What the Full are you taking about

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Just like sodium and chlorine, the combination of the two is a lot milder than either half.

Instructions unclear.

I just dumped all of my NaOH into my HCl and the flask is getting really hot.

What do now?

Drop some Mentos in it.

Back in the 80s my roommate and I tried to invent a new swear word. We settled on "cuck!" Definitely sounded dirty but meant nothing, at least to us. And I really don't think it was slang yet back then.

It's also "heat" and "duck" combined.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Also "helicopter" and "buttock" put together

[-] elfin8er@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

heck(interj.)

euphemistic alteration of hell, by 1865.

Wow, there's nothing there. That's the only info we got. I'm starting to be sold on the hell+fuck idea

Go hulk yourself!

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 1 points 1 year ago

I'd guess that it originates from Hekkenfeldt, an old Nothern European name for Hekla (Heklufjall), an Icelandic volcano believed to be the entrance to Hell and a meeting place for witches.

Mother mother duck

[-] tpihkal@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Honestly, it's much more versatile:

"Heck you man, I'll heck you up so bad you'll hecking wish you hecked up and went to heck."

[-] fubo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, shove it up your heck!

Showerthoughts

41765 readers

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.
