The best way to remain beautiful your whole life is being born in a family of (white) millionaires, remain a millionaire through inheritance and by working on your family’s cushy business without ever having to worry about nothing for not even a second of your life and also having access and being able to aford the most modern and technological advancements in beauty. If that is not enough and you still feel time is getting close you can create your own fake science and get even more money (maybe that helps?)
this and using sunscreen
and drinking water
For us poors sunscreen is the best value per dollar. Especially men, because women often include it with other cosmetics (even if it’s not that effective and you should be using a straight up sunscreen)
That’s not fair… Plenty of Arab, Indian, Chinese, etc billionares who are selfish idiots. Leave ethnicity out of it. No war but class war.
Pretty sure millionaires age better regardless of skin color, don’t know why race is involved
I imagine due to media beauty standards being quite racist
Beauty standards are more classist than racist, they always point to what the powerful perceived as attractive or things that set them apart from their “lessers”, the farmhand was hardly considered more attractive than the slaves his boss’s neighbor owned. That said race plays a part but it isn’t THE answer
I added that because for black milionaires the “ever having to worry about nothing for not even a second of your life” don’t apply
You know they worried at least once in their lifes about a police siren lol
Oh let’s be real. Every 1%er is worried. Why the fuck do you think Luigi got an 80s action movie perp walk and they’re all building bunkers?
Eric Adam’s perp walk was so fucking clownish, he should be considered part of MAGA.
Mixing an acid and a base makes a salt. She’s drinking saltwater.
It’s got 'lectrolytes!!
Yeah, it’s got what plants crave
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to mutilate my thirst.

I can’t believe this exists as a product, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised.
Add a little sugar and you have a solid rehydration blend then
I want dehydrated water.
Just like mom used to make!
You forgot to put two versions out: One with an American flag, cross, and an M16 on it and another with a discouraging message to prevent people to vote for the most left candidate.
I can sell you a bottle of 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen. Just add fire. Boom. Water.
The boom is litteral though
Such a stupid cunt snake oil salesperson.
What’s the pH of snake oil?
With or without lemon slice?
Is it African or a European lemon?
Maybe the same as her “Goop”.
Or is she a stupid snake cunt oil salesperson?
Okay, let’s see … stupid cunt sales oil snakeperson?
Hmm, does “Goop” sell Cunt oil?
Can you say that again without the misogyny?
I mean salesperson is gender neutral and stupid cunt is pretty gender neutral too, even if it originally referred to female genitalia. Somehow genitalia based insults have become gender neutral, or some of them at least.
I assumed the cunt part was to tie in her bizarre candles

Why shouldn’t I be offended on behalf of other people? You just were.
Or is just that I shouldn’t be offended on behalf of people that you don’t like? Like women?

She’s a rotten cunt, scam artist. Don’t care how you label it.
Is there a consensus view on whether or not Gwyneth is a genuine numbnut or is just cynically exploiting people who are?
Ask her vagina candle?
Instructions unclear, vagina candle stuck in ass.
Dude, it explicitly said vagina candle. This one is on you.
Honestly, a fair point. However a few hours in a hot bath softened the wax enough to squeeze out. Bathroom smells interesting.
You made my Friday reading this.

