Intermittent fasting from dawn to sunset induces anticancer response

The problem with this, for too many people, is that they've never felt "good". They don't have a point of reference they could use to guide them to a better lifestyle

They only know the right-now and that's good enough for them.

This is something I've seen with my friends and family who have never been in good shape. They don't know that it's possible to go up 3 flights of stairs 2-3 steps at a time at a brisk pace and NOT be panting with exhaustion afterwards. They don't know that it's not normal to fart 24/7 and have constant heartburn, because that's all they've ever known.

Brave letting a humorous comment rip in this study hall. Hope it doesn’t backfire. ;)

Bravo! And because this is HN let me add: I love seeing light hearted responses like this that elicit a smile, on HN. Where the overall tone is normally very serious :)

I disagree. I regularly downvote comments whose purpose is largely for humour. Not because they aren't funny/witty/clever, but because this is Hacker News, not Reddit. Let's keep it that way.

Humor on the internet has a weird way of spreading and just destroying any conversation. So often I go to the comments on reddit hoping for further insight or a different point of view, only to find the top three threads are memes and puns.

However, I did enjoy this limited foray into humor, and appreciate that we can seemingly keep it limited to a couple funny comments, and still have intelligent conversation.

Agree, and it is interesting because offline, humor has a way of aiding conversations.

Or maybe allow some diversity in the mood of the conversation? There is always a time and a place for humor and non-serious conversation. I get that you don't want this forum to devolve, but it also devolves if you are dead set on a single mode of operation.

Well, to be frank, he did say farting was 24/7 - and not intermittent.

They're certainly missing out on the joy of self satisfaction.
