Vaccines do not cause heart attacks unless death was looming over them anyways.

Meh. Coffee can be made to taste like not-coffee, so you’re quite literally objectively wrong either way.

I also don’t want to discount yoga! It’s good motion and position trianing and definitely stretches plenty, at least for ‘tight’ people like me.

I just wanted to point out that one doesn’t need to do an entire routine just for stretching. (although still, yoga’s a great way to start a journey with exercise, especially if someone isn’t a self-starter type)

Ehhhh, you’re kinda’ discounting how broad “average” is. Some people cannot even get close to touching their toes without daily stretching (like me) whereas some people can grab their feet and they do nothing extra.

For people like me, daily stretching quite literally directly prevents injury both from exercise and when normal movement goes awry like when tripping.

Yea, that’s usually the case when something is actually heavy to be fair. Always a good idea to make sure they’re the muscles that tighten first!

Also to add more context; I specifically strength train the ‘bad’ way of lifting things, as it were. Like hyperextensions, bird dogs, superman, etc, so I’m not joking when I say I lift some “lighter” things in a ‘bad’ way when convenient. lol

… though if I feel back strain start to build up, you bet your ass I’ll reposition! Only a fool (like younger me) just goes for a lift without paying attention to what the body is saying.

It is very easy to hurt yourself doing strength training without experience pushing your body’s boundaries. Getting familiar with stretching first can be the difference between starting strength training successfully and overdoing something and turning the experience in to a painful turnoff.

The original intent of patents was almost exactly that. You’re protected for a handful of years, after that anyone can just use the patent as instructions for recreating it.

… then Disney and other fucking greedy ghouls of corporations got involved and greased the right palms…

Why torture yourself by not caring about the taste? Even shitty black coffee can be made to taste alright unless it’s burned to hell.

Not really. The case should be grounded, so even if it were causing a charge differential in the metal, it’d just make a current to ground (or back to the neutral magnetron pole if it’s not grounded). Although ‘current back to ground’ is likely misstating it, since it’d be an AC induced current that wouldn’t be moving too far and ultimately just heat up the metal in place without electrons doing much more than wobbling about.

Metal in the microwave can create arcs because the metal is surrounded by the microwaves with no conductive path anywhere, so charges can just slosh around more and more as power is applied. Get a large enough charge built up in some area that it has the potential to jump through the air to a less charged place, and bam, arc.

It’s like the difference between pushing someone on a swing that cannot go somewhere else vs pushing someone sitting on a skateboard (or an insanely tall swing on the ungrounded case). Only one of those cases makes it easy to build up more and more swing.

The door works fine because the holes are too small to even let the waves through, so there isn’t a big fluctuating EM field all around it to produce much of any different charge potentials to cause current to flow, so no sloshing charges and no real heating.

EM fields concentrate from the edges, like how magnetic field lines concentrate around a paperclip hanging from a magnet. It’s not about charged particles being able to retreat, but that the EM field will straight up be stronger in those areas.

Nah, even weak magnets bunch up really easy, at least to make a solid sheet with noticable crystaline-like deformities being the only exception to a contiguous layout.

Those balls are sitting way too loosely with way too many random gaps to even possibly be magnetized.

Repeated motion injuries can happen even in very fit people. The body needs time to heal even from low impact/low stress movement. Especially if it’s at the edge of what’s “easy”.

A good example is a food server. Even if you can handle the weight of a fully loaded tray easy enough, unless that weight is like throwing a nurf ball around for you, you’re going to need a healing period after a long shift. Most likely longer than any asshole shift manager would ever allow if you’re a small pretty gal.

I’d say stretching and familiarizing yourself with what the edge of acceptable motion is goes A LOT further with not hurting yourself. You can deadlift all you want, but if you don’t know how to deal with shifting weight or an odd position once you start doing some generic activity that doesn’t mirror the lift, you’re still going to hurt yourself.

In fact, overconfidance with being able to lift a heavy amount vs dealing with shifting forces can be the reason someone tries to move too much weight in the first place. Think lifting a solid, easily grippable mass of a steel bar vs moving a heavy-ass wobbly mattress. The mattress might be a fraction of the weight but it’s still a pain in the ass. Don’t know how to deal with weight suddenly shifting? That’s a pulled back anyways.

At least for flexibility and balance. They’re a nothing burger for strength, but strength can only come after your body can actually move without hurting itself.

Nah, not those alone. Developing only one side of a movement can cause serious health problems. Like how people that get only their calves really strong are prone to getting pulled tibia muscles doing sports because those muscles cannot keep up and fatigue out quickly. I can only imagine how terrible it would be to only have a strong back if you end up doing the wrong movement some day.

I still do if the weight in less than around 100lbs, but that’s only because I’ve strengthened my back to the point where 100lbs is no big deal even in weird positions, and bending at the waist is sometimes way easier.

Seriously depends. If someone is out of shape, starting with a game can be both disheartening when you physically cannot compete and make you far more likely to injure yourself when you’re not paying full attention to what your body is doing.

Going from out of shape (and most nonphysical people are out of shape nearly completely) to in shape is a treacherous path that should not be taken lightly.

Not to say sports are a bad idea, but they aren’t a silver bullet.

Stretching in general helps, it doesn’t even have to be yoga. Though a good yoga routine makes it easier to hit most of the major areas.

and stretching. Gotta’ stretch, especially if you’re like me and aren’t naturally very flexible. I’ve probably avoided dozens of injuries just by knowing my limits well and making sure they don’t show up pitifully fast.

And? Better to let them have to engage as a normie instead of having an entire instance astroturfing their BS.
