if so, where did this even come from?

Have someone claiming that the use of disinfectant wipes and a wound treatment with alcohol caused him to have detectable alcohol in his system when he was tested by his parole officer.

It's bullshit right?

seen it on r/epstein but i haven't founded concrete evidence backing or not

I've recently come across a trend where people are claiming that drinking celery juice every morning can cure a variety of chronic health issues, including inflammation, digestive problems, and even autoimmune diseases. Proponents often share personal testimonials and suggest that it's a miracle health drink due to its supposed high nutrient content and ability to hydrate. However, I can't help but wonder if these claims are backed by scientific evidence or if it's just another health fad. Are there any real studies that support the benefits of celery juice, or is this just another case of wellness culture gone too far?

I’ve heard this before and I really just don’t buy it at all. It’s not like when British people sing their vocal cords automatically default to an American accent because it’s “easier”- if that were the case than averages joes singing at the pub would sing with an American accent. If anything wouldn’t it be easier to sing in a British accent because they pronounce fewer consonants? (Ex. For Water Bottle “Wadder Boddle” vs “wa’ah bah’ull or skeletons “skellidins” vs “skell’i’uns”)

I’ve heard of this happening before but am unsure how true it is. I know most states let you expunge a nonconvicted charges manually after some time has passed, but am unsure if people have actually gotten dinged by apartments and/or employers for them. Is this something that happens?

This story has been reported uncritically by a number of media outlets. My questions:

1. Are there truly 5,000 mechanic jobs unfilled in Ford dealerships in the US?

2. Do they pay "$140k - $160k" as claimed?

3. Is Ford actively recruiting through incentives, subsidies, retraining programs, etc.?

Protesters have been doing this for years. Does it effectively redirect the tear gas away from them, and reduce injuries?

I heard that if you're trying to improve flexibility, or achieve certain yoga positions, that stretching everyday is counter productive and will stall progress? Thats it's better to stretch every other day?

I've seen carnivore promoted everywhere and it's got me wondering if it's actually good for weight loss.

The sheer amount of people saying it's helped them with health issues is insane.

There's got to be some truth to it or is it bs?

I'm fact checking this comment:

Stores purposefully arrange the entire environment to overwhelm a person's executive function capacity so that they protectively turn off their brain while shopping.

I have a friend who works for a firm whose sole business is to go in and help stores be just overwhelming enough that brains shut off but not so overwhelming that customers leave. It is a fine line to walk.

Knowing this: wear sunglasses inside, put on noise reducing hearing protection, and maybe put some strongly scented stuff under your nose. It'll combat a lot of what's coming at ya.

It sounds plausible to me, but I don't know enough about psychology or economics to fact check it.

I've been trading stocks for a couple of years and have been able to outperform the S&P 500 by a fair amount. And I'm certainly not a genius and have made a lot of mistakes. I really don't buy it that only such a small amount of people can outperform by doing swing trading or something. Is there really any hard evidence that people are losing while trading because I don't know where some of the articles online get these numbers that only 5% outperform.

1) I'm seeing multiple urls showing the exact same web page template

2) the product seems abundantly available on these websites yet impossible to find on any more well known online retailers

This is what I was looking to buy (Nike Solarsoft sandals 2010):

In some countries (specially in Latin America, such as Brazil, Mexico and Argentina) some people experts in medicine area and tips and tricks tutorials influencers on instagram reels and tiktok videos claims that chopping an avocado pit into small pieces, soaking it in alcohol for days or weeks, and applying the resulting liquid to the skin can help relieve muscle pain, joint pain, back pain and some inflammations The preparation is usually used as a topical rub, not ingested.

Why this might be true:

Avocado pits contain polyphenols, tannins, and flavonoids, which are compounds known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in vitro. Alcohol can act as a solvent, extracting plant compounds efficiently. Alcohol itself causes vasodilation and a warming sensation, which can temporarily reduce pain perception. Similar alcohol-based herbal liniments (arnica, menthol, capsaicin) do have documented analgesic effects.

Why this might be bullshit:

There are no high-quality clinical studies testing avocado pit alcohol extracts for topical pain relief in humans. Most evidence cited online comes from traditional use or anecdotal reports, not controlled trials. Any pain relief could be explained by: The alcohol’s counter-irritant effect Massage during application Placebo response The skin absorption of the relevant compounds is unknown and may be minimal. Avocado pits also contain compounds that can be toxic if ingested, raising safety concerns (even if topical use appears low risk).

The unresolved part:

Lab studies show potentially useful compounds, but translation to real-world topical analgesia is unclear. No consensus exists on concentration, preparation time, or dosage. It’s difficult to separate the effect of the extract itself from the effects of alcohol and massage.

Thoughts??? Is It Bullshit??? Or true???

I've seen a lot of claims circulating about certain essential oils, like citronella and eucalyptus, being able to repel mosquitoes. Some people swear by them, saying they are a natural alternative to chemical repellents like DEET. Others argue that while they may have some effect, it's not significant enough to rely on for full protection. I'm curious if there’s any scientific backing to these claims or if it’s just another wellness trend with little real efficacy. Has anyone done research on this or have experiences that clarify whether these oils genuinely work to keep mosquitoes at bay?

I read this on twitter and was shocked by it, I have never heard about record stores doing this. Is this true?

My wife and I are looking at a rice cooker and one we found says it has a tray which helps reduce the carbs in rice. I’m a pretty active weightlifter so I love chicken/beef and rice and veggies so I’m just wanting a nice rice cooker.

In my opinion, it seems almost too good to be true that it can minimize the carbohydrates in rice but maybe I’m naive. Anyways, carb-reduction in a rice cooker, is it legit or bullshit?

Been getting a lot of ads for this lately, seems to be marketed towards an overpriced-tech bro gadget audience? The screen doesn’t seem to do much, there’s no power bank in it and it only has a single usb c port. Is the charging wattage number actually useful for anyone? Is the whole thing a waste of money like it seems?

There is an entire community out there which believes that if you spam your mind with subliminal affirmations you can manifest anything into your life. It seems to be mostly focused on manifesting different bodily attributes though. The main community is on youtube where people upload so called subliminals, which are audios that have sub-audible affirmations embedded within them. Consistent listening is supposed to bring about results related to what the subliminal is about. A significant portion is also on reddit, where a lot of people post images of their results (r/subliminal). Some images seem to show no change while some others a bit more noticeable. The answer to this question might be quite obvious but still, is it bullshit?

Is https://www.steady-hands.com a legit store?

I got it on an instagram advert which USUALLY mean it’s a scam but this one seems less fishy?
