 The only thing more enlightening than experiencing #carnivore brainpower is when you cheat and get knocked back down to the old hardware.

I engaged in some carbo-shenanigans last night, and all day today I could physically FEEL the inner-NPC clawing at my back.

> Energy/motivation down a notch
> Increased carb cravings / lower meat satisfaction
> Feeling a stronger pull to do NPC actions (mindlessly-scroll on phone, watch TV, etc.)

It's wild how much of a contrast there is. Even writing this post right now, I can feel myself having to THINK about the words I'm typing more, rather than the thoughts flowing effortlessly like they normally do.

It's a solid reminder to give some slack to the plant-eaters out there. Their brains are legitimately handicapped; this foggy state is all they've ever known 🫠
