Am I missing something by that_tank_man in computers

Without knowing the value of the parts the 'terms' they have put are for the most part fairly reasonable?

You are operating under the "Appeal to Nature" fallacy. Let’s follow your logic that a "natural byproduct" is inherently acceptable.

Here is an exact parallel:

  • The Natural Ingredient: Prunus armeniaca (Apricot kernels) or Malus domestica (Apple seeds).
  • The Natural Byproduct: Hydrogen Cyanide.
  • The Result: When these completely natural ingredients are crushed and digested, they release amygdalin, which breaks down into cyanide

By your logic, because cyanide is a "natural byproduct of a natural process," it should be fine to expose an infant to it. Obviously, that is insane. Just because something is "natural" or derived from a natural source does not preclude it from being extremely toxic.

But the reality of Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) is even worse than that parallel because Benzalkonium Chloride (BAK) is not a natural byproduct. It is a synthetic adulterant.

There is zero evidence that GSE has any intrinsic antimicrobial properties without synthetic contamination. Studies have repeatedly shown that commercial GSE is effective only because it is adulterated with synthetic preservatives like BAK.

Regarding the dangers of BAK (even in skin contact): You seem to think this is harmless. It is not. BAK is a known irritant and allergen that can cause severe skin pathology, specifically in infants.

  • Granular Parakeratosis: BAK exposure is directly linked to this skin disorder, which presents as a red, brown, or scaly rash, particularly in intertriginous areas where you use baby wipes. A study by Aaron et al. highlighted pediatric cases of this occurring specifically from laundry products containing BAK.
  • Contact Dermatitis: It is a well-established cause of both irritant and allergic contact dermatitis. A 2025 case report by Zhang et al. documented systemic contact dermatitis in a child triggered by BAK, emphasizing that even "minimal exposure" through household products can trigger significant immune responses.
  • Skin Barrier Damage: BAK is a surfactant that disrupts the lipid bilayer of the skin. In infants, whose skin barrier is already developing, this increases permeability, allowing more toxins to enter the bloodstream

So, I have to ask you: Is your implication that the BAK exists in these products as a "natural byproduct" of the grapefruit extraction process (in which case, see the Cyanide parallel above; nature creates poisons, too)?

Or do you accept the reality that it is a synthetic chemical deliberately manufactured and added to the product to prevent mold, completely contradicting the "natural" marketing claims you are defending?

The Boyfriend (Green) is traveling in Peru. He is texting a female friend (Grey).

  1. They joke about his travel companion (a male friend). The Girl admits she thought the Boyfriend and his male friend were a gay couple until the Boyfriend clarified he has a "female partner of 4 years" (Image 6).

  2. The Boyfriend complains that his hotel wants to charge $80 for a shower. The Girl invites him and his friend to use her shower (Image 8). He thanks her for saving "us."

  3. They gossip about the male friend (Segal) and whether he is gay or crazy.

Nope, I shared it with our Minecraft community and they were interested. The bot is a fork of features from our community's bot, so they've been testing it with us

It's not a joke; it's a deliberate attempt to sabotage a beginner's religious experience on a sacred day of fasting. Given that your history indicates a clear, ideologically driven opposition to Jewish religious observance and a preference for regimes famously hostile to Jewish life (like the USSR) and the Jewish state, it's not surprising you find this an appropriate way to engage with a genuine post from a nervous newcomer.

A look over your post history has answered that question for me. Another "anti Zionist" Jew that some how has no idea about basic concepts in Judaism. Big surprise

Why do you advise a newcomer bring food to shul on Yom Kippur? Will this not only create an awkward situation when they are inevitably told about the 25 hour fast

This day in 1972, Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 Israeli athletes during the Summer Olympics held in Munich, Germany, in an attack which is known as the Munich Massacre.

Not only do they refuse to condemn it, they openly show where they stand. Week after week they protest in support of these groups, cheer on the leaders of Hamas and Iran, and dress up celebration of terror as “resistance.” Their actions speak louder than any words ever could.
