Yesterday, I picked out some random playlist on Spotify which I liked the sound of. I decided to play it at my housewarming party. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to save a lot of the songs I really enjoyed listening to while I was there, however, I was pleasantly surprised to find one of…
Why YSK: The dangers of speeding are worse than you might expect, and, on the same note, your odds at surviving a crash increase greatly at lower speeds. This is because kinetic energy is proportional to velocity2 . So, when you double your speed, you quadruple your kinetic energy. When your car…
Why YSK: It can save you lots of money each month. <30% humidity causes there to be a bigger heat difference between sunny and shady areas. You might get a better result from not allowing in direct sunlight than if you had your AC blasting. If you are in a high humidity area, using a dehumidifier…
Why YSK - The state of the US is beyond crazy rn. Our rights as women are being crushed . There are mail options for plan c etc. You are not alone and we will get through this . Two links below. Love to all of you women. https://www.plancpills.org/guide-how-to-get-abortion…
Why YSK: It's common for people to just think the sentence is "and I", but it can also be "and me". For example, "Marie and I went to the store" take out Marie, "I went to the store" makes sense whereas if you say "Would you like to come to the store with Marie and I?" it's incorrect because when…
Why YSK: Many people falsely believe they go in your hair "teeth up" and I was one of those people until several years ago. They are very ineffective this way, because they are designed to hold hair with the "teeth" (ridged side, not the flat side) facing down, against your scalp. You will get a…
Why YSK: In light of recent events in Texas, I’ve seen a lot of people here on Reddit confusing Plan B with abortion pills. They are not one and the same. Plan B, or Levonorgestrel, is a dose of hormonal birth control taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy, which is why it’s…
That's according to this study I found. [https://www.resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-9572(15]00145-8/pdf) Why YSK: If you ever have to perform chest compressions (say, for an unconscious choking victim or during CPR), you can't just rely on your upper arm strength. Especially since you'll…
Why YSK: If you do get a refund check, it's not free money, its just extra loan money that you're paying interest on - so don't waste it on $300 sneakers (as I've seen people do) or other frivolous things. Either spend it on school supplies you need or save it as emergency funds and plan to pay it…
Why YSK: When normal civilians hear the term military-grade, they think that it is going to be a lot better than others (e.g. military-grade jackets are better than other jackets) when that is not at all what it means. https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/what-does-military-grade-mean-marketing
Why YSK: Free Plan B (morning after pill) and female condoms! Plan B is not an abortion pill. It prevents pregnancy before implantation. My shitty insurance covered female condoms and Plan B (8/year). A doctor need to prescribe it. The best success I’ve found is getting it prescribed from the pill…
Why YSK: A lot of people are concerned about becoming pregnant, and the main non-permanent birth control options that are over 90% effective [https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control] must be implemented by the person with the uterus. For men a vasectomy is an option, but they…
Why YSK: It can be frustrating to be stuck in traffic when there is a lane that has room and nobody seems to use it for fear of "cutting in line," but if you use it you are actually helping the flow of traffic! Exerpt from the Missouri Department of Transportation…
YSK that if you are a person who wants to re-gain their period in the U.S., you can get the abortion pill by mail up to 10 weeks pregnant for $110 from Europe (Aid Access). It is a legitimate doctor. You will have to answer some questions, then pills will be prescribed to you and mailed from a…
Why YSK: The concentration of actual medicine (acetaminophen) in both bottles are the same (160mg per 5ml). The dosage directions given on both bottles are the same based on children's age and weight. Both packages will state "ask a doctor" for kids under 2 years old. Which you should be doing, to…
Why YSK: Although many monthly subscriptions can be easily cancelled in an account management menu, others are much more difficult. A common tactic is a "cancel my account" button that opens a popup with a phone number to call. The phone number may involve confusing menus, long holds, or attempts…
Why YSK: Just like the majority of us, the Satanic Temple (TST) was well aware of the government's momentum in contesting Roe v. Wade long before this mess in Texas happened. Based on the precedent ironically set by the decision allowing Hobby Lobby to deny birth control to their employees, TST has…
Why YSK: In light of yet Texas’ insane abortion law, more people should understand just how restrictive it is…because I had no clue what ‘6 weeks’ meant until I was trying myself to conceive. When the 6 week abortion law is mentioned it often goes with the phrase “before many women even know they’re…
Why YSK: Tomahawk steaks are just ribeye steaks with extra bone, which looks neat in pictures, but you're generally paying a 40 to 80 dollar upcharge for that piece of bone that does nothing to enhance the flavor of the steak. It's not like you can eat that extra 12 inches of bone, it exists only to…
Why YSK: There is the stigma around suicide prevention that, you must be practically on the brink of death in order to call the suicide hotline. But the fact is they want you to call if you're even having thoughts about it. I called a friend who works at a hospital. And before anyone answered the…
Why YSK: Spotify ads can be quite annoying, and this apps makes your listening experience just a tad better.
My mother, as well as the parents of everyone I know who cooks, instilled in me from an early age to NEVER ever use soap on the cast iron. I just discovered today that is not true. Lodge, a well known and well trusted cast iron brand, says on their website that you absolutely can use a bit of soap…
Why YSK: Your stuff isn't always valuable to someone in need or newcoming refugees. Here's a few guidelines that will help your items get to its well-intended destination: 1. If it's super used, falling apart, dirt covered - don't donate it. It will end up in the trash! If you wouldn't donate…
Why YSK: i thought it was well known but my sister hadn't realised this, and neither had a few other people I told so just thought I'd share the ad-free joy on here
Why YSK: First stage/stage 1/newborn formula is fine for your baby up until 12 months and beyond, if you wish. There are little, if any, differences between them and stage 2/follow on milks... The only reason milks such as stage 2/follow on/hungry baby/growing up milks exist is to get around infant…
Why YSK: I was emotionally abused by my ex for around 8 months, at the end of it I always felt awful and had intrusive thoughts over which I practically had no control over, my sleep was a mess, I couldn't enjoy daily activities and I felt like I had no control over my mood. I think its important to…
Why YSK: Breastfeeding initiation rates are reasonably high (e.g. 81% in UK), but they fall dramatically, by the end of the first day of life, they are already at 69% (again, UK based statistic). There is so much encouragement to initiate breastfeeding, but often very little support to actually…
Why YSK: most companies write job listings for perfect people that don't exist with the intention of lowering their expectations as time goes on. This is probably why your resume is being tossed out. I understand the title may seem like "no duh" thing to say, but I promise this post is worth…
