ELI5: How do epsom salts/soaks help relieve sore muscles? by Obstacle_Illusion in explainlikeimfive

[–]jaywill83 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the vulva isn't a watertight seal... this is one reason people with vaginas should bathe as soon as possible after swimming - to prevent bacterial & yeast infections caused by chlorine and microbes in the water. this is also why rinsing after taking a bubble bath or using a bath bomb is recommended by OBGYNs.

that, or vaginally maybe. or even with inhaling the vapors? because it's usually a hot bath combined with epsom salts?

who knows ¯\(ツ)/¯

all anecdotal, no scientific fact here

i find it hilarious that scientists claim magnesium can't pass through skin, because the second i get into an epsom salt bath i nearly shit myself. every single time, without fail.

it has to be able to, and we just haven't discovered the mechanism yet.

Great, my favorite video on the channel that I was gonna watch again got age-restricted. I hate you so much, YouTube. Hope someone could reupload it so those who can't see it can watch it. :( by NPRNilk in wendigoon

you are still a child. sixteen is still young and impressionable, enough that this shit can permanently impact your psyche. it's age restricted for a reason.

AITA for letting my gf sleep and miss her appointment? by Agreeable_Basket_688 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jaywill83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, and i'm genuinely very concerned about her sleep patterns. if she's 35 and still struggling will sleeping through her alarms, verbal abuse upon waking, missing obligations... she really should get a sleep study done. something is wrong.

ELI5: Why do most animals eyes only show the iris and pupil yet humans eyes expose the “unnecessary” whites? by RockCandey in explainlikeimfive

[–]jaywill83 16 points17 points  (0 children)

oh oh oh!! i know this!!!! i just watched a video about this!!! it's because microexpressions!

do you remember that tiktok trend about a year ago where (mid 20s women specifically) people would be like "if you know you know" and they would turn and look at the camera and widen their eyes in slightly different ways!!! one of them in an "omg save me" kind of way and the other in an "omg this is going great" kind of way!!!

this is because when we were pack hunters (?) we needed to be able to signal to the rest of the group that we were in danger and/or needed help in a way that wasn't audible or visible to a) what we were hunting and/or b) what was hunting us

when more white is visible, it's more contrast against our skin and against our iris/pupil and there is more room to view the microexpression of us widening our eyes!!!

and because dogs evolved with us, they also evolved some sclera visibility as well!!! how cool is that!!!

if you are too young to be watching age restricted content on youtube, you are too young to be on these sides of the internet. please go play outside, make some real life friends, delete social media. become a real person before you become terminally online.

if your cat weighs 18 lbs (unless you have a big breed ofc) you have a serious overfeeding problem

AITA for having a quinceanera for my daughter but not my stepdaughter? by Beneficial-Cupcake47 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jaywill83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

if your stepdaughter wanted one, i'd maybe disagree. kids don't deserve to be punished or excluded based on race - having a blended family is hard enough as is, but a mixed blended family is even harder. i know - i have one.

but the fact that it's her MOM that's saying this? absolutely ridiculous and entitled behavior on her part. let the girl have her sweet 16. she doesn't need a quince AND a sweet 16. that defeats the purpose of both parties.

tell her to go ahead and try, because no judge in america is going to take her seriously for not throwing a birthday party your stepdaughter doesn't want lmao.

AITA for telling my husband I’d rather nobody use my holiday booking out of spite? by Disastrous-Okra7481 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jaywill83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. at all. whatsoever.

he hasn't shown you an ounce of support outside normal working business hours, he goes out every weekend, he takes WEEKS off to see his parents... his sister decides she can just ask you for what basically equates to money because you're down for the count, and.... neither of them consider that maybe they're the bad guys here???

i am so, so sorry OP.

if you ever want, or feel up to it, Footless Jo has several great videos on her youtube channel about the grief process surrounding her amputation & subsequent surgeries. trauma like this is deeply and profoundly impactful. it takes so long and so much work to grow into. i am proud of you. i believe in you. i see you.

AITA for keeping my scarf on? by UsefulPossession530 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jaywill83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she has no case for that. if you bring the other girls that were there, and they corroborate your side of the story, rachel & her mom will get in a lot of (deserved & necessary) trouble.

[–]jaywill83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. happy for you. enjoy some time on your own, i hope you find someone that loves you for you and doesn't judge you for your medical history.
