I remembered hearing that rubbing garlic or onion on your feet can leech the aromatics and give you garlic/onion breath, but trying to find a primary resource for that has led to a lot of "STUDIES HAVE SHOWN! THEY SAY! ONE WEIRD TRICK TO TASTE GARLIC WITHOUT EATING IT!" It's on several mom blogs as proof that everything we put on our skin circulates so that's why deodorant is evil.

Guess it's time to buy some Vidalias for research purposes.

So if I put weed in my socks I can get high but they can't prove it (unless they check my socks)?

You absorb it through your feet, so you get wasted, plus the alcohol kills the bacteria, making your feet not smell. WALLA! #stankfoothax

I thought it was going to be a hack of "change your text color from black to dark blue" or "here's how to inject ink into your cartridge" but amazingly it ends up being even more worthless.

My friend the doctor tells me it it's not at all uncommon that printer manufacturers put heroin instead of ink into the cartridges, or so the smackheads believe, and then whole batches of smurfs come in for treatment.

I don't know what state of the art is but I think its mixing up several inkjet print hacks. If your printer was printing just fine a page ago and your print management software pops up saying hey I'm empty, its based on a counter in the cartridge circuits that isn't perfect. There's been various ways to reset them including shorting across contacts or outright reset buttons, but I don't know if any of that is current.

If your prints look like that first picture, you might be truly running out, but the print head might also just be getting gummed up if you're anything like me and print stuff once a year. Sometimes you can fix it with rubbing alcohol and a qtip and a good scrub. Sometimes its gummed up further in the cartridge.

Inkjet cartridges are awful.

One of my earliest memories is of a time I went on a day trip to the city with my parents. Had a fancy dinner in Chinatown, probably did some other touristy things, gently caress if I know. My most vivid memory of the entire night was taking a bath when I got home and vomiting strawberry ice cream into a trashcan. I don't even remember getting ice cream.. just it coming back up, and thinking it tasted exactly the same as it did going down.

Lifehack: build lasting memories by being violently ill! :sigh:

What up, early childhood vomit trauma buddy.

When I was 3-4, my parents took me to Olive Garden (we were hella broke back then so Olive Garden was a big deal) and let me have all the breadsticks my tiny fists could jam into my mouth. Needless to say I ate way to goddamn many, self control isn't really like a thing for toddlers, and made it to the parking lot before launching and absolute cannon of pink vomit (breadsitcks + marinara) onto myself, the side of the car, inside of the car, and my poor mother. I was wearing a blue dress, black shoes, and white socks. It is one of my earliest memories and to this day I can't go back to Olive Garden, I think I'll have some kind of Pavlov's dog response if I eat anything.

when I was very young, I threw up exactly one mushroom. I vividly remember this to the point that I decided I must have imagined it as a reason for hating mushrooms, because nobody that young remembers anything that clearly, right?

I was having dinner with my mother recently and I declined to eat something with mushrooms. she then tells the table about the time I threw up exactly one mushroom.

Wait, did you throw up a whole, untarnished mushroom? Or did you throw up after eating one mushroom?

Cause one of them I owe you a beer, and the other I'm throwing you in the locker for.

I ate a sliced mushroom in something; like the kind you'd see on a cartoon pizza. Later, it came back up intact.

Aside from everything else, this is clearly bullshit. Onions produce syn-propanethiol-S-oxide, not phosphoric acid.

Interestingly, if I try to find out whether they actually have phosphoric acid, all I find is sites touting the same bullshit remedy. So one person got it wrong and then it spread like gospel.
