    A calorie is a unit of measurement. In terms of how much energy you are consuming, which is what matters for weight gain, there is literally no difference between one calorie and another.

    “Empty calories” does have a meaning and it’s that something is ‘just’ calories with no additional nutrients. Not eating any nutrients will make you sick, but not obese.












  • Again, it’s not about links or about comments. It’s about the focus of the content. My friend, I have been shitposting on the Internet quite likely longer than you’ve been alive, so no, I’m not ignoring the content. And I was on Facebook for the best part of a decade so no, no shame there either.

    But Usenet isn’t social media. Forums aren’t social media. Comment boxes aren’t social media.
