How social media works

—-

You:

“I’m going to eat a biscuit 🙂”

—-

The replies:

“But I don’t like biscuits! 😡”

“You shouldn’t eat that type of biscuit, you should eat this type of biscuit instead”

“Biscuits are bad for you”

“Allow me to educate you about biscuits. You probably don’t know this but…”

“You should make your own biscuits instead”

“I just had some vegetables from my vegetable garden, much better than biscuits!”

“I’m better than you at eating biscuits”

“Fake!”

“Wrong!”

“I actually did my PHD on biscuits so I’m more qualified than you to talk about biscuits”

“Alright for some!!! Some of us can’t afford biscuits!!!”

“Why am I seeing this on my feed?”

“That’s not how you spell biskuits”

“My great grandmother actually invented biscuits”

“No, sorry, I do not want diabetes thank you very much. Do you have diabetes? I bet you have diabetes.”

“How are you not dead?”

“Unfollowed”

“Where can I buy biscuits please?” (It’s written in the post, and the answer is “all supermarkets”)

“What are these biscuits called?”

“Processed rubbish!!!!! 😡”

“Do you mean cookies?”

“I’m not reading all that”

“I haven’t eaten biscuits since I saw a YouTube video about biscuits and saw they’re made with horse poo”

“I haven’t eaten a biscuit since being diagnosed with gout in 1972”

“Recipe please”

“That’s not a biscuit, it’s a cake, there was a famous court case that said…”

“I know this is meant to be a lighthearted post about biscuits, but I’m going to talk about something incredibly serious and off-topic instead…”

“So?”

“I find this post offensive”

“🤢🤮🤮”

“Why?”

“No banana for scale?”

“Where is the plate from please?”

“Hello kind stranger. I came across your profile and I must say I hold a deep respect for you and your content. Please can you DM so we can start a mutual friendship. Bless you dear. 🌹”

“You need to get out more mate”

“Biscuits were better in my day”

“Oh I love biscuits! Great post! Thank you! Love your content!”

Meet Vanessa Williams 👋

Ness has been hooked on theatre since high school, with her favourite role being Helena in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. After three years with Remarkable Theatre, she’s learned that being on stage is cheaper than therapy—and twice as fun.

Now she’s stepping into the heels of Eleanor in Take A Chance on Me: a sharp-tongued, tough-as-nails lawyer searching for love… and a good book. 📚✨

Netflix has just released a behind the scenes documentary of that famous TV show “The Biggest Loser” (2002-2017) that we ALL watched and it’s #1 trending

The winner of Season 8 Danny Cahill lost 239 pounds (108 kg) and won $250,000 USD. Here’s how he did it:

Diet of 800 calories a day while burning 6,000 in boot camp style.
Blood in urine, appetite suppressants, up to 8 hours a day training
Didn’t eat for 10 days before the final weigh in

After the show, he put back all the weight (photo in orange shirt below)

While this makes for great television these are real people whose lives are at stake.

New Show Idea: The Biggest Loser ❌The Biggest Behaviour Changer ✔

Episode #1: Contestants learn about fat vs carb burning and metabolism. They are each provided a coach who wasn't a nasty drill sergeant bully, but a supporter who walks alongside them through the journey?

Weighed every episode ❌ Continuous glucose monitoring showed every episode ✔

Contestants wear a continuous glucose monitor and the audience learns about normalising all their metabolic hormones like insulin, leptin, the GLP-1 system would function normally.

Exercise: 8 hours daily bootcamp style ❌Zone two aerobic exercise ✔

Contestants learn how to do Zone 2, strength training and how to keep doing it for life. They’d have a coach who helped them do what they love to do.

Short term outcome: They number on the scale might not be as low

Long term outcome: Actual success, the ability to change behaviour and keep the weight off while the number on the scale would be lower.

Some would also fail - the reality of real world weight loss. But would anyone watch this? It's hard, it takes a long time, and you don’t always come out the other side looking like a temporary fashion model.

The entertainment value is probably much lower, educational value much higher? On this basis it's not going to be Netflix anytime soon.

What did you think of the show?

🥊The undisputed world heavy weight boxing championship took place recently. The winners coach was asked if their man (undefeated and almost always the smaller guy) trained in any way differently from other boxers? He said something interesting I thought – that when he was on his airflow bike and once he was exhausted they gave him puzzles to do. They wanted him to be able to think and analyse when fatigued. I’ve talked to a few people about this and they said Formula One drivers and some Tour de France cyclists do something similar.

🚴‍♂️🥇So this is me giving it a go.

Lies are heavy. They demand maintenance. Once you tell one, you have to create another to cover it, then another to protect the last. Soon, you’re trapped in a web of your own making, constantly calculating, remembering, and fearing exposure.

Truth, on the other hand, is light. It doesn’t require rehearsal. It doesn’t need you to keep track of what you said yesterday or to whom. When you live in truth, your words align with your reality, and your conscience remains at peace.

Yes, truth can be uncomfortable. It can make others upset or disappointed. But it also builds trust, respect, and freedom. It clears the fog from your mind and frees your heart from the exhausting burden of pretence.

🌿 Truth is not always easy, but it is always simple.
🌿 Truth may hurt temporarily, but lies destroy permanently.

Choose honesty. Not because the world demands it, but because your soul deserves the peace that only truth can bring.
