I looked him up and he is English. Weren’t English sailors called Limeys because of the lime juice in their rations, specifically for scurvy prevention? He should have signed up with the Admiralty instead of the pirates.
Funny enough…
-
Yes.
-
The lime juice was meant as a cheaper alternative to lemon juice. And it wasn’t very effective, lmao. National militaries and sabotaging the health of their troops to save a buck - name a more iconic duo.

According to the internet, he did it at university, eating nothing but mince, chicken, and mayonnaise for about 2 months. He did so to annoy other students in his classes who were vegan or vegetarian.
I’ve actually heard a few stories of uni students getting scurvy, although they were because they either didn’t know how to cook or couldn’t afford food.
That makes more sense. Although I think the carnivore diet is stupid, most people that are doing it or similar diets eat organ meats, many of which contain sufficient vitamin C among many other important vitamins and minerals.
Eating chicken salad with a spoon every day seems like it would cause all kinds of dietary issues.
To be fair, he said he did this his first year in college- everyone did dumb shit in college.
One sure sign that you’re not masculine, is doing things to show others how masculine you are.
In medival times if you could afford to only eat meat it meant you were a rich soft fancy boy.
That’s not super accurate, there were still public lands for hunting and chickens and goats were eaten regularly by non-nobles.
That said, it wasn’t common to have meat at every meal.
Also: feast days, and there were a fucktonne of them (more than the pitiful handful we get nowadays) and were almost always catered lavishly by their local lord as a show of wealth.
I’m not saying life was ‘better’ then, just that we have a lot of misconceptions about historic periods, usually influenced by movies and other entertainment media.
So… is it ok to move your human to an all meat diet?
Quite apparently no. Give your omnivorous human the vitamins it needs!
You can get that good, scurvy-busting vitamin C from meat just fine, all you have to do is eat it raw
“You wouldn’t pirate an illness”
Should’ve eaten some sauerkraut and fried onions! The manliest of all vegetables! Has the bonus effect of repelling ladies up to 5 feet away!
On one hand it’s stupid to sabotage your health to appear more masculine. On the other hand casually bringing up that you have contracted a pirate illness in conversation does sound pretty damn masculine.
Fellas is it gay to be healthy
Maybe I’m slow or something, but I don’t get how eating meat is masculine.
Not slow, just lucky to have not encountered such cretins. There is a very non-zero amount of men who believe that ‘traditional’ masculinity includes avoiding ‘feminine’ foods, including ‘rabbit food’ (ie anything green, leafy, or vaguely healthy). The meat-only diet is the natural extension of this line of thinking to the full caveman-stereotype conclusion.
Sounds like insecurity to me.
Very much so.
The stupidest thing is that actual cave people probably couldn’t catch meat daily and thus also ate a lot of gathered plants.
could also be the belief that red meat increases testosterone, so they become high t alpha males
You see, like, wolves eat meat, and they are masc as fuck. You ever seen a gay wolf? Wait no don’t look tha- screaming in terror
(signed, a gay af wolf <3)
I guess nobody ever told this genius about multivitamins either.
Broccoli and tomatoes are okay, but carrots are questionable, and zucchini is hella gay.
Zucchini is shaped like a penis. It doesn’t get any more manly than that.
that just reminds me of a shitty intelligent design meme where all the foods look like the organ they say they’re good for.
My new proposed man diet is bananas, cucumbers, mushrooms, and animal dicks. Manliest of diets.
The Doctrine of Signs, haha good memories.
Just as an aside: It has its roots in the ancient greek philosophers and was considered for centuries to be the pinnacle of rational thought. I mean, it wasn’t, but for literally more than a thousand years it has been a form of mental masturbation amongst the oldschool academic elite.
Got a lot of shelf fungus prescribed as ear medication lol
Scurvy is one of the manliest diseases, though, so he kind of failed this one successfully
#notallmen
As a man without scurvy, I can personally attest that not all men have scurvy
