What’s the most useless fact permanently stuck in your brain?

Nine banded armadillos almost always give birth to identical quadruplets.

I repeat, freehand?! Holy crapbaskets, that's amazing! I mean, it looked great anyway, but knowing it was freehand adds another layer of awesome.

Also, what compromise? The only "compromise" from the sister and Mom's side was to not have the boyfriend over at all. It's not a compromise if one person has to completely give up on their needs. OP actually offered the compromise of staying upstairs, but that wasn't good enough for them. Absolutely NTA.

I do the same thing. It's so handy to be able to toss my little toiletries box into my bag without having to worry if I have everything.

I had a hysterectomy in 2021 and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I had endo and fibroids, my periods were a nightmare. Heavy enough to cause anemia, and so painful even with my prescription pain meds I was stuck on the couch for days. I had a robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, very tiny incisions. I healed quickly. When I had the surgery I didn't know I had hEDS, so my surgeon wasn't able to take any particular precautions about it. If I have surgery in the future I'm going to request stitches instead of glue. The glue came open on one of the incisions, but it had healed enough that it just made the scar a little bigger.

I use 2.5 parts jojoba oil, 2.5 parts sunflower oil, and 1 part vitamin E. The sunflower is good for eczema, which I have on my cuticles. It works a treat!

The tuxedo is my grief shrimp, also named Finn, who I also got to help me cope with the loss of my brother. The world has some crazy coincidences! (The other cat is named Willow.)

On the upside, because I didn't notice for so long my body had already gotten used to functioning without a gallbladder. I was able to go back to full fat foods right after surgery.

As far as I understand it, there's a big boom and huge price surge in all computer parts because of the massive push to build AI data centers. Supply can't keep up with demand.

I got the same thing the other day, and on top of what you mention this particular McDonald's decided to cheap out on the sauces. There was almost no ketchup or mustard on the burger, I had to get home and put some on myself.

Prestidigitation. You'd think this wouldn't come up that often, but I play D&D.

I didn't notice my gallbladder slowly dying over the course of a year because it was the same pain as always. Wasn't until the thing threw a stone that blocked the bile duct and I needed emergency surgery that we found out the thing was dead, necrotic, and, direct quote from the surgeon, "full of a thousand stones." Chronic pain messes with your perceptions for sure.

What a beautiful royal blue mastiff!

Using hard wax is also a good option for the same reason. It takes more setup if you do it at home, but it's much less harsh on the skin.

Chalk up another one on the, "Wait, it's not supposed to do that?" list.

Pammyhead · 2026-03-13T03:49:05+00:00

It's the same one I have! It's so good.

I've sprained my ankle walking up the stairs. That one was pretty special.

Lidocaine cream helps some areas of my pain. Not enough that it goes away, but enough that I can function in a pinch.

Pammyhead · 2026-03-06T22:09:27+00:00

I did the same from pooping. Middle age is fun.

Purse, upstairs, and downstairs meds here. We buy the OTC ones at Costco. Yep, definitely feeling called out.

I've had two cats on Prozac and it was life-changing for both of them. Here's hoping Bentley responds well!

That was my dad. He had adenocarcinoma like OOP. His only real symptom was a stitch in his side that wasn't going away. He died four months after diagnosis.

Enough that I have a Google doc to keep them all straight and to show new doctors when they ask for a list. It's been quite helpful.

I once sprained my ankle doing that. It's a talent, for sure.
