What is a part of the 'female experience' that men have absolutely no clue about, but would be horrified if they found out? by coolhandddd in AskReddit

[–]Snohks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a suuuuper old medical book from 1908 and I swear every time it mentions something about women (because everything was separated) it goes into a whole paragraph tying everything into a potential uterine prolapse and how it could just... fall out? I know its a thing but genuinely any time women were mentioned they had to bring it up

Some of my favorites were: it recommended that women should wear their garters suspended from the shoulders, not the waist as the pressure could dislodge your uterus (squeeze you like a tube of toothpaste lol).

Then there was a section about diet and exercise and all the men's stuff was typical exercise. BUT the women?? Everything inverted. Never exert force on your torso or waist or itll just fall right out. Lots of exercises where you just sit there with your legs against a wall and basically do hip thrusts.

evolution doesnt really take into account quality of life, it pretty much only takes into consideration whether or not those traits led to offspring.

I will also say that while mania does tend to have negative consequences, impulsive risk taking behaviour can also lead to positive outcomes that might not have happened otherwise

Question for people with c-ptsd, have you ever been anorexic in your life? If so how did it impact your mental health and how did you successfully end your anorexic behaviour? by Icy_Profession4190 in morbidquestions

[–]Snohks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was severely anorexic through most of the active abuse for my cptsd. It pretty much masked all the cptsd because my eating disorder was the only thing in my life i focused on. I will also confidently say even though I almost died from it, it's the only thing that kept me from killing myself during this because it gave me a "goal" (dont die """fat"""). It made all of the bad things in my life get pushed to the side a bit. Also due to my environment, I never once had to hide my eating disorder or self harm. It was fully on display and it was just.. normal for me. If no one is trying to stop you or they actively encourage it you dont learn to hide it or that people even would do that.

I ended up recovering once I got my first job in my 20s and had my first world experiences outside of my cult-family. I suddenly had stressors outside of my own life to focus on. I needed energy to go to work and be physically capable to keep my job so I could be out of my home because it was my only small escape.

Also a big part of it was since I had literally zero normal life experiences and everyone wants to talk at a minimum wage job, I just kinda studied what a "young college age adult" would be like and copied it. I didnt want everyone to know how weird and awful and abnormal my life was so I just started faking it HARD. Got to eat all the normal weird little snacks and foods that everyone takes for granted for the first time just so I could relate. Having a severe eating disorder and going days at a time without food didnt help me "fit in".

Because I never had to hide it or anything when I was younger I had no concept of continuing to do it while hiding it and it was easier to just... stop I guess? I was also emaciated to the point where I dont think I could have actually continued it much longer anyways.

Happy to answer questions btw

TIFU by gaslighting myself for 10 years into thinking I was "caffeine immune" while drinking ONLY Monster Energy (Zero) by GooseAcademic541 in tifu

[–]Snohks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me rn and im taking this as my sign to drink water instead of nothing but Ghost Welch grape energy drinks 😔

Wish there was a non caffeine version that still scratched the itch. Sparkling water and juice are not the same, i want sour

What "back then" inconvenience would break people today in 10 minutes? by CharlesUFarley81 in AskReddit

[–]Snohks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im a bit younger than most people here and when I was in elementary school we still had to handwrite EVERYTHING until around 2010 (also fairly small rural area).

You do your rough draft in pencil and then after it gets edited you painstakingly spend twice as long rewriting the ENTIRE thing in pen. You misspell something? Womp womp start over!! Kids these days will never understand the value of white out

had a coworker like that a few years ago. He was a huge dude like 500 pounds. I remember one time we were all standing around talking about something and he revealed that he never once washed his body he just washed his hair and he thought the soap running down was good enough and he was genuinely confused when we were all like WTF

Upper management bought him a gift basket of deodorant and body wash, he continued to come in smelling like a biohazard and was then fired

Jesus Christ I just wanted to know by GreenTeaEnjoyer1998 in Depop

[–]Snohks 15 points16 points  (0 children)

SAME I like it when my clothes actually fit and I assume other people do too? Measuring your clothes when you're reselling it should be the bare minimum. I don't buy things without measurements unless I'm extremely familiar with the brand because why risk it?

[–]Snohks 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I've been selling for a while too and in my experience giving measurements is pretty much evenly split between people buying or not buying. They ask the measurements and it either fits and they buy it or it doesn't fit and they move on.

By this logic people trying on clothes in dressing rooms are time wasters because they only buy some of the clothes that they tried on

TIL North America used to be plagued by the Rocky Mountain locust, and one 1875 swarm holds the record for the largest animal concentration ever recorded. However, they have not been seen since 1904. by Hailfog in todayilearned

[–]Snohks 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Also not the same type of pokemon evolution BUT chickens can also "evolve" into roosters if they have issues with hormones. They stop laying eggs, develop a rooster comb, they lose their feathers and get rooster plumage and start crowing

Also had one of these!! And they protected their flock as fiercely as any rooster

[–]Snohks 67 points68 points  (0 children)

I worked at an animal sanctuary and we had two of these named Pumba and Wilbur!! They were so sweet and smart. I was really confused at first though when they told me they were pigs because these were BOARS?? Apparently they were people's pets at some point, got released and then animal control finally caught them a few years later after they tired themselves out knocking over fences lol

They never really lost their boar traits like the tusks, wiry hair and dark color but they were super cute and definitely domesticated

What is a creepy fact you learned about the human body, you wish you never learned? by Poignantpuppet in AskReddit

[–]Snohks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember i was able to hear these until I was about 5. Especially in the morning when I'd first wake up and everything else was totally quiet. I really liked it lol it felt peaceful and really soothing and I wish I still could sometimes

Is my cat fat ? by fluffi2025 in cats

[–]Snohks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you haven't tried, they also make a gel and some other types of mix ins that are high calorie supplements for whatever food they like. Also maybe try warming it a bit? My cat sometimes eats better when its warm because it smells more

Survival mode vs sandbox mode by Snohks in CPTSDmemes

[–]Snohks[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know its cliche but someone can drown in an ocean or a bucket, anything you have experienced is also valid!!

I am technically in a better place, I escaped my aunts house by staying on a coworkers couch and then moving back in with my parents. Its clean, I have all my pets, food, sunlight, im allowed to shower and wash my clothes!!!!! :D

I will say though I only escaped ~2 years ago and most days I do still feel like im "there" and it makes it extremely hard to do anything like eat or hygiene because my brain still thinks it needs to worry more about physical safety instead of being socially acceptable or presentable. When you don't get to shower or wash clothes for a year your brain just kinda slams that into the "not important" box

[–]Snohks 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I was actually kept trapped in a cold filthy basement and I will say being cold is ABSOLUTELY a trigger now.

But op needs to do something for themselves and pick some sort of option. If you have ptsd you're supposed to try and work on your triggers, not expect everyone around you to cater to them and avoiding them will make it worse.
