  • yup, the aluminum basically acts as a mordant for the natural yellowish stain of sweat and its microbial metabolites

    best to skip antiperspirant when wearing white shirts. aluminum-free deodorant (there is no such thing as aluminum free antiperspirant, btw) can help mask BO but will not stop sweat. but if you like white shirts that’s probably a decent trade-off.

    zinc oxide is a decent deodorant ingredient that doesn’t prevent sweating but does slow down microbes that eat sweat and release odorous compounds

    avoid baking soda if you have sensitive skin as it can raise your skin pH to uncomfortable levels. ymmv



  • Both details and fundamentals. And when the fundamentals get questioned things get dramatic. In like, an irritating way that reminds me of religious zealotry, uuuuuuugh

    The "where is 95% of all the mass!?" seems a bit more dramatic in the grand scheme of things though, damn.

    I witnessed grown adults outright bully teenage and young adult interns and grad students for presenting solid evidence that challenges paradigms (you know, like how we advance our understanding of science…?) but I can’t imagine it’s much better if everyone regardless of experience is just staring into a void of conflicting observations and nobody knows what the fuck any of it means









  • Unless you live in certain counties in the southern United States, where technically you need a prescription for a “marital aid.” Adult stores have to label everything as “novelty use only.” Really dumb.

    Cocaine is also technically available as a prescription dental/oral/nasal anesthetic but I doubt there are any dentists and ENTs who want the headache and DEA spotlight on them when alternatives are available.
