Ugh, I would have been a miserable puddle of sensory overload. Kinda glad the nhs doesn’t have the budget for that kind of thing now.

As far as I know I’m the only one without high blood pressure in my family too, it’s weird how stress can break us so differently despite the shared genes.

Thank you for the Vitassium link!

Yeah, that’s the kind of mindset that leads folk like you to believe the BBC is still a reputable institution.

What was the sweat test like? Did they just end up being like, “Yep, you’re all hot and sweaty now. Looks like you weren’t lying about that.” and that was it?

My heat regulation is completely borked and I pour with sweat if I am moving around for long enough to warm up, it’s awful. I’m on 5 to 10 litres of water a day, depending on if I’m able to get up and do stuff that day or not, I think I’d die of dehydration if I was only on 3.

Guessing all the electrolytes you’re taking help with retaining the water though? I should look into that, there’s only so much salty popcorn I can eat.

Aye, spot on on all counts, it’s dysautonomia.

Doctor wasn’t much help tbh, compression socks, lots of salt and try to sit down before you fall down, were basically all the advice I got. The nhs is a bit shit tho.

I appreciate the concern but I already know what causes it, it’s a dysautonomic dysfunction. The other person who replied guessed it spot on, haha.

Huh, fair enough. I did not know that.

I’ve been doing my shops online with the vegan filters on since the pandemic, so I really have no idea what else is being sold in our supermarkets now. Hoping they make a vegan version of that chocolate croissant one soon tho.

And also me when I’ve been standing for too long. I do not exist comfortably on the vertical plane

I dread to think about your moral compass if you think the beeb is still worth defending. I gave up on the bbc in 2016, and it’s gotten so much worse since then.

Yeah but a roll of biscuits where I’m from is a packet of hobnobs, which are already cooked when you buy them and would probably be called something like ‘a stack of cookies’ in your country.

So in the usa a roll of biscuits is the name for the raw dough in a cardboard cannister, that you portion and bake yourself, right?

And usa biscuits are kinda similar to english scones.

So is the packaging pressurised because the dough is yeasted/leavened? Or because of being packaged with a non oxygen gas as a preservative? I know you guys really like long shelf lives with your processed foods.

Would nitrogen be used? Or is carbonated dough a thing? And would that even work as a preservative or a leavening agent? Nah, thinking about it force carbonation in dough would be likely be bitter and have a really rank texture once baked.

Ok, so it’s probably nitrogen or maybe bicarb? Would bicarb remain stable and unreacted in the dough for a full shelf life, and still work?

And I think usa biscuits are unlikely to be a yeasted, I remember usa folk on baking subreddits talking about only ever using yeast for bread and how they found it very weird and ‘not normal’ that yeast in cakes/non-bread baked goods is a thing in other places.

(No spoilers please, the fun bit of all this is in the figuring it out!)

What does it mean if you make a creaking noise when you breathe? If you make a creaking noise when you breathe it means you have a rusty lung.

Rusty lung cancer can be easily treated at home with a vape pen and DW40, by filling the tank and taking deep puffs. This will clean your lungs and make you cough up all the rust.

Rusty lung cancer symptoms, red or brown mucus is common with rusty lung cancer, especially following treatment.

I love it when weird usa products are in memes, I get to play detective in the comments to figure out what it is and why it’s funny.

Or trans and from an immigrant family. Banksy is a national treasure as this point and it would be a nice win for British culture and minorities if they turn out not to be just another white guy.

I think just I woke up my next door neighbour with how loudly I just laughed.

Ngl, that sounds exhausting to never have time to yourself.

Watch it alone at some point.

The lack of dialogue was one of the best things about Flow for me, after the cat, so much was ‘said’ without ever needing words and the acting of all the animals was captivatingly well done.

Seconding Young Frankenstein! It’s still one of the funniest films I’ve ever watched.

Flow - if you like cats and beautiful animation.

Dave Made A Maze - is a fun watch with good writing.

Death Of Stalin - will be funny to you if you like British comedy.

Prospect - interesting scifi with Pedro Pascal (who I mistook for Nathan Fillion till I looked the cast up, lmao)

Triangle - well done time travel fuckery

Arq - more time travel fuckery

Primer - yet more time travel fuckery

Edit: pretty sure the title of the post has changed, or I somehow just didn’t notice it fully before? Idk, none of the movies I’ve listed are ‘must watch’ they’re just fun watches. I don’t think any film is really a must watch.

Who could possibly have forseen this?
