i recently realised i've started automatically assuming online health warnings don't apply to me, based on how 90% of the tumblr ones are US-specific despite not saying that anywhere in the post. this doesn't seem ideal, so might i suggest labelling an alarming health-related post with what country or countries it applies to, in instances where it's not true everywhere?

#it's not just health posts that do that obvs but that's the ones that potentially causing an issue of “ignore this - it can't mean me”#that said OH MY GOD the journey of my face when i first read that post about bathing your laundry monthly to remove “the residue” D:#(although that post/replies did suggest adding chemicals that would destroy the rubber seal on a front-loading washing-machine so...)#context helps! for instance i am fully aware that i myself cannot turn up at my usual polling station tomorrow to vote for a president.#however “all pork has glass in it by the way” is NOT obviously untrue if there's no geographical area specific and i somehow don't know #about one specific country filling pigs with glass for cultural reasons or due to a lack of regulation on glass-based pig food.#(don't feel bad guys nobody buys UK beef any more because we used to feed cows the brains of sick animals *yikes emoji*)
