Stuff like "This is the right way to brush the teeth" is engagement bait. Don't forget that for a long time one of Reddit's biggest threads was a troll question asking the proper way to wipe after making GBS threads and then tens of thousands of morons jumped in to explain in detail how they wipe their assholes and then argue about it with each other.

I'm a disgusting person with a hacking gag reflex so when i inevitably get toothpaste on the back of my tongue so after brushing I sound like i'm coughing up a lung until I can scrape it off and rinse. Had a housemate once hear me in the bathroom and ask if I was dying and it was just like swallowing water wrong and struggling to explain to a concerned friend that you're fine and just an idiot.

Real pro tip is to brush before eating since brushing stimulates gums and removes plaque not food, and saliva and chewing are good at cleaning your teeth during a meal (but maybe not your breath), and the abrasion of brushing after eating increases the acidity and enamel deterioration of whatever you were eating.

This reminds me of an acquaintance I had who couldn't stand the smell of poo/poo poo to the point where it would make him retch, literally every single time. Even a fart would make him gag and he'd have to leave the room.

This included his own, so taking a poo poo was always an ordeal for him, poor guy lol.

I think you may be right, but it's still missing a bunch of stuff.

Regardless it's a classic example of someone omitting key details from something they thought was clever but failed to convey to everyone else

In summary, lol

No this was solved when it originally got posted a while back. I believe what she was trying to say was replace the S in Mrs with N to make it something registered nurse.

There is no right way to wipe because we didn't evolve to do it. Toilets and rear end wiping are unnatural and an affront to God's Plan.

That still requires information completely missing from the text, but it's also the closest we've gotten to a single piece of missing information, so I suppose that's probably it.

I love that dumb tweet because it always ends up sounding like we're translating an ancient manuscript or something.

Just plonk your rear end in a running stream for half an hour, the fish will take care of it.

Google isn't finding MRN as a nursing credential, so I don't think that's it. Let's argue about it for a few pages, though; that's a good use of time.

MRN is a medical research nurse, it's the first result for 'mrn nurse' on Google.

One nice thing about Mastodon is that it does make it easy to move your account from one instance to another. You export/import all your settings and whatnot, including who you're following, then you set the old account to redirect to the new one. All of your followers then automatically start following the new account.
