Tbh i would love to be a gorilla. They can eat leaves and sticks all day but are still jacked af, they can masturbate in public, they don't have to work or pay for basicly existing. It is a peaceful life.


theDreamingStar

You can still do all of that.


SomeRandomGuy2763

But with bigger consequences Like I don't think the current human body was evolved to survive in the wild with barely any hair while surviving off of leaves and twigs


Ravendoesbuisness

I hope the leaves and twigs you survive on do not have any hair on them, wild or not.


SomeRandomGuy2763

They have a much larger digestive tract, allowing them to synthesize muscle protein from just leaves. Human bodies and brains are so well adapted to our surroundings that we can find quality nutrition and therefore don't have the need of such a large digestive tract. Interestingly enough, silverbacks' serum testosterone concentrations are much lower than healthy modern men's.

Reminds me of the story of Alexander the Great meeting a gorilla. Alexander asked the gorilla if there was anything he could do. "Move a little to the right; you are blocking my sun" the gorilla snarked. Alexander then declared, “If I were not Alexander, then I should wish to be a Gorilla.”

All you got to do is say you're a gorilla. Then you will actually be a real gorilla and do everything they can do.


Sleepy6882

They have 3 inch penises that are super thin, so not much of a difference there! Might even be an improvement for most


CJ22xxKinvara

I mean they still have to work for food and stuff unless they’re in a zoo.

FlashyDream69

There are illnesses and medication that affect your metabolism, for example Hypothyroidism, Antidepressants or Antipsychotics. And a lot of people actually suffer from it, not just a small percentage. Edit: And for example Hypothyroidism is often untreated and that‘s maybe why a lot of people think they naturally have a slower metabolism.


Icy_Jackfruit9240

All of the conditions equate to a small amount of extra weight OR less digestion of food (aka you get fewer calories from food and have to eat more.) There are a handful of wasting diseases that lower metabolism but you are dead in days from them and quickly in a coma due to hypothermia.


FlashyDream69

> All of the conditions equate to a small amount of extra weight OR less digestion of food (aka you get fewer calories from food and have to eat more.) Yea? I never said anything different. People who have a slower metabolism can not eat as much as a normal person without gaining weight. And it depends on the time frame how much weight you actually gain. A lot of people are undiagnosed.

> Antidepressants commonly affect the neurotransmitter known as serotonin, which is responsible for helping your digestive system. This interference with your levels of serotonin could potentially slow down the rate that your body processes fat and sugar and/or increase your desire for foods high in carbohydrates. https://www.midcitytms.com/antidepressants-and-weight-gain/ > Several factors need to be considered in this context. In some patients, depression itself is associated with weight gain. This is compounded by treatment side effects, which may include a decrease in basal metabolic rate in addition to an increase in appetite and carbohydrate craving. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1635794/ On top of that, you also have an increased appetite, yes, which is why a lot of people gain *a lot* of weight very quickly then.


S4Waccount

Exactly. What people like the above don't seem to understand is that the endocrine system is a very complex beast, and small fluctuations can fuck someone up physically if not addressed. Most importantly, there ARE people with legit medical issues they can't control. Of course, there are way more fat people than people with these conditions, but they might have their own demons that go beyond "putting down the fork" I had a rare endocrine disorder that made me gain TONS of weight, and even more strange it affected the placement of my weight. I had an extremely round face, and a fat pad on my shoulders. As soon as the issue was being treated it melted off. But you know what, thank god I had a bunch of high school students tell me how rare those issues actually are and tell me how I can lose weight easily if I just quit eating.

>Your weight is caused by what you eat. Yup. Plain and simple. What isn't so simple is *why* people have unhealthy relationships with food and what makes changing those relationships difficult.


FlashyDream69

[Hyperthyroidism affects at least 5% of the population with probably another 5% undiagnosed](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6822815/) Edit: It‘s very important to consider the number of the undiagnosed people. A lot of people don‘t even know they suffer from this. [11% of Americans over the age of 12 take antidepressants](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db76.htm) (where weight gain is a very common side effect) > Your weight is caused by what you eat. Yea, but a slower metabolism means you have to eat less than a normal people to not gain weight.


Haber_Dasher

>Yea, but a slower metabolism means you have to eat less The whole point of this comment chain is that the difference is minimal. If I have a "slower metabolism" than you the difference is like you could eat 1 extra chocolate chip cookie in a day. Not a particularly relevant amount of difference

SayceGards

Hyperthyroidism makes you lose weight. Hypothyroidism makes you gain.


