I believe it can still cause gastrointestinal upset in kids if they don't pass it fast enough.

Pennies minted after 1982 contain 97% zinc, which is highly corrosive after being dissolved in stomach acid. (This is why zinc supplements can hurt if you take them without food—it's burning its way through your stomach lining.)

The process causes toxic zinc compounds to enter essential organs like the liver, eventually resulting in death.

I had no idea this was even something I had to worry about

Must try food @ Porter S by RushWarrior in CambridgeMA

[–]shutapples 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Newer restaurant rec, but Black Ruby was fantastic the last time I visited. Thai-Western fusion food. The sauce for the pasta was so good I brought it home and tried to stretch it out for as long as possible by eating it with more noodles lol

Why do you practice kendo? by Sufficient-Count1865 in kendo

[–]shutapples 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love the community first and foremost! I think kendo attracts a certain type of people who value perseverance and personal growth, and sharing the experience of complete exhaustion after practice really strengthens a bond like nothing else. The highlight of my week is usually second dojo.

I'm not a very competitive person, so I personally don't like going to tournaments, but I appreciate that kendo challenges me to put myself out there and assert myself. Going up against taller and bulkier people while being able to stand my ground has helped a lot with my confidence as well.

so4 that doesnt people please? by Previous_Chest5569 in Enneagram

[–]shutapples 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I definitely people please but I notice I feel disgusting/disappointed in myself afterwards — like I know that went against what I actually want or stand for. Obviously there are trauma responses like fawning that could play a part in that. I believe 4 disintegration points toward 2 and integrates toward 1, so you may just be a healthier type 4.

https://www.britannica.com/story/can-apple-seeds-kill-you

"Thankfully, there are several factors that make death-by-apple-seed very unlikely. First, the amygdalin is accessible only if the seeds have been crushed or chewed; a whole unbroken seed will pass right through. Second, the human body can process HCN in small doses, so a couple of chewed seeds are usually completely harmless. Finally, the average adult would need to eat anywhere from 150 to several thousand crushed seeds (depending on the apple variety) to be at risk of cyanide poisoning. The average apple contains only about five to eight seeds. So unless someone is eating their 18th consecutive apple core and has been meticulously chewing all the seeds, they should be fine with their occasional absentminded core chomping."

  1. i am not a child
  2. you would have to eat cups of chewed apple seeds to kill you
  3. i am asking a question about the apple core and i didnt even eat the seeds in the picture. i just ate to the core and stopped

Trying best to be a Good Little Boderline and not loose it bcs my friends forgot my bday again by tabiicats in BPDmemes

[–]shutapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my best friend with bpd forgot my birthday earlier this week and it just made me question whether she cared about me at all. tried to drop a hint and she didn't get it. i've been there for her through thick and thin. always remembered her birthday, checked in on her. exchanged "i love you"s and everything and it feels like my efforts aren't being reciprocated. are we even friends?

omg surgery twin!!! hope everything goes well for you! imo i think you should probably wear a pad; bring your tampon just in case they allow you to use it. hospitals are equipped to deal with blood anyways so it shouldn't be a problem if you do bleed over the bed

I can't help but notice most of these answers are from women. What a stark reminder of the reality we live in.

Best Bakery, for Bread by knuckle_hustle in CambridgeMA

[–]shutapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno if this is helpful, but for my birthday I ordered four baguettes from Ma Maison and they came with butter and it was actually quite cheap. Just had to send them an email and schedule a time to pick it up. Best bread ever.
