It's a minor tragedy that the rise of objectively superior induction heaters means that we have to ditch aluminum cookware, which are effectively enshitification-proof. They are far from the best, but at least they are reliably consistent.

The only reason they suck is you can't put them directly on a burner. Otherwise, they kick total rear end.

Seconding teen witch on this, I recently got a new bottle and I dilute it a good bit to use as hand soap. Still reasonably tingly even hand washing with it.

A few years ago I had to go to the ER for a chemical burn on my eye because I dropped my (undiluted) Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap on the shower floor an a stream shot directly into my eye.

Also I couldn't use it on my balls or taint because it burned very badly. Not sure if they changed it but it sure as hell burned a few years ago.

In other news, after talking it over with friends, an idea re: google making GBS threads up their search:

My amazing plan:

1: Find some search terms that no advertiser wants to see their brand next to, but made of words people might legitimately search, like "gay nazis". Find a few, this could take a while.

2: Search indirectly for big brands also using the terrible terms from earlier, e.g.: "burger restaurant gay nazis" or whatever. Feel free to use operators to make this work, that won't matter.

3: Try to get your screenshot of gay nazi mcdonald's to go viral. If at first you don't succeed, that's what the other terms you thought of are for, like "jizz coated nestle" and "poo poo on my chest azure web services" or whatever.

4: Eventually it will get enough attention - maybe not a lot but enough - for the advertisers to force google to suspend promoted searches on those keywords, regardless of operators. The advertisers are not going to care about any weird squiggles or brackets or booleans, and a giant NOT would just look like protesting too much.

5: You can now search normally by typing your normal poo poo plus your magic words, for example:
train schedule new york NOT "gay nazis". No advertisers will want to touch it. Although obviously it can't fix the search genuinely sucking by itself.

ur welcome

I didn't dilute it because I used it as a body wash. So it's going onto a loofah that has a ton of water all over it so no big deal right? If it's too much, then just hold it under the shower more! Easy!

I was looking at the bottle as it fell to the floor in slow motion and had an "oh poo poo" thing going on and when the bottom hit I saw the stream go directly into my eye. That drive to the ER sucked.

Yeah... I'm guessing you severed all of your nerve endings down there.



The gently caress if I'm paying $500+ to go a couple of miles. I have the VA but that's a 45 minute drive on the interstate in a metro area so I figured that'd be much more dangerous. Thankfully they now cover local emergency stuff for instances just like that but it's a pain sometimes because it's not like flashing an insurance card. You have to make phone calls and hope the local hospital does there part and poo poo like that.

Remember when they disabled the “+” operator because it conflicted with their Google+ branding?

They killed the site five years ago but never brought back the operator.

the "burning" that people think dr bronner's has isn't anything dangerous or unique to that brand. it's just what real soap feels like. most "soap" isn't soap, it's a sulfate-based detergent
