I hate that that’s the case.

I’ve been trying to lose weight, so I chopped off my leg just below the knee. I’m several pounds down, and I didn’t have to stop eating even a calorie. It’s amazing.

The only issue is that now I don’t have a leg and exercise may be difficult….

Yeah but that's FUTURE you's problem, not current you, so it's totally fine!

And you’re still alive right? /s. Akin to the people who said Musk’s firing of twitter employees was a genius move because the site was “still running” after all that.

Yup! And anyone can cauterize a wound, so you don't even need the extra expense of a hospital trip!

I'm sure the other leg can make up for it, and it should be grateful for the extra work.

Just sell the body to some other rube and move into a new one that still has both legs. It's easy. What are you, poor?
