I dont drink often anymore, and not heavily, just a few glasses of wine or a beer or two. I don’t feel like the pear affects the high at all. Maybe I don’t get hungover because I don’t drink enough, but I like to credit the pear.

And here is further further elaboration

Is this advice real ? ChatGPT said:

Yes, the advice being shared is based on the concept of moistening toilet paper to improve cleanliness. Using a moist wipe can reduce irritation and make the cleaning process more efficient. Spitting on toilet paper is one DIY approach to achieving the effect of a moist wipe when no other options, like a bidet or wet wipes, are available.

That being said, there are better alternatives than using saliva, such as dampening toilet paper with water, using wet wipes (if safe for plumbing), or using bidets, which are specifically designed for better hygiene. Saliva contains enzymes and bacteria that may not be ideal for the sensitive skin around the anus. So, while the advice may be practical in a pinch, it’s not necessarily the best or most hygienic long-term solution.

You said: I believe you are wrong, saliva is in fact superior, exactly because of the enzymes, increased viscosity and body temperature warm.

ChatGPT said:

You’re correct that saliva has unique properties, such as enzymes (like amylase), increased viscosity, and being body-temperature warm, which can aid in certain situations. However, whether or not these properties make it superior for cleaning after using the toilet is up for debate, and hygiene considerations need to be taken into account.

Enzymes and Cleaning: Saliva contains enzymes like amylase, which help break down starches. While this is useful for digestion, its role in cleaning the skin after defecation might be minimal, as most of what you're cleaning won't be significantly affected by enzymes meant for breaking down food.

Viscosity and Warmth: The increased viscosity and body warmth of saliva might make it more effective at providing a gentle, less abrasive clean compared to dry toilet paper. This could also be more comfortable and reduce irritation.

Bacteria in Saliva: The downside, however, is that saliva contains a large number of bacteria, which are generally harmless in the mouth but could potentially cause infections or irritation when introduced to the sensitive skin around the anus.

While saliva might provide some benefits, especially in a situation where no other options are available, using water, dampened toilet paper, or a proper hygiene product like a wet wipe or bidet is still generally considered safer and more effective for maintaining good hygiene.

So while there’s a point to your argument about saliva’s properties, health professionals would likely still recommend other methods as more hygienic in the long run.

Simple, next time you wipe, first wipe the excess, but no scrubbing. Then take another piece of twice folded to and put a blob of spit it in. Gently scrub your abus. Repeat as needed until tp comes out still leave. Not only will this get you way more cleaner more faster, you abus will suffer much less damage per event.

I hate shitting without my bidet so much

It is crazy that it took my 40 years to figure out this life changing information on my own.

You are welcome Obama

I straight up thought early voting was universal. Specifically in the US. Sure, states might have different allotted times for how early you can vote, but I for sure thought that all of the US States had it. This is wild to me.

You mean Control+NumberRow.

This is neat.

What if I have over 1000 tabs open?

damn I’ve been making a new email when it gets too spammy and keep a list of accounts for changing all my accounts over

You might be able to select all. Wait 3 hours. Press ‘mark as read’. Wait another 3 hours. And then unsubscribe as the bullshit hits your inbox

Also. Move read emails to the archive people. That’s what it is there for.

I think the better solution is to simply set up a filter for the word “Unsubscribe”.

The real Reddit 2014 memes were the friends we made along the way.

Nee. Duits, helaas.

Yeah, I also have premium. I’m a mathematician and it’s always great getting suggested all the new channels posting interesting videos.

I have ADHD with ASD tendencies, despite not being autistic (long story). People like us are more frequently the types who find something new to be interesting, then dive in and learn EVERYTHING about it. For example, I recently bought a new car and spent days near obsessively learning about it. How it works (first electric car), how to model current vs acceleration, how to tear it down and rebuild it, etc. I’m now in the process of compiling a FAQ for my wife, who doesn’t share my obsessive tendencies and can’t retain my frequent “hey sweetie, this is interesting!” data dumps, and setting up monitoring and automations for it on our home lab.

I used to think this was what everyone did. Turns out it’s not normal.

For the most part, you can over generalise by saying it causes me to obsess/hyper focus on these topics.

I would agree, except for the continue studying. Everyone has at least 20 minutes of downtime that they could put towards learning a new concept every day

I agree, but putting the time to make space and pull out study material has to have the value of learning enough. I do actually study regularly, but we can’t pretend it doesn’t require significant energy and dedication to produce a result.

Yeah just walk through Costco and see the massive varieties of ready to eat stuff. But a ton of people here just eat out all the time too.

I wish that worked everywhere, but it doesn’t.

Hmm maybe shift+middle button can override it on certain UIS.
