Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.
No threats or personal attacks.
No spam.
Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Alternatively just make snake juice, the ingredients aren't that expensive for all your electrolytes.
Man, tell that to my kidneys. I swear every time I get a blood test at the doctor they send me to the emergency room to get another potassium IV no matter how many of their stupid pills I take. That shit burns going into your veins, too. I don't even have any symptoms. They just all see 2.5 whatevers per whatever of potassium on their stupid number sheet and think I must be dying. I get bad cramps in my legs every night for days after the IV too. I swear doctors just like torturing me.
You are aware you're able to reject treatment up until you drop unconscious and they believe they have to save your life, right? As long as you're awake and not suicidal you can literally just walk away.
Yeah, they say that. Then they say if you refuse they won't treat your other conditions because you're non-compliant. Technically it's true, but functionally they have you trapped if you have any other issues, which I do.
Yeah, hyperkalemia can get real fucking serious!
Aye, I just make sure to eat plenty of spinach and bananas before and after a small fast (I do at most 2 days, usually just 1). Apparently baked potatoes are also rich in potassium, I never knew until yesterday.
I prefer Salt Stick now. It's in gelcap form, no taste, fast acting, zero calories. Take as needed.
Good shout! Best price I could here in Denmark is 149 DKK for 100 capsules though ($23.42 USD / €19.96 EUR), and it says the recommendation is 1-3 capsules an hour? That seems like a lot, but maybe that's for elite sport and not a couch potato like myself heh.
The dosage I use if I'm fasting is just 1 caplet an hour as needed, with a max of 10 per day. As a couch potato myself, I rarely exceed 5-7 on a heavy day. Probably 3-4 typically, depending on how much water I'm drinking/expelling. If I'm feeling off or sense a cramp coming, I'll take one.
wtf is snake juice??
It's some concoction for days where you fast so you get some of the electrolytes that is expelled from your body as waste.
I guess one could think of it as "mineral water" because that's what it contains: just enough stuff for your cells so you don't cramp etc.
