I mean I passed but that was more out of depression than actually trying to stick to it.

Gotta take them wins when you can.

Also why is it so often the people who appear most awesome on the surface who suffer from horrible shit like that. Your memes are top notch and I hope your days will be better soon.

I’ve been through depression and that shit sucks.

I’ll just fold it under my Locktober win.

It is what it is. Thanks though <3

I’m glad that you’re doing better now buddy.

flicker,

To be fair covid sucks. I'm still exhausted all the time.

The second thing I thought was this must be a great way to plan for the next DnD session as a DM

Quit ya bitching and roll the math.

Some stand to pee. Some sit to pee. everyone sits to shit. In a mixed gender household the seat gets most use down.

OmenAtom,

Not at all what the meme is talking about

BugFinder,

The meme is making it look like seat down is presumptuous, which it is not. It has the least effort vs hygiene trade-off, since sitting to pee is much more hygienic.

OmenAtom,

The point the meme is making is that the lid should be closed. It equally derides both seat up and seat down

Kase,

I agree, and I propose a second reason: it is too easy (for my dumb self, at least) to not realize the seat is up, try to sit down, and go for an unexpected swim

monkE, in this cute fella can share *so many memes*

Really it’s just a better experience than reddit. Less shit people, more better people, good memes.

It’s a peaceful experience.

Man, yall really hate men who want to take a fun self-control challenge and maybe end an unhealthy relationship with pornography, huh?

Riderzz,

Careful now, this is Lemmy. We are only good at complaining about the system and government.

De_Narm, (edited )

It’s still a “fun self-control challenge” if you just stop watching porn for the month. Nothing wrong with that. But the masturbation part is just silly religious stuff with a dash of prostate cancer.

LemmyKnowsBest,

I’d be fascinated to see all the medical data of men who suddenly developed prostate cancer in December because they didn’t wank in November.

De_Narm, (edited )

It’s same data of men who suddenly develop lung cancer after their first month of smoking. Doesn’t mean it won’t come back and bite you in the long term.

“In all, men who averaged 4.6–7 ejaculations a week were 36% less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70 than men who ejaculated less than 2.3 times a week on average.”

- a havard article, based on an australian study.

“In all, men who averaged 4.6–7 ejaculations a week were 36% less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before the age of 70

i can confidently not masturbate for the rest of my life and still not drop below this lifetime average.

nicoweio,

Note the word averaged. Given this quote (I’m not sure if the study gets more specific), you could just wank a bit more the other months.

but with the masturbation part

Funny, because I never mentioned masturbation. I don’t think anyone except the most die-hard members of the NNN/NoFap/etc. community would argue that masturbation in itself is wrong or unhealthy. The original “goal” of the challenge was to curb pornography consumption. I think most people would agree that the spirit of NNN is a lot closer to “no porn november” than “no ejaculation november.”

BarrelAgedBoredom,

It’s called no NUT november though. Not no porn november

jbk,

Religious? No one I know is doing this because of fucking religion. It’s supposed to be a challenge, and not nutting is one.

De_Narm, (edited )

Well, yes, if you ignore the whole “masturbation = bad” thing that’s part of the movement. That equation is firmly rooted in religion.

PrivateNoob,

-14 wow. It’s totally understandable that NNN memes are becoming staler over the years, but there are a lot of people who struggle with porn consumption and I think it’s a better idea to stop masturbation for 1+ months and after transitioning over to masturbation w/o porn.

clearleaf,

It’s like talking about quitting weed around a stoner. They panic.

jbk,

Yeah I don’t get the hate on a harmless challenge, especially the downvotes here lmao, real mature

DannyMac, in Early bird
@DannyMac@lemmy.world avatar

Luckily, my state understood this and our school hours were like 8-8:30am to 3pm. Still kinda early, but way less of a kick in the teeth as states that make their kids come in at 7am and out at 2pm.

Lighttrails, in Congrats I guess

Send_me_nude_girls, in Then I'll avoid opening the app

Hold down on it and go to notification settings and turn them off.

kandoh, in toilet humour

If you don’t shut the lid before you flush it sends poopoo peee particles flying around the bathroom onto your toothbrush

June,

This is legit the reason I started putting the lid down as a kid lmao

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Mythbusters found it makes virtually no difference, and lid down can actually make particles go further due to the pressure forcing them through a smaller gap.

kandoh,

This is terrible news

liztliss,

Please look this up for yourself- these responses are sus

voidMainVoid,

Every source I could find says that closing the lid is better.

liztliss,

What episode was this? I can only find evidence of the opposite of what you’re claiming here

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

The plumbing authority link? Yeah, they leave out the part where the Mythbusters found poop everywhere when flushing with the lid closed as well.

liztliss,

Uh no, like literally any link 🤣

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Yes, I followed the ones posted. None of them say the opposite, they all leave out the results from the lidded flushes. And someone else posted a paper that showed that although lid closed produced fewer particles, they were larger, and lasted longer, so flushing lid closed was not particularly more hygienic.

liztliss,
Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s not a research article, it’s an opinion piece with no published data and no references.

here’s a real research article that found lidded flushing still produced large aerosolized droplets on flushing:

microbiologyresearch.org/…/acmi.fis2019.po0192

liztliss,

I’m not sure how this qualifies as being any better, I read this one previously and found it to be lacking in actual data information. It makes claims but literally anyone can write whatever they want on the Internet. It’s not enough data and not clear on how they actually measured or how many measurements they took

Zacryon,

Myth Busters are not a solid scientific source. I discussed the issue a bit, linking to some papers in another comment here: feddit.de/comment/5298414

Tavarin,
@Tavarin@lemmy.ca avatar

Although Mythbusters is not a peer reviewed scientific source, they do employ reasonable standards of experimentation.

And the first source you posted is particularly interesting, with similar conclusions to what I remember from Mythbusters; that lids reduce the total number of particles found, but that the particles produced from lid use last longer and are larger. So a lid closed situation can;t really be said to be more hygienic.

Unfortunately on a cursory skimming of the other articles none of them seem compare toilets with lid down to lid up, they all seem to look at lidless toilets only. Thus, they can;t really speak to the topic of lid use being more hygienic without the direct comparison.

Matriks404, in Japan is living in the future that the 1990s dreamed of.

There’s nothing wrong with having/paying by cash though.

systemglitch,

Any timeline without cash is not healthy.

propaganja,

Also they’ve been paying for stuff with their phones for years and years—on exactly what basis are they a cash society (though there’s nothing wrong with that)?

Krauerking,

Yeah actually i think a steady flow of physical currency moving hands is a great thing. And with the large amount of cheap shops and vending machines they move cash around plenty.

But also i once bought groceries while waiting for a train in japan that involved selecting everything through an app paying ahead digitally and picking it up at a special location right outside the station.

Yeah like its literally the future we dream of complete with respect and re-use of goods that still work with a massive second hand market.

propaganja,

Japan is such an anomaly. They are certain ways that don’t exist anywhere else, that would be impossible anywhere else. If Japan didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have believed it could.

Krauerking,

Yeah well you live on a small island that doesnt have much physical resources and has weird wildlife like murder lizards and glow in the dark jellyfish washing up on your beaches and see how your civilization turns out. LoL

rustyriffs, in toilet humour

Seat AND lid go down, always, no exceptions. Other than having a fundamental redesign of the entire structure, this is the only correct solution.

Seventhlevin,

I’ve always thought that toilets should be more like shower stalls.

rustyriffs,

care to elaborate?

Seventhlevin,

Nah

rustyriffs,

'aight then.
