What is happening on the cellular level when you rub lotion into your skin, and why is it good for you?

A lot of people are mentioning lipid absorption into the body with lotions. One time my mom told me if I use too much lotion it'll make you gain weight. I dismissed it as crazy because she's really quite crazy, but now I wish to know if this is possible. Can you absorb calories from lotions? I can't find sources I'd consider meritable.

It was a pretty lame joke, frankly. =p

But the comic is the one making the actions of the mother seem sexual. There is inherently nothing sexual about playing with your kid in the tub, imho. The only reason it seems sexual is because the artist decided to go in that direction. I just don't understand the intention. What's the message the artist is trying to convey? Does not wanting your child to be sexually attracted to you mean no bath time or nudity whatsoever? Does wanting to be intimate with your child mean he's going to be sexually attracted to you and you have to deal with that? Neither of these are true and I still don't get what the fucking point of this comic was! Phew. dusts off apron

This. I don't understand this. Why would it be horrible? Why is she spanking him? I don't get it. As everyone else said "babies sometimes get boners" (which admittedly I didn't know was the case).

For some reason this comic really bothered me. I don't think it was clever, I don't know why playing and bath time with your baby was sexualized here, nor do I understand why they sexualized the child himself. Why was this made? I guess this is WTF, after all.

Who is the Star Trek obsessed guy? I want him to be my friend. Trekkies always scoff at me when I share my opinion that Picard was the best Captain. Picard is so the best captain.

Yeah I was pretty content in thinking this was an 'oral sex only' endeavor..

Well, I think you have to look deeper into your question. You're saying "eating lots of food makes you sleepy" I'm pretty sure that's not intuitive. Food => energy. So you have to ask /why/ does food make you sleepy. And Typtophan is a sedative as well as different chemicals involved in the digestive process. I wouldn't call this an urban legend.

I like to do things in certain numbers. I change time intervals so I can do things in sets of 2, 4, 8, 12, or 22. The central focus is around the number 2. 22 and 2 are best. Prime numbers are clearly the bane of evil. I don't feel like this constitutes as OCD because I'm able to break the patterns without feeling bad about it, I just choose not to most of the time. It's like making mundane things into a game... a game that's not very fun, but at least distracting.

I feel like I probably did something like this to my little sister. I used to love, once a week or so, just fucking scaring the shit out of her with a "RAWRRRRRR!!!!" in the shower. Man, that's fucking terrible. I feel terrible. )=

I'm the opposite. I hate socks. I feel like my feet are suffocating. Only wear them when I'm doing physical activity that requires sneakers.

When I make iced lattes at work, you have to fill the cup with ice to the top otherwise the hot espresso melts it all. (you should just put the ice in last, but the ice was by the cups and it was just twice as much time to do it that way). Don't know how many times someone said "Oh I want less ice than that". "Well the espresso will melt i--" "That's ok." And only a second later they ask for more ice and I get to give them "the look".

$750/mo for a 3bed/1bath house with a huge basement; Urbana, IL. It's an old house and it gets a bit cold in the Winter, but damn is it cheap.

Your original comment implied some men might think she wasn't wearing makeup, though.

nomdeweb · 15 days

Dude, you'd have to be pretty daft to think she wasn't wearing makeup.

Most schizophrenics don't have visual hallucinations, but auditory ones. They are usually not friendly. There are also cases with visual hallucinations but these are much less common.

Not me but my boyfriend and anyone who took Ethics in CS at UofI prior to this schoolyear. Crazy fucking lady. Anyway, He was giving his presentation and she said everything was good "But I really wish you had some examples in there" He flips back four slides to the slide titled "EXAMPLES" and asks why those didn't count. She says she doesn't remember them being there. WTF?

I really think you should tell the department head. That would be against most university policies.
