Non Serviam posted:These include putting a sock inside of a coffee mug and the microwaving it (no idea what this accomplished), I've seen this before, actually, and it's to give yourself warm socks for cold nights. I'm not sure how well it works, but I assume that it's in a mug because the ceramic will actually be heated around it. I'm not sure a sock in a microwave would be heated well at all on it's own.

Same reason that infomercials have a few seconds of black-and-white clips of people doing stupid poo poo. They need to let you know what dumb problem they're trying to solve, because it's very rarely a problem that needs any further solving. bunnyofdoom posted:Real protip: Stick to hard liquor instead.

zedprime posted:Chiropractic is good for getting a massage while working toward your insurance deductible but that's an extremely white middle class lifehack. And you need to watch out of the ones who start touching things above the shoulders because they are probably going to break your neck or knock an artery loose. Results not guaranteed below the shoulders either because I had a friend limp away from a chiropractic session with dislocated ribs. There are also people the believe chiropractic also has healing capabilities beyond pain relief, I think. Like, if you've got a genuine sickness, getting your spine adjusted semi-regularly will somehow cure you of this. It really straddles the line of fairly helpful and potentially dangerous, and it all comes down to the what person performing it believes it can do.

But now that I'm looking it up, holy poo poo: "Wikipedia: Chiropractic controversy and criticism posted:Chiropractors historically were strongly opposed to vaccination based on their belief that all diseases were traceable to causes in the spine, and therefore could not be affected by vaccines.
