Remember grains and cereals were considered the most healthy foods and were the base of the food pyramid? Well now gluten is the new enemy.

Grains and cereals were considered the base of the food pyramid because they provide a substantial amount of calories and nutrients while providing a lot of bulk sensation. They've never been considered the most healthy foods: that's what vegetables are. They're just the most reasonable production cost wise and hence it makes the most sense to recommend them to fill the bulk of one's diet. As for "gluten is the new enemy", that's only as true as "peanuts are the old enemy". Ie, a minority of people are effected and it's now a fad

But how am I supposed to enjoy cereal?

Most cereal is great for marshmallow squares! :)

As for the poll, it's not really answerable. It's like asking if peanuts or gluten are unhealthy. The supposed healthy reasons for milk aren't particularly compelling--vegetables almost always are better in that area. Some of the possible ecological ones are questionable--as fresh water supplies are a serious concern for the future. Taste and tradition are the big reasons, and it's hard to argue against it because it's not like we've really moved to the point that people will willing eat a few foods no matter how much we know it's enough to fulfill their dietary needs.

Then again, most people (me included) don't really eat that healthy because, in part, we don't plan to live forever and think the quality of life is at least as important as the quantity of life.

If you drink milk like water, then yeah, it's bad for you, but the same is true for ANY sugary beverage. Doesn't matter if it's whole or skim. It's one of the ways people end up consuming way more calories than they need.
Just drink water normally, and only drink other beverages (including milk (including what you put on your cereal)) as an occasional treat and you'll be fine ;)

Chocolate milk IS bad for you if it's prepackaged. If you get milk and add the cocoa or choco, then it's fine, but prepackaged choco milk is literally "expired" milk sent back from stores, then they add choco to make it last longer and repackage as choco milk.

So, why is it bad again? Just because some government says it is?

South Korean Government issued a warning of "fan death" which stated that leaving the fan on in an a closed room can kill you.
It is a commonly believed superstition in korea but lacks any concrete evidence or scientific explanation.

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
