being a pepper plant has to be so weird.
Imagine evolving capsaicin specifically to stop mammals from eating your fruits, and then a mammal comes along that not only will eat your fruits, but likes them specifically because of the capsaicin, so much that it starts using its weird paws to distribute and care for your seeds, which turns into a strong selective force that literally starts evolving you into producing MORE capsaicin and makes you a WAY more successful and wider ranged species than you ever were before
simply because this mammal LOVES Pain Chemical. that evolved specifically to produce pain in mammals. It's not that the capsaicin isn't WORKING. It's just that these freaks like it.
This is the same mammal with social instincts so goddamn strong that they literally try to form social bonds with their predators, and end up evolving the predators into a new species that fits into their social communities as a form of mutualistic symbiosis, and exists in several different forms with unique morphology and behaviors based on the function they perform.
Instead of, I don't know, EVOLVING TO BE FASTER, this animal finds a faster animal and sits on it. Which shouldn't even work because the faster animal is a prey animal and this animal is a predator, but SOMEHOW they FORM A SOCIAL BOND WITH THE PREY. So they can sit on it while it runs fast. And somehow the prey animal?? is cool with this?? and benefits from this relationship???
Literally how can you hate humans. Humans are possibly the most hilarious thing evolution has ever done.
other things humans have done
- eat poison plants, decide they like getting poisoned, and evolve the plants to poison them more
- evolve to not have hair, but they find mammals with thick fluffy hair and put the hair on themselves, and evolve the mammals to produce extra hair so they can both have a warm coat of hair
- split up their parasitic lice species into two separate species because they start taking other animals' hair and putting it on themselves so much
- learn how to set things on fire on purpose. maintain body temperature by just standing beside some wood that's on fire instead of literally any normal option
- figure out that their prey tastes better and is easier to digest when they hold it over a fire after killing it. get smarter because they digest food so good after it's been held over a fire.
- find a poisonous plant and try washing it in boiling water until they don't die when they eat it anymore
- go across the ocean by making a floating nest despite not being able to breathe underwater, drink ocean water, or even swim naturally
- drink milk from other mammals even though they can't digest it and it makes them sick. Evolve those mammals to produce more milk than their babies can drink so they can drink the milk. Some members of the species evolve to be able to digest milk because they were so hellbent on drinking it.
- find flowers, bugs and minerals that are nice colors and crush them up to try to turn other things that color
- eat mushrooms that make their nervous systems malfunction because they like malfunctioning their nervous systems
humans worldwide looking up into the celestial vault of stars a million light years away, separated from Earth by the deadly cold and emptiness of space: I bet there are guys up there to form social bonds with
Also quick aside, and also a warning to new followers and such.
I spam reblog stuff like the "blows you up" for fun jokes with my friends, I don't tag these, it's for fun. And also encouragement.
If you send me hate on or off anon dosent matter you'll just get blocked either way. Curate your own experience and unfollow if the spam bothers you. Or perhaps, if you really like my non spam stuff, unfollow and follow back at a later time so your dash is clear for browsing but after the 5 minutes of spam you can still come see my normal reblogs. Dosent matter to me either way.

congrats on the gender, happy to help(?)!!!
always bothers me when "improvements" to unhealthy diets are all about taking tasty things away rather than ADDING new things. like. add new tastes and new flavours and MORE NUTRIENTS and vitamins
there was some awful show on for encouraging middle class mothers to take their eating disorders out on their children and it was like "oh well, this snack doesn't taste as good as my usual one, but it's healthier"
so get one that??? actually tastes as good?
like this thing of. you know this food that you like and enjoy eating? why don't you toss all that out and eat stuff you don't enjoy as much or want to eat?
that's unhinged to me.
like i just think the process of discovering newer, healthier foods should be ADDITIVE, where you're exploring new tastes alongside your usual ones, slowly broadening your palate and your preferences, rather than punishing yourself for "unhealthy" food
(CW eating disorders)
god i feel so strongly about this bc i could not figure out how to strike a balance between “eating foods that make me feel good” and “not relapsing back into disordered eating habits” until i switched my mindset from “i need to remove unhealthy foods from my diet” to “i need to figure out which foods makes me feel good and add them to my diet”
examples:
moving from “i want a snack. chips sound really good, but i can’t eat chips because they’re unhealthy, so i guess i just won’t eat anything” to “i want a snack. chips sound really good, so i’m gonna eat some, but because i haven’t had any fruits or veggies today, i’m gonna eat some grapes with them”
moving from “i’m craving a burger and fries from mcdonald’s, but that’s unhealthy, so i’m just gonna eat some plain brown rice and grilled chicken even though those don’t sound good” to “im craving mcdonald’s, but last time i ate that it upset my stomach, so i don’t think eating it would make me feel good. but i think what my craving is telling me is that i need carbs and protein, so how about i make some steak and mashed potatoes for dinner?”
