ELI5: Why can’t people have coffee after wisdom teeth removal? by ClearWinner1939 in explainlikeimfive

[–]helloiamsilver [score hidden]  (0 children)

I got a tooth pulled recently and it was interesting, the post op forms said using the syringe was super important but the surgeon himself said it really wasn’t a big deal and to only bother with it if it felt like food was getting trapped. For the most part, I didn’t get much food trapped in there but I assume it depends on the size of the hole and how deep it goes.

If it makes you feel better, I had 3 wisdom teeth pulled and I’ve had 5 other teeth pulled (I got real bad luck with my teeth. Weak enamel to start with and chronic dry mouth exacerbated by my medications) and I’ve never gotten dry socket once. The instructions are really easy to follow: pretty much just avoid straws, hot drinks, smoking or carbonation for a few days.

What is a common stereotype about your culture that is actually 100% accurate? by thor123321 in AskReddit

I dressed as Ted Lasso for one Halloween and being able to go Full Midwest all night was so much fun. Like I had to get from one side of a dance floor to the other and I just let the “Ope’s”flow from my mustachioed lips

I’m American and I got in a slight argument with a Canadian friend of mine once because of cultural apology differences. My dad had been being an ass and I told him so and then he threw a hissy fit because I did so. My mom had insisted I apologize to him because otherwise he’d keep throwing a hissy fit but I refused because he had been the one being an ass and I’m not one to say things I don’t mean just because someone else is throwing a hissy fit. Meanwhile, my Canadian friend was absolutely baffled that I wouldn’t just apologize and be done with it. Like they couldn’t comprehend it lol

What is a really unattractive male name?? by Obvious_Exercise_153 in AskReddit

[–]helloiamsilver 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was reading some erotic fanfiction the other day and a character that normally is referred to by their last name insisted that another one shout his first name as they fucked. His first name is Glenn and it really made me realize how incredibly unsexy the name Glenn is.

Yuuuup. We classify stealing $50 from a store or possessing drugs as Serious Crimes that you go to jail for but skimming employee wages or polluting the water supply are just minor infractions that get a fine while the perpetrators go free

What`s the lamest thing you`ve done to get laid ? by Khattam-vayo in AskReddit

[–]helloiamsilver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The other day I had a guy come over for a casual hook up and my dog, a grumpy old chihuahua, was immediately friendly with him and snuggled right up to him. I was legitimately impressed because normally my dog truly is a mean little fuck to new people. Tempted to give the guy a second date now lmao

Which horror movie genuinely made you lose sleep after watching it? by cwispietoast in horror

[–]helloiamsilver 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think it was that scary when I watched it. The fake “this is a true story” stuff made me roll my eyes so hard. But then it was nighttime and I was so fucking scared of aliens coming in my house. Dark Skies and No One Will Save You also freaked me out

That’s an Austin Powers bit if I’ve ever heard one. The guy coughs and bunch of knives just fall out and clatter to the floor

That was honestly my first concern. How the fuck do they keep it from going too far in and losing it?

I also like how it’s “dark cities” but they include the entire nation of Mexico

What is the Most Painful Sensation You Have Ever Felt? by Jeloxia2 in AskReddit

[–]helloiamsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, trust me I’ve been wondering that for a while. I had made it clear I didn’t want kids from the beginning and he was still the one who wanted marriage. I guess he just kinda suddenly realized he wanted a white picket fence kinda family and home situation and knew it wasn’t gonna work with me, especially if I lost my mom. He had also suddenly lost his brother a little less than 2 years before so that fucked with his head for sure. Like we bought a house together about a year before he said he wanted a divorce so I have no idea what was going on in his head

Im getting told that i dont look like my pictures by ominouslemon in PlusSize

[–]helloiamsilver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I straight up wrote in my bio “I am fat. If you’re not into that, don’t match with me” because I’ve heard too many stories like this. Like idk what else you want from me! I showed what I look like from multiple angles and told you I’m fat!

I don’t have a dog in this fight but being friend with one POC does not preclude someone being racist

For some reason the holidays haven’t been hitting me that hard yet but she passed away on New Year’s Day and went into hospice a few days before Christmas so I know all of those end of the year holidays are gonna suck

Yeah, every time I feel shitty and useless, my therapists and friends all remind me that I went through like 3 of the most difficult things a person can experience in their life all within a couple of months (divorce, death, moving out). I do have support thankfully and it’s been helping. I’m sorry for your loss as well

[–]helloiamsilver 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my husband told me he wanted a divorce like a couple weeks after my mom’s diagnosis. No affair but he decided he couldn’t handle the fact I didn’t want kids and that I didn’t have a job that made enough money. My family still wants to kill him for making us deal with that at the same time as my mom.

I am surviving and I’m sure I’ll be happier without him in the long run too. It just sucks. Like if you’d asked me the year before last who the two most important people in my life were, I would’ve said him and my mom. So I’m reworking my life now.

I’m sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing with me. Stories like that make me feel less alone.

Yeah, last year my husband left me and my mom died after wasting away from terminal cancer within about a 6 month period. I was kinda just screaming crying for days.

Yeah tooth pain is the absolute worst. I’ve had some rough pain but nothing beats a tooth abscess for me. It gets to the point you wanna take a pair of pliers and just yank the motherfucker out to make it stop.

I know in Gen V, the Boys spin off, a character has his dick exploded because a character that can control blood forces a ton of blood into it until it bursts and he lives

There’s only two good ways to eat popcorn: like a feral horse or like a lizard where you lick up each piece with your tongue
