The thing that goes 'hump' in the night

Your mum uses me for my Christmas pikachus

[delphinidin4]

Watched a great talk today about web/technology accessibility, and the speaker pointed out that yes, accessibility is important for people with permanent disabilities, and we should definitely care about that. But also accessibility helps EVERYBODY, because everybody will, at some point in their lives, find themselves in situations that accessible technology can help with. Here are permanent, temporary, and situational disabilities that accessible technology can help with:

Remember that whether something is disabling or not depends on the situation, the environment, the technology, etc. We’re ALL disabled at some point. It is important to support permanently disabled people, but it is also important to remember that accessibility helps us all!

[dzamie]

I’ll just mention the irony quickly and do this:

[ID: A table of types of disability. Columns are labeled Permanent, Temporary, and Situational, in that order. Each example has an abstract human figure to represent the disability.

Touch: One Arm, Arm Injury, New Parent (holding a child in their arm)

See: Blind, Cataracts, Distracted Driver

Hear: Deaf, Ear Infection, Bartender (surrounded by noise)

Speak: Non-verbal, Laryngitis, Heavy Accent (wielding a sword, shield, and viking helmet)

End ID]

in this terrifying world you continuously have the power to offer someone else a little relief . why would you withhold that. do you remember what a little relief feels like? it feels like a lot

[testing-stormneko]

excuse me? are you suggesting i frolic directly into someone's emotional space and assume what brings them relief, potentially causing more stress? are you encouraging people to reach past their own boundaries to help, increasing net suffering if it costs more than the other gains? surely not; that would be advocating for emotional self-harm.

[jb-blunk]

this is a post about the woman who waived my late fee at the bank .

[testing-stormneko]

good for you, good for her, the wording on the initial post feels closer to blaming people who don't reach out than celebrating those who do by a large enough margin that i feel the need to hit back

I don’t wanna scare you while you’re high but I actually invited millions of people over and they’re all waiting outside right now. Hope that’s okay

[girlmostlikely]

I’ve literally gone on a deep dive of this weird phenomenon. The color just keeps getting lighter the longer she promotes this food dyed hidden valley ranch, the nutrition facts aren’t even accurate or spelled correctly, and some bottles are arriving rotten. I am just simply fascinated by this.

Bitch that’s the tubby custard machine

It looks like she liquified the Barbie Corvette Power Wheels Car

[cleoselene-deactivated20260315]

I am OBSESSED with this story:

she is charging people 20 dollars a bottle for this shit

she says she cannot describe how it tastes, yet still people are paying 20 dollars to try the mystery pink sauce

she is literally just some chick on tiktok and is sipping her dyed ranch dressing from Miami in the Hottest Summer Ever and people are opening the bottles to vivid bacterial HISSING

people are getting sick from eating this definitely not FDA-approved random pink sauce they bought from some lady on tiktok

everyone who was willing to pay 20 dollars for a bottle of mystery pepto ranch from lady on tiktok is honestly kind of asking to get sick if they ate it lol?

she says she feels like Beyonce now with her popularity

[vaspider]

Didn’t the FDA like show up at her door?

[littlemisspipebomb]

This bitch selling pepto abysmal

[unclefather]

i need someone to send me $20 so i can buy this and then sue her

[voiddemon]

I’m going to sound fucking insane but learning about this existing made me look into it, and oh my god it gets so much worse and I haven’t even done a lot of research. I just wanted to add more information onto this so you don’t have to delve down this rabbit hole.

So lets start by introducing Chef Pii, self proclaimed Pink Sauce Queen. She first showed off her pink sauce online a month ago (Late june 2022), and people were curious about what it tastes like. Because of this she sent some as part of a ‘giveaway’ to people. These people also couldn’t describe the taste. It was beyond words, apparently.

An important thing about selling food is having the nutritional information displayed somewhere. Thankfully the chef does include the nutritional information on the bottles of her sauce, as well as on her website. Allow me to show the label on her official website.

Sorry about the quality of the image, but this is the best I have. Astute readers will INSTANTLY notice the amount of servings in each bottle, and how large a serving is. According to the label (which is on her website), there are 444 servings in a single bottle of pink sauce, with each serving being a table spoon which is 14.4 grams. If you do the math on this she is claiming that each bottle weighs FOURTEEN POUNDS. A lot of other information on this label of also kinda suspicious and probably made up.

In a 50 minute long video she clarifies that this was simply a typo her graphic designer made. I guess she just couldn’t be fucked to look at her own product labels before sending her product out. This was supposed to be fixed yesterday (July 25th) but it has yet to be fixed on her website.

A quick silly side tangent, every single bit of footage shows a different color of pink. Her earlier videos made the sauce look like a vibrant pink, but as time goes on it becomes lighter and lighter. Chef Pii claims this is from the lighting but lets be honest,

this is not from fucking lighting. Also she claims that the coloring is from the Dragon fruit (which she has a ‘personal relationship’ with because it ‘cured her anxiety’) in the sauce but. Come on. Her defense of this is that people didn’t like how vibrant the sauce is so she changed it. Which is also. Come on. We know that isn’t true.

