I don't have enough skin.
The cops beat down the door . . .
I really thought it was going another direction, where they'd just, you know, get more skin.
Walking in it and stuff?
Oh hey, I went to highschool with them!
Is it true that they have transcended the tyranny of friction?
Knowing them, I'd expect nothing less honestly.
Poetic.
Does this thing have alcohol as an ingredient?
Yes.
Source: I also have a collection of them even though I hate them.
oof
Hand lotion is a mixture of water, oil and an emulsifier! I don’t think an apolar diluent can have any place in it?
But I am sure its flavored very pleasantly regardless
No alcohol? Sorry, can't think of any use of that substance. Throw it away then...
Yes, would be happy to learn so otherwise if you actually had anything to add!
I've been wondering why so much sunscreen has alcohol, exactly because of what you explained. Do you happen to know?
Not OP but just to hazard a guess:
Alcohol evaporates quickly. It’s probably there for the same reason it’s used in dry shampoos and antiperspirants; to make something that sprays but drys into a powder or thickens to a gel in a very short period of time.
I don’t understand the connection? I don’t think sunscreen contains oil?
UV protection is based on a mineral or chemical filtration aaaaaaaand I looked it up oil does not provide UV prot
Huh I thought since most are moisturizing that they were basically lotion with extra sun protecting ingredients!
>get shot
>bullets simply slide off the skin
Legit have had paranoid patients making shivs or trying to start floods or fires and barricading their doors soap or lotion themselves up. The barricading isn't usually an issue because most places I've worked have had swingstop doors but extracting them without getting them or us hurt always fucking sucks. Usually someone who's spent time in the correctional system doing stuff like that with the soap or lotion but one dude was a combat veteran. That suuucked.
something something transphobic Silence of the Lambs joke
I haven't seen silence of the lambs, so only really know it through popular culture. I know there. Is some element of gender identity to the story but not much else.
Is the whole thing transphobic, like when they make villains queer coded, or do you mean something else?
In the film there is a villain character named Buffalo Bill who murders young women and harvests their skin to make a woman suit they can wear to feel like a woman, presented as a sexual fetish (this is a debunked pseudoscience concept of "autogynephilia"). The character does this after being rejected by gender-affirming clinics for being mentally unstable and not being a "true transexual".
There is a famous scene where Buffalo Bill has abducted a woman and keeps her in a well, and a basket with lotion is sent down and Buffalo Bill says a now famous line: "It rubs lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again." This is a threat to get her to moisturize and take care of her skin, since that's what is intended to be harvested from her.
There's another iconic scene when Buffalo Bill is putting on makeup and jewelry and in the mirror saying "Would you fuck me? ... I would fuck me. I would fuck me. I would fuck me so hard." Then Buffalo Bill dances in front of a camera wearing the skin of women while dressed in women's clothes.
This is perhaps one of the most impactful instances of transphobia in film, and served as an anchor in the 1990s for how people thought about trans women, as deranged psychopathic perverts (similar to how at the time all gay men were believed to be pedophile rapists).
There were even protests held against the film at the time.
Since OP's post is about lotion and criminality, my assumption is that some Silence of the Lambs joke is inevitable, so I thought I'd get ahead of it.
EDIT: I missed that the top comment response was a Silence of the Lambs joke. Oops.
