Hyaluronic acid, which is not banned in sport, can be used to increase penis circumference by one or two centimetres.
This would increase the surface area of their suits during competition, which, according to FIS, the international ski and snowboard federation, could increase their flight in the air.
"Every extra centimetre on a suit counts. If your suit has a 5% bigger surface area, you fly further," said FIS ski jumping men's race director Sandro Pertile.

so women ski faster?

shit like this proves we have a very long way to go before we are an evolved species

‘I wondered if I would be a coward or not’: five Ukrainian men on how war has changed them

“When I came back, I found I had a wife and a two-and-a-half-year-old child. That was hard. Before the invasion we were closer; it was very romantic. Now we are a lot colder and my daughter is struggling to see where I fit into their lives. Sometimes she calls me Daddy but sometimes she calls me Valentyn.
“I’m suffering with feelings of aggression. I can’t find anyone I trust to get help, so to cope I stay away from alcohol, I meditate and write my poetry.”

“My wife and I are closer since the invasion, especially since my injury. Young men have it harder – young women think the war is too much, too long. They are so fed up and are arguing with their men, but really there is no choice here.
“There are huge misunderstandings between Ukrainian men and women, lots of difficulties in relationships. The invasion has turned ordinary men into warriors, and that seeps into and divides the family.
“As soldiers, men function differently,” he says. “You are with this tight group and you know each other completely because you have to open up fast. Everything in war happens so quickly.”

“Ukrainians don’t give up, but what does suffer is the relationship between the sexes. A lot of couples are doing very worse now; lots of women left with the children. The days off – you can be 100 or 200 days on the frontline, about 15 days a year leave to see your family.
“It is very sad, but war is very sad. War doesn’t knock on your door, it just barges in.”

so fucking relatable whole article

because he brought beef tallow fries back

if you have not had the pleasure will instantly change your opinion

beef tallow fries are fucking awesome

steak n' shake is one of the places where can find everything fried in beef fat not just the fries but the onion rings chicken tenders everything

even offer beef tallow by itself to fry with at home

plus addicts know their healthcare paraphernalia and can find a vein better than any nurse

In a dramatic shift, Americans no longer see four-year college degrees as worth the cost

Jump

Verdant Banana @lemmy.world 6mo ago

Very noticeable here in the US how much college has become unaffordable and out of reach

Shows in everyday life here from the conversations to just any day to day interaction

In the media all comes out like it is made for young school kids with the words getting smaller and simpler with less sentence structures

Even if voting was not rigged here can tell with way people see our elected officials as football team members to rally behind

Higher education becoming unattainable will lead a country to poorer health, more underpaid factory workers, less quality of life for everyone, less progress, more repeated failures from history, etcetera
