The cream would rehydrate them.

Jam is made with pureed fruit, while jelly is made from fruit juice. Colloquially, though, people use the terms interchangeably constantly.

I always hated the advice to make an L with your hands to see which one was Left. No one ever specified whether you’re supposed to have your palms facing you or facing away, so it’s ambiguous.

When I was a kid, I would picture a dining place setting because I knew the fork was on the left.

That article you linked was a really interesting read. Thanks!

I have it on pretty good authority that everyone

That’s where your comment went wrong. Just about everything that anyone claims “everyone” does is false. Maybe “lots of people,” “most people,” or even “by far, most people” do a thing, but literally “everyone”? BS.

I don’t like looking at breasts, and I have absolutely no interest in them.

You’re thinking of imaginary numbers. Irrational numbers are real numbers that have an infinite number of decimal places and don’t repeat.

“Thong” can mean a type of sandal, also known as flip-flops, but it’s also the name of a type of underwear or swimsuit bottom that’s basically a string in the back.

I grew up calling flip flops “thongs”, but as I got older, people were almost exclusively using that term for the underwear, so I switched terms to avoid confusion.

500 pages seems a bit much. In only 8 lines, it can be “proven” that 1 = 2.

/s, of course.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a medical intervention justified by observational data must be in want of verification through a randomised controlled trial.

This was a great read. Thanks.

That depends on how you define breasts. From Wikipedia:

The platypus’ mammary glands lack teats, with milk released through pores in the skin. The milk pools in grooves on the mother’s abdomen, allowing the young to lap it up.

Because eating less doesn’t require any effort.

Eating less takes a lot of effort for me because if I eat until I feel reasonably full, it’s actually too much food, and I gain weight. If I’m maintaining my weight, then I’m constantly hungry. If I’m losing weight, I feel like I’m starving.

I used to be pretty thin, even slightly underweight. Then I went on a medicine for a few months, and it completely ruined my appetite. I’m currently on a medicine for something unrelated that happens to curb my appetite, and it’s the only reason I’m not severely overweight.
