You could call it a colonial mindset. Wonder where that way have come from.

I mean the mathematician might be right here. A lot of bathroom scales are for measuring people-sized weights and a (granted, normal-sized) bowel movement would likely not be measured accurately on its own.

If we go with the engineer’s method for an accurate poo-only measurement, we’re going to need in involve a set of kitchen scales somewhere. This adds a further complication : does this person shit in the kitchen or do we bring the kitchen scales into the bathroom.

I may be thinking too much about this.

And here again we see the bizarre confusion between the Caduceus and the rod of Asclepius. The one with two snakes (and wings) is traditionally representative of commerce, representing Hermès/mercury. The one for medicine traditionally has the one snake and no wings - symbol of the Greek god Asclepius, the healer.

I see this a lot in representations from the USA - is that the case here ? If so, it seems rather sadly appropriate given the state of US-American healthcare.

Where is this comic from? I’d love to find more by this artist. Googling came up with something from Soundcloud crediting Estefanía Irene, an artist who goes by @worry__lines, but I can’t find anything else from them.

Maybe they only made the one, shining, perfect comic and then stopped.

Same - I could never understand interdental brushes. How the hell was I supposed to get that between my teeth when even I waxed floss won’t fit? So I gave up and now use an electric toothbrush +waterpick when I can be arsed. My dentist is more than happy so I guess I’m doing ok.

This is an excellent suggestion. Transforms it from massive cringe to pretty self-deprecatingly funny.

Yup - same in Australia

Thanks for the list

Doesn’t seem to work, does wefwef not show formatting?

Thanks for taking the time to help - still doesn’t seem to be working for me, and I can’t see a spoiler tag in your comment either.

Might be wefwef, might be my instance, might be my phone. In any case not a huge drama, I’ll just have to avoid any spoilery conversations.

Thanks !

Thank you !

Noice!
