A lot of us should be happy we have an excuse to wear a mask to cover our faces. I, for one, love to not be seen. But it’s becoming a bit of a self-feeding cycle: We wear a mask, get acne from it and now want to wear...
For some reason, it seems I’ve established myself as a go-to writer for all things about needing to pee a lot. I pee about once an hour during the waking day, once a night and as soon as I wake up in the morning, just to set the...
There’s almost always a glob of my hair clung to the walls of my shower. I put it there intentionally so I can throw it in the trash and not clog the drain. It’s an abject sight, and my boyfriend hates it, but art is controversial, you know?...
Let’s say you burnt off all the skin on your arm. You’re not exactly going to get all that skin back, but you’re not just going to have a festering barbeque for a limb forever, either. To a certain extent, smoking cigs is just repeatedly burning the lining...
So you wanna go to the beach during COVID-19. Cool, great, seems like it should be fine. Unless, of course, you live somewhere like L.A., where you were previously only allowed to go to the beach so long as you want to park your car, walk straight into the ocean and walk...
Few things strike fear into my heart like a bathroom without a loud-ass fan. You know the kind I’m talking about — it’s not even clear if they’re actually circulating the air, but they sound like someone’s riding a dirtbike in the ceiling and that’s what counts. I...
Even without alcohol, I have to pee all the time. As I’ve said before, I pee probably once an hour. Being well-hydrated isn’t a crime! Anyway, imagine my horror to hear that a 40-year-old man in Zhejiang, China, was recently hospitalized when, after drinking 10 beers and passing out for...
Theme park characters, sports mascots, medical professionals, furries, high school theater kids and children on Halloween all provide solid evidence that CO2 poisoning doesn’t happen from wearing a mask. Yet some of the COVID-19 conspiracy theorists are refusing to wear masks in public because of their completely unfounded belief that mask-related...
I’ve always thought that the crisper drawers in refrigerators just existed for organizational purposes. Not once did I stop to ask myself why they were called “crisper” drawers — that’s someone else’s business. But apparently, they’re not just drawers. Or at least, they’re hypothetically not just drawers. As the name suggests,...
Maybe this is TMI, but I feel like I pee, like, once an hour. You will never catch this bitch dehydrated! But I’m curious — what does all that water actually do? Does it all just… turn into pee? Apparently, yeah, pretty much. Exactly what your body does with...
Growing up, we were praised for asking questions and displaying curiosity. This was a mistake, because now we’re so inquisitive about the world around us that we can’t even open a bag of baby carrots without seriously wondering why the hell they’re so wet. But it does...
Stress will literally make you sick. You feel it emotionally, of course, but its effects creep into your ability to eat well, get enough sleep or maintain healthy relationships. Over time, stress can even kill you. But for some people, one of the more immediate manifestations of stress appears right on...
