  • Why do we sometimes have an itch that isn't relieved by scratching?

    Jump

  • Semi-related, I listened to a podcast the other day that discussed sokushinbutsu where some Buddist monks would try to self-mummify themselves as a ritual to attain enlightenment. One of the steps involved Urushi tea which comes from the bark of the Urushi tree, or also known as the Japanese Varnish Tree, and the sap from this tree contains toxic and abrasive chemicals that can cause a rash similar to poison ivy. They would literally be itching on the inside and had to use mind over matter to ignore the extreme discomfort.

  • Except for the sensitive part where you can't scratch too hard. 🤤😵‍💫🤤

  • Since America's namesake Amerigo Vespucci was an immigrant, what should the United States of America be renamed to? (no wrong answers)

  • Strange that this pretty mundane conversation formed a strong memory when I can't remember what I ate for breakfast.

  • Sports was the first cassette I played so much that I wore it out. I was so happy when I found a cd of it.

  • Was Beethoven performing after hearing loss or only composing? One is more stressful than the other if you can't hear pitch properly.

  • Trumpet player Ray Anthony of the original Glenn Miller Orchestra is still alive at 103

  • You really have to be In The Mood to put up with it.

  • This was my recruiter run-in experience too. "Hey, are you stressed out?" "Yeah, I'm working in DC, obv." "Then come inside and take our free stress test." "No thanks, I just got off work and it takes me 2 hours to get home." The next day, I paid a little more attention to the building where it happened... said Scientology right there on the front. This was about 2000 when I had heard very little about them.

  • What mis-stated phrases or words do you feel still need to be corrected (online or in person) in 2025?

    Jump

  • Like I get someone tried to say leery or wary at the same time and it came out all jumbled. But then the mistake took on a terrible life of its own.

  • What's the biggest deviation from someone's religion or faith you've seen in an individual without them ceasing to be that religion or faith?

    Jump

  • If you're gonna break the rules, go all in!

  • Using weary/wary interchangeably. I am tired of people not being aware of the difference.

    Also, "decimated". The original usage is to reduce by one tenth. It didn't mean something was nearly or totally annihilated, but thanks to overuse, now it does.

  • That would really fuck your shit up, I imagine

  • What item(s) that you currently own do you expect to be using for the rest of your life given that you don't break or lose it?

    Jump

  • I also have a Canon 2000 body that I haven't been able to bring myself to part with despite shooting digital for 16 years. My lenses for it all fit my 70D (which feels bizarre to realize it's getting long in the tooth as well).

  • +1 cast iron crew, I have my mother's pans, which were her grandmother's. They had a little rough patch when mom went through some shit, and I later had to reseason them but they are 👨‍🍳🤌💋 now.

    Other lifetime items would be my piano, Singer sewing machines, china (I have like 4 passed down collections, lol), and probably most of my hand tools.

  • How to handle follow up questions on posts?

    Jump

  • I sort by new so editing your post won't affect my feed. But in general I respond directly to comments, unless a question is asked multiple times or shines a light on something I left out, then I'll edit the main body of the post.

    I don't know if there is "protocol". I just do what makes sense to me and not stress about formalities.

  • What is a “qwar”?

    Jump

  • There's several entries for definitions. One is "scandalous asshole". I've never come across this term. And I'm getting the impression that someone who would use the term qwar is in fact themselves a qwar.

  • Do you think increasing ADHD diagnosis are due to better detection or "tiktok"?
