Someone please explain what ozempic is. Are we going to cringe at it 10 years from now like all the other diet stuff in the past?

Ozempic is the main reason Denmark isn’t currently in a recession. it’s made by Novo Nordisk, the biggest company in Denmark and also one of the biggest in Europe. It technically was developed as some type of diabetes medication and then was discovered to help people lose a LOT of weight very quickly.

It increases the risk of a few different types of cancer and may cause intestinal blockages.

It’s a hormone-like anti-diabetes drug that’s gotten popular as an off-label weight loss drug due to advertising and celebrity endorsements. It’s absurdly expensive and administered via injection.

My mom is diabetic (with a load of other issues) and it’s the only medicine that helps her.

These tricks will always be cringe because the science of weight loss already exists.

Weight control is all about calories, to lose weight you have to enter a calorie deficit (consume more than your intake) to gain weight you have to enter a calorie superavit (consume less than your intake). Your daily calorie baseline can be measure and it varies on current weight/activities/metabolism/etc… No drug will save you from that.

Create post

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
