    Not a nutritional expert or anything, but I’ll take some guesses.

    Generally, it depends on how you spread out your activities, if you are going to be active. If you aren’t going to be active, it doesn’t matter when or how you eat them.

    Still, high fructose corn syrup needs to be broken down by the liver before it can be used by your body. It doesn’t seem that it would get quickly used as an energy source, active or not. Spreading out the load over the day might be better for your liver and give you more opportunities to burn that energy. That is just speculation though.

    If you eat a whole bag, then immediately run 10 miles, you are just going to vomit most of it out. Sounds like a win to me! (Doctor recommended. For realsies. /s)

    “All” is all posts from all communities your instance is federated with. It’s subjectively the best way to read posts now because Lemmy is somewhat small.

    If you space your posts out, you are more likely to get better visibility due to time zone differences of each instance and you don’t end up flooding “all”. People are less likely to block you and ignore your posts outright. It’s also less bothersome and looks less spammy.

    Still, you do you. I am just suggesting ways to maximize visibility that looks less bot-like and less annoying.

    Both Buddhism and Taoism have some really good aspects. I would say they are philosophies and not religions and probably not in the context of a “faith” for this post. (If someone else wants to consider Buddhism a religion, you go right ahead. I won’t argue but assume I silently disagree.)

    I am absolutely atheist, but still having some guiding principles is still important. If a concept sounds good and seems like it has good intentions I’ll just add it to my collection, discarding any pointless rituals or “magic”.

    Doing good things makes me feel good and I like feeling good. I say that it’s ok borrow from any ideology that has well intentioned principles.

    I’ll add the disclaimer that the term “good” is subjective and I still had to learn what “good” means to me over the years. Buddhism and Taoism have always been aligned with the way I perceive life and are decent enough to extrapolate what the word “good” should mean.

    Am I dual faith? No. If we ever get in a deep discussion about core ideals, there are going to be similar concepts I share with many religions, though.

    I installed it and tried it on occasion, but it never worked for finding any coupons. It was the only extension I had that I kept disabled because I always thought it’s interaction with the browser and web pages was sus as fuck.

    TBH, it was more of a curiosity I kept around to explore one day. I also dissect and detonate malware a few times a week, so I just treated Honey as such.

    (That folder named “malware” on my computer is actually real. I pitty the poor soul who steals it thinking its just a joke to store my private data.)

    Unrelated: I finally got my first .SVG downloader today, actually. Whoever the fuck thought it would be a good idea to add a script tag to SVG needs to be put down.
