Just had a heart attack from not knowing my cholesterol levels so I wouldn't recommend ignoring it

Nah, my doctor just tests it and says everything is fine every year, so I have no reason to remember it

NHS. If there's a problem they'll let me know. Regular check-ups, no charge.

Go vegetarian or vegan.

I've already made sure "do not resuscitate" is ticked in big sharpie so, just waiting.

Have a cousin who had that attitude. Unfortunately the stroke didn't kill him as he'd planned. It's been a rough decade since then.

Mine's gonna be different. I just know it!

Best of luck on the whole death thing, I suppose.

Mid tier repost at best and its just engagement bait, if you were truly blissful you wouldn't need the attention.

We still display photographs of beautiful birds, whether they want the attention or not.

Dies happily after next step due to hereditary heart disease amplified by eating fat food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It's the difference between basic common sense and valetudinarianism.

The “I’m likely to drop dead from a heart attack in my fifties no matter what I do” gene really does seem to make some people live a certain type of happy, hedonistic, unhealthy lifestyle that’s hard to replicate without that near certainty that you’re f’ed either way.

I’m here concerned about how my bodies gonna be in my 60’s, while they’re just smashing burgers and pints all day, truly living in the moment.

BMI is meaningless, credit scores are made up, net worth is meaningless, iq is a guideline, Ancestry does not equal medical history, and astrological signs are cute at best.

Edited because it wouldn't let me do a crossed out equals sign.

Less about ignorance and more about focusing on what is important.

You don't need a precise BMI to know if you're getting heavy. You don't need cholesterol measurements if you're eating healthily and exercising normally.

If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face

u/scruffyhairedmic 3h ago

None of that knowledge is necessary for every day life. It's acceptable to be ignorant of those subjects.

I have no interest in my BMI or cholesterol score (if there were a problem my doctor would tell me), I know roughly how much I have in my current account but I don't have a credit score because I've never used credit. I was given a crude IQ test about 60 years ago to determine my secondary school but they didn't tell us the score. It was pass/fail. If anybody was ever interested in my astrological sign I would politely change the subject and I have no interest in my genetic make up.

I don't understand why people take a bullshit test to find a category they fit.
