    If you haven’t tried the Enzyme supplement Fodzyme I can’t recommend it enough.

    Ever since I started using it I can (mostly) freely eat foods with garlic and onions as well as a host of other things.

    It doesn’t work on everything, but I have been ordering it since April and I am no longer reading every label on everything to avoid being sick.

    Everyone is different so there’s no guarantees on what will work for you, but I’ve been telling everyone about it (mostly because people always ask what I’m sprinkling on nearly everything I eat).

    I get the brown jar because the individual pouches are a rip off, but it’s less of an investment if you want to try!

    I’m clearly not understanding this platform as well as I thought, I should probably watch a video or something!

    The memes and boobs are great, but I’d love to get more reliable news and local information, seems like every Canadian one dies or is unpopular (fair enough given the limited user base which is still kind of nice)

    And the news + politics seems to crash, but that’s because I’m still using .World …I think?


  • Reddit is fun croaked for me last week, now I’m all Lemmy!

    Unless lemmy crashes, then I lurk reddit signed out with browser.

    As the crashes and maintenance here become less frequent and the platform is more reliable I’m ready to leave reddit in the dust entirely

    I’m okay with him being mocked with his own meme format, this doesn’t quite hit that note though

    “I’m a terrible human funded by other terrible humans : change my mind” is the way this meme should be used going forward.

    It’s no longer a useful meme for social commentary, and should really only be applicable when discussing how much of a piece of shit this human turd is.

    I love the memes and shitposts. They’re lighthearted and fun, and entertaining. I’m not here looking for reddit news with less comment traffic, I’m here for the atmosphere and the community.

    Just talking to/with real people is a huge plus, getting genuine opinions, good faith opinion/discourse, with little divisive content, and the “big” news hits my all feed just fine.

    There’s plenty of avenues available to find conflict, controversy, drama, and walls of opinion to engage and enrage with elsewhere.

    This place feels like a community where everyone is at least somewhat vested in contributing and making things better/more enjoyable for all, and in my opinion it doesn’t need to change or accomplish anything else


  • I made a similar comment to another thread, but I’ve been having login issues and I don’t think it posted.

    I’m not sure if it’s being able to compare apples to Oranges with Lemmy, and I was very aware that the quality of reddit was lower than when I joined in like 2010. But Holy Cow is it ever bad at Reddit.

    RIF is still working for me, I’m logged out and never vote or comment on Reddit anymore. But I still pop in to view local news and subreddits that don’t have the same traction here yet.

    The current Reddit experience is terrible. All the comments feel like opinion wedge bots stating divisive opinions that aren’t engaging with anyone.

    All the top/best sorted comments are a few minutes old and largely irrelevant. Seems like reddit is pushing bot/chat GPT content to replace migration users.

    I’d rather be on a buggy platform, talking to real people, who disagree or not, are engaging in real discussion.

    Going to reddit when I’ve crushed through most hot topics on Lemmy really drives home what makes a social platform good, and what makes a social platform bad.

    Hopefully Reddit doesn’t fully migrate here and it can serve it’s new purpose of being a social cesspool trap for special interest bots.

    Getting the same news from Lemmy has provided a comparison that allowed me to see exactly how toxic Reddit currently is.





  • My back has been sore for a while, and I was always ‘rounding’ it to try and stretch it out (child’s pose, touch my toes, bath with Epsom salt, rolling on my back with my knees tucked into my chest etc)

    What really helped relieve tension was doing the opposite, and forcing my butt/hips backwards. Basically, enhancing the dip in my lower back by either using my hips or my shoulders.

    Like, standing captain Morgan style (one leg up on stable coffee table, or bathtub) and lifting your arms up and leaning back while also pushing your hips back and stomache out. This should be a gentle stretch! Obviously don’t do anything painful and listen to your body, but bending (flexing?) backwards has helped my back where bending forwards just made everything worse.

    Try and maintain this shape when bending down, not just stretching, maintaining a straight back when bending over has helped a lot with both keeping tension away and being aware of my back form.

    Basically, try to keep the shape in the second image (DON’T LIFT IF YOUR BACK IS SORE). When I stretch like this I’m generally standing straight and not bent over. this pic is just the general shape you want to maintain and ‘exaggerate’ while stretching.

    Also, use ice packs and not heat to relax tight muscles.

    It’s Kind of hard to explain, but the tension in my back went waaaaay down the next day, and has been significantly better since.

    If it helps, I don’t go to the gym or anything, by back pain is born of mild sloth lifestyle, bad stretching, and poor form bending over.
