People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

And your brain won't work because it requires at least 110 grams of carbs to function normally. Then you might start saying things like "if you're only eating protein you don't need fibre"

Gluconeogenesis is a thing. So while correct, it doesn't have to be dietary carbs.

Fair enough, that being said, eating exclusively protein is still likely to result in death from nutrient deficiency, kidney overload, protein poisoning, the list goes on.

But thats not as funny.

Though a fruit only diet, that's funny.

All those negatives notwithstanding, you still don't need fiber in your diet if you're only eating protein.

I mean if you just eat steak and eggs you're not going to shit. As I said earlier it was a tactic we used for making weight.

Not shitting is a great way to get colon cancer.

You've obviously never done anything like this and have no idea what you're talking about.
