Lift less weight then, there is no reason to get injured in the gym if you have a normal body, proper form and lift reasonable weight. From an health point of view it's better to squat/deadlift a mere 60kg safely than trying to go for 200kg+ and snap a disk for absolutely no reason. 100% of my injuries are gym related, because I threw my back exactly once, and since then I lift reasonable weights and focus on proper execution/form

Some people believe "high intensity" means lifting as much as possible as fast as possible, I'd say more reps and deliberately slow movements are as intense for the purpose of staying in shape/healthy.

Most body weight exercises are virtually impossible to fuck up to the point of injury, done properly they'll keep you fitter than 99% of the population

Yeah sure, if you hold the biggest firework you can legally buy in a closed fist something bad will happen, otherwise it's very unlikely... You're far more likely to cause damage by throwing rocks

It depends what sunscreen you use: mineral vs chemical font behave the same, on how much you used, on what you're doing.

Chemical ones go bad with exposure to sun, mineral ones not as much, but either way they can both be rubbed off the skin

Either way it doesn't matter, use mineral sunscreen. Of course if you use bottom tier sunscreen formulated in the 60s you're asking for troubles

By reproducing at 15 years old long before cancer is a problem? Skin cancer was probably at the very bottom of causes of death back then, by a fat margin.

They also didn't have tooth paste, tooth brush, soap, antibiotics, vaccines, so go ahead and live like a caveman... I'm 100% positive it'll have a negative impact on your lifespan

The point is that you're all shitting on China 24/7 while not recognising that you're slowly but surely building something very similar at home right now

They still come up with the "china bad" argument on this forum every single day, even though they're speed running the same BS at home

Once you realize most execs are literal sociopaths driven by pure greed and power a lot of things start to make sense. Of course for simple minded folks like us none of it is remotely understandable

How old are you? I've been conned all my life by tech companies selling us "deliverance from work", "permanent Mars bases", "asteroid mining", "AR/VR everywhere, for everyone, all the time", "crypto will replace money", "3d TVs are the new hot shit", "self driving cars for everyone in 2 years tops"

I don't understand how people are so gullible? How do they keep falling for it?

I love how people wait for some kind of technological God or magic silver bullet to """cure""" them, but when it comes to eating clean, exercising, not sitting 8 hours in front of a fucking screen every single day, getting good sleep, and all the other low hanging fruits you can act on right now, it's radio silence even though it would solves the majority of health issues
