quote:I'm a high school senior. I'm what you would call a mischievous student. I bought a magnet. It's a pretty big magnet. Pretty cool looking magnet. Pretty loving strong magnet. I brought said magnet to school. I showed all my friends. Wed a little "Test Your Strength" booth that the security guards took part in. Point was to take it off a locker. Fun stuff. I had the magnet in my hand. I should've had it in the cardboard protective wrap. I walked into English Class and went straight to my teacher's desk to ask a question. I forgot I was holding said magnet. Said magnet jumps out of my hand and attaches to the drawer. All metal in the drawer jumped to where the magnet was stuck. There were CDs in the drawer. The stuff that flew must've scratched and cracked some CDs. CDs were unreadable. I was laughing too hard to take it off the desk. The substitute teacher was too weak to pry it off. He called maintenance to remove the magnet. Then security to remove me. I now have a Saturday School Detention and am facing a suspension for "destruction of property." I feel bad so I'll replace the CDs.

Makes up a story about wrecking poo poo with a magnet, doesn't even know that magnets gently caress up CDs and assumes they must have gotten cracked somehow. Even ten year olds know you don't put magnets near CDs or computers.

A CD is a piece of plastic with valleys etched into it to denote 1s and 0s and is not magnetic in any way

Pacemakers get turned off by magnets, as well. But assuming a 10th grader knows this is giving too much credit.

They just had to add the poo poo cherry on top of that stdh sundae with the "they had sex too lol what a bunch of sluts" bit at the end. Plus I highly doubt poison ivy is even physically capable of doing that. Even if you soaked the car in concentrated extract of whatever the poison stuff is in poison ivy, I'd be surprised if it wouldn't just evaporate within an hour.

Urushiol is actually some pretty nasty stuff - it can take 50 micrograms of purified urushiol to induce a rash, which means even brushing against a leaf can be enough. Coating a surface that someone's going to grip firmly would definitely do something, as long as they're not immune. It's also an oil, so it lingers for quite a while - it's generally not safe to touch even a dead vine, unless you know it's been at least a year, preferably several. (I live in an area with a ton of poison ivy - both plant and vine - so I know most of this from personal experience!) The story still didn't happen, though.

Doesn't it take at least two days to show symptoms? So the story is doubly bullshit with it happening overnight. It's also not an ivy. And given that it's an allergic reaction I'd say it's not even poison. loving plants.

Strom Cuzewon posted:Doesn't it take at least two days to show symptoms? So the story is doubly bullshit with it happening overnight. Nah, you can have a rash in the evening if you went out in the afternoon. This one is technically possible, but it seems unlikely anyone posting sweet-rear end revenge stories on tumblr could identify a poison ivy plant, much less locate one in the wilderness. Plus they had to go for the extra gusto, and make fun of the ~*Awful Sex Havers*~. Trying to show that people different than you are bad/worse is a common theme in these stories.

I think the unspoken point of the story is that the writer is not a Sex-Haver and is mad at the Sex-Havers for being Sex-Havers, so now they deserve poison ivy rashes--a thing that, if this weren't STDH, would be unreasonably cruel to do to anyone no matter what they did to you.

ReidRansom posted:Most humans. Not all. I'm immune. Maybe as many as 30% are, apparently. Me too, which led to an awkward moment with a friend after we were out hiking. (The next day my phone rings. It's my friend Wally. "How you doing today?" "Fine. What's up?" "You son of a bitch." Turns out at one point we were climbing up the side of a steep hill and grabbing on to pretty much any apparently well-rooted plant life to help. Wally figured he would grab what I grabbed, as I had previously been a state of California trained brush firefighter. It looks like I had grabbed poison oak at at least one point during the ascent.) FAKE EDIT: I REALLY am the STDH!

Initial immunity generally isn't permanent (unless it's acquired through working in a cashew factory or something like that) - repeat exposure generally increases sensitivity. My grandfather had a patient who was immune to poison ivy up until the point he proved it to his friends by eating a leaf.

It's the same with bee stings. People think that you build up a tolerance by becoming exposed to it more but it's the exact opposite. A sting can go from a mild annoyance to a severe medical problem.

Even if the child meant to lay down some sick burns. All that would come out would be awkward poorly formed words and the adults would barely pay attention. Never mind that this story requires knowing background information to even get the burn.

Yeah, it's just a British thing. It sounds very affected if you're from like anywhere else.

A sting can go from a mild annoyance to a severe medical problem. I think part of it is people mix up building up a pain tolerance with building up a tolerance to being allergic to something. The "Suddenly, you're allergic!" lottery is a rare but annoying part of being alive
