Reply to The amount of people that do not know that a cold sore is herpes is surprising. by BellyScratchFTW
The amount of people that don’t know that almost everyone in the world has the herpes virus inside them already is way more surprising. About 90% has at least 1 of the 2 strains.

Reply to The direction of temperature is arbitrary. There is no reason for hot objects to be assigned a larger number than cold ones by Crux_AMVS24
No it's not. Temperature has a lower limit. Heat does not. Therefore, it makes intuitive sense to i crease the number as heat increases.

Half of these “shower thoughts” are just air heads thinking they’ve had an immense philosophical or scientific revelation

Reply to There's a perception that you can't just invent a word, and yet hundreds of thousands of them have been invented by pufballcat
Most of the words you know weren't invented but adapted. For example: goodbye. Starting in the 16th century (approximately-im going from memory) it was an English common phrase to say "God be with ye" when parting company and this eventually was adapted to goodbye.

When Type 1 Herpes is so common that over 2/3 of the population has it, why even care? The people that are trying to avoid it are in the minority.

Sorry mate, this is too complicated for Redditors as evidenced by the comments in this thread.

I think vowels play a part in syllables. Sense 'crisps' only has one vowel, it has only one syllable.

I'm only hearing one, myself, so I guess there are at least three answers...

Im an accidental gleeker bruh.
I salivate for all kinds of weird, non food related, stimuli.
My intentional gleek can take out a snipers nest from 60 yards.
My dentist had to hire an extra person to hold another vacuum in my mouth nonstop.

Here's another shower thought: Language is just an evolved form of babbling. In fact you can probably call it babbling in a way that it is taught to other people.

We know it'll happen and the kids will learn eventually, we just don't want to be the ones responsible for it.

Some people can't even get the intro if they can't conceal children. Honestly pretty sad if you think about it when people have some kind of problem with their reproductive system and so they can't have biological children.

1 and 2 are not interchangeable. You can get genital HSV1 from someone with oral HSV1. You don't get HSV2 from someone who has HSV1.

And this is different than That 70s show... how? Because that was most certainly tailored to its target audience.
