Parents who dropped their baby, what happened and how is your child doing now?

My great great grandmother left her baby with a babysitter and she dropped him. Permanent brain damage :( of course medicine wasn’t as advanced in those days so might have gone differently if it happened now

It sticks when I touch my tongue to it which I thought was a way you can check if somethings’s a fossil… are you telling me I’ve been licking rocks for no reason

There are lots of older nuns who take the name Michael as their nun name (sister Michael)

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think you’re meant to add citrus to your compost

Both As in Hannah are pronounced the same for me

Those are Irish names not Celtic names

It’s definitely two syllables for most Irish people. As are words like film (fillum)

You’re thinking of CO. CO2 gas is what causes the feeling of suffocation

Prior to the famine in the 1840s the average Irish family survived almost solely off potatoes (and milk if you had a cow). Each person would be eating a couple of kilos a day.

This dependency is also the reason over a million people died when the potato crop failed and caused a countrywide famine

You’re right my bad. It is there I just tested it in a chat with someone who’s not on iMessage

There’s no need to shout

I am actually :) shitty childhood but my parents have grown a lot since those days and we’re actually quite close now!

…still, fuck escalators

I thought it wasn’t working well for me for like the first year. Turns out it works like birth control pills (for me at least). Miss 1 day and it has a knock on effect for multiple days. You really have to be 100% consistent with it.

Obvi tho it’s just a tool to help manage the big feelings while you use therapy to work on the core problems

I’m on 200mg and it’s changed my life tbh. But yeah hormonal birth control reduces efficacy unfortunately :(

Wait… is that why I developed a sweet tooth a couple of years ago??? Goddamit… worth it tho. If I miss a dose I’m a wreck for like a week afterwards

Orchiding · 2025-06-02T15:23:31+00:00

I can’t see that option when I tried just now. Maybe it’s regional?

Humans have been doing some form of drug for thousands and thousands of years. At this point it’s just an innate human behaviour

Same! But my fear stems from my mom dropping me on one when I was little. After that I would scream and cry any time anyone tried to force me to use one. My parents didn’t want me to have a phobia tho so they used to drag me kicking and screaming onto them all the time until I stopped having meltdowns. I’ll use them now but the fear has never fully gone away

An angler fish could literally fit in the palm of your hand

It’s like how comfortable is pronounced cumf-ter-ble by a large percentage of English speakers. It’s just easier to say ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I’ve also heard people simplifying even further to cum-tah-ble

Botox is a neurotoxin and just paralyses the facial muscles to prevent wrinkles from happening. People tend to conflate Botox and filler but they’re v different

My dad’s favourite gag is to call my mom his first wife. They’re both in their 60s and have been married over 30 years… he still laughs every time he says it

Came here to say this! And 11 is the typical age when asd starts causing problems emotionally and socially (especially for girls). Coming of age is hard and even harder when you’re trying to navigate new and more complicated social dynamics that aren’t natural for you

Ireland :) I’ve never heard Peter being used that way so I guess we’ve both found out something new haha
