We have that here in sweden at least, and unsurprisingly it seems to sell quite well. And of course since it’s so hilariously cheap for them to produce it’s not like they have to sell many to make profit.
Frankly a lot of the time they somehow manage to keep the quality high enough that with the price they’re sold for it kinda feels too good, like i think these things might well last the rest of my life, why are they selling things i won’t have to buy again??
this is why you by cheapo (but still not obviously dogshit quality) stuff from a big box store or whatever the fuck it’s called in english. Stuff like Biltema here in sweden.
Adding online connectivity and whatnot would make it too expensive, and since keeping things simple also keeps cost down these things end up being quite possible to take apart and repair.
just like english it literally is french to a large degree, not quite as much but many words in daily use just had their spelling changed from french.
and, like, people just straight up stop trying. they hear that it’s harder to learn as you age so they don’t even try, and that of course confirms to everyone around them that it’s true, and so everyone keeps giving up.
it drives me up the fucking wall and the spite i hold for this phenomenon is like 70% of why i have a healthy lifestyle. I fully intend to be doing acrobatics at 60 purely so i can make people feel bad for making moronic lifestyle choices like driving 2km to buy 5 liters of alcohol for the weekend
this is like saying you can’t run after 30, yeah sure it generally becomes less trivial but if you actually try to do it and don’t do it in the worst way possible it’s absolutely doable without much struggle.
kids absorb language like a sponge, adults are like silica gel, just expose yourself to the target language often and you’ll learn it. The problem is that many people are horrendously impatient and try to brute force language learning in like 2 months by memorizing individual sentences and shit, which isn’t how our brains work…
i mean at the end of the day they all fail to meet the low low low low low bar of clearly and unhesitatingly condemning the systemic abuse within the church, much less actually doing something about it…
i love how the most dangerous one here in sweden is literally called “explode herb”, like yeah okay i think i’ll stay away from that one
you seem to be talking about supplements, not vitamins. Fruit is decidedly not expensive unless you live on the mcmurdo antarctic research station.
OP is definitely hilariously exaggerating it, but it certainly can’t hurt to make sure your body has all the nutrients it needs, and placebo shouldn’t be discounted.
In my experience and from my good but not professional knowledge, the most objectively beneficial thing is just to stay well hydrated and eat something. You need that to feel good even if you’re not sick, and when you’re fighting an infection your body is going to be diverting energy to things like fever rather than the stomach, so easy to digest is very important.
And what’s something that has lots of vitamins and minerals and easy to digest calories while also being filled with water? Fruit! (noodles are also a good option, easy to digest plus there’s broth so you get more water)
Then add on the fact that e.g. citrus just viscerally feels fresh and like it should help with illness, and you have a very convincing reason to get a bag of mandarins to snack on while you’re sick.
It won’t cure a cold overnight, but it might well bring enough relief that it’s not a full week of wanting to die, and if it has absolutely no effect then oh no you ate a bunch of healthy stuff how terrible.
One thing i haven’t really seen brought up is that all of these symptoms are severe symptoms that the body has to resort to when less extreme measures aren’t enough.
I’ve noticed many times where i only got slightly sick, like a slight fever for not even an entire day, or i just suddenly feel lethargic and the next day i’m back to normal.
And when i do get severely sick, i make sure to take it extremely easy and keep myself hydrated and fed with something easily digestible along with just doing very very gentle exercise (like, stuff an old person would do at rehab). Since i started being this careful when i get sick it’s gotten WAY less miserable.
Like, instead of a week of just sleeping as much as possible because i have 0 energy and everything is pain; it’s 1-2 weeks that starts with the symptoms ramping up over a day or two, being uncomfortable but able to do things, then needing a few painkillers to be functional for 1-2 days, and then it goes in reverse until the sickness has petered back out.
you also tend to survive altercations with people on public transport, whereas on the roads you’re likely to just fucking die which rather hinders your ability to make a fuss about things.
where the fuck do you think most people here came from
frankly it looks like it’s photoshopped from stuff in Akira
me as a parent asking if the kids want some more popcorn, because it’s 90% air and weirdly nutritious
“to give you something to ask about”
with a popcap gun
just have an enchanted fitting booth, sealed floor to ceiling and the door leaves no gap.
now i need to see a diagram/x-ray of how it’s laid out
just do what a school here in sweden did, serve spaghetti and bolognese as an extra option every day.
It’s like, all stores that sell household devices. Biltema, jula, ICA, Clas Ohlsson, presumably IKEA but the nearest IKEA to me is more than an hour away so it basically doesn’t exist.
I doubt they’d distribute to the US just because it’d be a very strange thing for them to do, i’d imagine you can get basically the same things direct from china anyways.
