There are also wetting agents to make water wetter. I don’t recommend drinking them though.

I used to know someone who had to use water thickeners because of their MS. They couldn't properly swallow fluids anymore, so they consumed e.g. thickened tea on a spoon.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

Nope it’s real. It’s useful for certain medical conditions

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Thick water? No, it's meant for people that have trouble drinking water, either because of the consistency, or a disability that prevents them from drinking it.

In what way is sirup or honey easier to swallow than water? I'm asking for real because if anything I see it as quite the opposite. There's a reason one blends food for people who have trouble consuming solids

Near the end of his life my father had a condition that made it hard to close off his windpipe when taking a sip of water. They gave him thickened water in hospital to help with that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

As someone else mentioned, it can be consumed with a spoon, for example. It can be as thick as honey, so you wouldn't necessarily be drinking it from a glass.

You can get thickeners for beverages, some people need them for certain conditions that make swallowing problematic!

If I say it, then it will have been said.

Maybe you can draw a picture instead? Are the "words" in here with you now?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

The words are coming from inside the house

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I would argue the vernacular has shifted enough that when you type something, you're saying it. No, not by the strictest definition of "say," but I think we as a society are to the point you said whatever you type online.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I'm getting fed up with this orgasm!

I'm tired of these motherfing snakes on this motherfing plane!

Shoot, the censorship asterisks backfired.

Use a \ symbol before the *

motherf\*cking = motherf*cking

Gosh, that Italian family at the next table sure is quiet.

Boomers actually did a lot of great things that other generations benefits from.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (5 children)

Classic Rock. Civil rights. Moon landing. Birth control and abortion. Counterculture and peaceful protests making it OK to be a dissident. Making pants way more commonplace for women. And mid-century modern design.

I know it's trendy to hate on boomers, and a lot of them are out of touch and have gotten more close-minded as they've aged, but there was a lot of good that could be laid at their feet as well.

This orgasm is terrible and I want it to stop.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Actually, you might be wrong at that front. I remember seeing a mini documentary years back about a man who was continually orgasming for years (I think maybe he had some sort of spinal or brain injury or something). He described it as both painful and embarrassing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Just like American Dad "I'm getting fed up with this orgasm"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

No it isn't.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I love you for more than your huge dick.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

My girlfriend reminds of that every...time I prematurely ejaculate.
