  • You’d be surpised at some of the foods which contain gluten. Take a vegetarian pizza, with some seitan on it? That’s pure gluten.

    And the nature of celiacs or non-celiac gluten sensitivity is such — annoyingly, that the symptoms take a while to show up, so it’s unlike say a proper food allergy or lactose intolerance, it’s much harder to actually reason about what you’ve eaten, when the symptoms can show up as late as several days afterwards.

    But yeah, ofc that’s not everyone and if it’s not you it’s not you. It just was for me, and now I’m kinda preachy about people trying exclusion diets just to be sure.





  • “The excess”

    Yeah no such thing.

    Imagine actually asking women if they prefer to have their clitoral hood intact or not.

    It’s biologically analogous, it’s the prepuce. Without it, your most sensitive part is constantly exposed to air and friction. Imagine what an eye would look like in 15 years if you were to cut someone’s eyelid off. It would dry and lose vision and just be overall horrible. The glans penis is mucosal as well, so there’d be similarities like keratinisation.













  • Well this is kinda easy to understand even as a westerner; you probably consider a gray/flecked pigeon as a something more or less dirty, but a white dove is the sign of purity and whatnot.

    Exactly the same animal, just different colouring.

    Somehow we just think eating French fries off the ground makes pigeons dirty but doves eating insects is completely fine.
