There’s an egg in a pan emoji??

What on Earth would you even need such a specific emoji for??

Right?? Out of date photos are annoying enough to deal with, but outright faked “photos” are a whole other ball game!

As if Google and other big providers deciding that giving you bad results so you’d have to view ADs for longer wasn’t bad enough for the young people’s ability to critically think and find information…

Now they’re going to AIs that’ll outright lie to them with confidence of someone about to say “I told you so”.

Then you use a better search engine, not flock to an AI that has no real concept of what’s true or false so just feeds you whatever looks right

The comfort-eating point you mentioned is why I stressed I’ve been there.
I used to have a really bad problem with overeating. Like to where I was classed as morbidly obese as a kid.

Which does add another difficult point I didn’t mention. The motivation.

You need that to push through, cause it will suck to start with - and without motivation you’re likely to go back to what comforts you, instead of forcing the change you want.

Again, I went from comfort eating to being able to being perfectly fine not eating for hours, and even being uncomfortable when full. It’s doable, but you have to fully want to do it.

Not to be poo-poo on your answer, but GLP1 for all has the same vibe as turning on your heating with all the windows open. Its solves the issue today, but doesn’t solve the problem.

Firstly, BMI only really works for people of otherwise average height and musculature. A bodybuilder could be seen as obese for example. So just fixing for that would help.

But more importantly, and perhaps unpopularly, I think people have gotten too used to feeling full all the time, and that the slightest feeling of hunger signals red alert. I see people constantly grazing throughout the day the moment they get even slightly hungry, sometimes without evening noticing it themselves, then they’ll still eat big meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Unless you’re regularly getting a good amount of exercise from work or your personal lifestyle, then of course you’re gonna put on weight cause those calories have got nowhere to go. Now while there are other factors that can tip the scales into or out of your favour, ultimately:

Daily Energy Input < Energy Output = Weight Loss

Now some will say they can’t not eat, because they can’t concentrate otherwise, it gives them the shakes, or something else. But for 99% of people, that “need” is all psychological, and can be shaken off with time and patience.

I would know, cause I experienced this when I was younger changing my diet to help lose weight. Being purposefully intermittent about eating will suck at first as your body and mind adjust to the new status quo, but stick with it and your body and mind will be healthier for it.

((Just to be clear, I’m not promoting any kind of eating disorder or crash dieting. Losing weight sustainably is about small changes that you take with you into the future, not making huge changes that make you sick/depressed, or throwing your body around like a metabolic ragdoll. But I do mean it when I say putting more planning and restraint into when and what you eat will do you a world of wonder))

Honestly, yeah - in the same way that being “completely offline” is also a feature in this day and age.

The deliberate exclusion of a feature can itself be a feature, especially when desirable to the group your product is aimed at.
