my record is 23 nostril hairs at once!

I used to pull them out instead of using a nose hair trimmer because it was easy and doesn't realy hurt if I do it fast.

Then i learned you can get awful brain poisoning from doing this if you get an infection so i had to let the record stand there about 15 years ago. Best record before that was only 14 so I was quite excited to get 23.

Say whay now? Sounds like I should stop the practice. I didn't even keep score :(

i do not understand at all why waxing your mustache is fine but plucking your nose hairs is not!

But the tldr is an infection inside your nose can get into your brain somehow and it's way more likely if you pull the hairs out vs trimming them.

Idk it was 15 years ago and i'm no scientist but the evidence available to me at the time was compelling enough that i quit it!

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
