They covered the nipples so people could concentrate.

I think I recall every animal species having its own species of mite, sometimes multiple, not too sure about lice but I wouldn't be surprised.

Reply to TIL Poltergeist, which came out in 1982, was rated PG. This is despite not just the movie fitting perfectly into the horror genre, but also many adult themes including the smoking of marijuana and a deep dive into the occult. by duganaok

Oh, honey. It was a different time. My neighbor's parents took us to see Animal House when I was like 12. Even though my parents had seen the movie, they let us go. Kids in the 80s were not at all protected from sex or horror. Look at Carrie! That movie wouldn't be made now.

Reply to TIL about Janet Parker, the last person to die of smallpox in 1978. She worked above one of the last labs in its last months of permission to study the virus. The day Janet's viral strain was confirmed, Henry Bedson, the doctor in charge of the lab, took his own life. by w0mpum

Took me 170k years to realise that clothing and head lice were different.

Did/does lice not exist for animals ? Genuine question, I've never thought to ask. I know fleas etc. My point being we would have been wearing animal skin/fur and it seems natural for the lice to migrate to us.

Also, fuck bedbugs dude I'd rather have mosquitos, had one experience and I'm still traumatized I will sleep outside fuck those things

I mean, is this supposed to be a shocking fact? Anyone that’s looked at a map before can see Europe is further north than most of North America. What’s the fun fact here?

Every time I start to have faith in humanity again I hear a story like this. I'm glad she's recovering. I hope the men that put her through that get castrated and fed to the lions.

If Disney hadn't taught me to be perfectly happy with the bare necessities, I'd be living an overindulgent and stress-filled life in these turbulent & inflationary times.

Y'all forgetting about the hundreds of other hairy animals we share a planet with? Not to mention the ones we share our house with?

I remember going to the local 7-11 with my neighbor to get smokes and beer for his mom with a note saying it was OK. The clerk would happily send us on our way with a pack of Camels and a six pack of bud, no questions asked.
