Brushed and flossed. Most people brush daily, but very few people floss every day.
16% seems a very unsurprising number.

Reply to New research analyses fake interaction services on social media. Researchers found that for less than 9 cents you can get 1000 views on TikTok, SoundCloud or Instagram/IGTV. Buying Instagram followers is more expensive: for 4.3 euros you can get 1000. by Wagamaga
Hmm classic chinese deal. For little you get a lot, but the quality? Meh.

Nothing makes me more angry than a florist with a “bokay’s sold here” sign

What if we later find that our gut biome or whatever is basically holding all the data for human civilization inside, and when we get really sick and it throws off the balance, we can get reprogrammed. Hmmm

One that irritates me is “Xlear” xylitol nasal spray that is pronounced, you guessed it, “clear.”

There's a paragraph of Methods on how they chose to deal with those: Confounding factors Age in years and smoking in three categories (never, past and current smokers) were assessed. Total cholesterol, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) were measured by the automated enzymatic technique. We assessed dyslipidemia by total/HDL cholesterol ratio which was proven the best predictor of future atherosclerosis.30 Diabetes was ascertained by medical record review. Subjects were considered to have diabetes if documented diagnoses were in the medical records or if they were being treated for diabetes. To avoid confounding by affluence and high socioeconomic status, we adjusted educational levels, income and private insurance status.

That is interesting: it is certainly how I feel. However, I know many people who would not know that one is misspelt and therefore I am uncertain if they would feel negatively toward the one that was misspelt.

Dental hygiene companies reached saturation with toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss, so created a new pointless product to sell. It gave people oral cancer.
That's the strange phenomenon explained. If you need to wash your mouth out, salt water or even just water will do.

Reply to Pregnant women and new mothers with schizophrenia are three times more likely to visit the emergency room as a result of being victims of interpersonal violence, a new study finds. About 1 in 5 (20.7%) women with schizophrenia experience physical or sexual violence during their lifetime. by MistWeaver80
According to the CDC, 1 in 5 women will experience rape in their lifetime, and 1 in 4 women will experience “severe physical violence” from an intimate partner. (source
I’m confused about the numbers then because it’s pretty well established that people with schizophrenia are more likely to be victims of violence, but the 20.7% rate cited here is lower than the general (female) population.

But the question is how would your brain even know to do that? I barely know what a frock is, I can’t imagine my brain suddenly using that word regularly. It’s just so crazy!
