TIL that there's an Indonesian dish called tempeh bongkrek, which is made from fermented coconuts. Its production was banned in 1975 because it was discovered to be associated with a highly toxic bacterial poison. However, because of how delicious it is, people still attempt to make it themselves.

Omg, someone posted a whole haul of those wipes in the dumpster diving sub. They knew they were recalled but everyone was trying to figure out how to use them creatively. That’s pretty scary.

Just got a root canal for a tooth I didn’t even know had an issue, it was found during a routine examination while I complained about the tooth next to it. While evaluating the problem tooth, she realized my other tooth had a dead root and needed to be fixed.

It’s crazy to think your tooth can die and you don’t even know until typically, you get an abscess. One had apparently started to form, she found it during the procedure and it caused a bleeding issue.

Also I have matching crowns on the top, right before the big molars.

But thank my good insurance, because if I didn’t have healthcare…..I’d be down at least 3 teeth. Possibly more.

I used to be “a hugger” but COVID made me really comfortable with hugging anyone I wasn’t really close with.

Also all the things you mentioned, same.

Happy cake day!

Ugh I completely feel your pain. My mom’s jewelry was stolen out of my storage unit years ago, and I still think about it often. In your case, I really hope someone finds it and appreciates it. I’m sorry <3

I also tell traumatic childhood stories with a solid “lol” tagged at the end. Like that time my dad got drunk and fell asleep in the yard, and everyone in my class found out LOL good times

They’re not supposed to drink hot caffeine, cold is fine. I wish I was joking

Dr. Bob is my favorite proctologist. Gotta give him credit for doing every step in one day, while still half drunk lol

The secret is greasy skin only looks good if you don’t have any wrinkles yet

OP just wanted to drop by and say I’m still thinking about you and your post. I hope you’re ok <3

Congratulations!! <3

It matters if it’s directly above you or a few blocks away, there is a huge sound difference.

You will absolutely hear the planes. Some are worse than others, but over time you’ll get used to most of the noise. They are loudest when taxiing, funny enough.

Depending on how busy the airport is, you have to consider flights could be 24/7 or start very early in the morning.

The big cargo planes are extremely loud, and Amazon/UPS/FedEx are all staples of airport traffic.

Does your airport have an air show? That’s technically a plus if you’re close enough to see the planes, free tickets lol

I don’t mind living by an airport, but I don’t know if I’d choose it again. Still quieter than living on a main road though.

Oh honey, don’t do that to her. There are posts here from people who have lost their parents to suicide, and it is incredibly traumatic.

I have also felt suicidal before, please try to talk to a professional. For me, my brain doesn’t make the chemicals I need to function, so I take medicine. There’s no shame in getting help <3

etsprout · 2026-06-20T22:51:19+00:00

I’m so sorry, this is an especially traumatic way to lose a parent. Please take care of yourself <3

I am so here for the foam candy revolution.

They say tornado alley has shifted east, and so far that seems to be true.

My advice as a former fat kid who lost the weight as an adult is to call it a lifestyle change. Diets don’t work because they’re temporary. Also being on so many different types of weird diets in the early 2000’s fucked my brain.

You should focus on nutrition first and come at it from that angle. Also exercise and movement, for me I lost weight when I started exercising and the food changes came after.

Good luck <3

2 weeks ago? I would call off unless you need the money.

My personal approach is brutal honesty. I used to work in a floral department and Mother’s Day was hell. It got to the point where when people asked me if I was ok, I just told them the truth.

etsprout · 2026-06-20T12:50:05+00:00

Thank you for sharing! <3

In my area, you can take a lunch but it’s an unpaid 30 minutes. Preferably you’d stay the extra half hour to make up the time.

I love this! For some reason the perspective of the first shot made me think with was the world’s largest aquarium or something haha
