The absolutely absurd lengths this guy goes through to accomplish the most mundane things for his desired outcome is the most entertaining thing I've seen in years.

That's surprising since CC has been pretty hit or miss(mostly miss) the past few years. Haven't watched the show in length, but the clips I'm watching on youtube had me laughing.

he has a great deadpan.

Oh my god, it's incredible. I actually have a hard time imagining him out of character.
This has been my favorite this season I think. Although the first one with the waiter tip was pretty good too.

Nathan Fielder is great, loved his episode on Comedy Bang! Bang! as well.
Have you seen Tour de Pharmacy yet? He's got some bits in there that are a riot.

Fill your boot drives with very badly built programs and settings, you are setting up for a very sluggish system which can't respond to more advantageous processing opportunities..
Mind-rot is real.. if we compared people who watched alot of MTV with people who only watched the History channel, the MTV people has significantly higher prevalence of obesity/ cancer/ heart disease.
No, they weren't EATING TVs, but what they were doing is succumbing to a set of beliefs and thought process which compelled them to make less healthy choices.
This type of logical programming especially (if consistent through life), affect all areas of decision making..

Depends on what era of history channel, cause we're all aware of the one that exists now with the reality tv etc..

MTV was doomed as soon as they started doing Real World Road Rules Challenge and gradually stopped playing actual music videos, then it became a wasteland void of reality television for the absolute worst and trashiest young people in the world.
History Channel was doomed as soon as they started doing Ancient Aliens marathons, eschewing shows about actual real history. At which point producers realized people just want junk and lies and started polluting the channel with reality television.
Really reality television ruined television altogether. Only in recent years has it started recovering with well-written dramas and original programming.

Absolutely agree that reality tv ruined television, it substituted imagination for mediocrity.

People always say MTV is dead but it's just called MTV2 now. There are twenty music channels on my TV.
Reality TV was a cheap solution to fill up our 600 channel cable subscriptions. Same with syndicated self contained shows. We're swamped with expensive original drama right now cos of all the silicon valley money being thrown at it to drive subscriptions.

I would argue that was caused by the push for carbohydrates as a necessity for proper nutrient intake, and then supplemented by tv.

The latest episode was pretty good, right up to the very end where it became brilliant. The entire scheme was seemingly almost totally centered around making that douchey guy seem like an idiot.

I watched the first two seasons, Turtle. Did not disappoint.

Where did you hear carbs are bad.
It's not that they are bad necessarily, but we eat them at levels which aren't optimal, even those of us who are not obese.
Generally, this kind of goes along with the keto fads, there are researchers from that community that bring up pretty salient points. However, with any of this kind of stuff there are logical points to both sides.
The basic premise of my point is that we as a culture consume far in excess the required amount of carbs our bodies need per day. Individuals who frequently use anaerobic movements (athletes generally), of course need to supplement the extra carbs, but the layperson shouldn't need to go that far. Most glucose requirements, if needed, can be synthesized into glucose from protein, or simply use ketone bodies.
So where physical performance isn't a factor, it seems like the risks (inflammation, normal flora adulteration, cancers, effects of neurological disease, dopamine fluctuations/mood destabilization..++) of excessive carb consumption outweigh its benefits (dopamine).
I won't go so far as to say a lower-carb diet is what everyone should aspire to, however eating excessive carbs makes about as much sense as filling your gas tank so much it spills onto the ground.

What are your thoughts on heart disease and diabetes with regards to nutrition.

What are your thoughts on heart disease and diabetes with regards to nutrition.
Generally, I think a lot of contemporary nutrition science is dated, as least as far as what is known/accepted in the public.
Heart diseases has far too many causes to 100% secure prevention. Diabetes is a tricky one for sure. Mainstream medicine has people believing people will die if you can't consume sugar. However, ketogenic diets (medium intake of protein, high in take of fats, no sugar/complex carbs) are becoming increasingly popular to treat Type 1 diabetes among those dedicated enough to make it a lifestyle, as well as show efficiency in helping people lose weight ( Which may help those trying to put Type 2 into remission.). Evidence of that will vary dependent on the individuals undergoing the diet as well as variables like exercise etc.
Eat within context of your activity level, avoid foods that send your brain into chemical spirals. Mainly avoid habitual use of sugar, it's as close as you can get to crack cocaine in the food world. And your body treats it like a drug.
(Good) Fats are significantly more important than most people give them credit for, as they help synthesize hormones and hormones regulate your body. If you wonder why old celebrities look so damn young sometimes, many of them take hormones. (They made trade years off their life for this.)
Protein for muscle/tissue/cell synthesis etc.
Sugars, for athletic/mental exercises activity that requires short term high performance. Meaning, eat to fill your glycogen reserves and/or to use during the activity.
Vitamins/electrolytes/minerals are important for normal function.
You're not gonna prevent everything, however you can decrease the likelihood you'll be affected by some disease. Body/mental health can be cumulative and often weird stuff affects that as well. Also, should your body be running in order, then treating yourself to unhealthy things will make less of an impact than otherwise.
If you're trying to increase your life span, Some of the smartest people in the world barely eat anything and subsist on pills mostly afaik. There is a famous inventor like that. He's waiting for the singularity. Still intermittent fasting has it's benefits as well.

How ol' r ya 9999hp. Have you been on ketogenic and low carbs for long ?
At what point did you begin to amass this information on health and nutrition, highschool, college, career ?

lol why does every OT thread wind up being about eating habits?

Unfortunately being in the UK strikes again.. not on our TV

:) About 30
I'm not doing a diet currently, still I ration my carbohydrates typically to a single meal, with no preference as to which meal or what type of carbs (sugar is sugar) to minimize weight gain. I'm not really doing much physical training currently, so I'm a bit lackadaisical with my intake.
I think keto is very interesting, and have cycled it with success. I find that I'm generally less lethargic when my carb consumption is low. If it's any help for context, I'm a stimulant kind of guy (caffeine, nicotine). I also do what would be considered "Intermittent Fasting", for a variety reasons, sometimes inadvertently.
I started taking interest in the condition of my body at 20. Started with aesthetics, then strength, now performance. Also, I'm a lab tech in a clinical setting, so I'm around this information alllllll the time.
Also, I was incorrect. Type 2 is where keto proven to be successful, type one is unsubstantiated so far looks like. Yet people still doing it are met with success. I'm sure it varies.

Ok, I watched 1.5 episodes of that thing (Frozen Yoghurt and another one about a liquor store) and it's boring and fake as ****. Though certainly not the worst content Turtle posted here.