The most important thing to keep in mind with celebrity actors is that they make a living pretending to be someone/something they’re not. And they’re damn good at it too.
Not to cast doubt on everyone in that profession. Rather, proceed with an abundance of skepticism when considering celebrity endorsements.
Sorry to disappoint y’all. This is actually not so dumb. Chemically she makes a buffer solution.
How a Buffer Solution Works: Example with Baking Soda and Citric Acid
A buffer solution is a system that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acids or bases are added. Buffers are essential in chemistry and biology because many processes require a stable pH.
How Buffer Solutions Work
A buffer usually consists of a weak acid and its corresponding conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid). When an acidic or basic substance is introduced, the buffer reacts to neutralize the added ions, thus stabilizing the pH.
- When an acid (H⁺) is added, the buffer’s base component reacts with it, “soaking up” the excess H⁺ ions.
- When a base (OH⁻) is added, the acid part of the buffer reacts with it, neutralizing the excess OH⁻ ions.
The ability of a buffer to do this depends on the presence of both a weak acid and its conjugate base in appreciable amounts.
Buffer Example: Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) and Citric Acid
Ingredients Involved
- Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO₃): A weak base that can act as a proton acceptor.
- Citric acid (C₆H₈O₇): A weak acid, commonly found in citrus fruits.
When these two substances are dissolved in water, they interact according to the following reaction:
$$ \text{C}_6\text{H}_8\text{O}_7 + \text{NaHCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_7\text{O}_7^- + \text{Na}^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2\uparrow $$
This reaction creates a mixture containing both citric acid (weak acid) and its conjugate base (citrate ion).
How This Buffer System Functions
- If an acid is added to the solution (increasing H⁺), the citrate ion (Citrat-Anion) from the reaction will bind to the excess H⁺, lessening the pH shift.
- If a base is added (increasing OH⁻), the leftover citric acid will release H⁺, which neutralizes the OH⁻, keeping the pH stable.
Key Point:
This buffer is only effective within a certain pH range, which in this case is close to the pKa value of citric acid (around 3-7 depending on which proton is being lost, as citric acid is a triprotic acid).Summary Table
Component Role Action if acid is added Action if base is added Citric acid (C₆H₈O₇) Weak acid Conjugate base absorbs H⁺ Releases more H⁺ to neutralize OH⁻ Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) Weak base (forms buffer) Provides conjugate base (citrate ion) Provides weak acid (citric acid) This mixture resists pH changes thanks to the reversible interplay between the weak acid (citric acid) and its conjugate base (citrate ion), demonstrating the core principle of buffer solutions.
Thanks for the ChatGPT paste
Stomach acid is much more acidic for this buffer to function and even then you shouldn’t need anything of this sort, well, unless your body fails to regulate it’s own secretions (in that case, go to a doctor for gods sake!) At most this would provide you with some nutrients and minerals.
To be fair the top commenter is just explaining what a buffer solution is, and why “adding lemon to alkaline water” isn’t just creating a neutral pH saltwater. They aren’t justifying it’s use as a healthy tonic or anything. I learned something from the comment.
yeah yeah so was I! I was just adding another bit of information.
Alkaline water plus citric acid does not make a buffer solution. And even if it did, it has absolutely no impact on your body when drinking it regardless.
If I wanted an AI answer I could’ve used the shitty website myself, why do you think anybody would be interested in your poorly formatted AI output?
The point isn’t the apparent health benefits of applying the worlds mildest buffer to a ph 2 solution, it’s that it’s the sales equivalent of dihydrogen monoxide.
Thank you Gwenyth
Do these kinds of buffers have health benefits? Why is it good to drink water that has buffering capacity?
I have no idea. I am a chemical engineer, this question has to be answered by a biologist or physician.
Then how is it not dumb?
Because having salt of an acid out of a citric fruit in water, makes it tasty.
I just use some black salt, though. Much cheaper.It’s not dumb in the sense that water that is not alkaline is not the same as water that is alkaline with some added acid.
In Eastern Europe the soft drink created by mixing sodium bicarbonate into water and then adding a tea spoon of lemon juice or vinegar to it was an oft used refreshment before the 80s.
Send me a message too please about the health benefits
All of that fancy chemistry goes out the window because your stomach is full of a strong acid which completely obliterates the buffer solution.
Mixing sodium bicarbonate into water, even with just a teaspoon of acid like vinegar or lemon juice added, is still a good antacid.
Gwyneth seems to mean well albeit ignorant, but I don’t know how Chris Martin put up with her for so long in their marriage. I don’t even know what he saw in her if she is a cuckoo from the start.
- She doesn’t mean well.
- Neither does Chris Martin.
I would gladly curse his whole bloodline for daylight savings.

