I love them so much because they’re about as sharp as a baseball and their anatomy is ridiculous to the point of them literally being classified as plankton for years because they just sort of get blown around by the ocean and look confused, but because they lay more eggs than ANY OTHER VERTEBRATE IN EXISTENCE, evolution can’t stop them
Why is no big predator coming and gnawing on them?
Their biggest defense is that they’re massive and have super tough skin, but they do get hunted by sharks or sea lions sometimes and they just sort of float there like ‘oh bother’ as it happens
Even funnier, because they eat nothing but jellyfish they’re really low in nutritional value anyway, so they basically survive by being not worth eating because they’re like a big floating rice cracker wrapped in leather.
So basically the only reason natural selection hasn’t taken care if them is because they are the most useless fish
yes, they’ve perfected uselessness to the point of being unstoppable
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.
does a calorie deficit really matter that much? what if I had the right nutrients and vitamins and didn't eat clean, would I lose fat? it's very frustrating because I eat clean but I'm never full so I don't have a deficit and haven't lost much weight
Calorie deficit is necessary to help you lose weight, like calorie surplus is required if you want to build muscle.
You can eat clean all week long, but if your macros don’t match your goal – you will not get results.
First, find out what your caloric intake and your caloric expenditure is. This is your foundation. Then eating clean comes after. It is what will help you get your macronutrients in, which will make you feel good. Most “clean” foods are considered good because they’re low in calorie. But “clean” food like avocados and nuts are calorie dense. So make sure you’re planning this right.
