Aside from the Big One (for which I’ve been meaning to make an emergency kit but keep putting off because reasons), we get really bad wildfires now on the west coast so before every summer I load up my inhaler and nasal spray, then I proceed to not go outside for 3 or 4 weeks because outside air bad. Thanks lungs. Thankfully I don’t live where the fires are normally happening, just in the vicinity. if I did, the above mentioned nonexistent emergency kit could be made fireproof and double up for preparedness.
Me too. Except it’s better than when I was a kid because now we’re all adults and can appreciate each other’s company better, but my mom still always spoils me (and my partner now) when we visit like when I was a kid so it’s twice as awesome.
Not sure if this is 100% scientifically backed but I read a bit by a dental hygienist on a forum that you shouldn’t rinse when brushing with proper toothpaste because it can help remineralize the teeth if when its not rinsed away after...
I am allergic to some types of mouthwash so I was told to use salt water but not as often as you’d use regular mouthwash (only every few days) because it’s rougher on your teeth or some such, I can’t remember the reasoning.
I’ve been on Lemmy and Mastodon for a little while but still not super active on either, and haven’t really kept up with fediverse stuff as a whole....
I agree with you about Lemmy content. Tbh it might be an unpopular opinion but I also miss the diversity of the meme shitposting on Reddit because sometimes it was nice to just scroll and look at dumb shit. Lemmy in general has more involved content, which is great and high quality, but sometimes just missing what I’m craving.
I do really appreciate how much more LGBTQ+ friendly Lemmy is though. Reddit was getting grossly transphobic and I’m not trans but I ain’t about that life.
That’s just a means to an end, convince a part of the working class they should fear the rest, let them fight it out, and continue capitalizing in peace.
I mean, what this ad should really read is “save your family thousands”. If you can afford it and have the resources, preplan your whole burial plan so your family can just grieve instead of dealing with all the admin of it.
Interesting I guess this is why my partner does this. Kind of drives me nuts though because then we’ll have something on the list for months and he keeps putting it off until I finally just go on my own to buy it because I actually need it. Obviously not for big purchases but for stuff we don’t use often like flour or jam or something.
Growing up my parents sheltered me a lot more from the financial instability we faced, his did not and he’s still stuck in survival mode even though we are past it, so we have very different spending habits.
My daughter just showed me a picture that had the words “Jay AF” written on it. I know what “AF” means, but what’s the “Jay” mean? She went to a cirque du solil show and wrote it on a pic of some shirtless guys twirling around....
This made me think of that Curb episode where Larry’s mom (I think) dies and his dad just didn’t tell him because he didn’t want to ruin his trip to New York.
LMAO how did someone watch the original commercial this is based on that’s actually cute and wholesome with a kid sister and go, “you know what this commercial needs?”
Haven’t tried the vinegar yet but I store them in an air tight container and throw a bit of paper towel in there for good measure. Lasts at least a week.
One of mine is when I finish wrapping my hair up tightly in the towel to dry after washing, I whack the towel where it’s tucked in, kind of like encouragement to stay tucked for the duration, kinda like a coach does when sending the kids onto the playing field.
When I sit down to pee, I HAVE to rub my hands together before I release the pee. I started because I was cold one day and have never been able to stop. I hate it but it makes me feel so wrong if I don’t do it. I’ve always wondered if other people do it or if they just think I just like rubbing my hands in the stall like a weirdo.
Ours is named Rachel because once a long time ago I had a dream that my bf cheated on me with someone named Rachel so now we always joke about Rachel doing things around our house when I’m not home. She’s been slacking a lot lately though, he’ll have to get a new girlfriend soon.

People who post content because it makes you angry : why do you help it spread?
Stuff like memes from people you think are wrong politically, cartoons you don’t find funny, etc etc. Why help the things you hate spread?
