      being bisexual is being attracted to two very specific types of men, and all women- those being femboys and “i know it when i see it but it’s certainly not muscle dudes”

        Makes sense. You need fat (energy) to build and maintain the muscles. Muscles get used as energy source first, fat second, because fat is for emergencies.* Which is why muscly without fat looks so fake (and ugly imo).

        * At least that’s what i was educated for cows as a farmer, no clue what the fitness guys learn nowadays.

          No, your body prefers fat as an energy source. Turning muscles into energy is a lot of effort for your metabolism, and building new muscles when you refeed also.

            Uhm, no, it builds first fat, needs fat as an “ingredient” to build muscles (makes no sense to build all that muscle if you barely have enough energy to survive). Then burns preferably muscles. Fat is hard to convert, protein (muscle) is easily accessible (bodybuilders take protein as supplement). You need excercise and not just starving to lose weight, no?

            And btw, even just keeping muscles needs more energy. Fat not.

              No, muscle protein synthesis needs amino-acids. Fat is not used to build muscle

              Then burns preferably muscles

              No

              Fat is hard to convert

              Not nearly as hard as it is for the body to atrophy muscle mass, turn the proteins into amino-acids, and turn those amino-acids into glucose and then ATP

              protein (muscle) is easily accessible (bodybuilders take protein as supplement)

              It isn’t, and the digestion of whey protein supplements can not be compared to muscle atrophy

              You need excercise and not just starving to lose weight, no?

              At this point I’m sure you’re just trolling, because that couldn’t be further from the truth

              And btw, even just keeping muscles needs more energy

              True

              Fat not

              Keeping fat cells also uses energy, just not nearly as much as muscle mass

          Ah yeah, that was dumb, I should’ve specified that you can do that, if you’re looking at the post in the Lemmy web-UI.

          The button would take you to the webpage of the original post, so before it got federated. Images often load when I do that, because my instance has an image proxy that’s sometimes at fault for loading errors. If I’m interpreting your screenshot correctly, slrpnk.net has an image proxy, too.

          Maybe your app has a different button to open the original post, or a button to open the Lemmy webpage for the post in your browser and then you can click the rainbow pentagon there…
