Sure, but I've never heard anyone call a cold sore herpes.

Both herpes 1 and 2 can give you genital and oral ulcers

What exactly is the problem? It keeps all the good shit in!

I think most people only ever really refer to hsv2 as herpes, I've never heard hsv1 (cold sores) referred to as herpes, because it's a bit alarmist.

Most world issues are "easily" fixable, and they don't get fixed, not because we don't know how to do it, but because the people who could fix them don't want to.

Wether it is because of idiotic politicians that want to protect their power or sociopathic businessmen who don't want to lose money, at the end of the day there's always that one asshole who ruins it for the rest of us.

They will be complaining that the portions are too much and trying to pass a law for them to be reduced for everyone.

The outside one is cold sores (herpes), canker sores are fine.

1000 years ago there was no love letters- basically trading a goat for a woman or something idk

Wow, it feels like just yesterday that we were celebrating the discovery of Pluto! Time flies when you're having fun exploring the universe.

what an incredibly braindead response, way to miss the point! i didn't expect you to get it anyway...despite how obvious it was

Could you go look up some stuff about the zeroth law of thermodynamics(or read some of my replies on other comments). I have a book to recommend if you’d like. I’m tired of getting downvoted to oblivion cuz the general public has misconceptions about certain things and don’t even hear me out

You can also accomplish that by putting them in your ears

I was just watching a video on Moral Development (subtopic of Developmental Psychology) that I'm reminded of. It's about how children/people develop morals. The focus is on how they arrive to a conclusion regarding a dilemma (a man steals heavily marked-up medicine for his dying wife)...how do you justify the action of stealing?

The stages (according to Kohlberg's theory) go from preconventional (what is the consequence of my action? e.g. the man shouldn't steal because he might go to prison) to conventional (what would society think? e.g. the man should steal to be a "good husband") to postconventional (what are my overall ethical principles? e.g. committing a small crime for the greater good).

Postconventional is where we start to consider "social contracts" and "abstract ethical principles" which I think relates to this showerthought.

And Developmental Psychology is about how we become to be who we are in terms of physical, cognitive, social and emotional factors. So I would say that your reasoning and justification for morally grey scenarios is a defining characteristic of you but probably not the "main part" because there's so much to psychology.

These sores that can lead to genital herpes, are they cold sores, or canker sores? I’m not quite clear on the difference. Some are on the outside of your lips, the other on the inside of you cheeks/gums?

Which one can be transmitted as genital herpes?

Seems to be some confusion here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/comments/10pjlib/the_amount_of_people_that_do_not_know_that_a_cold/j6ky6h1/

False. "Heat" or "thermal energy" is more like micro-kinetic energy, as it is the energy of motion at the atomic scale. The faster the molecules are vibrating, the higher the temperature.

If you create a utopia, them there will be peace. No one's going to complain with a full mouth of food.