Her product contains milk and raw honey, which means it needs to be refrigerated. Everyone knows this. Except for tiktok woman. During transit the sauce is not being refrigerated. The bottle not being refrigerated properly is beyond worrying. Not just because of the ingredients going bad but because of the bacteria that must be growing inside there.

That was all the shipping companies fault that it broke open, of course. They were too rough with her bottles which were wrapped in glorified bubble wrap. I’m not joking, these bottles came in fragile, barely padded bags when they were first shipped. (Now they have a snazzy pink box.)

By the way she’s done extensive testing on the durability of her product in unfavorable conditions. Such as leaving a bottle of it outside in the miami sun for like. Five days or something. And leaving a bottle open on her kitchen counter for a day. Wow, such extensive testing for a commercial product!

To make things worse, her product has no preservatives. A regular bottle of Ranch can last roughly six months refrigerated because of the preservatives. However her bottles of watered down Danganronpa blood only last little more than a month based on the expiration date she’s shown. Apparently her ‘FDA Approved Facility’ that makes this stuff messed up the expiration date on some of the first bottles of the sauce. She realized this after it was all shipped.

She’s acknowledged the health concerns by saying that she cares since her son has to take an EpiPen to school every day. She took the time to complain about being unable to eat seafood because her son will ‘have a panic attack’ if they go out to eat it.

I think the best way to end this kinda shitty tangent is to inform you that she is a LISCENSED CHEF. She’s worked as a private chef for over four years, and has owned and ran a restaurant.

She does have two REAL, REGISTERED companies. The one that is on the bottle of pink sauce is under Flavor Crazy Inc, and was officially incorporated last year on July 1st. Her other one is presumably made for her restaurant and was made four years ago. Having a registered company isn’t that an impressive a feat, but with how long she’s had a registered company she should know the very basics of running a business. Or at the very least she should know that milk and honey spoils.

So uh yeah that ends this it’s 2am idk how coherent this is. if you buy the pink sauce email chef pii and tell her what it tastes like because she still can’t fucking describe it

The normal amount of pain is zero. I don't know what to say here. The standard abled person amount of pain without injury or significant exhaustion is so low that it will not register to most of you. It's the slightest twinge. I am so unequipped to explain this to y'all but of you experience regular pain you have chronic pain 😭

[because-reblogging-is-fun]

I thought 1 to 3 was normal. Ummm. Hm. Uh oh.

[queer-adhd]

Nope! 1 sometimes but that's it. Pain means that something is wrong, it's why it exists. Healthy people exist at 0-1 unless something causes pain.

[curiouscarnifex]

Yeah I remember going to physiotherapy after I messed up my shoulder and as we were starting the first session she asks me about my pain level. And I go "My shoulder or like the general day to day stuff? And if its worse then my base level my I'd count my base level as 0 and go up from there right?"

And the look on her face as she very patiently explained that that 0 is always no pain, the start of the scale, and is what day to day should be.

Then she went through what each level was with me to figure out where I was, apparently my day to day is arpund 4-5 when I would have said 2, with my shoulder an 8 vs. my initial guess of somewhere around 6, which was eye opening.

Apparently I'd been under reporting my pain to doctors for years because I've had arthritis my whole life and no one thought to actually explain that the normal level of pain is none or how a pain scale works.

So yeah if your above a 0 on a regular basis you've got chronic pain and honestly you're probably underestimating the amount of pain you have.

My legs typically hurt when I walk and sometimes I remember this post and consider getting that checked out

[anguishmacgyver]

ah yes. the classic "I can't sleep because it will be tomorrow in an instant and tomorrow requires things of me and I Simply Do Not Vibe With That". so I'll go through said tomorrow on 2 hours of sleep. very smart and once again no lessons will be learned

[doubleca5t]

the thing that strikes me about this latest wave of anti-trans hate and legislation in the U.S. is that it feels like it's *kind of* about trans people but really about a fear fundamental to all conservatives that a day will one day come when they will no longer be able to completely control their children

[doubleca5t]

american conservatism is a death cult. trump made this incredibly obvious but it's been trending that way for a while. it is spiteful, bigoted, cruel, morally bankrupt, and all evidence in support of it has either been fabricated, forged, deceptively edited, or disproven. being conservative goes against a fundamental human desire to be kind to those around you and I think on some level conservatives know this, and thus, they know that the only reason children would subscribe to these values is if they are indoctrinated into them with cult-like single-mindedness

Conservatives have been pushing for homeschooling for decades, they've been raising concerns about teaching evolution in schools since the early 20th century, they've made wedge issues out of sex ed, history textbooks, and now gay and trans teachers. They want a world in which children are taught to be conservative from birth and any attempt to teach them anything else is a literal crime. They want this because they know, deep down inside, that most children would not agree with them unless they were literally brainwashed into it.

