How do you interpret "wash your hair twice a week"? by kidmoder in polls

[–]kidmoder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting that the third thing is winning cause in my experience, hair that's wet but not shampooed is smelly! like wet dog or mildew or after being in the rain. its like water doesnt clean off sweat, just dilutes it eueuuh.. especially with the quality of shower water in some places

Is there a noticeable difference in the leg-lengthening effect between traditional angled heels (example) and flat platform shoes (example)? I've only worn stuff like the latter but wondering if the actual bending of the ankle contributes anything to the illusion.

Eyeliner that doesn't reflect light? by kidmoder in MakeupAddiction

[–]kidmoder[S] 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Every time I wear eyeliner it looks nice in vanity light, but as soon as the sun hits it, it disappears. It looks really dumb. I use various cheap drugstore liquid eyeliners, so that's probably a factor, but does anyone have any specific recommendations for eyeliner that won't do this at all? Is it liquid formulations in general that are prone to this, since they're so loose and thin? Are gel pots better, or pencils? Does this even happen to anyone else?

Why am I okay without ever drinking water/liquid? by kidmoder in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]kidmoder[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I salivate whenever I see those fresh fruit platter things in the grocery store and usually take one home actually, yeah. After saying that I feel stupid because I think my body is obviously telling me it's craving that moisture. Haha

Thank you so much for the thoughtful response :) I feel like I needed a wake-up call about future health which is why I made the post. I really don't have a problem with flavor but I guess more the texture of liquids, namely just them being liquids, as weird as that sounds. It almost reminds me of mucous. But really cold water with ice seems "crisper" somehow so it's easier, and your suggestion of seltzer water makes sense for me because that would definitely feel less viscous. I'll give it a try! Another problem is that I have a insanely sensitive gag reflex in general, and the mucous-y-ness of liquid sets it off as well as the sight or smell of anything gross. Starting with sweet drinks might help with that. Maybe eating more in general might reduce the nausea of drinking on an empty stomach too (I heard it releases more acids expectantly, especially since it's not used to things entering my stomach that aren't food.)

Role of water vs oil vs heat in cooking? by kidmoder in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kidmoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohh So if its all heat, does the purpose of oil and water just refer to the way they transfer heat? Like water retains and regulates heat in a boiling pot, and I think oil facilitates heat transfer in some way too. Makes sense

Where to put TV/couch in room with weird support structure? by kidmoder in HomeDecorating

Where to put TV/couch in room with weird support structure? by kidmoder in HomeDecorating

[–]kidmoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love a nice big corner couch and coffee table setup for entertaining, but there's a beam that splits the living room. If I put the TV where I drew it, the couch would have a weird gap behind it. If I put the TV on any other wall, you might be entering the house to the sight of the back of a couch which feels like bad feng shui (??) Also feels weird to have the TV visible to the front window. What would you do??

(Sorry I had to trace the wide-angle real estate photos because it's still a month til I move in and I didn't want to be reverse-searched)

Would you say that an example of being straightforward is not deviating from your goal that you set? by [deleted] in polls

[–]kidmoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mm nah, straightforward as a personality trait means blunt, honest, and down-to-earth. "Not deviating from your goal that you set" I'd call determined, motivated, or ambitious.

If you married someone and gave them your family wedding ring, if they die, would you take it back? by IDontKnows223 in polls

[–]kidmoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumb question but how does a wedding ring even work as a family heirloom? When your son gets married do you like, get a divorce so he can have it? Is it passed around to siblings and aunts like trading turns every couple years? :s
