I dated a girl who would always bring a bar of soap with her when she slept over. She’d bury it in the sheets at the end of my bed. Said it prevented restless legs.

…why does that soap have a bite out of it?

Legs take a bite and get satiated and rest

…why does that soap have a bite out of it?

Because people see the picture and think "What in the world why does that soap have a bit out o fit" and then go ahead and click the link. And after doing various "experiments" over the years, advertisers have found that these sort of practices substantially improve engagement/click-through metrics and ultimately result in higher traffic / sales / ad revenue / etc.

Lol I've never encountered this meme before, even though I was very much online in that period. I'm part of todays lucky 10000!

Reminds me of this gem: "Download now"

Download what?

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

It could be anything, even a car!

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I really hope it's a new bicycle.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't do that

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

It could be more RAM.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

It's a surprise, you need to download, install and give it all the admin rights on your computer to get your very own surprise

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

I think Tumblr is still fun! It's not as lively anymore and the staff suck, but no algorithm means you really only see stuff you choose to see and the tag blocking makes it so easy to curate your experience.

And I'll take weird unhinged ads over TikTok shop or whatever happens on Twitter any day lol

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

No way! I need to know this soap hack NOW

Apparently, a bar of soap releases the mineral magnesium while you sleep, which believers say will relieve nocturnal leg cramping. And for those who suffer from RLS, Dr. Mehmet Oz of The Dr. Oz Show recommends leaving a bar of lavender soap under the sheets overnight. The relaxing scent of lavender can ease your symptoms, he claims

[-] [email protected] 84 points 1 week ago

Any time I see Dr. Oz, I immediately disregard anything as snake oil. The man is a terrible human being...preying on the desperate so he can line his pockets with more cash. He was already a very successful surgeon making boatloads of money. How much of a greedy asshole can you be to then start lying to people to get more when you're already rich?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Yeah that’s why I copied the whole text. I was like ok why not then entered the wizard of BS

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

Being a surgeon is hard work. Grifting is a lot easier and cushier.

[-] [email protected] 45 points 1 week ago

Dr Oz

ah the universal symbol for "don't do this"

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago

If the small amount of magnesium in soap can do that, just imagine what sprinkling magnesium powder all over your bed could do!

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

i've replaced my mattress with a solid block of magnesium. It's cool in the summer.

Your bed change to a beach cos you’re so relax 😎

Travel agencies hate this one trick

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Better spray some water on your bed after the magnesium, you know to help it soak in.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

It can even undo all the damage from smoking. So go ahead and do both at the same time

How does the soap knows that I'm sleep?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

It knows when you've been bad or good, so be good, for goodness sakes!

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

I've used DSGE, it's highly effective at JTXNE.

Wdym? Tumblr is just a porn site, no idea why people use it for blogs.

Gridr, Tinder, Tumblr, it fits right in

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

It hasn't been a porn site in checks notes 7 years.

They did lift the full nudity ban, but they still ban you arbitrarily for a nip slip, or being trans and targeted by TERFs, insulting the WordPress guy, etc.

I can use lemmy for porn too, so I should call it a porn site...

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

The internet is for porn

I tried Tumblr out briefly not long ago, finally. And I guess I've missed the good days? The place feels a little too much like a shopping mall as opposed to what I was expecting. These tumblr memes always gave me 'old internet' vibes but what I saw was a lot closer to modern Facebook style.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

It's still a social media site. What you get out of it is very dependent on tags and people followed to my understanding. Not so different from reddit and lemmy experience being dependent on the communities and active posters/commenters.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Looks like Taboola ads. Jesus fucking Christ I hate them, but they’re nearly single-handedly keeping local news stations afloat at this point.

The ads are so bad i don't know if this is satire or not

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I'm pretty sure the guy from the shitty sonic movies isn't dead too.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Is that shemar moore? If he is, he also was in criminal minds and at least i havent seen anything about him being dead.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah he’s not dead.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

He has his own show SWAT now. Definitely not dead

I don't know why, but "well, he died" sent me for some reason. I may be tired.
