I find the audio-visual experience (tilted elements, slightly blurry or shaky, semi-kinetic and burpy cronchy weird noises) of this website jarring as the act of over-consumption itself. Nicely done.
Maybe these are incompatible desires, but I would really like some kind of system that allows me to own and present my own music listening data while also allowing me to interoperate with a broader music listening culture.
Newsletters and blogs are great for discovery, but I also really value the way my last.fm has allowed me to recall a band I used to listen to a decade ago because I can remember a few of their contemporaries that are neighbours in the Similar Artists graph.
I wonder if the phone has an auto volume off feature after no sound plays after n minutes? I have an app on my mac called AutoMute that does similar, but it just mutes my mac whenever my headphones get disconnected.
True, but it's for my forgetful self where I raised the volume on the mac speakers to play something aloud, then plug in my earphones and play some death metal only to get up and walk away quickly accidentally yanking it out. At least 10 years ago it would continue playing the music at whatever volume I had the mac speakers on.
I would also love to know how OP integrated logging these! I'm interested in this kind of tracking but I haven't found an ergonomic way to use it (not that I've tried hard).
Not my site and I couldn't figure out who the author is. Some of it could definitely be automated but I know I would have a very hard time recording food consistently like this.
Yeah, it's quite worrying. The best I'm seeing is just two eggs, which is about a tenth of the total protein they should probably be eating.
If you're reading thus, the general rule of thumb is 1.8g/kg of lean body mass. Works out as around 4 meals per day of 20-40g of protein each, depending on weight.
Wonderful website! I would like the creator to continue existing for as long as possible.
That's way more than the US RDA, which is 0.8g/kg.
I try to hit 2g/kg when I'm actively training as an athlete, and it's not that easy, and the tradeoffs to diet probably aren't worth it for most people.
Public health recommendations have a notoriously poor record (take the food pyramid for example), so RDAs aren't exactly the way to build a healthy diet. [0]
For example, here's a paper uncovering a statistical error in the calculation of the RDA for Vitamin D (600IU), resulting in it being over 10x lower than it should be (~9000IU). [1]
[0] From Harvard Health website: "The RDA is the amount of a nutrient you need to meet your basic nutritional requirements. In a sense, it's the minimum amount you need to keep from getting sick — not the specific amount you are supposed to eat every day."
It's not bro science, and the number I gave is actually less than the standard recommendation of 1g/lb of bodyweight per day, which you can see explained here [0].
Most people should be doing some form of resistance training, so not sure how this can be "barely relevant for most people".

A perfect metaphor.
That can't be all the food their eating right? That's like 1/5th of the calories I eat as an athletic man
Some of the days are pretty wild.
September 15: Two plates of popcorn + pretzels.
September 13: Three packs of gummy bears. Carrots and pretzels.
... and for someone who's watching The Bear, a show about food especially aimed at food lovers.
I thought The Bear was about a bunch of people yelling at each other.
It's a show about the food industry, so you're correct.
I love this.

Do you mean something like last.fm with their API [0]? Or did you have something more in mind?

Should have turned down the volume on my phone.
I wonder if the phone has an auto volume off feature after no sound plays after n minutes? I have an app on my mac called AutoMute that does similar, but it just mutes my mac whenever my headphones get disconnected.

Forces volume on speaker to stay at zero unless temporarily disabled or headphones are connected. Works great.
Macs remembers the volume per device
True, but it's for my forgetful self where I raised the volume on the mac speakers to play something aloud, then plug in my earphones and play some death metal only to get up and walk away quickly accidentally yanking it out. At least 10 years ago it would continue playing the music at whatever volume I had the mac speakers on.
How do you track all of these data points per day?
I would also love to know how OP integrated logging these! I'm interested in this kind of tracking but I haven't found an ergonomic way to use it (not that I've tried hard).

Please eat some protein

And how's that going for the US?

You only need that much protein if you're trying to build muscle. The amount needed for a generally healthy diet is much lower.
There is no generally healthy diet that doesn't include building muscle.
Lol that is a broscience number that is barely relevant for most people. Where did you learn this?

Very cool - how is the data being integrated under the hood?
That's a lot of carrots
and what looks to be uncooked root vegetables
I adore weird websites
how did you have time to manually enter everything. you must have created a tool to quickly collect the items every day
Wow, this diet looks very healthy, but on some days the calorie intake seems very low.
super cool archive! found their taste in music and blogs so great, i ended up scraping the site to get all the links, songs and artists haha
I was hoping for a Richie Hawtin[1] retrospective!

this is an amazing set of websites, coherently designed
Very good. Would be nice to have an rss feed.
That is work, the food seems to be unique
Warning: Audio
Dude eats pretzels every day. Must be a huge fun.

Websites really need a warning before they play an incredibly loud sound without any notice. Infuriating.
Actually this is not needed, because you can configure Firefox to block autoplay of audio and video content on all websites by default.
