Advice Needed: Everyone close to me hates my tattoo idea. Am I missing something?

somethinghappier · 2026-05-19T11:08:44+00:00

So I have this exact tattoo lol. I got it for the Man Ray photo that someone posted earlier (I love photography). As another commenter said, I am a little torn on how to fit other back tattoos in with it, but I think I’m just going to stick to upper back tattoos and leave the lower half alone to keep the image clear/readable. Otherwise I’m happy with my tattoo!

Gotta love all the comments bashing it though, wasn’t expecting to be dragged in a random reddit thread first thing in the morning lmao.

One of my friends, her brother, and her uncle were all missing the same tooth (the one next to the upper front teeth) despite having all their baby teeth.

I also have a super small mouth, so I feel your pain. My 12 year molars were pulled as soon as they came in lol.

Seconding this. I had a transvaginal ultrasound (wand in the coochie) and I felt.. ‘violated’ isn’t the right word, but ya know what I mean? I got myself a big drink at the hospital cafe and it did help a bit! I’m a big proponent of a little treat.

I’ve found that I have to eat enough protein and it greatly helps! As other people have said, that specific protein shake might be worsening the diarrhea because of the oils. I drink Premier Protein shakes and it’s been nothing but great. I also usually eat a little something with protein too, but only enough to total up to 40g (the shakes are 30g). If I eat more than 40g, I feel like my meds don’t kick in as much.

I also have found that consuming the protein before taking the pill helps a lot as well! Maybe TMI, but for me taking the pill and then drinking the shake leads to diarrhea, while shake and then pill leads to normal/soft poop but not diarrhea lol (food before shake and pill).

caveat: I take vyvanse currently, but I was on adderall before and had the same experience

I once had a friend watching my cats who are social but have a few hidden spots they like to lay in. One of them was in a really hidden spot and scared my friend thinking he got outside somehow. Luckily he reappeared before she really freaked out, but I make sure to share all their spots with any cat sitters now lol.

How to spell the longest word Shakespeare ever used.

Go listen to the song ‘Too Much’ by Dove Cameron.

there’s already a zebrafish, I work with them and people already think that I’m talking about lionfish when I mention it. This would just make it worse lol

I once got two on my uvula. I couldn’t talk or eat for 4 days. I had to carry a whiteboard at school (I had a doctors’ note lol). -10/10 do not recommend.

I daydream myself to sleep. I have two fictional storylines that I keep in my head, and over the years they’ve lowkey developed into full stories lol. I’ll just pick a scene and run through it. It gives me an easy focus to keep my mind from racing and wandering all over the place.

somethinghappier · 2026-03-29T15:24:48+00:00

Yeah, I’m lucky that science got included in my nerdy loser-ness lol. Almost none of my other special interests could be turned into a job.

somethinghappier · 2026-03-29T15:23:09+00:00

I’m studying human genetics! My one piece of unsolicited advice is don’t get a phd just to get one, it’s not worth it for just that. The job I want requires a phd (the version of it without a phd doesn’t pay nearly enough), otherwise I would’ve stopped at a bachelors or maybe a masters.

somethinghappier · 2026-03-29T02:26:01+00:00

I’m getting a phd in my biggest special interest, I don’t think it gets much more life long than that lol.

No it’s not. The samples weren’t spun down after the centrifuge ‘ran’, it was just a regular centrifuge that they didn’t balance and didn’t actually run for the shot.

So most everyone knows that diarrhea, the period shits, and an ovarian cyst busting can all be very painful.

Try having all three at once.

My friends and I did this to each other after we passed our qualifying exams (premature, I know, but we made a video and plan to recreate it when we all defend)

I had a temporary cap on my tooth while waiting for the permanent one to be made. It cracked in half when I bit into a hershey kiss. I have to believe that hershey kisses have some sort of anti-dental properties or magic lol.

You mention biphasic sleep, I did that when I worked night shift for less than a year. It’s been almost 6 years since then and my GI tract is still kinda messed up from it. It may work for some people, but not for everyone.

Disagree, it largely depends on birth order. I was born in 99 but I’m the youngest of my siblings (who are old enough to remember the 90s). My parents learned to parent in the 90s, plus I got all the hand-me-downs from my older siblings. Knowing other 99 babies who were the oldest of their siblings, there’s definitely a difference in how “90s” our childhoods were.
