The biggest “your experiences are not universal” thing I feel is whenever anyone talks about the universality of girls planning their weddings since childhood because. Well. Not me. God bless

why the fuck is chlorhexidine mouthwash prescription-only

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

This has me googling things that will be wild to my targeted ads

Corsodyl mouthwash is probably the market leader in medicated mouthwash in the UK, containing 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate

Lemme know if you want me to post you some mouthwash I guess

Understated and very funny issue the Catholic Church faces as time goes on: modern saints aren't gonna be depicted in robes or anything like that, they're just gonna be wearing t-shirts

The contemporary fit kinda clashes with the broader church aesthetic

Secondary problem: new saints means it's easier to traffic relics, cause the Church will prioritise parts of their body, meaning if you move fast you can throw things like their smartphone on ebay for a quick buck

I don't know much about the Catholic church, but reading about this kid is kind of wild. He tragically died of Leukemia aged 15, and the reason that he's now been canonized as a saint is, on two separate occasions long after his death, the families of sick people have prayed to him for intercession, and they were miraculously healed. Fair enough, I guess. But in terms of what he was actually able to do in his short life, apart from being very religiously active, wise and discerning beyond his years, one thing I found was that he designed a couple of websites for the church, and as a result has since been dubbed the 'Saint of the Internet' and 'God's Influencer', and is often depicted with a laptop. And I know it was because of the posthumous 'miracles', but it's fun to imagine a scenario where the Pope made a teenage kid into a Saint for doing some light coding, because nobody at the Vatican was tech-savvy enough to know how to do it.

soliloquy by an immortal cave painter.

pencil, ink, and ochre on paper

[thestuffedalligator]

I used to think “soupçon” was a French word for crouton and I used it as the French word for crouton for a long time and nobody stopped me.

Soupçon actually means “suspicion” and the reason nobody called me out on this is because I would use the word to imply the idea of something sprinkled on top of something else ala croutons. If someone said, “A soupçon of homoeroticism,” I thought it meant “Someone sprinkled homoeroticism on this story like croutons on a delightful Caesar salad.”

I wrote multiple essays that used soupçon as a noun with this translation in mind and I got a degree and this haunts me.

There’s no point to this post, it’s just very important to me that you know that I can be quite stupid

Went to the soft play today and they sold neither Red Bull nor Monster, because "it was too hard to keep them in stock, we'd get them and they'd be sold next day"

I have been thinking about this for hours

[homunculus-argument]

An unlocked, unguarded door with a sign saying "NO ENTRY, DO NOT OPEN" and it opens up right to a solid brick wall and on the brick wall is a sign saying "WHAT'S YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM"

[lumsel]

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

Nobody has ever been capable of writing a scathingly harsh and well formulated satire about the perils of modern capitalism, that doesn't just get immediately one-upped by some random food service worker talking about their actual week.
