Solarpunk Strength Syndicate rises beneath the glare of corporate towers, a collective resistance forged from the fire of anarchic spirit and the pursuit of personal sovereignty.

In a world where fitness apps and digital trainers seek only to monetize our sweat, we offer a true alternative: a decentralized workout community that belongs to no corporation, only to the people.

Every workout is crafted by the faceless power of open AI, to be freely shared and rooted in solarpunk ideals of sustainability, resilience, and independence.

Here, the machines do not bind us; they are our tools, wielded collectively to build our strength and defy the oppression of technological gatekeepers.

(Ok, so actually I was just bored with my workout so now I'm gonna to workout every single day with ChatGPT telling me what to do. It'll be fun! And miserable!)

Veganuary? (self.solarpunkstrength)
submitted 4 weeks ago by Sergio to c/solarpunkstrength
 

Anyone else doing that veganuary? I'm posting here bc I'm mostly doing it for health reasons. That is, I agree with the moral and climate reasons but what finally motivated me were the health reasons.

I got a bunch of locally-produced refrigerated meals from a food co-op, to start out with. I've been munching on snack bars but I plan to phase those out. I'm hoping that by the end of the month I'll be doing more of my own cooking, since I have the bad habit of doing too much take-out.

I already messed up by eating a bowl of breakfast cereal that has honey listed as an "under 2%" ingredient, but I'll just start eating a different cereal for the rest of the month.

I went vegan for the environment a few years ago after being a lifelong vegetarian. I was totally surprised by how much I started to care about animals once I was vegan. I suspect it’s reduced cognitive dissonance now that I’m not contributing to the dairy industry, but my point is that your initial motivation might change.

Eating vegan for health reasons is stupid. The micronutrients your body needs to live healthy are abundant in animal-based foods (especially organ meat), but to get them from plant-based sources requires you to eat industrial quantities of plant matter. Regardless, good luck in your endeavors and I hope you can make it.

Turns out I'm not doing this right, I've gained 5 pounds in the last 3 days. At this rate I'll have gained 50 pounds by the end of the month wah.
