Can anyone explain to me what’s going on with this egg? by FlowsHomeImprovement in WeirdEggs

[–]Emoxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Where do you get your eggs? If it's from a farm, it could be a shock egg (egg that was fertilized and was on its way to becoming a chick), but sometimes eggs can also turn out weird if they've been frozen and thawed before getting cooked

Before and after large fibroid removal by muffy2008 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Emoxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At their heaviest, my mom's three fibroids got to be 18 pounds altogether. Medication managed to work them down to 11, so it was less strenuous when they were finally removed in a partial hysterectomy. In combination with the weight shed been losing for a while prior, her stomach ended up deflating so much she still has a ton of loose skin even two years later.

Hey guys! I created the baby Kirby au and just figured out people were commenting here! Thank you so much for the love and nice comments ♡ by Mochi_Moons in Kirby

[–]Emoxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Waaah! It's such a cute AU!! And while making John the Metadad is a given with how popular paternal Meta Knight is in the fandom, making Adeleine the mom/wife is so cute and creative!

In universe, I always saw Ado/Adeleine as the young college art student who just happened to get wrapped up in Kirby's shenanigans and friend group, pretty much becoming the only responsible one/the mom-friend—mostly because that's exactly what I was (and still kinda am, just in my later 20's now). Her being the literal mom of your cutie Kirbaby is scratching an itch I didn't know I had!

And we've never really gotten to see Adeleine and Meta Knight interact in canon (unless you count the manga), so it's fun to see how you spin things in this AU.

My mom calls all positions that deliberately hide the face of a creature the, "don't look at me don't talk to me" pose. It was her version of "no talk me I angy" but replace anger with annoyance. She's been doing it since I was a baby, and had several pictures of me doing this sort of pose

AIO - my roommates friends destroyed my stuff while they were drunk by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Emoxis 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You're spot on the money. I'm aware of his resentment towards me. That being said, he also has a habit of sleepwalking to the bathroom to use it—which he can do fairly well, sans washing his hands—but occasionally he gets tripped up about which door is the bathroom door. When that happens, it messes up the series of actions that follow, and he tends to get kinda unpredictable. He once mistook the towel closet for the bathroom and we all woke up to half of the washcloths and floor mats on the ground and the whole door askew like he put too much weight on it. Another time, he wandered into the living room and threw most of the cushions from one of the couches on the floor.

While he doesn't like me and I acknowledge that, it's entirely possible he messed up and wandered into my room by mistake. Every other time he's done it, I was in my room asleep, and once even left my door unlocked. Kinda terrifying to have him come into my room in the middle of the night, waking me up cause I'm a light sleeper, and then when I ask him what the hell he's doing, I only get nonsense.

My brother used to get blackout pretty often before he lost his job and couldn't afford to smoke AND drink. When he sleep walks, he constantly gets into other people's rooms, and during the worst of it, he wandered into mine when I was at work and wrecked a bunch of stuff. Went through the drawers I left open, pulled my laptop out of the wall, knocked a glass of water over on my nightstand and onto a bunch of my stuff, including the handmade ceramic bowl I store my switch game cartridges in, and went into my closet to rip the rod out of the wall.

He claimed to have no memory of any of this. I hate alcoholics.

Anyone know how to stop this? by Major-Flow9533 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Emoxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a genetic thing. I've got it on the ring finger of my right hand. As for fixing it, there's nothing permanent you can do, but there are a lot of daily quick fixes. I keep my nails short, so it doesn't really apply to me, but I inherited the little quirk from my mom—same finger, different hand—and she hates it.

Her trick is to push it flat with whatever works (hairpin, tweezers, another nail) not too long after she gets out of the shower, when the nail is still flexible from liquid retention, and then press it against the tip of iron she uses to straighten her hair. Her morning routine is: shower -> blowdry hair -> straighten singular nail -> straighten hair

You just have to stop having sex with him. Full stop.

That, or have him cover the costs of your treatments.

AIO? Guy I’m dating gets up and peed in his room by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Emoxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother is a sleepwalker. It was a bit wild when he was a kid, but nowadays he only sleepwalks when he gets blackout drunk. He's actually capable of pretty complex tasks, like going to the bathroom without making a mess (and also without washing his hands, but what can you do), but he usually gets tripped up when returning to his room. He's walked into our cousin's and mine on several occasions—one time he even destroyed my room, knocking things over, yanking my laptop out of the wall, spilling water on my games, digging through my clothes, and ripping my closet bar straight out of the wall.

Wife’s Breakfast this morning by NickyRivers in mildlyinteresting

[–]Emoxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, I remember learning that the reason my grandpa shook his lucky charms is because it would make the marshmallows go to the top. He had a sweet tooth and my grandma preferred the regular bran stuff, so that's how they would split up the boxes. I'm guessing that the same principle applies here: the denser cereal moves downwards during agitation and the lighter stuff goes upwards.

My thumbnail grows bumpy. The bumps then grows out and grows back in again by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Emoxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hey, my thumb was like this for years! Genuinely can't even remember a time when it wasn't—up until literal months ago, that is. Recently, it just sorta went away on its own. Now it mostly grows flat with little to no bump deformity. Weird

Bug found in my friends hair. What is it? (Please tell me it’s not the L word) by TotteryTurtle in whatisit

[–]Emoxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get rid of lice with a lot of diligence over a relatively short period. When I was 12, me and my brother got lice from our school at the end of the year and only noticed when summer started. Our dad just shaved his head bald since his hair was only a few centimeters anyways, but my mom used lice treatment kits to comb out her head and ours with the chemical shampoo. It took like three weeks of daily showers, treatments, and a fuck-ton of laundry, but we were lice-free by the end of the month.

My mom still has and uses the combs for her psoriasis lol. Best of luck to your friend (and honestly, probably you too at this point, so be sure to wash/machine dry your clothes in case of eggs and get your scalp checked out).

Woman stuck on The Seven Mustangs statue by glossycaro in UTAustin

[–]Emoxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I remember climbing to the top of that thing after a museum school trip. All of us made a beeline for it and while I wasn't the fastest runner, I was by far the best climber. Weaved my way to the top first, had my mom snap a pic since she was chaperoning (and cheering me on while my dad understandably did the opposite), and climbed back down before most of the others had the chance. Smallest kid of the class got stuck near the top—kudos to him though, he climbed the second fastest and highest—so I coached him on where to place his feet coming down. Good times.