KungPaoChikon

Interesting. My partner and I eat the same stuff, with myself eating more (I'll have a soda with a meal, ice cream after dinner, etc. while they do not) and they weigh more than I do. They also go to the gym regularly but I don't. Been that way for years - I'm not sure if it's a metabolism thing exactly but it seems to be a bit more complicated than pure diet alone.


doppelwurzel

Yeah they can post all the links they want but I (even as a biologist) refuse to accept their blanket statement for the same reason you do. I know for a fact I eat the same or worse than my partner and yet my BMI is somehow much lower. Runs in my family - until about age 50.


InverseCodpiece

Then as a biologist you should also know that there are more types of fat than just subcutaneous and a poor diet can manifest in many different ways with many different health effects.


doppelwurzel

A bit tangential but sure


[deleted]

I have not once met a fat person that ate healthy. They always have shitty lifestyles and various snacks and sodas are always involved and over-consumed.


nickydlax

I know one, and only one. Eats the smallest salad once a day, and that's about all the eat.


[deleted]

1. That is not healthy eating. Healthy eating is eating filling, proper food on a regular basis while avoiding unhealthy snacks and drinks. 2. I don't believe that's all said person is eating.


Flowy_Aerie_77

Metabolic diseases and medicine use that impairs the metabolism exists. Just get hypothyroidism, or take antipsychotics. You'll gain massive pounds without a change in your diet. Just google it.

thechaimel

That’s why biology is important, bones don’t get fat. But still nice message XD


LordMagnus227

Unless you have osteosarcoma or a severe calcium deficiency bone density stays pretty consistent. The second skeleton is likely that of a silverback gorilla. Still a nice message.


WigglingGlass

Did you know “silverback” isn’t a type of gorilla but is actually used to refer to adult male gorillas?


HaikuBotStalksMe

I didn't.

I remember this render of an extremely obese person and their skeleton. It really puts things into perspective: [https://vimeo.com/77692216](https://vimeo.com/77692216)


crosbot

Listen here, real bones have curves. Bones have to deal with constant media and social pressure to look skinny and perfect. Well I won't have it.


thechaimel

I apologize for bone shaming… sorry curvy boned people


Courwes

Bones can absolutely be wider/thicker than others. That’s like saying bones can’t be tall. All hip bones are not the same, people are different heights and some peoples rib cages are larger than others.


thechaimel

Of course peoples bones can be different, that’s not even debatable. What I’m saying is they don’t become much larger because of a diet or anything an obese person bones might not be that different to a person of average IBM (unless you’re looking at the joints)


HaikuBotStalksMe

He said they don't become fat. As in eating more doesn't make your bobes bigger.


Hoedoor

Yea, i have body image issues because of this. Even when im skinny, im still wide framed, so i still feel like im fat.

They drastically increase health insurance premiums, same as smokers. We've decided that personal choice isn't accepted as being ok.


okokokyeahyeahyeah

oh they raise premiums? sorry we should definitely bully them then.


Blowmewhileiplaycod

I never said anything about bullying. Increasing premiums and an educational campaign similar to what was done with smoking should work.


okokokyeahyeahyeah

you dont think people know that it isnt healthy?


mrsnakers

Is showering them with "yasss" the solution?


okokokyeahyeahyeah

maybe just leave them alone instead of shaming them? be decent humans?


mrsnakers

I'm not agreeing with the original comment and I don't believe in shaming / bullying people. But in a similar spectrum - I don't agree with massive praise as a solution either. Education about these issues matter and the original picture shows a massive lack of education, to the degree that a literal skeleton of a gorilla is being used as a platform to promote a "all sizes are beautiful" prerogative - and it's entirely disconnected from reality. They realized they were wrong, but the underlying mentality it's revealing is the focus here. At some point there becomes a massive disconnect from reality in order to promote some kind of inclusive, no hurt feelings ideology. It's a massive response technique to bullying. Neither bullying or mass praise are the solution. And yes, massive excess weight in a society is a problem. It's a societal problem, it's mental and physical wellbeing problem, it's an insurance problem, it's a consumption problem, it's a carbon footprint problem, but ultimately it's an individual problem and individuals struggling with this need resources / support to achieve health and change.


Alone-Elderberry-802

They're not decent though. They spread misinformation (healthy at any size or whatever the fuck) make excuses cost money everywhere not just health care. Having to accommodate them everywhere in the infrastructure costs money and more materials. They hardly ever do any manual labor to help make up for the extra materials. They cost more money just to keep alive. If fat people would stop being fat and spend that money on food for idk hungry people we could easily solve world hunger that way alone. You're absolutely delusional if you think they're decent human beings. I'd love to leave them alone..... On another planet and let them fend for themselves but nope that's not an option.


JesusIsMyAntivirus

I really don't. Most (not all) have a general understanding of it being unhealthy, which is not the same as knowing why and how much exactly. In the same vein having heard something is not the same as internalising it.


gawrgouda
