Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The actual payoff is that it makes you feel better and keeps you feeling better for longer.
Why go through the trouble to avoid sugar, when I can just shoot some insulin twice a day and have my leg amputated at age 45? /s
...and then you drop at 57 for something nobody could see coming. ๐ You pick which immunodeficiency, neurodegenerative or oncological problem.
1000 push-ups a day ain't gonna save you from dementia.
Then again, people are living well into their nineties...but given what I've seen, I'm not so sure they feel better, regardless of their exercise regime, past or present.
It's a wiggly world, friend. ๐ค
Maybe not excessive pushups specifically, but healthy food and sane amounts of exercise HAVE been shown to decrease the risk or lessen the severity of aging related diseases, most cancers, and more.
It's not a panacea and sometimes you still get the shit sandwich of unpreventable disease or accidents or whatever, but treating your body and brain like you want to keep them ABSOLUTELY makes you more resilient towards all sorts of unforeseeable maladies.
Wow, this is so true. I'm going to stop maintaining my relationships because anyone I know could get hit by a bus tomorrow. I'm also done with that stupid coursework, because what if I suffer a catastrophic brain injury that makes me forget everything I learned? I'm going to go rob a bank because the police could come and frame me for murder any day now. And I think I'm going to go jump off a cliff because death comes for us all anyway.
Sage advice, raoul.
Where in does my post does it say, "WARNING: Sage Advice. To be taken literally. Do not take with snark, sarcasm or facetiousness."
Relax. You'll live longer. ๐ค
This is basically the same as saying that you should not get a job because one day you might win the lottery.
Work IS for suckers. โค๏ธ
Retarded take. Full on.
Mh father has this take too, makes me want to make a neck swing.
From my experience 60's is the thing. 50's happen but its real rare (death or disability) but it becomes not so rare in 60's and if you make it through 70's your really lucky. 80's are kinda a miracle and anyone making it past 90's and into triple digits gets at least a local tv spot.
