I would also answer “Human lives are worth the same as animal lives”, simply because Humans are animals.

Never trust the answers to questionnaires with such basic mistakes.

No it really does change what kind of food you desire to eat. It was quite a surreal change for me when I discovered I was craving the juicy taste of a tomato for the first time.

I don’t know if it is normal for others, but I have never ever had the actual desire to eat vegetables before I went on ozempic/wegovy.

Salty sausage, crisps, cheese, bacon, that was the only types of food I used to crave. Now I cannot eat bacon anymore, the fat taste in my mouth makes me queasy.

It’s just not the entire story. Ozempic/wegovy changes the way you feel about food.

I used to always want to eat a lot. And if there was candy on the table within my sight, like 80% of my mental focus would be on that candy, no matter how hard I tried to focus on something else.

Now it’s more like, meh I guess I could take a piece of candy, and then I get lost in talking and forget to actually put it in my mouth until half an hour later.

It is definitely not just appetite suppression. I used to overeat a lot, even after feeling quite a lot of pain from beeing stuffed, I would keep eating. Now I forget to eat, if I don’t have people around me going to lunch.

The soothing, rewarding pleasure of swallowing sugar, fat or salty food I used to need to feel good is just gone most of the time.

To some degree it feels like I have been set free.

You do know that his 40hours a week was a dramatic reduction in working hours compared to the norm at that time?

Once upon a time Google used few and non-intrusive ads. The ads were soo well-placed and relevant, that they almost seemed like a service to the user, rather than being forced upon you. Some of us even added exceptions for Google ads in our ad blockers, so we would not miss out.

I miss those days.

Why are their mouths a hole in the side of their cheeks? It looks disturbing.

Is this not classical overwatering symptom?

No

We go outside because it is too hot to stay inside.

Yes

At some point this will happen with plastics too. Soo much plastic is ending up in nature, with soo much energy ready for the taking. When one fungus or bacteria mutates just right to munch on that feast of plastic, that vast energy source will ensure that organism multiplies rapidly.

And that is when plastic stops beeing useful for many of the tasks we humans use it for. If your plastic container decomposes as rapidly as a cardboard box, it will quickly become much less usefull.

Sure. But that does not make it unethical.

That is a stupid question

Raise healthy, emphatic and intelligent kids.

If I manage that, everything else can go to hell, and I would still be happy and content in life.

I want to feel like what I do matters, otherwise I become frustrated and feel bad. My basic drive for curiosity is very strong, and I need to learn new things and do something that has some sort of meaning.

Being paid to do nothing is soo frustrating, I feel like I am wasting what little time I have here on earth.

No, neutral would be to have 2.1 children. That keeps the population steady.

Individuals choosing not to have kids should pay an extra tax that should go to the ones having children.

Choosing not to have children is a perfecly acceptable individual choice, but the consequence is that you become a net negative for the economy.

Taking on the burden of child-raising is an essential task that is net positive for the economy, which has been way underappreciated for too long.
