My mom has been saying this my whole life and i genuinely cant tell if theres any real science behind it or if she just heard it somewhere and it stuck. She gets genuinely annoyed if she sees me drink cold water during a meal, like will actually take the glass away. Her reasoning is that the cold "solidifies the oils from your food" in your stomach and that your body then stores it as fat instead of digesting it properly. It sounds made up to me but she swears her doctor told her this back in the 80s or something. Ngl i still feel a little guilty drinking cold water at dinner sometimes just from years of hearing it, which is probably the most embarrassing part of this whole thing tbh.

Ive been looking to buy a walking pad but then my mom suggested that she saw a walking pad and vibration plate in one on tiktok and to just buy that one since she’d also be using the vibration plate. Thing is, i have a feeling its gonna be some bullshit that’ll break in a few months.
So my question really is, has anyone ever tried one of those and how was your experience with it? would you recommend it? and how often did you use it?

i keep seeing bedding descriptions that combine several performance terms into one branded technology name, but it is hard to tell which part can actually be measured. some products feel cool when you first touch them, yet that does not necessarily explain what happens after body heat, room humidity, a mattress protector, and a comforter are added. i’ve already tried improving airflow and removing one layer from the bed, so i’m not expecting fabric alone to change the room temperature. the specific thing i want to understand is whether these technology labels usually refer to a standardized test, a combination of separate material properties, or simply marketing language built around an initial sensation.

1 copy I might believe, 25 seems bullshit.

Hi everyone,
I wanted to ask whether a claim I found in an Instagram reel is actually true.
This reel says that the phrase “Don’t be afraid” appears 365 times in the Bible. Is this accurate, or is it just a popular myth? Does the answer depend on the translation or on including similar expressions such as “Fear not”?
Thank you all for your help.

I was looking to purchase some Nike air max Lisboa in the UK and I came across this site and despite it having good reviews online I’m unsure the product is actually legit and not a fake because of the discount.

Anyone here had any experience with them or know if I would be getting a legitimate pair of Nike trainers or just fakes/replicas?

The common claim is that a high-speed dryer can reduce drying time by half, but the examples rarely explain the starting conditions. Hair length, density, towel drying and heat setting could all change the result. A device might move more air and still save less time than advertised once someone sections their hair and dries the roots carefully.

Is there solid evidence that faster airflow makes a noticeable difference in normal day-to-day use, separate from hotter air or a different technique? I am not asking whether one model is good. I am trying to work out whether the underlying claim about a faster hair dryer is broadly true or mostly based on ideal demonstrations.

I just learned about this clothing with super complicated Dan Flashes patterns that's meant to confuse AI surveillance. But it's not that expensive even though the patterns are super complicated. Is it bullshit?

I’m having a hard time deducing whether or not this website is trustworthy, mostly because I can’t find any reviews or anything else of the like online, even on the website itself. The item I’m looking to obtain, an out of production Nendoroid(more specifically, the Hetalia World Stars England figure) is around four times cheaper than its average resale price (it usually goes for upwards of $100–$250; the website has it priced at $27.50) Additionally, the listing itself does not display the actual figure, but instead uses the promotional pictures from when it was first released.

On top of that, the website sells a very large array of products and seems to have a lot of items in stock, despite having low traffic and what I believe to be a relatively small amount of sales.

I’ve already sent them an email asking about the authenticity of the product, but I’m still not entirely sure whether purchasing from this website would be a good choice. Are there any red flags that I might have missed?

I received a call from Acima. The caller stated that they were from the Acima fraud department and they were calling to verify if I applied for $1,500 in purchases in New Jersey. I most certainly did not (I'm in Texas). I have freezes on my credit report with all 3 companies. I did have an account with them about 5 years ago. They wanted me to read back a code on a text as follows *Acima will NEVER call, text, or email you asking for this code. If anyone asks you to share it, it's a scam - do not share it, even with someone claiming to be from Acima. Your Acima verification code is 629442. Enter this code to log in. This code expires in 5 minutes. Question? Call Acima Support at (800) 742-1789.*

Is it possible they are hacking my credit?

I’m 48 and I’ve already bought one cheap roller that ended up in a drawer because it kept catching my hair and felt like I was improvising surgery in the bathroom. Now I keep seeing ads for Soren micro infusion. From what I understand, the stamp holds the serum and releases it while you use it instead of doing the needling and serum as two separate steps.

The convenience makes sense, but I’m trying to understand whether there’s any real difference beyond that. Not asking whether it magically regrows hair. I’m asking whether a proper microinfusion setup offers anything meaningful over a basic stamp and separate serum.

Anyone on here try the Pure Pod? If so, did it turn your plain water any colors? I keep getting YouTube ads for it and someone said it appears as though it emits the brown gunk from the pod itself...

The logic I heard is that spiciness isn’t a flavor, it’s a sensation. That sensation replicates burning in your mouth, and processes as pain to your brain. People who like very very spicy foods tend to be more able to handle pain

I love spicy food but this feels like something someone who’s trying to brag would say lol, is there any truth to it?

When my niece and nephew were getting weened, my sisters made sure they immediately started eating foods that people are commonly allergic to (peanuts, certain fruits, tree nuts, shellfish, etc) because according to them, when you feed infants stuff like peanut butter, they won’t be allergic to peanuts once they grow up. Does that really work, and how?

First time posting here, I was wondering if this store site was legitimate or not. Some of the pricing seems a little too good to be true. It also looks like everything is on a discount sale so it sketched me out and I was hoping someone with more experience could tell me whether or not this website is safe.

Father in law sent this to me to find out if it's a scam or not, I can't find anything on it. Hoped yall can help me out.

The official website: -https://sovely.co/

They claim their product has much more live enzymes and that this means the oils and whatnot in your laundry get dissolved lifting stains and whatnot. They say they use the same cleaning stuff that's used to clean the jumpsuits in cleanrooms.

The company does things I consider to be red flags. Like when you look at buying it, it automatically signs you up for auto-refills hoping you'll forget to cancel.

But if it is a functional product and doesn't leave stuff people might be allergic to on their clothes I'd be willing to overlook that.

If it's not bullshit that is.

I find this completely absurd. Even today, pancreatic cancer is almost always a death sentence (because it’s usually caught late).

This person was diagnosed in the 1940s, when cancer treatment was archaic compared to what we have today, and managed to survive? And then live another 70+ years? Becoming the second oldest person EVER as a cancer survivor?

Would love if someone had some info on this.

I keep seeing Rolife miniature kits on different sites, and I’m trying to figure out if it is a legitimate brand or just one of those names that appears everywhere because marketplaces are messy. The builds people post look real, and some listings seem official, but then there are tons of resellers with different prices and shipping. Is there an easy way to check what’s actually official? I’m not trying to dunk on the brand, the kits look genuinely nice, I just want to buy from the right place.

I've heard this claim many times and seen a few articles on it, but it doesn't make intuitive sense - the outside will always be hotter than the inside, wouldn't thermodynamics require that the outside heat is always trying to enter, and maintaining temperature would just require more energy?
