Well, if you insist, bud, but you’ll need to update those labels when we’re done. ⚔⚔ /j

I exhaled a little more air than usual through my nose

And hhherbs, because there’s a fucking H in it!

Dare I say, fake and gay?

Where Did All My Male Friendships Go? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/podcasts/male-friendships-loneliness.html

It doesn’t overanalyze but covers one man’s experience that I found relatable

Yup, you’re especially at risk from liver worms from things like watercress and other usual parasites when animals defecate over crops, or from farmers using egg-infested water. Always wash and disinfect.

No, but they won’t do anything to you once they get into the muscle. They’re accidental parasites at a young stage that got into the wrong host instead of prey animals.

These cysts lodge deeply into the tissue, waiting indefinitely for you to get eaten so they can break free from their capsule when stomach acid dissolves it to continue their life cycle, but since that probably won’t happen, your body calcifies them. They stay in place without causing pain or harm other than activating your immune system.

I think the worst is probably when they manage to get past the blood-brain barrier into the brain, which can cause a wide range of symptoms from neuropathy to seizures, and even death. But besides being gross, they’re usually nothing to worry about in other parts of the body.

Of course, the image is of a Chinese man with a severe case of infestation that made the rounds from daily consumption of raw sashimi for many years. The average person who’s infected usually has a handful at most and doesn’t show signs or symptoms.

These are also different from the adults that stay inside the digestive track, hook into the intestinal wall, and absorb nutrients passively from their surroundings.

No way, man, I don’t know where my day went! Wait, does that mean… ?

Thanks! And holy shit, I didn’t know that existed. That’s an interesting organ.

You and I and the orange cat have a lot in common.

The fuck is that? Certainly not my Friday night.

Speak for yourself, buddy! *flexes lump on noodle arm*

Same, I’ve never had this happen either. I only used to get the splitting in my hands but it hasn’t happened in a long while and I suspect it was because of the cold.

I wish I had a friend I wouldn’t think twice about donating an organ to. In my experience, people tend to be less than grateful when I go the extra mile for them, having had that happen four separate times in five years. If I had given anyone a kidney and I had to terminate that friendship over their behavior, I’d be very sour about it.

Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones. Dude is supposed to be an archeologist but he’s too busy breaking & entering into sacred temples while trampling artifacts to get his dirty hands on some golden relic for profit. Smdh

I like these odds. Being a penguin sounds like generalized anxiety with an extra layer of flubber.

I thought it said working overtime at the Disney factory and I thought to myself yup 🤡🪄🔮✨

Einstein turbo-rolling in his grave, about to bore a hole through the earth to come and spank you

Same, but I was literally just opening the command prompt and hadn’t even learned to navigate the file system yet.

Any hole’s a goal
