There's too much misinformation on this subject. I'm not an expert, but this is all based on what I've read from the most reliable scientific sources I can find.

Creatine timing doesn't matter at all since your body has to load it over the course of days or weeks anyway. Take it whenever. Just take 5g at some point every day.

Pre-workout obviously before working out. Ostensibly 30 minutes before, to give your body time to take it in. But be aware that caffeine is the only legal OTC pre workout chemical that's proven to be effective. A recent study even showed carbs didn't increase performance measurably.

Recent studies show protein timing doesn't really matter at all either. Your body will use the protein you give it. Now, you probably do want to get enough around the time you're triggering muscle protein synthesis... Like, within a few hours of exercise. Ie, don't fast all day, work out, then get your protein 8 hours later.

Other than that? The best pre workout is sleep. Get enough of that shit every night for your best gains in basically every area of your physical and mental health.

I mean, yes, that too. But think of the even more horrifying implications of such a belief.

Sorry, not really into God fanfic anymore.

Right? How many mass-murdering psychopaths has God raised up in authority? What an idiot.

Yeah. I hate Nancy Pelosi. I hate Trump MORE, but I hate him more than just about anyone. Pelosi is still a garbage person.

When do we stop wearing masks, in your estimation? Never, since airborne diseases will always exist?

What even is your point? Does one protester's desire for violence justify the Chinese government's violence?

Man...it's been years, so I don't remember, but honestly it felt like it at the time. Everyone hated their massive V4 redesign, so people just...left. The Reddit situation is different, because it only really affected third-party app users, not every single user of the site.

17 years. Probably the only site other than Google I've visited almost every day since then. It's extremely depressing to lose Reddit after all that time. But I'm enjoying Lemmy, and hoping we can grow it Digg-exodus-style.

That's kind of the inverse of "confidence", which is a requested feature for comment sort.

Voyager (formally Wefwef) is doing this. You can favorite communities and it will push them to the top. It's been useful for monitoring smaller communities.

What I do not understand about this take is that they can already collect all of this data, today. They don't need to federate with the rest of the Fediverse to scrape basically all of the data they want. The only problematic thing they'd need an instance for is linking upvotes to users - which is something they could do just by spinning up a Lemmy instance.

Threads joining the Fediverse does not significantly increase their ability to collect data about existing Fediverse denizens.
