Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Shivering is a great easy way to burn calories, and increase the rate you burn calories later through beige fat recruitment.

This should NOT be used to replace healthy eating or proper exercise, but shivering burns gobs of calories to produce heat, and the brown fat (located mostly in your back around neck and shoulders, used just for producing heat from fat) recruits surrounding white fat and transforms it into beige fat (basically converts normal fat into leaky heat-generating fat) to increase the heat generation, and thus calorie burn, of subsequent shivers.

Here’s some links about it, if you are interested. It may not be actionable in the summer, but if you have a basement floor you can lay on, a tub of cold water, or access to a walk in freezer, you can get a healthy shiver going any time.

This comment is the reason why they teach us how to structure essays in school. I should not have to read this far into your comment before getting any hint of what you're trying to say.
