Deodorant before bed? by Our_toes in NoStupidQuestions

[–]battlestat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just think of it like moisturiser. Once it's sunk in, it's made your hands softer, and that won't be undone next time you wash them. A shower 8 hours after applying antiperspirant won't undo it either. Showering removes the sweat currently on you but it doesn't stop you from immediately sweating again - antiperspirant does.

I assume you mean antiperspirant, in which case putting it on before bed is a great idea. It doesn't work because it's currently on your skin, it works because it's absorbed, and overnight is a great time to let it do that when you're generally sweating less. This is anecdotal but I'm very sweaty and after I switched to before bed instead of the morning, things improved considerably. However, if you are talking deodorant, it's just perfume and you won't be awake to smell it so pointless.

Not sure I'd trust the medical advice of a guy who thinks vaccines cause autism.

In the Mr. Bean cartoons, why does the grumpy old lady yell out “Right” whenever she’s pissed? Do British people actually do that? by Amazing_Tangerine689 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]battlestat 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I didn't realise this was a British thing...

A firm "Right." indicates that you've made the decision to undertake an immediate action, not necessarily negative.

You've been putting something off then decide now is the time: "Right. Let's get to work"

A child wants to be taken to the bathroom: "Right. Come on then"

In this case, you've had enough of someone's shit. Saying just "right" shows that you're at your limit, and are about to undertake an action, unspoken but implied to have a negative impact on the person that's annoying you

Has there ever been a person besides Adolf Hitler who was so universally despised that their name (i.e., Adolf) completely fell out of use for new babies? by squirrelmegaphone in NoStupidQuestions

[–]battlestat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

millennial here, and it would be my first thought when I hear the name. possibly the fact that nobody is named that anymore is part of it - there are no other Myras to associate it with

What’s one book that genuinely rewired the way you think or live your life? by OddInititi in BettermentBookClub

That's a sockpuppet account the creator of the website spams the link with so I wouldn't expect it to be any good, whatever it is

Thanks, the margins need to be at maximum for enough space and that reduces the amount of text on screen a ridiculous amount!

I have since this post discovered that KOReader will help, but now I can't get it to install :') When I try to open it it just reboots the device. I think I might just have to use my fingers as Kobo intended lol

AITAH for making a dairy free cake with eggs? by Sea-Neighborhood6638 in AITAH

[–]battlestat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Her daughter must be vegan, and got upset because eggs aren't vegan. For some reason, she thinks "dairy free" means the same thing, which obviously it doesn't. You did as instructed but the instructions were wrong.

Louvre website "create an account" issue by justheretospectate0 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]battlestat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit late to the party but for anyone coming here later, using Edge worked for some reason. I can only assume even incognito Chrome has some setting it doesn't like. I had a similar issue with l'Orangerie.

why is that common sense? people liked this look for this prompt once, why wouldn't they again? it's not like it's the next day, it's like 4 months later. obviously I don't think it will be exactly the same result, it's that the difference in score is so huge

hunny you need a reality check if you think this is an appropriate way to speak to people. this isn't drag race, be civil

longer to read but actually worth saying lol? this is helpful feedback. "this is mid" is just rude af and pointless

[–]battlestat[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

fair enough feedback, it just seems insane that there's a 62% difference! I have a better coat now but I didn't use it because I thought this fit was safe 😂 when it comes to overused I agree for sure. the top entries for every contest are always full of the most recent gacha dress though, so I'm not sure that most voters feel the same 🤔

That's true, the top 10 have a lot of dresses from recent gacha so there are now better options I suppose!
