science@lemmy.world•At least 1 in 4 former NFL players in study suffered from degenerative brain disease CTEEnglish
23·9 days agoI hated seeing it in high school, watching members of the team just sort of…melt before my eyes during my time in high school.
No fucking idea about the pain! Human bodies suck and are weeeeiiiiiird!
Peanut butter is delicious but it’s basically the neutron star of food calories! Makes me sad.
It was, we shall say, unpleasant! I was taking a nap back in 2019, and I suddenly wake up to spitting out shards. Go to my main dentist, she says “Yeah, you’ll have to see our surgeon”. Which takes a month. I see the surgeon. 5 minutes at most “Yeah we can’t do that shit here, here’s a referral.” A week later, go in. "Yeah, we’ll surgery you, probably late January. Maybe late February.
But what about the sharp pointy bits in my mouth? They got those rounded off so they wouldn’t cut my mouth (the tooth wasn’t fully still in my jaw, it had a tiny part through the gum).
What about pain? IDK. Didn’t hurt, shockingly like that. For the surgery itself they only gave me the big ibuprofen after insinuating I was a druggy, then felt bad when I explained I just wanted the big ibuprofen cause taking a handful of small ones makes my stomach sick.
I could make that side of my jaw click which turns out. Jaws should not do that.
One of mine came in sideways like that. Shattered in my jaw eventually. Had it removed right before everything closed down from covid.
I take photos of the insects, send them to my bird scientist friend, and she tells me if they are beneficial bugs or invasive or bad for the tomatoes. Only if they’re invasive or specifically bad for tomatoes do I squish.

memes@lemmy.world•Packaging the best fucking cookies in sewing kit containers has to be the smartest business decision ever.
3·1 month agoThe union sometimes gives out food packages to random members, and we got the big package one year. A small version of this was in there and I was delighted!
And when we were done it immediately appeared in my sewing room like magic!
I have faint memories of the theme song and I know I haven’t watched the show. It might be a mind virus.
Hook and loop fastener or something long and unwieldy

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•I actually like New Jersey [Rae The Doe Comic]
1·1 month agoYep, New Jersey is hell! The worst! No reason to visit at all!
They’re all gone?
Good, all the salt water taffy is mine now!!
My parents would put a bitterant on me and my twins thumbs to stop thumb sucking
Instead we just started liking bitter flavors a lot
The baking chocolate was not safe from child me!
Eggs in America must be refrigerated and are sold in the cold section of the stores.

memes@lemmy.world•And then never using consumables, because what if you need them later?
2·2 months agoI loved that about Recettear, could sell food I found in a dungeon for god knows how long, and even for huge prices if things were marked up! Bad grain harvest this year? But some century old bread for like 200!!
Humans were mean but books were not. I never thought it would get me far, that was my parents very misguided assumptions.
My mother wanted two, got two at once, went “DONE NOW” and it was for the best.
I full on get vomitty if I get too hot. Give me winter. Give me cold.
I wear one everywhere, but I’m a woman so I’m more treated as “aww silly girl” sort of thing.

Science@mander.xyz•A world with a toad hiding in your garage is richer than one without
2·2 months agoUnfortunately my brain was consumed entirely by “must get outside” so I didn’t take a picture! Imagine a frog like creature a not larger than a quarter?
How big were the half dollars. That maybe?

Science@mander.xyz•A world with a toad hiding in your garage is richer than one without
1·2 months agoLast night a…toad, or maybe a frog, hopped onto my bed.
I was laying down facing the edge of the bed and wall, without my glasses on, reading the phone.
The bed them shakes a bit and I hear a tiny thump.
But the cat can’t be in here, the door is closed. I look around. There is now a lump near the very top edge of the bed.
A large bug???
No, a fucking frog like thing! A shock! They don’t come inside.
With a solo cup and a piece of paper he was put outside near my tomato plants.



Good! Maybe they’ll actually get help instead of my childhood of being dismissed and ignored and told to stop being weird and shit!
