Ooohhhhh my god I can't believe

Homeopathy? For real? You're telling me to take a pill/cream from the people who believe that water has a memory?

Just in case anyone needs a refresher on this bullshit:

Homeopathy is based on the law of similars (‘like cures like’) which states that a substance that causes specific symptoms in a healthy person can be used to treat those symptoms in a sick person. Remedies undergo a process called ‘potentization’ which describes stepwise dilution from the ‘mother tincture’ combined with ‘succession’ (vigorous shaking). The underlying assumption is that the more dilute a remedy the greater its potency, even though according to Avogadro's number, with potencies beyond 12C (12 centesimal dilutions) the chance of a single molecule remaining in the final solution tends to the infinitesimal.

TL;DR: If you were bitten by a snake, homeopathy would try to cure you by giving you the venom from the snake. But don't worry! They also believe that diluting the active ingredient makes it more potent!

"As world-renowned scientific skeptic James Randi put it: 'this would be tantamount to grinding a grain of rice into tiny particles, dissolving it in a sphere of water the size of our Solar System, and then repeating this process about 2 billion times.' One of the ways by which followers of homeopathy deal with such criticism is their claim that water retains a memory of the substance: even after it is gone its properties are embedded in the water molecules."

my cats causing constant trouble is keeping me up... Love those guys but Oh My God

Oils dissolve silicone, right? If I got a silicone bowel to hold the water that cleans my paintbrushes, I wouldn't be able to use my (water miscible, meaning I don't need paint thinner or mineral spirits) oil paints in it, yeah?

I can’t believe the skin cream i’ve had that causes the least acne and makes my skin pillowy but not greasy is a family dollar exclusive……. i’ve impulse-bought a lot of lotions but the one that i was pretty unsure about prevailed

I have. genuinely never hated a book to movie adaption as much as I hate the movie version of the hunger games

[piplupod]

note to self: no matter how difficult it is, do NOT leave the instant pot that u cooked meat in out for almost an entire year and then finally wash it because you WILL get scarily close to throwing up while finally cleaning it out after soaking it because it WILL smell uncomfortably similar to maceration water (because it is almost that tbh)

I was looking for a mild, fragrance free soap that wouldn't irritate my skin and Dr. Bronner's is truly a GOD SEND. It thoroughly cleaned my face and left it feeling super soft. I love this stuff 🥰

algorithm based apps are so exhausting to use btw cause they keep shoving things you won’t like in your face to make you upset and keep you there enough to type a response. me myself i like unfollowing accounts to curate my experience but obviously i’m in the minority here

Lol ok so I just read a scene in a story where a character needs to summon a local wizard and is like “let me grab what we need” and then just grabs a dish sponge for the summoning spell, and it made me wonder if magical spells that require various mundane items and ingredients would still work if you just threw the entire contents of your junk drawer into a summoning circle. As long as the few REQUIRED items are among the clutter your spell should theoretically work, right? As long as your intentions are clearly set. could I just do a spell over my overfull trash can after roast chicken night to save the effort of gathering various herbs and the bones of a bird?

[botanyshitposts]

so many creatures putting SO much effort into putting ‘special’ fluids that TOTALLY aren’t water through every organ possible to clean them so they can use them again 2 seconds later. like why not simply sit on a damp substrate and pull water through your body by evaporating the extra out pores in your leaves lmaoooo