Giving this much benefit of the doubt to people will be the end of us all.
I’m serious. Hanlons razor, that stupid rule of thumb, has probably caused the most harm of any phrase ever uttered.
I am of the opinion that Hanlon’s Razor best applies to isolated or infrequent occurrences. When something has been going on for
monrhsmonths or years that hurts or takes advantage of people, the more likely explanation becomes malice.Edit: just the typo correction evident in the text.
What is the use of a rule of thumb that is only useful in exceptional cases and requires so much additional filtering?
More than, that, I’m not sure I agree as many types of manipulative behaviours thrive of people using your ruleset. Think many things sales people do, basically most police questions, and on and on.
Pen testers for companies regularly abuse the fact so many people think like this to breach companies with tactics as simple as “aw shit, I forgot my badge at home”.
Permit me to restate: Hanlon’s Razor is a good thing to keep in mind to keep from becoming cynical about the whole of humanity. That said, any situation of importance (security or health, for example) has too great a risk to rely on Hanlon’s Razor, and people facing these should remain vigilant.
As far as basic interpersonal relationships and other relatively low-stakes scenarios, sure, granting some benefit of the doubt can be useful when there aren’t glaring red flags.
All that said, I suppose I agree with you that Hanlon’s Razor is probably not broadly applicable enough in our world to be valuable as a rule of thumb. I prefer to “imagine others complexly”, keeping in mind that the motivations, feelings, and histories of other people are not really reducable to simple caricatures. As such, I try not to make judgments/assumptions about why someone might say or do a particular thing, and where possible/reasonable extend them grace. This is not meant to interfere with the social contract of tolerance: anyone willfully intolerant of someone else who is protected by the contract of tolerance is not protected by the contract of tolerance.
Hanlon’s Razor is a good thing to keep in mind to keep from becoming cynical about the whole of humanity.
I think its terrible precisely because of that. It has people make excuses for other people doing terrible things.
If you try to apply it as a general rule that doesnt apply to anything in particular, what good is it doing? Is it not then only clouding your judgement of groups?
I find that viewing the world cynically is self-reinforcing, and it is a difficult cycle to escape from. Accurate or not, I prefer to think of humans as broadly better than that, without sacrificing pragmatic vigilance for the parts of my life where assumptions of potential innocence aren’t too risky.

I know I cut partially into another sentence but to me its what my big takeaway is. There is an attitude that thinking cynically is bad, even when its accurate, and I don’t see the appeal. It seems to have the mild positive of letting people believe in their fellow man more, but then a bevy of negatives from allowing people to be manipulated more easily.

