This has nothing to do with creating textures. It’s a texture compression algorithm.

This has nothing to do with artistic creation.

You can do whatever you want. All I’m saying is that you will lose weight if your calorie intake from all sources is less than your calorie output from all sources.

I didn’t say just mass was conserved. I said that mass and energy, when taken together, are conserved. Mass is just another form of energy.

I assure you, ci/co is not a “spherical cow”. Every single joule of energy is accounted for.

Huh? No I didn’t, it’s all accounted for.

Unused energy is stored, or passed out as waste (literally calories down the toilet).

With every diet, named or not, the weight loss aspect always comes from “calories in vs calories out”.

Some of them, like keto, change the way the body accesses the calories in food, but the math still holds. If your body can’t access the calories in what you eat, they literally become “calories out” when you go to the bathroom later.

Other diets help with mentally being able to track calories better, or to just help you deal with how hard it is to eat fewer calories.

But no matter what, conservation of mass and energy always applies.

The number of people that don’t believe that taking in fewer calories than you put out will cause you to lose weight still astounds me. Your body isn’t some magic device that doesn’t have to obey the laws of physics.

The good news is that once you catch it naturally, you can never catch it again! Can a vaccine do that?

If Juggalo makeup isn’t your thing, going Sith would probably work just as well.

Solving those problems is not part of science’s purview.

That’s less efficient time-wise though, since it takes significantly longer to walk the same distance compared to riding.

Ie, riding 2 hours burns FAR more calories than walking for 2 hours.