moving from “i’m in too much pain to cook tonight, but frozen food is unhealthy, so i just won’t eat anything” to “im in too much pain to cook tonight, so im gonna eat a frozen meal, but im gonna add some pre-cooked chicken and frozen spinach to it because i think the protein and veggies will make my body feel good”
and honestly this has been so much better for me and i feel so much better both physically and mentally than when i was just focused on “i can’t eat anything that’s Unhealthy”
I've also found that if I'm DESPERATELY craving sugar or want to eat ALL THE CARBS RIGHT NOW, it's almost always because I haven't eaten enough that day, or haven't eaten recently enough, and my body is trying to get me to pay attention to the fact I need some energy ASAP.
So it can be useful for me to go "well, I just realized I haven't eaten in six hours, so how about I make a sandwich and see how I feel, and then I can ALSO have some cookies if I still want some" instead of just having the cookies and feeling bad and headachey later because I didn't have any protein or anything with it. Sometimes I still want a cookie, and sometime I don't, but I don't get that gross sugar bonk feeling.
I'm glad to see a post like this on my dashboard. Some important insights:
- Taking away food unless for something like allergies or the above reason of the food upsetting your stomach is rarely, if ever, the answer
- Whether you eat a plain avocado or guacamole with chips, you still ate an avocado in both instances. The avocado didn't get cancelled out. No matter how you eat something, you are still receiving that food's nutrients
- Eating vegetables and fruits in an appetizing way to you is far better and far healthier than never eating those fruits or vegetables at all
- Every food can be part of a "healthy diet." There is no such thing as an "unhealthy food." Cake still gives your body nutrients even though society has demonized it. Your body needs fats and carbohydrates.
- If your body is craving sugar, it's almost certainly because you have been restricting sugar. "Sugar addiction" doesn't exist. When you hold your breath and restrict oxygen, gulping for air after you stop holding your breath is not because you have an oxygen addiction. It's because you restricted something your body needs to survive and it is now desperately trying to get back what was taken away for that period of time. The problem of the restriction-binge cycle is not the binge, it's the restriction.
- Intuitive eating is incredibly important. It's what we are born to do, listening to what our bodies tell us. When you intuitively eat, your body regulates its food intake and diet on its own. Please research it and give it a try! It's the act of eating without diet culture and is necessary in order to eliminate disordered eating. Intuitive eating can also be adjusted according to your health needs. And for people who struggle with feeling hunger indicators due to something like ADHD or past eating disorders, a method that can help is setting reminders to eat periodically throughout the day.
- Eating anything at all is always better than starvation. Always.
- Food and exercise have been proven to have little actual effect on weight. Weight is not a calculation of food minus exercise. There are so many factors that decide a person's weight. Intentional weight loss has even been proven to be so unsustainable that 95% of people who lose weight gain it all back and often more than what they started with in 3-5 years. And that is even if they "did everything the right way" and "had the willpower." No amount of dieting, starving, exercising, weight loss pills, surgeries, etc. will make you thin forever if your body was never meant to be thin.
- The most important fact on this list: Fatness is not bad in the first place. Fatness is not a death sentence. Fatness is not ugly or even proven to cause ill health (any researcher can tell you that correlation and causation are not the same and should never, ever be equated to each other, and I can especially tell you that after taking my graduate level research course). Whatever you are doing to chase or maintain thinness is not only useless but usually ends up resulting in the ill health you fear. Ending diet culture also means ending fatphobia. Fat people deserve respect, positive representation, kindness, compassion, and to be treated with humanity just like thin people are.
Yeah, I thought about addressing that since frozen food is often the most accessible food for people at risk of not eating at all plus the fact that frozen food isn't evil either. I guess I forgot to. I'm assuming maybe the person was referring to frozen food having like extra salt added to help the taste or how, from what I've heard, fresh vegetables have more of their nutrients compared to when they're frozen. But frozen food is still good, a "healthy diet" can still consist of just frozen food, and frozen vegetables are still vegetables with nutrients. It is completely morally neutral to eat frozen food, just like how it's morally neutral to eat any other food.
