        I legit used to work with a lady who would do that. Her dad trolled her with an onion he told her was a weird apple as a kid. She loved it and just kept eating them. She was an interesting individual. In the best way.

        Btw the skin has the most testo boost

        This is misinformation.

        Everyone knows that you get the biggest boost to testosterone by leaving the onions until they start to degrade; yes, this is the point when the chemicals that make you cry are strongest, but if you can hold back the tears then you get +50 testosterone.

          This is disinformation. Everyone knows that you get the highest boost +100 of testosterone if you insert the raw onions in your ass daily. It’s equivalent to squatting 300 lbs.

        I heard there was a study that said you have to rub hot chilli’s on the outside of the skin first to make it convert the T into something the body can uptake.

        Are you allergic to alliums? Or just doesn’t sit well? I think raw onions might not be good for me, so I’m just wondering…

          No idea never heard of that allergy, they just feel weird on my stomach like I want to burp them up or something. They also leave a lingering taste in my toungue.

    Except, A lot of people eat raw onions. On salads and sandwiches. Sometime I caramelize some onions and put them on a sandwich along with raw onions. I guess they cancel out when I do that ;)

      And why wouldn’t you. I tend to not bite into the whole thing but suffer from occasional urges to do so.

      Still remember that maybe 10 years ago on our way to Romania two grandpa’s in a restaurant in Hajdúnánás ordered some huge chives to dip in salt with their beers.

      I ordered the same 10 minutes after and both gave me a drinking salute. Still eat it in summer, amazing healthy snack.

          You’re welcome to disagree. But if you read Paradise Lost or do a little critical analysis and compare the themes of “The serpent in the Garden” with stories like Prometheus (and other fallen angel motifs), it’s pretty easy to see Lucifer/Satan as a sympathetic character, IMHO.

          But then I’ll always tend to lean toward the side advocating for more knowledge over the side advocating for limiting knowledge.

            It was a mediocre joke.
            OP posted here something that was originally on r/fit.
            Another commenter suggested they cross-post somewhere else.
            I just suggested that if you have a post about fit, when you cross-post it it becomes about cross-fit.
            You didn’t miss anything interesting ;)

      Raw red onion is amazing in sandwiches, and I’ve eaten chopped white onion on hot dogs, and that’s pretty good, too. Just straight-uo eating an onion by itself? No.

          No said suffering want good. Lots of people like things that cause mild to moderate discomfort, but watching someone do something they dislike for an invalid reason seems to be the context. Lots of people like raw onion, but the consensus seems to be that few people would enjoy sitting there and simply eating an entire raw onion.

          You don’t seem to understand the meaning of the word “literally.” This post figuratively said so.

                Fourth party here: definitions are descriptive not prescriptive and vary by common usage. Due to current common usage, literally means both literally and figuratively, with the original definition slowly losing ground. So no one is correct.

                  True, but if you wanted to articulate the concept formerly known as “Literally”, how would you do it? I just woke up, and my brain hasn’t booted all the way to desktop yet, but I can’t immediately think of another word to fill the niche.

                  But is it a figurative burying or a meta-literal one? I mean if you really think about things entomologically and we pick apart the Latin root words of “bury” and “dogpile” we might just find that the meaning of lemmy dogpile changes completely depending on context, literally figuratively.

                  Language is fucked. We really need telepathically beaming abstract concepts directly into brain matter so I don’t have to crawl through linguist brainrot reply chains.

    Why would someone care about their testosterone levels? If it’s causing a problem shouldn’t you are a doctor. If it’s not then there is no problem in the first place.

      Because an entire generation of online grigters convinced people that “big testo good, small testo bad”. The same people who think baldness is a sign of low testoteron or that thin men have low t.

      Can’t say for much, but I do know testosterone is a drug (aka steroids) people willingly take to pursue a super muscular body type. Wouldn’t be surprised if people tried alternatives to get the same effect, especially since onions are technically “natty” (natural)

      There’s probably also some folklore on test outside of bodybuilding, wouldn’t be surprised if toxic influencers promoted it

          I should have specified in the context of bodybuilding. People naturally have testosterone, but when talking about bodybuilding, it’s usually about people taking it as a performance enhancing drug.
