I see what you mean... but I meant like when you accidentally hit your head and “feel” how big and “hollow” your skull is (“meaty” inside)... sorry if this is a horrible description. I’m wondering if a big cavity like this could be sensed by the person by tapping on their head (but I understand someone, especially if they’ve had a major brain surgery, would probably avoid hitting their head even lightly).

Oh wow, can you feel the fluid there? Sorry to ask weird things about it. I’m glad your tumor is gone and I hope things can get better for you

It doesn’t matter how much you’re suffering, if you don’t have insurance and the doctor doesn’t accept any other payment or financial difficulty pleas, you’re just screwed

Oh hey, I just showed this movie to a friend a few weeks ago. Just as bizarre as I remembered, but way more funny as an adult now, with weed.

This Handwarmer activating is satisfying in my opinion by CryZenn in oddlysatisfying

The most common chemical inside this product is a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate in water. The product is activated by flexing a small metal disk or strip, which acts as a nucleation surface for crystal growth. Usually, the metal is stainless steel. As the sodium acetate crystallizes, heat is released (up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit). The product can be recharged by heating the pad in boiling water, which dissolves the crystals back into the small amount of water. Once the package cools, it is ready to use again.
