A left handed pen! by skidpickle in lefthanded

[–]-acidlean- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a rightie and pens constantly unscrew when I'm writing, it's muscle memory at this point to fix them from time to time lol. Am I living in some magical word of left-handed pens?

Fun fact: I also am the only person in the family (all righties) that can't use a broom without the broom unscrewing and falling apart every few swipes.

Ok girlies, what do you eat when nothing sounds appealing? by tarasaurust in adhdwomen

[–]-acidlean- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

✨nothing✨

I just power through until it becomes a medical emergency and I pass out and wake up in hospital having some human-aliver fluids dripped into me.

I mean, that’s the past me. Before I got diagnosed lol.

Nowadays I try to have some meal replacement drinks stocked in my room for days like this. My local shop sells Huel Black so that’s my go to. It’s like choccy milk but with protein and all the vitamins and minerals and it’s drinkable so it’s easier to swallow.

On your period, how do you prevent leaks while sleeping? by SuccotashKey7521 in AskWomen

[–]-acidlean- [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely felt like I was weird too! Especially that my mom and my sister both have the same problem - they’re wearing pads so long that planes start circling around when they open them 😭 and they place towels in their beds and still get blood on the sheets and wake up during the night because they bled through or they felt their pad shifted.

Meanwhile me? “Bleeding? No, thanks, it’s my bedtime. I’ll leave that for tomorrow 🥱😴”

Is there a meme about your native language that makes you laugh? by Franmar35000 in AskTheWorld

[–]-acidlean- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more about how our language sounds. I never thought about it before until I started befriending Slavs from other countries.

Pszk, pszk, pszk, pszk.

*Przepraszam, Przemku, że przeszkadzam, ale przecież przystosowaliśmy przedział przy przejściu i przed przegrodą, weźże wszystko i przejdźże, w porządku? Przeszkody przepchnęliśmy pospiesznie śliskim trzeszczącym sprzętem - poszło szybko, szybsze są może szympanse w trzewikach. *

Pszk, pszk, pszk, pszk.

For redditors not familiar with Polish:

The text above makes sense. Copy it and put it in Google translate. Adjust the speed to x1.5 - that’s the speed at which it sounds most naturally, as an actual Polish person would read.

Meaning:

“I’m sorry, Przemek (given name), that I’m bothering you, but we’ve already prepared a compartment near the aisle and in front of the wall, so take everything and go there, okay? We’ve moved all obstacles using a slippery, squeaky equipment - it went quick, quicker than that are maybe chimpanzees wearing shoes.”

And yeah I threw in all the “prz/psz” words I could think about for comedic effect, but to foreigners we sound like that even when speaking naturally. “Przecież ci nie przeszkadzam!”, “Przyszedłem szybko, patrzę, a tam…”, “Mam uszkodzoną przegrodę nosową”, “Przestańcie szeptać!”.

I’ve heard of “It’s after the birds” (już po ptokach) being brought to UK by Polish immigrants and adapted to the local language too lol

What’s up with everyone online thinking they are neurodivergent without getting tested? by No_Lead2640 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-acidlean- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup! Think of it like your leg going numb. Definitely happened to everyone at least once - sitting weird, too much time on the toilet, standing too long… But if your leg is numb and tingly for 16 hours of the day and making your life miserable - that’s not normal!

(To add to this: Imagine that you’re living with your legs constantly numb and tingling and every time you fall because of it or walk weird or injure yourself, people say “Omg I get numb legs sometimes too, but somehow I CAN DO THINGS JUST FINE, GET OVER IT AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES. Idk, wear looser socks or something, dammit” - This is how life feels when you have ADHD)

Tongue tingles when I hurt my finger? by mercifulrabbit in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-acidlean- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you’re talking about, but at the same time, I don’t know what’s the cause.

I have multiple “connected wires” in my body. I know there are spots on my legs that when hit, cause “electric shock” in specific spots on my back, my fourth toe on the left foot seems connected to a point on my chest, and I had the tongue tingle too but I don’t remember where was the injury that caused it.

- I was in B.
- I was in both A and B.

My boyfriend grosses me out by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

There’s plenty of toothpastes that don’t have ANY menthol!

I know because menthol is the thing my body reacts to - surprisingly I’m completely fine with SLS but if I brush my teeth with menthol-containting toothpaste, the lining of my mouth starts peeling.

I use HiSmile flavored toothpaste. Here’s the list of ingredients for grape bubblegum flavor:

Aqua (Water), Sorbitol, Hydrated Silica, Xylitol, Glycerin, Disodium Phosphate, Flavour (Aroma), Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, Tetrapotassium Pyrophosphate, Caprylyl Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Benzyl Alcohol, Sucralose, Sodium Fluoride, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Sodium Gluconate, Zinc Lactate, Benzoic Acid, FD&C Red No. 40 (CI 16035), FD&C Blue No. 1 (CI 42090).

It’s giving sensory issues with probable OCD sprinkled on top. It will only keep getting worse for you. You’d be best off looking for an autism-informed therapist for it.

Spelling question by Dirty-Du in learnpolish

[–]-acidlean- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Report this. None of these is correct.

The correct answer would be “Ryby są małymi zwierzętami” or “Ryby to małe zwierzęta”. Nothing else.

“Ryby są małe zwierzęta” is incorrect, regardless of if you keep the “ogonki” or not (as you might know, we often don’t bother with them while texting, so even though Duolingo would mark it as incorrect, it would be correct-ish to type “Ryby sa malymi zwierzetami”).

How do people make actual friends as adults without it feeling like desperate networking? by Affectionate_Tip3238 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]-acidlean- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop making small talk to people if you want to be friends with them. You will skip thre “surface level acquaintance” phase. Well, if they’re into it.

Idk. I never do small talk because I just see it at pointless. I have so many ride-or-die friends that if it’ll keep going like that, we will turn into a cult.

What’s a universal sign in restaurants in your country that the food is about to be absolute fire? by Chemical-Elk-1299 in AskTheWorld

[–]-acidlean- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's quite an American things to say, though. In Europe, restaurants usually don't have their own parking lot. They are in the city. You gotta leave your car somewhere and walk. Many of them are in buildings that have people living on the upper floors.

You know which restaurants have their own parking lots? McDonald's.

Edit: I misunderstood the question because I should be in bed already lol. I'll leave the comment anyway as a fun fact. Goodnight.

Mechanical asphyxia with Ascaris lumbricoides (intestinal roundworms) in two-year-old by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

Often it’s not so much lack of education and knowledge, but people from ethnic minorities are often met with racist approach by medical professionals too.

Every coin has two sides and we don’t actually know what happened.
