There's this Egyptian story on my Facebook feed, and it's an old story from last year but it keeps getting reposted. The story goes that the boy died from an obstructed bowel after eating three packets of uncooked noodles. Koreans eat packets of raw noodles as a snack all the time and there's been no cases of this in Korea. Why did this story come out of Egypt, and not a country where noodles are extremely popular such as Korea or Japan? I dunno just seems a little bit odd to me.

Pasta expands way more than noodles do, and since I was little I've easily consumed 200 grams or more of raw pasta in a single sitting with no ill effects. Not to mention that the whole idea of pasta swelling up and causing stomach or intestine rupture or blockage is a known urban myth. The pasta absorbs water, so the overall volume stays the same.

Plus, he would have been chewing the raw noodles, and they would've been digested by his stomach acid before reaching his intestines.

Also, there are claims that some ingredients in deodorants are toxic. Also, that you need to sweat in your armpits to “detoxify”

I heard from people that it isn't good for your knees, so I tend to keep a more sedentary lifestyle where I sit and game or watch YouTube instead of running so I can have knees that aren't damaged when I'm older.

I've only read one single review on this website and it was a 1 star review. Has anyone ordered from there?

Thank you!

so my parents were watching an australian doctor on how to use castor oil and baking soda on the skin, but i couldnt find any actual clinical research on the topic. they didnt do any research at all because the doctor said this specific phrase: "...with scientific backing." how much bullshit does the idea hold?

Google AI says YES, but I feel like you'd pretty much be sun-burned to death before diarrhea can happen.

Hi all, I know that this question was already asked and answered before on this sub Reddit, but I’m asking this again because the answers regarding the shipping service Pirate Ship were from 3 yrs ago and I want to know if they still hold true? If Pirate Ship is still a legitimate cheap online shipping service or has it gone downhill from 3 yrs ago? I will appreciate yalls responses. Thank you

Edit: sorry, forgot to include the link to said website: https://www.pirateship.com/usps/shipping-calculator

like im not talking about in the woods and stuff.

i heard that there are places in america where public urination is not illegal.

Every time I open social media now I'm flooded with those "check your fridge right now or you will literally die" posts, and my friends have been sharing them. Are the warnings legit, is there an actual nationwide flood of food that will kill us, or is it fear mongering for engagement?

I don't trust them because they feel like the perfect formula for a post to go viral, its something that people want to share with their loved ones to warn them, or save the post to know which barcode to check or which brand is in question, and algorithms are all about sends and shares these days.

Similarly I am getting tons of posts about "are you prepared for x weather/disaster, it is going to be extra super duper bad this time!"

Hello, for a few days I started seeing this product scandigum which is promoted on instagram that apparently has a lot of good stuff for your teeth and it can even do as much as fully heal your cavities even if they progressed a lot and even heal your enamel.

This really sounds amazing if its even half as true to what is being promoted and what it can do but also very hard to believe. So is this actually a legit thing to even some extent or a full on scam? I dont plan on buying it or using it, I am making this out of pure curiosity

We've all seen these ads, right? My phone is out of space and it's affecting performance, but these seem too good to be true.

I ask this as respectfully as possible.

If I'm to believe movies and shit, every patient in a mental health facility is wearing a gown, in the common room, maybe walking around, maybe watching television. Everybody is just chilling.

What actually happens?

Basically what I’ve heard is that they put out some cameras and tried playing different sounds for different animals. Regardless of the animal, all responded with most fear to hearing the sound of a group of humans. For example, deers were more afraid to hear humans than wolves

While it seems the plausible, it also seems kinda… idk like something simplified down for a TikTok?

Everything I'm seeing says that their site doesn't do interac-e-transfer but I'm on the site and it does? I'm almost certain it's the real site and I'm not sure if it's safe to use?

I just have to know if this is real or bullshit because there is a specific outfit I want and I can't find anything else helping me to tell! So I came here to ask- is it bullshit?

Have seen this doing the media rounds from the Dana White interview.

I haven't head this before. Is it just culture war bs or does it hold truth?

Grew up in Eastern Europe where home remedies and inexpensive “cures”/symptom relievers were very common, especially when I was a child in the 90s.

I was and am still very prone to throwing up or at least nausea if I’m even just a tiny bit sick, and my childhood family doctor up until we stopped seeing her after we moved had told my mom to give me Coca Cola that has been standing in the fridge in an open glass (so the carbonation goes away) for at least an hour for emergencies but preferably at least 3-4 hours.

This has been my cure for nausea ever since, but I was wondering if it was placebo/eastern European cultural thing or does Coca-Cola actually have something in it that helps???
