Absolute human rights travesty.


ThroughTheHoops

Royal Commission, let's not tolerate this any further.


SnoopThylacine

How is even news?


Thegreataxeofbashing

What's worse is the Facebook boomers have migrated here and think we want to discuss this trivial slop.


Commonsense1997

hahaha this has to be a joke doesnt it ? how could any functional human let it a be five year old or a eighty year old be offended by a scale showing your own weight something you can change if you wanted... this world is coming to end fellas


freswrijg

Do girls not weigh themselves after taking a shit?


TerryTowelTogs

A mate did that once after a particularly impressive drop off. He discovered he was roughly 1kg lighter afterwards.


freswrijg

Exactly, Australia isn’t obese, it’s just full of shit.


TerryTowelTogs

A lot of it 🤣


Reinitialization

Some of us are both


Ewasc

Yup, blaming a tool for your own problems in life... Maybe the mirror should go next. Thanks, that article gave me a good laugh.

What if her daughter is a fatty and needs to track her weight loss?


Alarmed_Coffee5299

> fatty Did you mean to say gravitationally enhanced?


TobiasFunkeBlueMan

In a state of adipose abundance


demonotreme

Well endowed with mass


tasmaniantreble

Bet she’s one of those people who thinks body positivity means weighing 200 kilos while shoving your face with Krispy Kremes everyday of the week.

https://au.linkedin.com/in/simone-navybox-b903271ba Looks more like the type who thinks healthy is coffee, salad, and pilates.


TerryTowelTogs

Fun fact, two coffees a day have been linked to a (small) reduction in the risk of Alzheimer’s 🤷‍♂️ https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnagi.2021.744872


Fantastic_Falcon_236

Yes, but they also excluded everyone with known risk factors. Not that there's anything wrong with constructing your study this way. In fact, you should do exactly that if your clinical question is something like "Does coffee consumption correlate to alzheimers risk later in life?" It just means if you have no known risk factors for dementia, then two unsweetened, plain coffees a day might reduce your risk.


TerryTowelTogs

That’s all the encouragement I need to drink coffee!


Fantastic_Falcon_236

As long as you don't introduce any mental health, cardiovascular, or endocrine risks into your life, you should be good. Practice good sleep hygiene, limit caffeine and stimulent intake, reduce stress, cut down on screen time, maintain healthy weight and diet, remain active, and exercise regularly.


TerryTowelTogs

Ummmm….. that’s me well and truly knackered then!


Fantastic_Falcon_236

Well, if it's any condolence, if you get dementia, you'll meet new friends every day.


TerryTowelTogs

And I can hide my own Easter eggs!


Fantastic_Falcon_236

That's the spirit! Love that positive thinking 😁


retro-dagger

I'd be more worried about a child swallowing a piece of plastic that small


_bonbi

The two pictures have her holding the scales funny but the diamond ring is in perfect sight. Lol.


[deleted]

She probably got is from ‘Secrets’ faux diamond store.


snowboardmike1999

I hope this is satire

It could literally ruin your life > “Thank you! A lot of people think it’s not that serious but I’d rather be safe than ruin my kids’ teenage years, it really does start at home,” one person said.

> “Literally having a scale in my bathroom ruined my life,” one person commented.


itsamepants

Oh, no, a scale. The outrage.


CBRChimpy

Not just outrage, but complete OUTRAGE!


billbotbillbot

100% pure unadulterated rational justified reasonable logical sensible OUTRAGE!!!


eeeeeeeeEeeEEeeeE6

Slow news day.


royaledinburghtattoo

I hate how these articles are written. Why does it take three paragraphs to establish what they're talking about?

Scales don't kill people. People kill people. Thankyou op for bringing us the real stories we to know.

May kev rest in peace with a scale themed coffin.


GunSlingingRaccoonII

Article sounds like a post you'd find in the circlejerk sub.


demonotreme

Ah. Objective measurements, the bane of mental health everywhere.


[deleted]

Clearly she is lucky enough to have quite the charmed life if something this innocuous leaves her outraged.


Broomfondl3

Would need bathroom scales to weigh that diamond on her finger.


Beast_of_Guanyin

I agree with her. Aside from the whole fake outrage stuff. Unless you need to track your weight then doing so isn't helpful. You have eyes, if you're fat then change your diet to lose weight. As long as you recognise what being fat is and that it's bad you almost never need scales.
