Staying healthy isn’t only about living longer, it’s about quality of life while alive.
You’ll understand when you get older.
Yeah - quality of life eating bullshit food to die at 77 instead of 76
Drop soda. Treat it as a one time a week treat. Will change your life
We had a guy come talk to us about this at work, a researcher. The way he explained it was that staying healthy let you have more years that feel good, getting old more slowly doesn’t necessarily mean you will live longer, but live without disease then get something that kills you fast.
So that if, for example, you live to 80, get old at 70, not 50, so that you don’t have to be old for 30 years. That’s the point of the whole longevity push and it is actually working, people are aging more slowly.
Boomer facebook logic on Lemmy makes me sad.
It’s pretty wild how rapidly this place declines as it grows in popularity.
Just like reddit. Lazier and lazier users, producing the same lazy commentary and totally obsessed with self-pitying themselves and blaming everyone else for their woes. Shit’s wild.
I just don’t get why people find this crap so appealing or funny. But also, apparently anyone who doesn’t use Linux is needs to be ‘re-educated’ about his holy computing lord, Linux. I’m starting to get this super weird Linux PMs from psychopaths who think your OS is some sort of religious thing.
Look the linux stuff keeps away the really annoying people so just play along until they realize it
I use Arch BTW.
1990s NY cab driver voice Fuck off
linux is fine for nerds. normal people are never going to use it.
That’s what people used to say about Computers, DnD, etc. I think the steamdeck is a fairly good evidence that with a little commercial support linux works just fine.
When you are in your death bed you’ll ask yourself what you could have done for a few more good years

In bad health you can ask yourself what you could have done if you were in good health.
Wrong. Quality of life is worth more than a few extra years of eating bugs
it’s worse than you think.
it’s not like you stop aging at 30 and just die early. no, no no no. it’s far more sinister than that.
In winter I wake up with massive migraines, because my back got cold in the middle of the night.
every time I turn my head left or right, it’s like gravel is grinding between my vertebrae.
I called into work one day because I slept wrong. that’s right. my body was in so much pain because I slept wrong.
I can’t eat too much bread or my acid reflux triggers my heart condition and I feel my heart literally stopping.
I sit on the can trying to shit unsuccessfully for over an hour, which triggers my hemorrhoids and makes it painful when I finally do get to shit my three day back"log".
oh yeah, can’t shit? back injury triggered. I took a shit so hard one time my back popped out of alignment. I needed help to get off the shitter.
being healthy doesn’t give you more years. being healthy gives you better years.
quality of life over quantity of life.
all you young shits need to take care of your health, because when it’s gone you’ll never get it back.
