, they just feel weird on my stomach like I want to burp them up or something. They also leave a lingering taste in my toungue.

        I don’t have a dog in this fight, not into fitness and my testosterone seems fine, but I think it’s as ignorant as it is arrogant to decide a whole group of people are assholes because they have certain hobbies or interests or health concerns. Absolutely as ignorant as thinking black people are criminals.

          True, but the people who actually need testosterone will not be well served by researching on fitness forums, and most of the people on fitness forums who are trying to ‘increase their testosterone’ seem fair game as far as an amusing and mostly harmless prank.

          It’s not nearly as close to the racist example as you think since no one is born a fitness bro or coerced into reading a forum post, and if they are, the could spend a minute considering a source. The only person this is likely to harm would be someone desperate to legitimately increase their testosterone, unwilling to go to a doctor and somehow harmed by eating onion. At that point it’s hard to say when a prank would ever be truly safe.

            Yeah, I’m getting the hint that tricking people into self abuse and mocking them is the kind of thing you’d want to teach your kids to do as long as the people deserve it by being lumped into a legitimate target group, and that rationalizing that bit of minor cruelty on social media is super worthwhile.

      These aren’t some vulnerable protected class of people, it’s workout bros, if they can’t look into a study to see it’s bullshit that is on them. I agree though it’s a bit rude.

        Oh I know… crowdsourced blanket judgements of entire groups of people are right as long as the right people do it and they’re right about it. Very common mentality, becoming more so in the meme era. I just don’t happen to agree with it.

            It was a mediocre joke.
            OP posted here something that was originally on r/fit.
            Another commenter suggested they cross-post somewhere else.
            I just suggested that if you have a post about fit, when you cross-post it it becomes about cross-fit.
            You didn’t miss anything interesting ;)

          You’re welcome to disagree. But if you read Paradise Lost or do a little critical analysis and compare the themes of “The serpent in the Garden” with stories like Prometheus (and other fallen angel motifs), it’s pretty easy to see Lucifer/Satan as a sympathetic character, IMHO.

          But then I’ll always tend to lean toward the side advocating for more knowledge over the side advocating for limiting knowledge.

                That’s why I demand all discussions about any mythology to take my personal fictions into account instead of the most common historical versions.

                No, I haven’t shared them with anyone, and they’re clearly marked “Dreams I had Once on The Astral Plane” but if you disagree with my points that they’re relevant to a general understanding of the myths it makes you an idiot theist.

      Raw red onion is amazing in sandwiches, and I’ve eaten chopped white onion on hot dogs, and that’s pretty good, too. Just straight-uo eating an onion by itself? No.

          You don’t seem to understand the meaning of the word “literally.” This post figuratively said so.

              Hi. Third party here. They’re correct: that’s literally not what literally means. Ok thanks bye.

                Fourth party here: definitions are descriptive not prescriptive and vary by common usage. Due to current common usage, literally means both literally and figuratively, with the original definition slowly losing ground. So no one is correct.

                  True, but if you wanted to articulate the concept formerly known as “Literally”, how would you do it? I just woke up, and my brain hasn’t booted all the way to desktop yet, but I can’t immediately think of another word to fill the niche.

                  But is it a figurative burying or a meta-literal one? I mean if you really think about things entomologically and we pick apart the Latin root words of “bury” and “dogpile” we might just find that the meaning of lemmy dogpile changes completely depending on context, literally figuratively.

                  Language is fucked. We really need telepathically beaming abstract concepts directly into brain matter so I don’t have to crawl through linguist brainrot reply chains.
