  Group one metals like sodium are spicy when they touch water. The further down the column you go, the more explosive it can be.

  Yeah, there’s a reason that story lives rent free in my head 30 years later lol. Totally horrific, and also totally something I would do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Satan's little helper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was in elementary school, one of my classmates went to the hospital because of those things. She was picking them out of her dog’s fur and putting them in a cup.

  Unfortunately, her cup of water was right next to it, and she swallowed a bunch of these bastards instead of a nice sip of water.

  It’s like “I don’t want to marry this person, but they’re good enough for now”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do any "thickening" products actually work to prevent hair loss/thinning?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say it was safe! Just safer than minoxidil :) The oil is usually meant to be used as a pre-wash treatment, so it’s not going to sit on your head all day like minoxidil, further reducing the risk of contact with pets.

  It’s also much safer to use around cats than topical minoxidil is!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you ever had to start consuming low fat dairy and cheese due to high cholesterol, did your ldl cholesterol levels decrease?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My triglycerides fell a little over 50 points! Almost to a healthy level now.

  My cholesterol total fell a little over 20 points, with small drops in hdl and ldl.

  That’s about four months of abstaining from alcohol with no change from my normal “vegan” diet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you ever had to start consuming low fat dairy and cheese due to high cholesterol, did your ldl cholesterol levels decrease?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I went vegan and had no change in my cholesterol. I have never had a diet that was high in fat, so that didn’t surprise me. My doctor told me I need to give up alcohol for any change to occur. There’s definitely a genetic component as well, my dad and his dad seriously struggled with their cholesterol levels.

  I had to abstain from alcohol over the summer because I started a medication that is hard on the liver, and I just had a lipid panel today. So I’ll find out early next week if my doctor was right lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ant smell⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The weirdest thing happened when I was recovering from covid. I couldn’t really taste much, but cilantro suddenly had a perfume-like scent. It eventually went back to normal after I recovered, but I definitely have a healthy level of sympathy for people who taste soapy cilantro now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people around me tend to increase their responsibility load (i.e. have children, become a manager, do charity, etc.) while I (30M) try to avoid it as much as I can?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. I think you just resolved some minor trauma for me. My mother used to berate (and sometimes beat) me for “never finishing things”, as in I’d be really interested in something and then lost interest. It drove her up the wall, but since I was a kid all I heard was “stop being interested in everything”.

  I got dx’d with ADHD at 35. Slowly, and thanks to comments like yours, I’m making sense of my brain and learning to be kind to myself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨to those of you wearing leggings, are the translucent bits fashion or function?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It takes more time to cut and sew mesh panels into the leggings. Time and more labor. That could be a reason they’re more expensive