[doubleca5t]

also worth pointing out that most child abuse (sexual or otherwise) takes place within a "traditional" family structure or a "traditional" religious institution and I have to wonder if people who want to abuse kids have a fundamental investment in preserving strict hierarchies in which adult men have unquestioned authority over children

Like I'm not saying *every* conservative is like this but perhpas their emphasis on "groomers" is a wee bit of projection

Anyway abolish the family trans rights are human rights institute fully automated luxury gay space communism now

[silvermoon424]

This tweet sums it up pretty well:

This is another big reason why most conservatives bitch about higher education; a lot of younger people (myself included) undo their conservative upbringing brainwashing after being exposed to new ideas, meeting new and diverse people, and getting a higher-quality education when they attend college. 

This is also, of course, why conservative lawmakers constantly seek to undermine public education and make it shittier so the kids who go through it are more ignorant. An educated and well-informed populace is the GOP’s worst nightmare.

[ashacrone]

As someone who is went through that deconstruction at university- it really is their worst nightmare because a lot of the time kids go to school and suddenly the world doesn’t make sense anymore because you’re exposed to all these new ideas. A lot will try and bury themselves harder, but once those seeds are planted, nothing is the same again and it is terrifying.

But when you have all these ‘christian universities’ offering to keep their kids ‘safe’ after they were home schooled and cut off from the world, well. They can manage to keep the kids controlled for longer.

What is the history of England ?

In the beginning, there were the British Isles. These were the home of the Celtic people, who liked to draw fancy knots and build large stone circles. They were immediately killed off by the Romans for these dangerous and blasphemous acts. The Romans then built a giant wall to keep the most brutal survivors from invading their settlements. These dangerous and bizarre northerners would in time become known as the Scottish.

In 1066, a man named Norman invaded and killed off all the remaining Romans and Celts because they did not speak French. The survivors were taught French, and began to fight each other over who was more French. These wars included the Hundred Years War, which lasted 116 years; the War of the Roses, in which no actual roses fought; and the English Civil War, in which the people literally fought about whether their government should be run by people calling themselves “The Rump.”

England during this time also had well over 30 different Kings and Queens, who all together had well under 5 different names. There was also Oliver Cromwell, who banned Christmas because it wasn’t Christian enough for him. These centuries also saw the creation of the Magna Carta, which was by far the biggest Carta.

Shakespeare happened.

England then began to colonize the world. For 300 years, the English invaded literally every single other country they could find. They only missed like five. They invaded so many that their empire sprawled across the globe and they could claim that “The Sun Never Set On The British Empire,” which was inaccurate because the sun set every night on each portion, meaning the sun was in fact always setting on the British Empire.

In time, the empire grew obsolete and England joined together with its feisty brother Ireland (or at least his shoulder), its peaceful sister Wales, and its crazy uncle Scotland that nobody liked to visit or talk about. Together they became known as the UK, which in turn joined the EU, ushering in a new era of two letter abbreviations that reigned over Europe, past England’s brutal defeat of Germany, England’s other brutal defeat of Germany, and the withdrawal of England from the EU, which was for some reason lamented by Germany.

Also Harry Potter happened.

Hickam’s dictum is a counterargument to the use of Occam’s razor in the medical profession.[1] While Occam’s razor suggests that the simplest explanation is the most likely, implying in medicine that diagnosticians should assume a single cause for multiple symptoms, one form of Hickam’s dictum states: “A man can have as many diseases as he damn well pleases.”

Where did the whopping huge meteor come down? I assume if there are core samples, we know where it was, and maybe there are remnants of it?

Chicxulub Puerto, Yucatan, Mexico, fucking exactly

[bunjywunjy]

also the people of Chicxulub Puerto are fully aware of this, and even created a memorial for all of dinosaurkind on their own dime!

and personally, I think this single heartfelt block of concrete is more fitting than any number of sleek expensive monoliths in the world’s best museums.

Y'know, some people do have a strong crying response to stress, and they might cry (even against their own will) when faced with an upsetting situation and that doesnt mean they are "gaslighting" or "manipulating" you.

There are people who use crying as a manipulation tactic? Absolutely. But that doesn't mean that every person that cries during a heated argument is trying to get under your skin. They have their own emotions and issues, and frankly, not everything other people do is a personal attack on you.

[chiribomb-deactivated20220820]

Jfc I am not surprised OP got shitty responses, but like, if your reaction to this post is to immediately look for ways in which you can misinterpret and misapply it in order to be self-righteous on the internet, then I have some terrible news for you about who is actually engaging in incredibly manipulative and dishonest behaviour here. Hint: it’s not OP and it’s not people who cry easily.
