A rock in your shoe, when you remove it it appears in your other shoe 5 seconds after you start walking again

All your passwords expire once a day

All your passwords expire once a day

Calm down, Satan.

Password cannot contain a previous password.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Password contains characters used in previous password or attempted password. Choose a new password between 15 and 17 characters using at least one capital letter, one lower case letter, one special character and one of the other sort of special character

No, Also they have to rhyme!

Every time you type your password it says it's incorrect no matter how many variations you try, but when you go to change it and type in the new password it says your new password must not match your old password.

I hate when I used the random 128 character pass key generator and it says password previously used. NOOOOOOO!

No matter how much you wipe, there's still poop.

[–] Duranie@midwest.social 21 points 9 months ago

Butt crayon.

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 15 points 9 months ago

That's some true evil.

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

I’d fucking jump off a building

[–] revlayle@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

It's like wiping a marker

Bidets save the day once again!

Perpetually soggy socks. Not wet but a little damp

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Everyone always says damp socks are hell but my feet sweat so much that I don't know the difference anymore

I have atopic dermatitis. I know what’s like having an itch that moves around when you scratch.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago

dermatitis

Yeah we know they're your titties. We can see them already.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Well..don't keep us in suspense! Do you love it?

[–] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 15 points 9 months ago

Let’s just say the sometimes it requires an Herculean effort to not look like a cartoon monkey in front of people.

[–] boomzilla@programming.dev 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Have you tried ditching milk products? I heard it can have an effect on those symptoms. As well as on asthma and allergies. I was plagued by allergies but don't have them anymore. Anecdotal evidence I know but you find a lot of papers regarding this topic.

[–] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Having the same stuff, I can confirm some days, it can borderline drive me crazy.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

May your butt itch, and your arms be too short.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Hmmm, doesn’t work as they can just scratch it against something bear style.

[–] aphonefriend@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

But everytime you try to use something else to itch it, you get a splinter instead

Traffic signal always turns red when you approach it.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That one I think about if I got three wishes. First one would be always have green lights. More specifically I wish for unlimited luck that includes nothing impending my right of way. Just smooth traffic at all times.

[–] LeafOnTheWind@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

If you can wish for anything why not wish for the ability to teleport? Or for there to actually be good public transit...

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 21 points 9 months ago

A candy bar that taste so amazing that it haunts your dreams, but you can never find it in a store ever again.

[–] quaddo@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Continually inspired with amazing ideas. But the moment you try to write them down or describe to anyone else, they just fade away.

Like waking up after an amazing dream and trying to remember it long enough to tell anyone else.

God: I'll give them teeth ..... without any instructions on how to maintain them.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

And put a whole bunch of fleshy bits right next to them, and even though they'll always be in the same relative positions you'll bite the fleshy bits just frequently enough to wonder why the teeth and fleshy bits are in such close proximity and how after X years of existence this is still happening.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We evolved in a world with little sugar, few starchy plants. 15,000 years ago everyone (except those where sugar cane grew) had excellent teeth

In the fossil record bad teeth come at the same time as bread, though it took sugar (especially in fizzy drinks) to make everyone fat and diabetic

I eat carnivore and haven't brushed my teeth in five years and have not had any tooth aches

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

The other white substance that you should watch for that our ancient ancestors never had to deal with is ....

SALT

Like too much sugar ... consuming a substance that was rare to our ancient ancestors is bad for your health ... you might have excellent teeth, but you might keel over with a heart attack or a stroke.

[–] psud@aussie.zone 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Much of the stuff about salt and heart health is bullshit. It's from a well publicized hypothesis that was never tested

Having said that we don't need much, I don't add salt to the beef which is more than 90% of my diet, I do add a small amount of salt to water after a heavy drinking session, it's good for rehydration, and I don't drink, especially heavily often

When I was on keto I took a lot of salt (which is why I looked up the current scientific position on it) and I can tell you it's pretty difficult to take too much, salt tastes terrible if you have had enough

The thing that increased heart disease: same as everything else, sugar. It prevents use of the circulating fat, which is carried in high density cholesterol. Fatty acids (fats) build up as you eat more fats but cannot burn them because carbohydrates must be burnt first

The HDL cholesterol exceeds its lifespan with nowhere to deliver the fat and breaks up, this increases free fatty acids (with no protective cholesterol cage) and small fragments of the HDL cage, those fragments are the ones that embed in the walls of blood vessels, collect calcium and eventually break off as a calcified clump and blocks something important

A screeching metallic sound or bad smell that only goes away when they are actively looking for it

Sometimes I get an itch that feels like it's under the skin and I can't scratch it 😭

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago

It's the alien tracking implant. Sentient and itchy.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just press your skin hard and scratch your inner skin against the muscle below.

[–] palordrolap@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's how you can get an oddly dull but thought-stopping intense pain that's reminiscent of a bad cramp. The sort that feels like something's taking a bite, but from the inside, or like being punched in slow motion but there's no fist to push away and oh boy that smarts for the love of god make it stop.

The intensity fades as quickly as it sets in but you won't want to touch that part of your body for a while afterwards in case you set it off again. In time a bruise may develop, but not always.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 3 points 9 months ago

What? Most people do what I have described, it just helps for the scratching feeling, there's no side effect. I don't know where your imagination took you.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 11 points 9 months ago

May your fingers turn to fish hooks and you get crotch-itch.

[–] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 8 points 9 months ago

Dang! Bill Westlake no less! Me and Bill Westlake fist-fought each other in junior high school and again shortly after we'd both graduated from highschool in our shitty northern California ag-town.

We hated each other back then, but I feel nothing but brotherly feels for him now, 30 years later.

I hope you are thriving Bill Westlake. I hope you have done well in life and I feel no animosity toward you whatsoever.

[–] Mandy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 9 months ago

Your clothes will always have that slightly itchy feeling that makes you wanna move and twitch a little if you remove your clothes, it only gets stronger
