It’s not. Every mainstream media outlet is turning into the same kind of random collection of content because they overbuilt and overhired during the era of easy money. Now they are having to resort to layoffs, cutbacks, and content diversification to also make up for declining ad revenue (whole mess of issues with that). Seeing the same thing with Business Insider (which is now just “Insider”) and Fortune.

If there was a way to medically induce this type of hibernation in people! Imagine losing 1/3 of your body weight over 5 month period. You can still be somewhat active during the day but you don’t feel hunger and you don’t need to drink. Chores done and forget the diet because you’re not hungry!

how is the sockeye salmon 2000 – 5000 calories? am I missing something here, how is that more calories than a popeyes meal?

October 4, 2023 at 11:01 pm
Each fish is probably at least few pounds each. Let’s say each fish has 2.2 lbs of “meat” after subtracting the weight of bones and stuff like that. Converting to grams, 2.2 lbs is 1 kg which is 1000g. I don’t know actual values but maybe 800g of the meat is protein and 200g are fat. Protein is 4 calories per gram and fat is 9 calories per gram. That gives you 800g x 4 calories/gram + 200g x 9 cal/gram = 5000 calories.

@The FearI think we also don’t eat the whole fish ourselves. One sockeye salmon can feed a small family (with sides like rice and veggies). They’re big fish!
Sgt.Briskee
October 13, 2023 at 2:00 am
@Mikehold on right there. You can not directly convert the weight of the fish directly to grams of protein because a lot that weight is actually water and other micro and macro nutrients. 1000 grams of fish does not directly translate to 100% protein and fat.

There isn’t enough to eat during the winter. Most animals actually hibernate or migrate away for the winter months. Only a small handful of specialists remain fully active year round in cold northern regions.
