My favourite toothpaste is any tube that says “Toothpaste” on it, hopes this helps! 🤗

Seriously tho, I should probably care more cuz there was this article I read about widespread lead and heavy metal contamination: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/17/toothpaste-lead-heavy-metals

I remember years ago when I was just an account-less lurker on lemmy. I’d only check in once a week, and still half the posts were the same ones I saw last week.

Things have changed a lot since then, and I don’t think we’ll ever get back down to those levels; but I’d still use lemmy even if it did.

Kid forgot to say Zoo-Wee Mama!

Me too. Do you like soup?

That reminds me. I thought tourist was another word for terrorist until 13; I finally checked the different definitions cuz I was cast in the Despicable Me school play and got confused about the opening scene where a bunch of tourists discover the Pyramids of Giza were stolen.

Less Sun = Less Plants = Less Carbon Sink = 🤦

So would you like help and support? It doesn’t have to be from me, but I still want to make sure at least someone is trying.

Hey! Exactly 2 weeks ago to this day, I messaged you about your mental health and asked if you wanted help seeking therapy. Why did you just ignore me? Rude.

Yeah, I think more is being lost here than “solved”. Sometimes you need to ask simple questions about complex things. Ask any teacher and they’ll say that students deepen their own understanding just as much as they teach back. It’s part of the flow of creative ideas and inspiration. Everybody should have the right to be curious, ask questions, learn and make new discoveries.

Instead, this feels like “You are only allowed to have ideas once you’ve gone through the propogandization program to have the right ones”. But I still do agree that we need to start trying lots of things to combat misinformation. Maybe a rebrand of education to show how much more interesting reality is than conspiracy theories. A focus on the truth that so much remains unknown, and conspiracy theories are like unhealthy junk food that never satiates that truth.

find a fat tree, then hug and kiss it to show you love yourself💞

swing from the trees!

maturity leaves a scar in your brain to teach you a lesson.

i think kids should be allowed to vote. from the moment we’re born, we should have a say. we have adults that act like crybabies anyways, so it balances out.

the most original playground is mother nature, and it’s a lifelong workout exploring this great, big planet.

not knowing where things come from is innocence. the burden of knowledge is the responsibility to create what’s gone, and to share that burden.

sometimes, does my silly-ness come off as insanity? what if everyone’s just acting childish and silly all the time? i think i need to grow up and be productive… that’s the punchline 🤭👏👏👏 ok but fr

it would be so cool to watch them race

Remarkably, patients who received either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy were more than twice as likely to be alive after three years compared with those who didn’t receive either vaccine.

just exercising some healthy skepticism here, wouldn’t people that didn’t take the vaccines just be more likely to have died of covid, and also be an indicator of other poor choices? or is there some extra math im missing that accounts for immunodeficient exemption vs choosing no vaccine, etc?

edit: nvm. looking at extended data fig. 2 of the paper, there is definitely not the same overall survival boost with the flu and pneumonia shots compared to the covid mRNA.

not just “alive” things but “dead” things too. the “dead” multivitamin i took this morning is absorbed into my “living” cells now. the air we breath has been inhaled and exhaled countless times for eons. loose hair and dead skin cells become dust and soil again.

the universe is an ocean, and we are a wave. we’re made of stardust and dinosaur farts.

at least they’re being honest. that way we can tell them to seek therapy… right? there must be someone that’s cared enough to tell them that instead of just mirroring the same lack of sympathy back at them too
