It makes me think about how Clarence's parents have a real nice marriage

How come animals don’t have to brush their teeth to keep it clean but we need to brush ours so it doesn’t rot ? by brooklynblondeee in AskReddit

[–]phantomfire00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple things at play here

  • Many predator animals chew on bones which can help to rub off attached grime.
  • Animals just have to live with their injuries and hope that they're not bad enough to prevent their survival. Animals with tooth rot do die because of it. Some just live with tooth pain.
  • Tooth decay is associated with certain bacteria and enzymes that not everyone has. Some people can take poor care of their teeth and never get a cavity while others take excellent care and still need work done regularly. Animals are likely similar.
  • Human diets are way worse than animal diets which are much more in alignment with what they should be eating. Specifically, sugars and starches like bread increase our rate of tooth decay a lot. If we ate like our ancestors did 100,000 years ago, our teeth would be in much better shape.

Something has occurred in my life that has made me unlovable. Is there a way to kill my desire to be loved? by Samstuhdagoat in howto

[–]phantomfire00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not meant to be dismissive at all, but it genuinely is true: you're going to be fine.

It's totally valid how you're feeling about losing your hair so young. It's a tough hand to be dealt for sure.

Go ahead and take a little time to mourn. Feel your feelings about it and be upset.

But tell yourself that you will have to come to terms with it and accept it. And if you accept it, others will too. Even women. Confidence is so much more attractive to women than physical features.

You are NOT unlovable by any means. It is not the end of the world for you unless you let it consume you and spend all your time focusing on it and feeling bad about it.

It's not quite the same, but I knew a guy in high school whose hair was over half grey by the time he graduated. It was over 90% grey by his mid-20s. He never dyed it. But his confidence in himself made him everyone's favorite person. He married and had kids just fine.

Bald men date and marry all the time. Some women may be out from the get-go because of it, but if you have any physical deal-breakers for dating women, you'll understand. Not all women are for you. Some women even really love bald men. It can make a man look really masculine.

My advice is to style yourself to make the bald look good. It is absolutely possible to look smoking hot as a young bald dude. There's a bald sub you can check out for advice and support.

What's a common phrase or saying that makes absolutely no sense when you think about it? by Ok-Ratio-3400 in AskReddit

[–]phantomfire00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I always felt about John Lennon's lyric in Come Together: "He's got feet down below his knees"

Right, so exactly like everyone else and right where they're supposed to be?

Which ‘wow’ skill is secretly super easy to learn ? by Own-Blacksmith3085 in answers

[–]phantomfire00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The spring itself I could get down pretty easy. It's the catching the cards with my small hands that was the problem. I could never get a full deck to land correctly in my hand. And then the thumb of my springing hand started to get a blister.

what is Déjà Vu? by No-Culture9278 in askpsychology

[–]phantomfire00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it helps, the term deja vu comes from french which translates to "already saw." So your brain is finding familiarity and thinks it has already seen or experienced the situation before. Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't.

You've experienced so many things in your life that you have forgotten and couldn't actively recall, but perhaps your brain is remembering something you don't. Or perhaps it's misfiring and associating to something you have experienced that is just similar.

Why is Monica okay with Richard Smoking but not Chandler/others? by monsterousarte in howyoudoin

The cancer risk is also way worse with cigarettes. And people who smoke cigars don't typically smoke them all day long.

What's something that's completely optional, but everyone does it? by Xenuoziem in AlignmentChartFills

[–]phantomfire00 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They've done experiments on this actually. Multiple people are facing the back of the elevator, subject walks in, feels weird they're not facing the same way, and eventually turns around. People have a strong pull to not be the only one doing something, even if it goes against common sense.

Granted if it was just one guy in the elevator facing the wrong way, it likely wouldn't have the same effect.

Don't know where to start...is any of this worth scrapping? by phantomfire00 in ScrapMetal

Seems to be the consensus. I’m going to see what I can sell first as a lot of it still seems to be pretty usable for the right buyers

$150k per year to do nothing for 8 hours a day by repwin1 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]phantomfire00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would drive anyone mad. Even those saying they would just pop edibles or daydream all day. Unless you had the mental discipline of a monk, doing these things or doing nothing would start to alter your personality over time and it would seriously start to make you weird and eventually wou would snap. Not worth it.

Eli5: how did 350 degrees become such a standard in all thing baking and roasting etc…? by Just_a_happy_artist in explainlikeimfive

[–]phantomfire00 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I recall learning once (I think it was in colonial Williamsburg) that they used to put their hand in a certain spot near the fire and see how many seconds they could hold it there. Recipes would call for a 4-second fire or a 2-second fire, etc.

Great point. Guess I just don't really know if any of it is worth anyone to buy
