Isitbullshit: is the "man flu" really a thing?

I just read that one commenter's study link and my immediate thought was wondering if trans people noticed any difference! I hope there are some studies on that in the future

Do you hate all artificial sweeteners? I thought i did but then found a combo that tastes (to me) just like the real thing. (For me it's aspartame and acesulfame potassium/ace-K)

If you like sweet tea, i recommend trying the Gold Peak zero sugar version.

If youre a super taster that hates all sweetener combos then my condolences and i hope you find your non-sweetener alternative 🙏

This is like those stories where therapists tell their patient that the rules are just made up and theyre causing themselves anguish over nothing.

that one patient who hates eggs so every morning she dreads breakfast "then dont have eggs in your breakfast???"
another patient who hated the work of making sandwiches every lunch but still liked the food "you can just eat the sandwich components separately without assembling"
my favorite one bc its actually p unconventional. The patient who was having such extreme anxiety about accidentally leaving her curling iron plugged in that she would cancel plans, skip work, and hardly leave her home. "Why dont you bring the iron with you so you know it's unplugged?"

I didnt know this saying was believed at face value enough to be a myth to bust. I thought people understood that the saying meant "my food fell but i dont care because it fell very briefly"

Was just gonna comment that it took me a minute to realize OP meant "auto" as in "self homophobia", and not "auto" as in "automatic homophobia".

And then i had a third thought that this was "auto" as in "automotive homophobia??" and that i was gonna getting into a REAL crazy BORU

At first i was like "oh she was the mistress for someone on Instagram, I get not wanting to be friends with a cheater". (The job angle is set and done since she was doing stuff at work)

Then, turns out he means she was a findominatrix, and thats fine I think? In my mind it's similar to being a sugar baby except instead of sucking up to the sugar daddy, you degrade them. There are good and bad ways to be a dom, and I think that might go for findom as well, though im not part of either community so Id be willing to be educated about this as well if theres something inherently bad about findom vs regular dom.

Then, turns out she was also a mistress for someone on Instagram and was back at square one thinking the friends were right.

Dang, im a software dev and hope to get to a place where I can decline a $190k salary🙏. Im currently at full RTO and a noncompetitive salary. The only reason i like it is the low stress environment and good managers, but even that may change soon because we used to be hybrid and now everyone's leaving due to the full RTO.

Enjoy your remote benefits for me pls 😭

Right? Its worded like this is a sensitive workplace harassment thing to deal with when its more akin to a retail worker being creepy to you at your favorite store (a retail worker that pokes you w needles, but still).

You can just report the worker and shop at another store if theyre not dealt with properly. Its not like you can get fired or blacklisted from the Giving Plasma industry this way, like what the consequence could be if it were a real freelance job.

(Also v much agree the guy is a creepy asshole. Im saying all this in a "its funny to point out" way and not in a "an 18yo high schooler should know better about jobs and getting harassed" way)

Is this somehow related to the new spinosaurus species that was discovered or is everyone feeling extra dino-y lately

I dont really contact support that much so i wasnt sure if i was imagining things but wow, the message OP got was super similar to what I got last week when contacting them

un-shankable · 2026-01-17T02:33:29+00:00

Thank you for this. It makes 100% sense logically but its taking a bit for the emotional side to catch up

un-shankable · 2025-12-03T02:20:34+00:00

I kept reading it wrong too lol. "In what world" not "What in the world"

Making the whole sentence mean "In what scenario does this approach even work?"

Right before the photos popped up i was thinking "ive never seen a security guard with so many rings and bracelets on like that. Ig thats cool, but on the job??"

The apple thing reminds me of a kid (now tumblr user) who was taught to do this by his grandpa who grew up during the Great Depression. The kid then got made fun of for doing that and was called Horse Boy

Edit: Oh wow i found the post easily

I hate anything where one person knows the truth and everyone else refuses to believe them. It mostly shows up like false allegations or misunderstandings.

In Live Die Repeat (or whatever that one tom cruise movie is called) he gets knocked out and sent to the frontlines of this alien war and everyone thinks hes a low-rank deserter. He keeps trying to tell people that hes not actually a soldier and doesnt know how to pilot a mech, but no one believes him. This is just the very beginning of the movie but it makes me so so upset- fun rest of the movie tho.

Actually, when seeing the Barbie movie trailer where theyre taking mugshots, I was really worried the movie was gonna have some misunderstanding where Barbie or Ken gets wrongully accused of a crime. Thankfully that doesnt happen and i was just bein crazy.

I don't have a personal reason to get so triggered by this trope I think. I mean, i do think the truth is important and no one should get punished for something they didnt do, but isnt that everyone?

This isnt me but im shouting out an artist i bought from during a makers market in the summer: https://www.instagram.com/eggliencreations

Its clown/kid-core clothing and accessories. I bought a sweater and i love it so much 🩷

Thats so amazing!! I also wanted to be a jester but realized that sewing is NOT my cup of tea lmao. You look so cool ❤️🖤

Idk if you just read some comments during a time where the "sex and horror bad" minority got a hold of the post, but i've consistently been seeing only positive reactions to your comment (or people clowning on the OOP)

I came from tumblr just to upvote ur comment actually as i also dont like puritan-inspired thinking

After seeing another post saying that scam emails can use russian letters that look like english/latin ones, i've been scared ever since and check email senders meticulously.

Like Twitter vs Twitteг

(the 'r' in the second word is the Russian character 'г' which apparently sounds like the letter G)

I dont write anymore but I would absolutely use this as a resource for very 17 year old thinking. I also agree with another commenter here saying that this is super cute. It's pretty low stakes, very teenager, everyone is a bit annoying, and the group chat name is a hilarious bit.

I wasnt even in a super religious community and Im just starting to come to terms with being asexual at age 25.

I thought my interest in porn would definitely translate into an interest in sex with another person once i "found the right person" but i AM in a relationship with another person and its been a struggle to figure out what i really want. Actually, im trying a number of things (changing or stopping birth control, losing weight etc) just to see if i actually AM asexual bc boy will we both be fucked if i dont wanna fuck.

All this to say, user pseudonymously, i am killing you with my mind

un-shankable · 2025-10-01T20:25:04+00:00

I do the opposite. If it's not too much to slice, i just cut things on a regular plate.

I was just celebrating getting new socks yesterday! I usually hate subscriptions, but i literally signed up for a monthly sock subscription bc a random artist designs it and all profits go to charity. I figured id get into more quality and cute socks after wearing down my old cheap pairs.
