"Misuse"

You can take my Q-tips from deep within my cold, dead ear canals.

[–] lemmie689@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, you have to be wary of using tips from Q, it can feel right but there are reasons for concern, misuse can cause unintended consequences.

Yeah, this seems like bad advice-

Q-tip, you say?

(I need an image editing thing better than Whiteboard...)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I just got paint.net (that's not supposed to be a link how to I make it not a link) and I like it so far.

I should have specified "for my phone." I use Paint.net on the computer already. Really just want a lasso tool and stroke on the text with something on Android for quick shitposts.

Gotcha. I wish I knew something what could help. I'm a novice at all this. I just discovered meme it so like a week ago. Still trying to figure out where all the other resources are.

Dafuq would i use to clean my ears then?

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

It would still be the standard issue Q-Tip, but by regulation you can not go deeper than the exterior.

Just wash them in the shower.

[–] dynamo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Not enough pressure to work

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nothing. Your ears are self-cleaning unless you got a medical condition.

[–] dynamo@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

bullshit. If i don't clean out the ear canals they get blocked entirely

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Talk with your doctor about that, but typically that shouldn't happen under normal conditions, though some people's ear canals are narrower where that can occur more often. There are proper unclogging medications you can use for that.

I have to clean my ears all the time because if I don't hello? Hello is anyone there HELLO?

[–] dynamo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I mean, a qtip works tho

[–] swordsmanluke@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I got the earwax but good. I usually abuse qtips too.

But.

If you want to really know what a clean ear canal is like, get a squeeze bulb. You fill it with hot water (hot like tap, not like boiled) and then hydroblast your ear holes until all the wax melts and runs out.

When you get rid of a real bad wax ball... Aww man, it's amazing. It's like you just removed earplugs. The world is suddenly so much louder.

Fuckin' amazing.

...scuse me, I think Imma go find my squeeze bulb.
