@Comstock Yeah! My paperlike 3 is good enough for any video I've watched. I don't really notice the lower frame rate. Displaying videos wears it out faster apparently, but I think that's over the course of years.

I agree that internet distraction is bad but I've done long days on my LCD working with text only (almost all black and white) with very little distracting internet browsing, and still felt super drained at the end. But on my E-Ink device, I can even watch videos and click around, and still feel very good at the end of the day.
Have you ever tried used an app like f.lux to reduce the blue light emitted by your screen? Would be interested to know if you would feel the same as when using your E-ink screen.
That would be a good experiment. I've never tried leaving flux on all day. I used to have it set on max in the evenings and it certainly works very well for allowing sleepiness to occur at the appropriate time. I'll try a full day on LCD but with maxxed flux the whole time and report back.
I was on my LCD all morning (about 5 hours) with flux at 1200K (so red that blues don't really display) Throughout I was sitting by my window and periodically looking at the daylight, as usual. So the screen was the only difference.
- I noticed my eyes feeling not too great after about 15 minutes
- To think about something, I had to kind of take a moment to bring it into my brain, especially true while i was looking at the screen. I would say i had and have some mild brain fog.
- I was more lazy and found myself having kind of browsed through text documents for an hour instead of truly being productive and just doing the stuff to be done.
- I do feel tired and a bit burnt out.
- My eyesight is now a bit blurrier
- Even an hour afterwards, including with time spent outside, I was a bit forgetful and made some cognitive errors (walking to the wrong place to get something)
- However, though I do feel brain fog, I would say i feel less brain fog than i did back when i used to look at the non-flux LCD screen. So either flux does help somewhat or I'm kind of "stocked up" on dopamine from all my e-ink usage.
- Also with flux I don't feel immediately visually "assaulted" by the screen's light the way i do when i look into a non-flux screen blasting light at me.
So an LCD with flux on and maxed out feels better than an LCD without flux, but not as good as E-Ink.

Can someone help me out im shitting 5-6 times a day this is just getting stupid now? Is this bad? I feel good but it seems a bit overkill?
Yes, thats bad but what do you actually eat?
Definitely should add potatoes. -
I've been eating lots of fruits, apples, kiwi, banana, potatoes, sorghum porridge and rabbit meat, mutton, bone broth etc... Also gelatin sometimes and decaf coffee. also organs from sheep

Interesting. Do E-ink devices emit less EMF?

Holy shit I think I'm about to make it to a healthy metabolism... I'm almost there... Just waiting for my grass fed livers next week
I feel surges of energy through my body if I focus my attention on my energy???

Update:
Mostly inspired by this thread I have bought an E-Ink tablet . The Boox note air 4c.I had to become a mini expert on e inks but I think I made the right decision.
I've even using it for over a month and I like it so far. It's less taxing on the eyes.
And most importantly it doesn't feel weirdly stimulating, ADHD-inducing like LCD displays. It doesn't stress me as much.There is still a little EMF:
On the front the values go up to 0.5uT averaging 0.1-0.3 uT.
On the back there is close to zero or zero measurable EMF, so if you touch it on the back you can reduce EMF exposure.I can't use if for working I think it's too small for that. Typing also takes longer. So I'm using mostly the stylus to literally write what I want to post, which is fine. I'm also using text to speech which works surprisingly well. Still if I need to be quick, I don't use my E-Ink I go for my laptop or phone. If I only read, research do little typing it's a very good device.
Watching videos on it works as well and also feels less stimulating than on other devices.

@zaaku yes and I think slow metabolism is also slow mental processing.
-
@Corngold Awesome. What worked for you?
-
@zaaku caffeine/coffee WITH sugar and milk, more fruit, less pufa, potatoes, sugar. I use aspirin when needed but don't want to over do it.
