Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Do you have any sources for that? Especially about meat causing limper dick than veganism?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I found a couple - not sure how credible they are:

https://www.diabetes.co.uk/news/2024/feb/vegan-lifestyle-associated-with-reduced-risk-of-erectile-dysfunction.html

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34979217/

Additionally, rather anecdotal evidence, a lot of vegan reddit users also claimed to have better erections iirc. From personal experience, I can support that claim too.

It would make sense, though, since vegan diets have a positive effect on your cardiovascular system, directly leading to less clogged arteries and better blood flow.

But that would point to a less fatty diet being the cause, not specifically the not eating meat part

Sorry, I don't take hearsay as evidence.

Truth is, there is little evidence suggesting benefits of veganism beyond being good for the environment. The "benefits" people are seeing is simply a result of an overlapping Venn diagram between vegans and people who exercise well and take care of themselves. Correlation is not causation.

While veganism has been shown to decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic syndrome, it also carries the potential for micro- and macronutrient deficits. It should be noted that vegans often have better socioeconomic levels, live a healthier lifestyle with more physical exercise, and tend to smoke less compared to non-vegetarians, making it difficult to isolate the effects of veganism in observational research. Existing research is often skewed by selection bias, which is when the study sample is chosen based on prior eating patterns and such studies are often recruited in environments with a high level of health awareness.
