Links for Monday, October 8, 2018: Ashton Lambie, vibrator myths, really old-timey pumpkin spice, Mac is skinny, and the thyroid diet

October 8, 2018

Since I’ve been hustling to finish a couple big projects the last month, we’ve fallen behind. Got some catching up to do!

Meet Ashton Lambie, Kansan and new World Record Holder in the 4k Individual Pursuit

I've watched that giant 'stache ride away from me in approximately 1,000 gravel races.

Your favorite party story about how doctors used to manually "stimulate" the genitals of hysterical women with vibrators? That one? It's probably a myth.

And we're all worse off for it. 

Even prehistoric Asians couldn’t resist the #PSL

“Look, it's not that hard. All you need to do is lift weights six days a week, stop drinking alcohol, don't eat anything after 7 p.m., don't eat any carbs or sugar at all, in fact just don't eat anything you like, get the personal trainer from Magic Mike, sleep nine hours a night, run three miles a day, and have a studio pay for the whole thing over a six to seven month span. I don’t know why everyone’s not doing this. It’s a super realistic lifestyle and an appropriate body image to compare oneself to.”

No more cultivation of mass for Mac. I hate, hate, hate the culture that pretends that models and actors/actresses can eat all they want and somehow magically stay thin. Maybe Rob McElhenney gets to say things that actresses can’t.

Is there such a thing as the “thyroid diet?”

Within reason, no. (registration required)

A patient once 3-D printed this owl for me. It was pretty badass. But nowhere near as badass as a functioning 3-D printed ovary that allows mice to get pregnant(!).

Kids who eat meals at regular times, go to bed on time, and don't drool in front of a screen hours a day have a lower risk of obesity later in life. Huh. "Three-year-old children who had regular bedtimes, mealtimes, and limits on their television/video time had better emotional self-regulation. Lack of a regular bedtime and poorer emotional self-regulation at age 3 were independent predictors of obesity at age 11."

Are the flame retardants in your house putting your cat (and you?) at risk of hyperthyroidism? As much as I'm fascinated by the topic, I'm even more in love with the idea of an "animal endocrine clinic."
