Omfg I have a friend who claims he just loves eating raw onions and I know why now 🤯😂
And perhaps that explains why a colleague of mine is eating onions.
I’m sure that not everyone who frequents/ed that sub fits the profile you are imagining. Please don’t do this.
On CNN the hacker named 4chan strikes again
Good thing I have curtains, and a dog
At least they are just making them eat onions, it’s not like it’s going to make them sick or anything.
but, raw onion is just fucking good. why would you need to troll somebody into eating it?
I like raw onion but it doesn’t like me :(
Same, but I power through anyways
Are you allergic to alliums? Or just doesn’t sit well? I think raw onions might not be good for me, so I’m just wondering…
No idea never heard of that allergy, they just feel weird on my stomach like I want to burp them up or something. They also leave a lingering taste in my toungue.
Are you eating onion like a fuckin apple? Btw the skin has the most testo boost
Oh yeah and if you rub it in the arm pits you get to make both your skin and the onion testo boost stronger
I heard there was a study that said you have to rub hot chilli’s on the outside of the skin first to make it convert the T into something the body can uptake.
The chilis go in your eyes, dumbass.
no, but i do enjoy slices of onion and cheese as a snack from time to time.
I legit used to work with a lady who would do that. Her dad trolled her with an onion he told her was a weird apple as a kid. She loved it and just kept eating them. She was an interesting individual. In the best way.
Btw the skin has the most testo boost
This is misinformation.
Everyone knows that you get the biggest boost to testosterone by leaving the onions until they start to degrade; yes, this is the point when the chemicals that make you cry are strongest, but if you can hold back the tears then you get +50 testosterone.
This is disinformation. Everyone knows that you get the highest boost +100 of testosterone if you insert the raw onions in your ass daily. It’s equivalent to squatting 300 lbs.
/fit/ is the best board
Wow. So the new morality is that it’s okay to be an asshole if the target is crowd-approved and it creates something amusing to click on. So much more Enlightened than boomers!
Yes, it is moral to mildly inconvenience assholes.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, not into fitness and my testosterone seems fine, but I think it’s as ignorant as it is arrogant to decide a whole group of people are assholes because they have certain hobbies or interests or health concerns. Absolutely as ignorant as thinking black people are criminals.
Generalizing a group is a logical fallacy. Many humans don’t seem to realize that though and continue to do it anyways.
True, but the people who actually need testosterone will not be well served by researching on fitness forums, and most of the people on fitness forums who are trying to ‘increase their testosterone’ seem fair game as far as an amusing and mostly harmless prank.
It’s not nearly as close to the racist example as you think since no one is born a fitness bro or coerced into reading a forum post, and if they are, the could spend a minute considering a source. The only person this is likely to harm would be someone desperate to legitimately increase their testosterone, unwilling to go to a doctor and somehow harmed by eating onion. At that point it’s hard to say when a prank would ever be truly safe.
Yeah, I’m getting the hint that tricking people into self abuse and mocking them is the kind of thing you’d want to teach your kids to do as long as the people deserve it by being lumped into a legitimate target group, and that rationalizing that bit of minor cruelty on social media is super worthwhile.
why would you think this is a moral action?
I don’t, I meant OP appears to think it is, since people almost universally think their own actions are moral.
Im not sure they do. I think you are misreading the intent.
These aren’t some vulnerable protected class of people, it’s workout bros, if they can’t look into a study to see it’s bullshit that is on them. I agree though it’s a bit rude.
Oh I know… crowdsourced blanket judgements of entire groups of people are right as long as the right people do it and they’re right about it. Very common mentality, becoming more so in the meme era. I just don’t happen to agree with it.
Bro science is bad science.
Bro is bad
On a second thought this misinformation could also affect a trans masc person. I doubt it would, they are more vulnerable and hence would probably try to cross-check info… Or even rely on community support. In many cases, getting an actual testosterone prescription from a medical doctor is even possible.
Have i met trans people dumb enough to fall for this? Yes. Have I met trans people dumb enough to fall for this for longer than the length of time that it tends to take to get your first hormone prescription? If so I really hope that means it’s gotten faster since I started.
You start feeling it by a month.
That said, can I imagine trans guys who eat a ton of raw onions while on T? Yeah, absolutely
While I have great sympathy for trans people struggling in a world that doesn’t want to accept them or get them care they need, I also need to push back that they are in way victimized by this prank.
I don’t care who or what you are, if you’re stupid enough to fall for shit like this without spending 30 goddamn seconds googling for accuracy, you’re kinda just another dumb fuck. If you’re trans or looking for any solutions for gender-affirming care (yes, straight cis dudes trying to bulk up are also doing gender-affirming care) then it’s kind of on you to read up a LITTLE about how hormones work and how to manage them.
