The only one I can think about are financial advises: 1. Do not ever spend more than you have and 2. Never sign something on the street or a the door.

Both have been very useful in life.

I’m not at a computer rn, but to make it short:

The key experimental trial told participants that the average erect penis size of other men was either 18cm (small penis / low self-esteem) or 10cm (large penis / high self-esteem) and was always followed by rating of one of six sports cars. […] After the experimental trials, participants were told that some of the facts that they had been told were incorrect, and they were asked to give their estimates of the true values of these facts, including the true average penis size.

So if someone told me the average penis size is 18 cm I would call that bullshit. But let us assume all the 195 participants fully believed these numbers. They need to know their own penis size to make a comparison. Then this is about if “I feel I am below average”. Then they rated sport cars based on “how much they would like to have that product”

Sorry, but that does not sound very sound to me.

We increased our male participants’ desire for sports cars when we made them feel they had a relatively small penis. Why cars and why penises? These results raise intriguing questions for future research. Does penis size effect only ratings for sports cars, or other highly prized items as well? Does penis size have a connection to male self-esteem that just much stronger than the other factors we manipulated in this experiment. If we manipulated other equally strong factors – men’s beliefs about their intelligence or wealth perhaps - we would find a similar effect on product ratings? Or perhaps there is just something specific linking cars and penises in the male psyche. That hypothesis is supported by the data in this paper, and would explain the existence of the phallic car trope in everyday jokes, advertisements and academic discourse […]

What kind of conclusion is that? This is written like a blog article, not like a scientific paper. The conclusion has only 3 references. In total the paper is pretty short, but to be fair I don’t know what’s common in psychology either.

However what is most suspicious - this is a non peer reviewed preprint from 2023 and I cannot find the publication. So I guess it was declined, if it was even sent in

I looked through the study for fun, and it looks rather poorly made tbh. Also it’s a non peer reviewed preprint from 2023.

I think assuming men need to compensate for a body parts appearance they can’t influence is a pretty idiotic thing.

The tankie triad and anything anime related. I swear anime bros make a new comm for each of their favorite characters in a specific outfit

Ok, but I would say that’s more a Lemmy disadvantage!

What are the disadvantages of piefed over Lemmy?

How do you thaw meat overnight the right way? I’m vegetarian and honestly don’t know

Bypass Paywall Clean was the defacto standard for bypassing paywall until it got taken down. It can reliably bypass the paywalls of hundreds of different international news agencies. If you can achieve that with a UBlock script I will be very happy if you could share it.

I am using it. I found it very suspicious it is hosted on a Russian website at first. However because of copyright violations the author couldn’t leave the extension on a server the US/EU can access.
The extension clearly states which websites it is accessing and you can look through the whole list. I did that a while ago and found nothing suspicious. I trust the author, but you can never know for sure.

First time I read about that feature. It seems it starts counting only after you enable it, unfortunately.

That’s why you shouldn’t have big tech accounts in the first place!

I am going to the gym 1-2 times a week for about 2 years now. I think I started to see the first signs after about half a year.
I am not super well defined as I would need to go more often than 2 times a week, but you can see I am a bit more muscular than the average. However, my belly is still there, and if I am not cruel to myself it won’t get away. If you want to lose weight, 90% is diet.

I recommend to shoot some photos to track your progress. When you see yourself daily in the mirror, it’s much harder to tell a difference.

But yeah as others said, especially in the beginning it’s much more about feeling healthy than seeing a lot of difference.

I ended up buying the Lift Vertical and I cannot confirm what you are saying. The click does not need a lot of pressure and the mouse does not move at all. I do not need to tense my hand. So far I am pretty happy with it and I feel it really relaxes my wrist.
I will report back in some weeks though, if the pain is really gone.

Btw. I have a height adjustable desk already.

Exercising is part of my precious me-time. I put on a good podcast or some nice music and have a good time. No stress, no hanging on the phone, no Netflix - this is my opportunity to dwelve into thoughts or just do nothing. It is super relaxing.

Trolls, Tankies and Antisemites is what I tag.
