Hank Green asked this about anal fissures and had a bunch of doctors replying. From what I remember your immune system is different in different parts of your body and your body is prepared to handle it down there. Unless your immune system gets compromised then it can get infected.

I learned recently that certain genres do have word limits in publishing. Like if it is over a certain length it goes straight in the garbage because it depends on how the publisher deals with that market.

Totally bizarre but maybe that's what the celebrity was also alluding too with the sane people comment? Or not, I dunno.

2 things that piss off the funeral industry

  1. Aquamation/water cremation/alkaline hydrolysis
  2. Human composting

Both are legal in my state. You should join the fight if they aren't legal where you are.

Both are cheaper than burial. With aquamation you get back a bag of cremains just like with cremation. The only difference is instead of fire they boil you in an alkaline solution.

With composting it turns people into literal soil. You can take that back or donate it to a charity that is repairing a forest.

I second the Lemmy user who suggested Caitlin Doughty and the Order of the Good Death.

Edit: spelling

Slightly more expensive than aquamation but still cheaper than burial.

Fun fact I overheard! This is a thing in cults. It's something about a uniform appearance plus appearance policing (either overt or to fit in).

Beer if you count the sip my dad gave me as a toddler.

Plum rice wine if you count my first real underage drinking experience.

My first legal drink was rumple minze.

Bad decisions all around.

Search the term "music festival" to get around censorship. There's also an app called Jaywalk that helps list local protests.