30 seconds googling for accuracy? Is that how long it takes to verify disinformation? What if you come across a study funded by big onion that says the same thing? How do you know you’re not being mislead on a higher level? You skim an ncbi article for 30 seconds and think you know right from wrong?
Well true, the fallacy of my assertion is that the person has even basic reading ability and basic comprehension, when the sad reality that we need to address with a lot more urgency is that 21% of the US population is functionally illiterate, and we are reinforcing a culture of willful ignorance, so yes there is another layer to the problem but otherwise, your contrarian and helpless attitude about this very basic and acceptable thing tells me a lot.
You talk about trans people as if they are removed
But how can cishet middle-class white liberals feel good about themselves if they’re not treating people of different class or ethnicity like helpless babies? Think of the people thinking of the children!
As a trans person, you don’t trust info that doesn’t come from the trans community.
As a trans person, community info is a mixed bag. Trust but verify and keep your bs detectors up. Also food won’t impact your sex hormone levels sufficiently unless it’s something like an herbal medicine that just happens to also be eaten for fun.
If there’s one thing children are known for, it’s checking their sources and being tied into larger minority communities
Except, A lot of people eat raw onions. On salads and sandwiches. Sometime I caramelize some onions and put them on a sandwich along with raw onions. I guess they cancel out when I do that ;)
i like raw onion but im not gonna eat a WHOLE raw onion let alone MULTIPLE
Don’t forget about pico de gallo. Raw onion, tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. And that’s just one of many Mexican foods that use raw onion.
Yeah but do they post up how much more manly and full of testosterone they feel afterwards?
Yeah, some people do like raw onions. Some like Vegemite. The trick is b getting the people who don’t to eat them
Once you caramelize onions they are socially acceptable in a much larger context.
Change my mind.
All onions are good onions. Big onion is best onion though
Pickled red onions are one of my top sandwich toppings. Easy to make and so goddam good.
I love these, what’s your go to recipe?
I follow J Kenji Lopez’s recipe
It’s goddam delicious.
I’m going to try to make this. Without the sugar of course.
ITT people discussing how good not-raw onions are.
Jokes on you, I’m Hungarian, I eat raw onions!
There good on burgers and hotdogs
And why wouldn’t you. I tend to not bite into the whole thing but suffer from occasional urges to do so.
Still remember that maybe 10 years ago on our way to Romania two grandpa’s in a restaurant in Hajdúnánás ordered some huge chives to dip in salt with their beers.
I ordered the same 10 minutes after and both gave me a drinking salute. Still eat it in summer, amazing healthy snack.
Raw onions are delicious.
I dated someone who started the butter diet online. they did it as a joke and then these fat people started to eat raw butter and shit themselves fatter.
most probably have high cholesterol or blocked arteries by now.
dumb people gonna dumb.
Deliberately posting misinformation and misleading people doesn’t make them dumb. It just makes the world a worse, more confusing place.
deliberately believing everything you read online without questioning the validity, makes the world a worse more confusing place.
it also makes you dumb as shit.
How deep do you go? Believing a post on 4chan? Dumb. Believing a comment on reddit? Dumb. Believing an article on a reputable news site? Dumb. Believing a study funded entities that may encourage a bias? Dumb. Believing a study from scientists that would rather cause sensation than do good science? Dumb. Guess the only solution is to put on that lab coat, get a doctorate and do the experiment yourself, huh? Or maybe put the blame on people spreading misinformation instead of the victims it hurts. There isn’t enough time in the fucking day to validate everything you come across, and if you’re not doing the experiments yourself you’re trusting someone.

nobody is asking you to either validate everything nor trust anything.
you’re telling me you can’t take something at face value until you’ve collected enough secondary information to validate or verify it?

That’s what you’re saying. Do you know what you’re saying?
deliberately believing everything you read online without questioning the validity, makes the world a worse more confusing place.
reading/seeing something and believing something are not the same.
if I told you that the metric for a meter was incorrect and it’s actually longer than what we currently understand it to be, would you believe me? would you take that information at face value and attempt to validate it somehow? what would make you believe it’s true?
Back in my day you wore them on your belt.
Only the yellow ones.
Because of the war.
I want all the context please
It was the style at the time
Man The Simpsons used to be so funny. Still kinda is but different.
Thanks! I thought it was simpsons deep down but I also wasn’t sure if it may have been legit in this timeline.
So like, did he compose entire fake studies for a laugh or are there real scientific studies out there about the effects of raw onion on testosterone
People will believe anything so long as you sound authoritative enough and if people don’t reason about it enough. It applies to everyone even me
Little known fact. The leading cause of receiving a cancer diagnosis is being screened for cancer.
I believe you!
There’s the paradox.
So many people believe: because they know about a bias, they are not affected. Hint: they are!
Ok well in the absence of real information I am going to imagine he photoshopped an infographic together
