      What are they selling? Apart from ads and your data. If anything it sounds like they’re saying the stress will make you consume less so it’s a horrible opportunity to lose weight if you haven’t been able to before. Still a weird take though as war is usually associated with being malnourished, might be the reason it seems offensive rather than trying to make the best of a bad situation.

        Wait, are we talking about the same thing? I meant Mr Fantastic of the Fantastic 4 comic, for which I believe all the movies should probably be buried somewhere. I don’t remember them that well. Captain Fantastic with Viggo Mortensen is great, but a totally different genre. Fantastic Mr Fox is a hoot. Not sure what other options it could be.

          I have a soft spot for the fantastic 4 movie from the early 2000s it wasn’t perfect but I kinda liked it, we don’t talk about fant4stic though…

            If that’s the one with Chris Evans, yeah, it was alright, much better than the later ones iirc.

    Something tells me this was AI being told to write a tweet about weight loss based on what current events are being discussed online

    That has to be a record in inappropriateness.

    It’s like saying that concentration camps are great for losing weight and reducing urban over population in the ghetto.

      the smell of ash and charred flesh in the air is terrible. on the other hand you can use it to form a healthy disgust of food. loose weight and look great on the beach. the sea water will wash your sins away. the sand will exfoliate your guilt.

    Another shining example of why the Jerusalem post is a propagandistic rag. And not a very good one at that.

    Holy hyper-normalization :O

    ETA: One could figure out the state of our media and our (online) existence by just thinking a bit about those beautiful hashtags.

    What do ruzzians do when they know they need to loose a few pounds? They go to war of course! Did you know that a bullet hole can make you loose anywhere between one and fifty pounds? And that’s not including the actual brass or lead. Larger motion tends to remove pounds fast! Way fast. Many of the same ruzzians will start with just one and then gather a bunch of weight loss really quickly. Others like to get the one shot and gradually, over a period of several months loose a lot of weight. Like a lot. Some are not even flesh and bones, some are just bones.
