What do you use regularly that you probably shouldn't?

Super-Craig@reddit

Our company created a drug that effectively replaces sleep, though a more accurate description would be that it allows you to be asleep while awake. There are some Bioengineers taking it who haven't slept properly for months, and while there are no physical side effects to taking it, there is the question of the psychological toll it may have over an extended period of sustained use.

I agree! After commenting, I did the same and I noticed they mention eugenics a lot… that with all the heavy hinting at sperm donation is a bit yikes. It’s mentioned way too often to be a typo of genomics. Likely a fantasist.

There's absolutely no way that naming the drug wouldn't be against company protocol.

Although. Considering he dodged my question for more information on the drug it's most likely that he doesn't know much about the drug beyond it's effects.

With or without using our drug? Regardless of which, I don't know the answer to either question.

Wandering_ENTJ@reddit

I know it's naive to think that you know everything. But this is the first time I've ever seen you not know the answer to something. It's even the first time I've seen you uncertain enough to use 'may' in your analysis.

It's probably against company protocol, but is there anything more you could tell me about the drug?

[-]

Super-Craig@reddit

You think far too highly of me. You could fill every bookshop and library in the world twice over with all the things that I don't know.

DotCottonsHandbag@reddit

I got one of those Bluetooth ear camera things a few weeks ago and it turns out I’ve got no ear wax in my lugholes - quite literally none whatsoever. I think it might be because I’ve got the dry earwax gene, and although I do use cotton buds maybe once or twice a week, it’s only immediately after the shower if I’ve got that horrible wet feeling in my ears.

Do love a good cotton bud in the ear, though, feels amazing!

Shampoo.

You shouldn'r shampoo more than a couple times a week... but I feel so dirty doing that

[-]

insanityarise@reddit

I used to have lovely long hair, but terrible dandruff for years, we always used head & shoulders too, but I always just had a dry scalp.

At some point I just stopped shampooing my hair completely, and just used regular soap once a week and rinsed it every day, my scalp completely cleared up.

It eventually fell out and now I'm completely bald on top, but I believe the cause of that was stress, drug use, poor diet and sleeping patterns, not the lack of shampoo.

I swear mine catches oil in the air, because when I’m at home I’m a greasy mess after a day, in Wisconsin I stayed relatively clean even after 3 days without a shower (was on the go

[-]

Noon_Specialist@reddit

It's probably due to a change in diet, but it could be exercise, product misuse, humidity, heat, etc.

[-]

jemjabella@reddit

Hardness of the water can make a difference. I have super hard water at home and my hair feels pretty gross after 24hrs. If I go somewhere with soft water it takes days to feel the same level of 'grease'.

[-]

Jacktheforkie@reddit

I see

[-]

Noon_Specialist@reddit

Even the oiliest scalp can go 3 days. By washing every day you're causing an overproduction of oil. Additionally, many people seem to believe that any amount of oil in their hair is detrimental, which isn't true.

[-]

weatherillj09@reddit

I genuinely want to know the context to this, because I have no idea if its bad me just quickly washing my hair every day when I shower. I have short hair and, while it looks fine not being washed it does feel noticeably different if I leave it a day, and after two days it definitely feels like it needs washing.

[-]

Noon_Specialist@reddit

Make sure you use conditioner, air dry, and avoid heavy products/overusing products. Try washing every 3 days. Most people can get away with once a week after a few months. If you're worried your shampoo and conditioner are causing an issue, try Aveeno.

[-]

fickle_tartan@reddit

There's not really a context to it, everyone is different so there's no hard rules for how often someone should wash their hair. Just do whatever works for you.

When I was a kid we had a stone/ceramic hot water bottle. Probably the health and safety today would go mental over it. But stayed hot for ages, kept your feet nice and toasty in the winter months. I never knew they had to be replaced, my daughter had a Simba one that she had from about 6 years old. She used it up until about 3 years ago and she's nearly 30, oops.

[-]

PuhskintiEnjoyer@reddit

Morrisons absolutely do! I end up with so many from them as they hand over everything in bags by default. They're even categorised for freezer, chilled etc. You can hand them back next time and they refund you a few pennies per, which is great. I used to order from Asda and I'll never miss the rush at the door to quickly lob everything into my house without bags whilst the driver waits (not assisting, like you said). Never again!

I think your answer to OP’s question should be ‘real’

The nasal spray that you are not meant to use consecutively. I have cut down a lot and replaced it with sustainable ones but it's not as good.

I warm myself with my hairdryer. I try not to hold it still for too long so the heat isn't too concentrated but, as I've failed in my attempts on multiple occasions, I've now got several synthetic dressing gowns and throws with small burn marks that look like oddly symmetrical blim holes.

This is a really fucking stupid thing to do and I'm fully aware that it's a really fucking stupid thing to do.

My old knackered pillow <3 tried a fancy new one once, worst night of sleep ever. Head was at like a 45° angle, how can anyone he comfortable like that. And some maniacs even use two!

I bought a new one, took half the stuffing out, but nah I've returned to pillowless sleeping. Sounds awful but works for me

I use two pillows and sandwich my head between them with one arm over the top pillow and the other arm under the bottom pillow. It's the only way I can go to sleep.

Good delivery.

My mum died in Jan and I essentially had a nervous breakdown. Between not sleeping, new anti anxiety medication and just generally being generally exhausted I order in far too much.

Yes I know full well it's dumb, yes it's probably collecting data on me, yes I could just buy a notebook and write a fan fiction but it's like I can live out those silly make believe games again

I let my chores pile up, then over caffeinate to the point of feeling blood go through my veins to get them done, then ignore me chores for another week

I still use the one my mum gave me when I went to uni, so at least 42 years old, probably older. Like everything else, stuff from the Old Days was made to last in a way that modern stuff isn't. The whole "replace it every year" is just Big Hot Water Bottle talking. (Yes, I know they do split and people do get scalded, but I bet they're all newer ones.)

Yikes! Got more than expected.

I'm online way too much! As for the hot water bottle, please replace it. I keep hearing stories about people ending up with permanent burns - leaking, oozing, agonising burns - because they didn't replace their bottle. The rubber will degrade over time even if it's not visible.
