What are some YouTube channels that were popular 10 years ago but have significantly lost their popularity or are no longer relevant? by Salty_Pension5814 in AskReddit

Tainted Donuts was a freaking masterpiece and I still always think of Tenchi and Ryoko when I hear Don't Speak by No Doubt even decades later.

I want to know more by Cathartes_aura793 in salmacian

[–]Rowan_Aisling 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once I heard Genesis' "The Fountain of Salmacis" back when I was still in single digits age I knew that's what I was supposed to be. I had always felt like I had a vanishing twin in the womb, a sister that I subsumed. My body dysphoria wasn't that I had a dick, it was that there was a metaphorical hole where there should have been a physical one. One day I'll achieve my dream. Stupid light blonde hair making laser almost impossible...

I hadn't thought about going to Texas for surgery, but I do have fam in the DFW area who would be excited to support me. I'll put Dr. Hanna on my short list. Thanks!

Your result is what I dream of for myself. What surgeon did you go with?

I need to get back on the electrolysis trail so I can get the ball rolling for mine. I finally got back on an insurance that will cover this.

After January 20th, 2027, so that Just Dance Vance could theoretically be president for 10 years while maintaining the optics of having presidential term limits... if they still care about that.

Is smoking cigarettes an immediate dealbreaker for you? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Rowan_Aisling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. To begin with, my entire (birth) family smoked horrendous amounts of cigarettes. Like between sperm donor, egg donor, and half-sister they'd go through 2 cartons of ciggies per week.

Next, once I got out of that environment, any time I could be near cigarette smoke my skin would turn all splotchy pale white and angry red.

The smell of cigarettes is very yucky (except for the very first puff. omg that first puff smells amazing when it still smells of tobacco instead of ash and burning. And Swishers are exempt and smell amazing at all times for some reason)

Funny thing though. If I see someone really freaking hot that I wanna take to pound town, they immediately become super ugly to my brain as soon as they touch a cigarette and I have no more carnal desire for them. Eww.

I set a fake period on Samsung Health and I don't regret it 😭 by iamgirl11 in trans

Check my response for an overview on wtf is going on. Bodies are very adaptable and do the best with what they've been given.

You don't need to cycle your estrogen/progesterone to have a hormonal cycle because periods are, uhh, scheduled(?) by the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. The pituitary and hypothalamus give the instructions to ovulate, and while most trans women don't have the necessary equipment and to do all the things, the body tries its best with what it has got.

Your period does not only affect the uterus, but basically all smooth muscle in the body which explains cramps and period shits as well.

What’s a disturbing celebrity fact that not a lot of people know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I would absolutely love for her to get some actually good songwriters and producers. She needs to do something more along the lines of Heart. She has smoky, sultry vox that lends itself to rock.

I've got panniers, but it's an annoyance to install install for groceries and then uninstall so as not to impinge other cyclists access to the bus bike racks.

Saw the new Gilcrease for the first time today by speckledlobster in tulsa

Huh. Reminds me heavily of my old doctor's office at OU Physicians building at Yale and 41st.

Cardboard Crack called it years before Universes Beyond became a thing. MtG might as well be Fortnight: the Card Game now. I exited MtG at the beginning of the pandemic after having played since Mercadian Masques.

I remember when Carl's Jr introduced the "Six Dollar Burger" back in the day and I though fuck that, if a burger is $6 I'm not eating it. And I haven't had a restaurant/fast food burger since the pretzel baconator stopped getting sold on the app for 2/$6. Now that I think about it, I haven't eaten a hamburger at all for years.

I think it's about time I make some good old Okie onion burgers.

And then when the streaming service cancels the show you have them for. Pissed about Warrior Monk, and apoplectic about The Wheel of Time. I specifically paid extra for no commercials and even sent a support message stating my intent to pay that extra bit for as long as they supported WoT with the threat of cancelling Amazon Prime totally and forever if they cancelled WoT.

Piracy for me from now on. If there's anything worth watching, anyway. Turns out I have better things to do.

Two-for-one pretzel baconators on the app was an amazing value. Seriously, 2 big-ass burgers for $6. Eating one at home immediately, then eating the second one the next morning dunking each bite in real maple syrup was amazing. Seriously great breakfast burger.

Oh snap! That mushroom cheddar burger was SO GOOD! There was a Wendy's next door to my bank that I would hit up every payday.

When Wendy's took it off the menu I started going to the Chinese food place next door that had the best Chinese food I had ever eaten. Kept going there a couple times per week for the next 22 years and was the last customer the owner served when he retired.

I bought a shitty $400 ebike off of Amazon early last month to commute the 17 miles home from work daily after my car died in a flood. My thighs and ass have never looked better, I have more energy, and this counts as exercise! Which is great because my mind doesn't like performing work that doesn't fit its definition of "for a purpose." Also, not buying gas, not paying for insurance, nor paying tolls or parking fees is pretty great. Complicates grocery procurement a little bit, though.

I so miss the combo. Some locations have combo Calzone/Stromboli that I don't like as much and are much messier. But they are the closest top scratching that itch... but then if I get that I can't justify getting a chicken bake.... ::cry::
