translated: you get to fleece the next person who wants to own a house in an utterly fucked housing market

because they’re parasites

it’s weird how presumably neurotypical people complain about paper straws feeling weird, but my autistic ass couldn’t give less of a shit about their texture.

do you chew on them, or what?

you know what, it’d be real neat if skeletons were largely assumed to be good because they’re a common result of evil zombies being bathed in purifying divine fire.

A vile necromancer raises your corpse, enslaving you against your will and forcing you to do horrible things (probably murdering your family and shit).
Then a paladin comes along and fucking nukes the flesh off your bones, freeing you from your torment and giving you a second lease of life. Hell yeah you’d join their church.

“forcing doctors to write clearly legible notes will kill people” is probably my favourite take this month

here’s a version made by a human bean (me) using software that is at least mostly not ruining the world (gimp)

at least hornets are visually close to spiders, both generally being the same sizes and having narrow waists

yeah, where else would it go when you’re in cold water?

It’s like, all stores that sell household devices. Biltema, jula, ICA, Clas Ohlsson, presumably IKEA but the nearest IKEA to me is more than an hour away so it basically doesn’t exist.

I doubt they’d distribute to the US just because it’d be a very strange thing for them to do, i’d imagine you can get basically the same things direct from china anyways.

Ohno Itchy sounds like it might explain the declining birthrate

We have that here in sweden at least, and unsurprisingly it seems to sell quite well. And of course since it’s so hilariously cheap for them to produce it’s not like they have to sell many to make profit.

Frankly a lot of the time they somehow manage to keep the quality high enough that with the price they’re sold for it kinda feels too good, like i think these things might well last the rest of my life, why are they selling things i won’t have to buy again??

this is why you by cheapo (but still not obviously dogshit quality) stuff from a big box store or whatever the fuck it’s called in english. Stuff like Biltema here in sweden.

Adding online connectivity and whatnot would make it too expensive, and since keeping things simple also keeps cost down these things end up being quite possible to take apart and repair.

just like english it literally is french to a large degree, not quite as much but many words in daily use just had their spelling changed from french.

and, like, people just straight up stop trying. they hear that it’s harder to learn as you age so they don’t even try, and that of course confirms to everyone around them that it’s true, and so everyone keeps giving up.

it drives me up the fucking wall and the spite i hold for this phenomenon is like 70% of why i have a healthy lifestyle. I fully intend to be doing acrobatics at 60 purely so i can make people feel bad for making moronic lifestyle choices like driving 2km to buy 5 liters of alcohol for the weekend

this is like saying you can’t run after 30, yeah sure it generally becomes less trivial but if you actually try to do it and don’t do it in the worst way possible it’s absolutely doable without much struggle.

kids absorb language like a sponge, adults are like silica gel, just expose yourself to the target language often and you’ll learn it. The problem is that many people are horrendously impatient and try to brute force language learning in like 2 months by memorizing individual sentences and shit, which isn’t how our brains work…

i mean at the end of the day they all fail to meet the low low low low low bar of clearly and unhesitatingly condemning the systemic abuse within the church, much less actually doing something about it…

i love how the most dangerous one here in sweden is literally called “explode herb”, like yeah okay i think i’ll stay away from that one

you seem to be talking about supplements, not vitamins. Fruit is decidedly not expensive unless you live on the mcmurdo antarctic research station.

OP is definitely hilariously exaggerating it, but it certainly can’t hurt to make sure your body has all the nutrients it needs, and placebo shouldn’t be discounted.

In my experience and from my good but not professional knowledge, the most objectively beneficial thing is just to stay well hydrated and eat something. You need that to feel good even if you’re not sick, and when you’re fighting an infection your body is going to be diverting energy to things like fever rather than the stomach, so easy to digest is very important.

And what’s something that has lots of vitamins and minerals and easy to digest calories while also being filled with water? Fruit! (noodles are also a good option, easy to digest plus there’s broth so you get more water)
Then add on the fact that e.g. citrus just viscerally feels fresh and like it should help with illness, and you have a very convincing reason to get a bag of mandarins to snack on while you’re sick.

It won’t cure a cold overnight, but it might well bring enough relief that it’s not a full week of wanting to die, and if it has absolutely no effect then oh no you ate a bunch of healthy stuff how terrible.
