I bet I could tell a gen x or baby boomer some shit about a ānew hot sauce in the eye challengeā and theyād immediately believe me and freak the fuck out about how stupid kids are. They always tell me about all these āchallengesā that Iāve never heard of before.
I was drinking Propel (berry flavored) when my tongue starting hurting and I started tasting blood. Now, obviously, this drink isnātĀ āgoodā for you but it of course presents itself as one so I looked up if itās good for you. (https://www.iamgoingvegan.com/is-propel-water-healthy/).Ā Found out itās super unhealthy and resists insulin. My diabetic dad is bringing these home from work for us. And now I gotta text my mom to tell her to tell him to stop getting them, because he refuses to take care of himself so his wife and kids have to. Already bad with Propel. Now, Iām thinking okay so why does it hurt my tongue? (http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33861019). So I look it up. Found some people talking about it causing itching on the face and apparently it has warnings about that on the label (I canāt find that so it must be an old version or something). Another guy there says it causes his tongue to hurt and bleed. Mine did too. I didnāt see blood but was also able to taste it. So whatās up with that? Then, I think, well after a couple minutes I feel fine but immediately after drinking my mouth is really dry. Of course resulting in drinking more. I know some water companies do this, they make it salty so you have to drink more (Dasani). So, Iām guessing Propel (of course) does it too, to make you drink more (while also presenting as a healthy drink). Now, Iām not a fast drinker. I donāt even like to drink, I do force myself to drink 2-3 bottles of water a day so I donāt get dehydrated (which I know by having bad headaches), but itās not my thing to chug down a gallon a day. With Propel, I seem to start and immediately finish. Itās crazy how fast it goes. I look up why it dries my mouth. (https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/e6mmid/why_does_water_make_me_thirstier/). It was explained in a way that I canāt explain so you can see it through the link. Someone else said it was snake oil which confused me a bit. (https://www.thefitnessskeptic.com/blog/2018/3/18/fit-water-the-definition-of-mainstream-snake-oil). In the end, Propel isnāt healthy at all for you. This is probably already obvious but hereās just some of the facts Iāve found, so, yeah, itās probably a good idea to stick to water.
i watched the livestream of trump signing executive orders and answering questions from the press. here are some of the big ones + other things mentioned today:

january 6 insurrectionists are to be immediately released/pardoned
he pardoned the leader of the proud boys
tiktok has a 90 day extension, during which the US gov will try to buy 50% of tiktok. trump said he no longer cares that china is "spying on our young people," but he wants to buy half of tiktok so the US government "can police it a little bit, or a lot." if tiktok will not sell, it will be banned in the US again.
he claims the people of greenland want to become part of the US

all federal employees are required to work in the office five days a week, no more working from home
trump said the US is going to "pursue our manifest destiny into the stars" and plant a US flag on mars
sources on what executive orders were signed: one two three
and lastly, some things that happened during the inauguration:
the pastor who blessed the inauguration during the swearing in ceremony has already announced a new meme coin/cryptocurrency
trump did not put his hand on the bible + there are rumors the pope is going to say trump is the antichrist
the wealthiest people on the planet ā the CEOs of twitter/tesla, amazon, google, meta, and even the CEO of tiktok ā who own almost all communication platforms used by westerners ā stood directly behind trump as he was sworn in
elon musk, the wealthiest person alive, who has been given his own vaguely-defined US government agency, did a nazi salute on stage at the presidential podium. neo-nazis are already celebrating
Percyās āyouāre gonna find outā to Ares ohhhhh holy shit

In 2022, people were cancelling Stranger Things for the tattooed numbers being reminiscent of the Holocaust and them filming in LukiÅ”kÄs Prison. Now, those same people are ācancellingā it for having multiple Jews āZionistsā who are a part of it. No opinions on the first part, but itās just interesting to see.
it's cool how even normal people on the left have gone from like performatively complaining about how antisemitic harry potter was to just unilaterally deciding that jewish pain and antisemitism don't matter because someone might mistake them for a zionist if they defend us
