There’s too much misinformation on this subject. I’m not an expert, but this is all based on what I’ve read from the most reliable scientific sources I can find.

Creatine timing doesn’t matter at all since your body has to load it over the course of days or weeks anyway. Take it whenever. Just take 5g at some point every day.

Pre-workout obviously before working out. Ostensibly 30 minutes before, to give your body time to take it in. But be aware that caffeine is the only legal OTC pre workout chemical that’s proven to be effective. A recent study even showed carbs didn’t increase performance measurably.

Recent studies show protein timing doesn’t really matter at all either. Your body will use the protein you give it. Now, you probably do want to get enough around the time you’re triggering muscle protein synthesis… Like, within a few hours of exercise. Ie, don’t fast all day, work out, then get your protein 8 hours later.

Other than that? The best pre workout is sleep. Get enough of that shit every night for your best gains in basically every area of your physical and mental health.

I was on Reddit for 17 years. It was my home on the Internet. I used to go to Reddit meetup days and hang out with other Reddit nerds. It’s natural for people to have sentimental feelings about something that’s been such a big part of so many of our lives.

I haven’t been back since the Lemmy exodus, except by accident a few times. But I miss what it was.

Man…it’s been years, so I don’t remember, but honestly it felt like it at the time. Everyone hated their massive V4 redesign, so people just…left. The Reddit situation is different, because it only really affected third-party app users, not every single user of the site.

Edit: I looked it up, and yeah, there was a “quit Digg day” on August 30, 2010 when pretty much everybody just left for Reddit and didn’t look back. It helped that people actively bombed Digg’s front page with links to Reddit that day, letting people know where to go. Two days later Digg’s CEO was ousted by the board, two months later they laid off 37% of their staff. They basically died overnight. That’s not happening to Reddit.

It’s worth noting that Reddit has been around a lot longer than Digg had at the time, and has way more traffic than Digg ever did. Unseating Reddit is going to be a lot harder than quitting Digg was.

17 years. Probably the only site other than Google I’ve visited almost every day since then. It’s extremely depressing to lose Reddit after all that time. But I’m enjoying Lemmy, and hoping we can grow it Digg-exodus-style.

That’s fucking ridiculous. Maybe we should all start posting this meme and get ourselves banned.

Reach out to The Verge, they’ve been covering the Reddit debacle pretty well and I bet they’d love to hear from you.

Slashdot has had that (but for upvotes) for like 20 years, haha. It’s…mildly useful.
