Grrl Power #1452 – Meat ugly
Honestly if Sydney had gotten an 11-alarm Indian dish like atomic lamb korma, her body might not have even noticed the meat. I like a little spice when I get Indian, or a little heat on my Thai Fried Rice or Pad See Ew, but honestly, it’s easy to cross a point where the heat gets to the point where you can’t really tell what you’re eating. Is it lamb korma or chicken korma? There’s usually a slight texture difference, but if the flavor is so overwhelming, that gets to be the only difference.
I’m sure there are tales of de-vegetarianizing out there. It’s probably best if done gradually. Sydney will have it relatively easy since fish and eggs and cheese are still a part of her diet. I imagine a vegan diving straight into a juicy burger would experience maximum distress. I’ve been on various diets in my life, including some very low fat ones, and I can tell you, 4-6 weeks of low fat followed by a cheat day starting with a big plate of bacon leads to… well, not-half-measures on the toilet.
Personally my favorite “diet” was busting my ass in the gym during my thirties, but I’ve fucked up my shoulders badly enough now that I can’t do about half the exercises I used to. I miss military press. :/
Finally, here we go! I took the suggestion that I just use an existing panel for a starting point, thinking it would save time… I guess it technically did, but a 5 character vote incentive just isn’t the way to go.
Patreon, of course, has actual topless version.
Double res version will be posted over at Patreon. Feel free to contribute as much as you like.
Sidney made a mis-steak playing a high steak game.
You really gonna steak it all on these puns?
That’s OK, if it doesn’t work out, it’ll be a PRIME opportunity for some good RIBbing…
Steak puns are a rare medium, but this one was well done.
How about Cloneibalism? You clone some of your own organs, then eat them.
‘You eat one lousy foot and they call you a cannibal. What a world!’
I remember Mt. Diablo.
In a comic book universe, that can have some repercussions. Others might do it, but Sidney is too savvy to even attempt that.
Love how the orb tracks are rotating.
Hearing you with the shoulder. I slipped on a wet walkway several months ago while dressed for a funeral and carrying a plate of food for the family of the deceased. Through some amazing body contortions I managed to both save the food and escape with only a small spot of mud on my slacks. Fortunately for everyone else, it happened in front of a doorbell camera so everyone got to laugh at me “break dancing”. Unfortunately for me, I sprained my left wrist and did something to my right shoulder during the process. Also unfortunately I’m too old and both are taking forever to heal. Military press is a no-go right now.
“Love how the orb tracks are rotating.” And still not keeping up.
Wore down my rotator cuffs carrying heavy multi-buy offers in handled bags. I’m a couple of days into a fibre and colour free diet for the week. My goodness that’s a shock to the system.
Sorry Dave, but your body will definitely notice when you make a radical change in diet, no matter what your mouth notices. It is, of course, different for everyone.
Gut bacteria revolting is a thing. To be fair though, the head Sydney is about to demolish has endured far more potent emissions fromher Grakz binge in #686
Heck it doesn’t even have to be due to gut bacteria not cooperating. If your body isn’t properly regulating bile production, changes in diet composition can lead one to becoming, ahem, a “Salad Shooter”.
Sydney is missing enzymes to process meat. Her stomach simply can’t process meat. No amount of spices will fix this. She needs an enzymes transfusion. Hopefully, space meds can do this in a less gross way that what we can do now on Earth.
Or she uses the method human babies use and kisses Frix.
The gut flora used to process all kinds of things including meat is inherited from parents through bodily contact.
I’m assuming here human bodies can maintain woof gut flora otherwise she might need assistance from Dabbler(she has sufficient access to human gut flora) or medical help.
Maybe she got a little of Maxima’s mercury.
When I was at college, a bunch of us went out for pizza. I’d ordered one with chili on it – which, to my mind, meant that there were bits of chili sprinkled on the top.
Nope.
Whole strips of fresh chili, to the extent the pizza looked mostly green.
I don’t mind a bit of spice, but I much prefer flavour. As it was, I was gagging because I couldn’t get the damn thing down my neck.
What I’m saying is that Sydney has essentially duplicated my mad dash to the toilet…
There is just something hilarious about a huge guy daintily holding a small cup.
Ah shame she went for the steak. Not saying it’s hot or good, but my mudbug boil has enough heat and flavor to make an East Tejas bayou living boy cry from joy and because the steam hits harder than weapons grade pepper spray. (Free hint, never stick ones face into the steam coming from the pot. Seriously DON’T!)
Thirty-something is the magical age. You mostly have your stuff together, like basics of getting by on your own should no longer be a mystery and be on some sort of career path, but unless you made horrible life-style decisions or got cursed by the genetics fairy your body is able to do everything you could want it to do.
The one way I got blessed by the genetics fairy was I seem to be aging slower than most people, and was able to stretch that magical time out into my 40’s.
Now…. Now there’s no chance I’d be able to do incline press with so much weight it’s scary or sport a six-pack without chemical assistance, and I rather like my kidneys and liver more than I’d like bulging biceps.
Hmmm, yes, the consequences of actions.
Any radical change in diet like this should be accompanied by probiotics appropriate for that meal. That is not necessarily sufficient, as probiotics work with enzymes, but it’s certainly helpful to only have *some* of the GI problems. I feel like this is probably something that Frix should have known about, but maybe he suggested and Sydney rejected his advice and charged straight ahead because Sydney.
Actual GI problems generally do not happen that fast, although they do tend to happen quicker for more pure experiences. The only time I can recall when I’ve had them happen while I was still eating was bacterial rather than due to my lack of enzymes and appropriate gut bacteria.
Over the last few days, I have been seeing AI-generated YouTube videos showing The Boys’ Homelander getting curb-stomped by various high-tier superheroes, such as She-Hulk, Ghost Rider, Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel), Shazam (the other Captain Marvel), Superman, and Supergirl. That got me thinking about how an encounter between ArcSwat and the Seven would go. In general, we have a highly organized team that trains together, respects and trusts each other, that communicates, and coordinates with a mission to police people with extraordinary abilities, easily takes down and arrests a bunch of bullies that hate each other, that have never faced real opposition, and that tend to try to just overwhelm any opposition with sheer power.
Arc-Swat would get deputized by the FBI of the The Boys world, get 7 arrest warrants and related court documents and serve them at Vought offices in New York. The Seven try to intimidate Archon and fail. A series of short fights ended with the Seven arrested and additionally charged with Resisting Arrest. The previously unstoppable are finally stopped and are off to the jail that had already been prepared for them.
