    I can’t fit one of my giant mitts in my tiny mouth let alone the two required to properly hold floss. I hate using the disposable floss picks because of the plastic waste. So for a long time I could just never floss properly unless I wanted to make a pile of plastic waste.

    I did get a water pick now though and that works nice. Also to all the people who say water picks don’t clean as well as floss I say, you may be right but also that thing can blast limescale off of my sink so I’m pretty sure it does a good enough job on my teeth.




  • Ok, but most of those shouldn’t even be considered hobbies. Like poker can be a hobby but if your hobby is just “gambling” then you probably have an issue. I guess your hobby could be porn if you’re in the kink scene and into making porn or something, but while watching porn is ok, if you consider watching porn a hobby then you may have an issue.


  • It’s that men don’t take a lot of pictures of themselves.

    I can’t speak for all men but I have a complete inability to look even remotely normal if I know a picture is being taken of me. I try to take profile pics and they all wind up awful and that’s not just my view. I showed my friend just to make sure it wasn’t just poor self image talking and they reacted like I was showing off a broken bone. I think the only way I’m going to get workable dating profile pics is if I have a friend take pictures of me without me noticing like I’m some sort of cryptid and they’retrying to capture proof.



  • Prostate exams actually aren’t recommended for most people anymore. It turns out they weren’t great at catching prostate cancer anyways. Now they only recomend them if you actually have a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors.

    But also I don’t think this is refering to pegging being a prostate exam. I’m fairly certain it’s refering to the fact that some studies have shown that regular prostate stimulation slightly reduces the risk of prostate cancer.











  • Unfortunately the degausing trick doesn’t work that well with newer higher capacity harddrives. As capacity increases they actually need to be less sensitive to magnetic fields to prevent multiple bits flipping when the drive head tries to write data. With modern multiterabyte harddrives you’re going to have a hard time reliably wiping the platters with anything short of an MRI magnetic field. That’s not to say smaller magnetic fields like degausing coils can’t be damaging; they will just take a long time to destroy enough of the data to prevent recovery. You’re actually more likely to break the drive heads with a degausing coil than you are to wipe the platters.