What level is that though? I’m struggling to think of a point where it doesn’t pay to accurately have a feeling of what the potential of the other person is.
Just an aside, you can make Alkaline lemon water.
It do it:
- Peel a lemon using a vegetable peeler
- Squeeze the bits of peel (pith side up) into a glass or bottle. This allows you to express the oils from the peel.
- Add your Alkaline water to the Glass, the oils will rise to the top, some of it (very little as oils are hydrophobic) will mix with the water, giving it a lemon flavor similar to lacroix.
because the body must “grip” the egg to keep it inside the vagina, sellers claim jade egg use also strengthens vaginal muscles.
I thought it was about the minerals in alkaline water, not the ph itself?
I don’t know why people are so obsessed with water. Just move on with your life.
Cool but what’s her pussy smell like?
like goop
Alkaline water won’t be alkaline for long after it enters the stomach, so it doesn’t really matter
Alkaline water does have a place for LPR sufferers like me because it deactivates the pepsin that has vaporized and deposited itself in my esophagus and throat which when activated by acidic foods will begin to digest my soft tissues. The rest of ways to sell it I agree are completely bunk.
Hey fellow LPR person! Ever looked into baclofen? It’s an oddball, but it helped me and a friend with our LPR.
No but I will take a look, thanks! Always pursuing any lead on this particular issue ;-).
Edit: took a look, looks like pretty serious stuff, any side effects?
The biggest initial issue for many is that it’s pretty sedating, but that lessens with time. I slept like the dead for the first three weeks as baclofen is one of the few drugs that increases the frequency and duration of deep sleep. Now I can take 100 milligrams in a day and not feel a thing. I have literally no side effects.
One downside is sudden cessation is hell. If I miss an entire day, my anxiety gradually increases until it’s through the roof until I start taking it again. Two days results in gradually increasing visual hallucinations. All of this completely reverses within an hour of taking a dose. You must taper off this stuff, but doing it isn’t hard at all. Just don’t go cold turkey.
It’s also a medication that people tend not to grow resistant to. It hasn’t lost any effectiveness for me despite having taken 60-80mg/day for almost two decades.
I used to have constant burning throat pain and the taste of stomach contents. Not anymore! It reduces the frequency of transient lower esophageal sphincter (LES) relaxation and increases its resting tone. Here’s a relevant paper for anyone interested:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9981648/
Bonus: 20 mg for non-users will halt hiccups but will likely also sedate them pretty hard. 10-20 mg will prevent MDMA hyperthermia.
TIL, thank you. It indeed makes perfect sense that it would help for this.
Yeah, mouth to stomach is where if anything it should do something.
Huh, cool.
So I said, blue M&M, red M&M, they all wind up the same colour in the end.
- Homer Simpson
Which is reason number two (pun intended) why brown M&Ms are the superior ones.
Light brown or dark brown?
Yes.
Depends on how many you eat…
Light brown aka tan.
Slightly better for the teeth maybe? And maybe a slight benefit if heartburn is an issue.
Better for the teeth than pH neutral? Nope. For heartburn it might help, but only for a real short time. Non-fat milk would probably be the better choice.
I believe the intended purpose is to reduce the overall acidity of your body, which it will do (negligibly, maybe even immeasuably). Your stomach acid will compensate regardless, but, in doing so, it uses acidic compounds in the process to do so. Whether that is even beneficial in general is debatable at best, though likely not. But mixing in other acids does negate at least some of the alkalinity, which would defeat the entire point, if there is any effect from it.
Edit: Clarified my position a bit. I’m not suggesting that alkaline water is effective at doing anything at all, nor even that its intended purpose would be a health benefit.
Stomach acid is like 10,000,000x more acidic than most alkaline water is basic. Dilution is probably doing an order of magnitude more work than the hydroxide here (meaning just drink more tap water)
I didnt say it would make a significant or even measurable difference. But it will technically drop your overall pH. If I drop any mass of basic material in any volume of acidic material with which it can react, there will be some net change in acidity, even if negligible.
The body maintains homeostasis. It cannot afford to change pH. It is capable to buffer pH by neat biochemical mechanisms.
Yes, I know. And to maintain homeostasis, it has means to make adjustments to changes, like pH. Which means you can change the pH of some fluid in the body within reason, and it will correct this change. We are not saying anything different.
Yep, we agree. I was just pointing out the overall pH doen not change, there are ways to avoid that. From the the previous comment it kimd of seemed as though if you put something acidic in, the overall acidity must increase, which is not the case, so I wanted to make sure random readers don’t get the wrong idea.
Ahh I see you have forgotten pH buffering solutions.
I was more of a physics nerd. Can’t say I’ve heard of such a thing.
Weak acids/bases tend to not fully convert their potential free ions, stabilizing at particular pHs for relatively large ranges of concentration.
You can use that as a basis for solutions that aren’t super-basic but will preserve their pH in response to drips of acid.
Hmm TIL
But please…go on.
It absolutely will not. If it did, it would kill you.
How would a negligible change in your stomach acidity kill you? What do you think tums do?
I never said it does.
It absolutely will not. If it did, it would kill you.
Then what does that mean?
They said:
- Alkaline water won’t change your body’s pH.
- Changing your body’s pH would kill you.
Since alkaline water does not change body pH, it would not necessarily kill the drinker.
- It originally said it would change your bodies pH.
Ok. Then they’re wrong. The human body’s overall pH can vary within to a small degree with little to no effect on your health, let alone kill you. Changing the pH in small amounts, particularly in different areas like the stomach, will not typically harm the body at all. The entire purpose of some medications like antacids is to do that specifically with the stomach, for example.
Probably either referring to a non-negligible difference or to how being alkaline enough to make a real difference would make it basically poisonous.
I’m no phlebectomist, so I can’t say whether they’re right about it or not 🤷🏻
Read what I replied to.
You replied to me, dude. And I said more than one thing. Idk what the hell you’re claiming will kill you.
Even if you drink 10 liter and piss all of it out?
If you drink 10L of anything it will kill you.
Depends on how much time you have…
Fair. Ha ha
