That’s fair. Rutger Hauer can actually act. But he would disappear into the background if he were to be put onscreen next to Bronson.

I guess, but what is in it for them? I get it that some people inflate stuff or add to stories to get reckognition or to be admired. Then again it may be their personality?
Math is hard. They probably do stuff like entering 1.5 cups of uncooked rice when they really ate 1.5 cups of cooked rice. 1.5 cups of dry rice will turn in to about 4.5 cups of cooked rice. They also might just estimate and be incredibly ignorant about nutrition facts.

It’s to feed the delusion that you can eat whatever you want and still be shredded and strong, and if you follow their program so can you.
It’s a form of a humblebrag… “Oh God I had to eat 3 pieces of cheesecake to hit my calorie requirements… not looking forward to the 3 burgers I have to eat for lunch tomorrow” says shredded instagrammer
Followers will see that and go “wow, I want to eat cheesecake and burgers and have a six pack!”

I also think it’s kind of along the lines of bragging about how much you can drink. There is a certain quality of being macho associated with over consumption of food or alcohol.

I apologize, I used your comment as an opportunity to make a silly joke. The comment itself was hyperbole, but because I employed hyperbole within the comment, it ends up making the comment itself less hyperbolic.
I should pay more attention when reading, I admit that I didn’t get the joke when I initially read your comment, even though I find it obvious now.
Classic response to @T3hPwnisher commentary.

Close enough…there is 3 levels of hell there. 1st the actual melt department 2nd the Die cast area which is a sauna since water is used to quick cool the casting . 3rd is every were else which still suck… adding insult to injury depending in what department one is in long sleeves and hard hats are required.

The part I hate about foundry work the most is the sand all over the damn place. Had to manage refractory at a place near Erie, the casting sand was ankle deep most places. They’d pop the molds open and just let the sand fly with no concern as to where it went. Quotas to meet and all. About once a month they’d drive a machine around to vac it up and use it again.

That would be a huge understatement

I watched a show where they asked people to track their food for a day.
Ofcourse they completely stuffed it but my favourite was the woman who ate 3 or 4 sweets through the day and didn’t count them because “they were small and she ate them quickly” lol

I didn’t know speed was a factor! I’ve been doing it wrong.
You just need to confuse the stomach.
Eat a carrot slowly, inhale half a cake then finish off with big bites of cabbage.
Your body won’t notice the cake if you eat that way.

This is exactly the reason I gave up trying to count calories haha.
But I know if I cook 4 cups of raw rice and divide it into 4 portions once cooked I’m eating a lot
70% of the time it works everytime

Your GI tract will notice the cabbage. Cabbage cannot be ignored.
