    I think Reddit is dysfunctional because people are dysfunctional. My hope is to be able to address that by improving people’s health & function via the gut microbiome.

    Umm… what?

      I mean there are studies linking various brain stuff with gut microbiome. It’s actually a thing backed by actual science. I didn’t read the blog though so I don’t know what they said in context and…well I kind of don’t care.

        It’s a lot of incoherent misrepresenting of facts and tangential connections that seem really indicative of disorganized speech/thinking.

        At least from the bit I skimmed…

        You do realize that just makes you look, like, actually insane, right?

        Like, that in combination with everything else you wrote just makes it seem like mad ramblings and sort of discounts anything you have to say since you’re leading an angry rant with “put someone else’s poop in your butt”.

        And then when you say you’ve been banned from multiple sites and it’s all a grand conspiracy from Reddit to be out to get you, people are just going to think “this guy opened the article by suggesting you shove someone else’s poop in your butt.”

        I know there are studies blah blah blah. But you understand how this looks, right?

              You may be right. It may just be a bunch of immature teenagers in here who can’t stop giggling and concentrate on anything after someone alluded to the topic of “poop”.

              How unfortunate that this is what the internet has become.

              Though based on the gaslighting, systematic downvotes, and insults, it doesn’t seem likely that the activity in this thread is organic at all; even from immature teenagers.

                Uh no it’s people that found your post on all because Lemmy doesn’t have that much going on still and is struggling to point out to the person that is having a mental breakdown the extent of their disconnect with reality.

                Some people have patched onto that but you are showing no sign of being willing or able to take criticism and you are making false logical jumps that everyone that disagrees with you must be some shit headed teenager because you have no grasp of a reality outside your own.

                You have seriously disconnected.
                Seriously I have the same conversations with my sister who suffers pretty badly from schizophrenia. When she’s off her medication she does the same things and talk about how the internet is full of kids trying to hurt her while she refuses to go to the doctor because she thinks they are FBI agents trying to steal her other kidney.

                It’s a complete disconnect that you think everyone is specifically after you. I just care cause I see this in family I can’t help and probably none of us can help you either but seek help.

                No one in here really cares enough to brigade you and no one cares a fuck who you are. I just dislike seeing this kind of mental delusions because of personal reasons. Best of luck to you and hope you get better.

      As much as I hate to agree about anything with this ridiculous person, they’re not completely wrong. There’s well documented evidence that the microbial flora in your gut can affect the way you think. Can it suddenly make you happy after a lifetime of misery? I sincerely doubt it. Here’s a better example. Let’s say your favorite food are strawberry poptarts and you eat a box or two a day. Your gut is probably full microbes that love to break down everything about strawberry pop-tarts. If you start to eat broccoli and cheddar baked potatoes instead pop-tarts, your microbes that like pop-tarts will begin to starve and start sending signals to their cousins in your brain. Suddenly you have desperate cravings for strawberry pop-tarts. This will continue until you eat pop-tarts or until the pop-tarts loving population is reduced through starvation and replaced with other microbes that love potatoes broccoli and cheese.

      I remember loving the taste of certain artificially sweetened things like a Wendy’s Frosty. Now, when I try them, I do not get any pleasure from it and I can clearly taste his the sweetness is chemical and gross. That’s because I no longer have trillions of microbes yelling at my brain that artificial flavoring is the best thing ever. It’s weird as fuck.

      All that said, there’s a gap the size of the Grand Canyon between craving control and mental health manipulation. OP be out there with a hand glider trying to make that leap.

        Why are you accusing me of being a ridiculous person?

        This is simply ignorance on your end. As I mentioned in a previous comment, there’s a link included to more information. Feel free to click on it and learn something new. It’s pretty disappointing to see Lemmy users exhibiting many of the worst behaviors of people on reddit – i.e. overconfident willful ignorance.
