I try not to body shame people but wtf is that

[-] nebulaone@lemmy.world 55 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Doing Steroids and not working out. Edit: HGH to be precise. And also for legal reasons: I just personally think so, I don't know for sure.

Whats the difference between a hormone and a steroid?

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

You gotta pay by the hour to make a hormone.

[-] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

And I ain't never paid a garbanzo to bean in my mouth

Alternate explanation:

Hormone: Pretty much any chemical your body uses for intra-body signaling. Signaling in this case can be anything from dumping adrenaline in order to move blood preferentially to the muscles, to the production of estrogen in order to promote cell growth in certain organs.

Steroid: A particular class of compounds grouped by the existence of a particular quartet of carbon atom rings inside each of the molecular structures. They have a very wide range of roles across the tree of life. Examples include, but are not limited to: testosterone, cholesterol, ergosterol, and progesterone.

Steroid (colloquial meaning): Pretty much any performance enhancing drug, including hormones and actual steroids.

[-] maniclucky@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

In this case, nothing. High dose testosterone is a hormone, hgh is a hormone. Both are PEDs (performance enhancing drugs). Now, the difference between them is a bit more interesting.

Testosterone, the original steroid, makes you big by maximizing your existing muscles (super paraphrased, as is everything I'm about to say). It's the one that gives you breasts and shrinks your balls (for those that have them).

Human growth hormone makes you big by inducing the creation of new muscle. As well as everything else. The stand outs being the heart, which you really don't want to grow, and the intestines, which gave bodybuilders roidgut.

Like I said, very paraphrased, but that's the gist of it. And doesn't touch more advanced things like tren.

No difference at all if you’re Elon musk and you take that shit but don’t bother to actually work out

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago
[-] PlaidBaron@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

On a human timescale? No.

On a cosmic timescale? Hell yeah.

Rob Liefeld did the character design

[-] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Is that why the feet are cropped out too?

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 49 points 3 months ago
[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 29 points 3 months ago

Important nipple addition in the drawing

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 18 points 3 months ago

It's critical for the aerodynamics

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

Like the headlights on a Nissan Leaf.

[-] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 months ago

My inner conspiracy theory is that Elon made the Cybertruck's shape while learning to use a modeling software, sent it to the engineers at Tesla and said "make this a car".

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

splines disabled.

[-] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago

Real question: how is he so wildly deformed?

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Idk if it's true but I remember reading that it's what happens when you take steroids but don't work out, which I'm totally willing to believe without any proof because it's 1000% something Elon Musk would do

[-] OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 months ago

It seems like he is just puffing out his chest to hide his belly. Probably because he knew he was on camera.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 16 points 3 months ago

What in the world was going on there? Is he OK?

[-] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

Is he OK?

Mentally? No.

Physically? Also no.

[-] KingGordon@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago

Bro shaped like a deep breath.

[-] recarsion@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 3 months ago

I wish there was a single day that this fucker wasn't in my feed, he thrives on attention and people are giving it to him

[-] SilentObserver@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

“It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane! No, it’s Polygonal Man!”

[-] aniki@lemmings.world 7 points 3 months ago

I finally got to see one of these in person! What a fucking dumb design... It's not even aerodynamic!

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I've actually seen a couple. It's insane how they manage to look worse in person

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

There are a few in my town and it's really hard not to stare as they go by, even after seeing them around a bit. I imagine a few accidents have happened by now because people can't stop rubbernecking and going "Holy shit, it looks even stupider in real life!!" >> crash.

[-] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Is this how boomers feel when they see someone with blue hair?

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

When you suck your fat gut in so hard your rib cage pops out.

[-] heroheman@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Everyone: "Low poly Elon is not real" Low Poly Elon:

[-] AtomicTacoSauce@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Both are equally gross.

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

When I was a kid, I would read (among other things) X-Men novels. Wolverine wasn't as popular of a character back then, but he frequently featured prominently. A common descriptor for his character was "barrel chested."

I never really knew what that meant before.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Both of my dogs are barrel-chested, so I understand the concept. My 18 pound chihuahua/dachshund mix has to wear a medium-sized harness because his chest is so big.

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Weird "Moonwalker" vibes.
