styropyro

He has some mystery condition where his testosterone is super high... He's very smart, but maybe not quite there.

Tbh if you told me there's a STEM youtuber with worryingly high levels of testosterone, Styropyro would be my first guess

That's literally who I thought about and I'm so glad someone mentioned it. He's a freakishly smart dude.

high five, random internet poster. I came here to make a similar comment :)

How is he now btw? Is he getting treated? Did they find a root cause?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's posted very little on it. Last we heard they didn't find any cancers or anything and he wasn't really suffering from it. He had some strange symptoms and it it just came up in tests that didn't like up with what he was there for. But it was really really high.

[–] sangeteria@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, as long as it isn't negatively affecting him I guess. But I assume that he'll have to somewhat regularly monitor it with bloodwork checkups

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, we have to assume he's in good hands. No good to assume anything else
