It isn’t. Soap is the salt of a fatty acid, sodium lauryl sulfate is a salt, but not of a fatty acid. Both are surfactants (meaning it breaks surface tensions), but have some different properties. A relevant difference in cosmetics is that SLS strips oils waaay better, which can damage your skin barrier and your hair. For some people it works fine, for others it’s too harsh and soap is better. (For me it damages my hair structure and thus makes my waves lackluster, but is fine in shower gel)

Also 172/5’8 and same, several times! Even from me who were still taller than me! Also dated someone who didn’t care and was 175/5’9 and when we went out together and my shoes made me taller than him, we’d get an average of like 10 comments, all from men, about it. Lots of friends have told me their only slightly taller ex bf wouldn’t ‘let’ them wear heels.

Also, on a dating app, I’d get about 50/50 matches from masc and fem people when I didn’t list my height. When I did list it, I’d get mostly fem ones, and all the masc ones were tall. And fewer matches overall.

How people can look at (mostly) state owned rail vs private airlines and still think the free market benefits the average person is one of life’s big mysteries to me.

I threw a like 2x2x2 cm chunk of lithium in water once and the reaction is much weaker than a mint on some cola. So if anything, it’ll be the electric shorting that causes a reaction, the lithium won’t be all that interesting.

I have a darkish friend

How did it take until this to for me to realise this is a troll

Of you don’t mind explaining, how? I can only code for maths purposes, but this sounds cool

You’re just afraid she’ll like it too much. My partners pecs look great in a bra.

Hate when my sims come to life

Hm, depends how ‘breaking down’ is defined. Because it usually doesn’t mean there’s no toxic substance left. Instead, plastic degradation often IS the formation of micro or nano plastics. In this case, it’s irrelevant how long this process takes without knowing how long it takes until there’s no toxicity left.

Also, if something is described as ‘biodegradable’, I wouldn’t blame a consumer for composting it. And if it actually poisons the compost, that’s net harm. So, it’d be actively harmful green washing.

Why not just drink it black then? To be fair, creamer isn’t a thing where I’m from.

One time my French teacher came into the statistics crash course I was teaching. The uno reverse of learning.

They tried to figure out which one of my sensory issues is tied to which one of my traumata. I’m autistic.

That’s so fascinating!

Wait is that possible? I’d donate my uterus in a heart beat. But I thought since organ transplants are a big deal and you have to be on immuno suppressants for life if you have one, among other issues, the receiver wouldn’t be able to safely be pregnant.

Somehow the funniest part is that this isn’t anywhere near as painful as a bad period, and the pain doesn’t last for days at a time either.

No offense, but this post is sort of crazy to me because I’ve read a bunch of comments explaining how it actually happens, and id categorize all of them as normal results of critical thinking. As in, you could’ve answered your own question with some critical thinking.

But like, most people have headphones nowadays. You can very easily just blast it in your ears.

Genuinely I’m sometimes wondering if this behavior of annoying everyone in public with your music or game or call or whatever is just ignorant, attention seeking, or straight up trying to provoke and get a reaction out of people

To this day I don’t understand this. My therapist used to ask this so many times and every time I was like:?? In my brain??? Where thoughts and feelings live???

Can someone explain?

Edit: the fact that you nice people here were able to make me understand this question and my therapist did not reinforces why I stopped going!

Partner and I are the same! They begrudgingly do the dishes while I absolutely loathe them, and vice versa with the laundry.
