Skinny dude here, complete and utter bullshit.
Just went to google and asked the question: yes, within 5 seconds it was confirmed: I AM RIGHT AGAIN.
Google's AI picks up lies and biases from the internet.
Seriously, there’s been a lot research done on this topic: obesity leads (in many cases) to snoring. It’s a bit of an unpopular truth and rarely talked about, but there is quite some scientific research (beyond googles AI ;-)
I suppose it depends on how you define "normal". If "normal" is defined by not snoring, sure, you're right on that count. But it seems like a very subjective way to define correctness, and thus worthless.
I’m not willing to be dragged into a linguistic discussion about the principle “normal”. Too quickly one would get branded as being abnormal, which in current times is counterproductive and can even be life threatening.
You're perfectly fine with the epithet "fatso" though?
Uh…. Discussion closed.
Not even close to a true statement
So I googled it and you still sound like a smug jackass.
High BMI may increase the risk of snoring, based on other sources. Unfortunately, you have somehow just dropped age, gender and other factors.
I did stumble on this as well: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-athletes-way/202110/does-googling-perpetuate-the-dunning-kruger-effect
You leave me no other option than to downvote your comment. Discussion closed.
What discussion?
They said discussion closed, gosh!
have snored my entire life. my parents talked about it. have been skinny, rail thin fit (army), average and a bit chunky. snored through it all.
I have a deviated septum and a nose that's been broken 3 times, and a really big nose. I sleep like the dead.
I've snored all my life, I used to be skinny as hell. My brothers are huge, one snores, one doesn't. Parents are huge too, neither snore.
Statistics doesn’t work with a family of five…
