  • My dental hygienist told me that the best tools for cleaning your gums are wooden toothpicks.

    the second best are the interdental cleaners.

    The worst are the plastic toothpicks and the dental floss.

    I’ve been using a combination of the wooden toothpicks and interdental cleaners for a few years and they are game changing.

    Also use a good electric toothbrush and an tongue scraper.

    An electric toothbrush gets into the places in between your teeth that a normal brush can’t get to and an tongue scraper is a game changer for the smell of your breathe overall.

    Take good care of your teeth and gums. Brush 2 times a day, clean your gums at least 1 time a day and scrape your tongue.

    Bad dental hygiene and no gum cleaning whatsoever will lead to receding gums and may lead in extreme cases to periodontitis .

    Receding gums are a real thing and when they happen they DO NOT grow back. Your roots of your teeth will be exposed which are a pain in the ass itself.

    Bad dental hygiene and no gum cleaning will also lead to deeper “gum pockets” which can lead to periodontitis. Look up what that means for your teeth and gums and you will start taking care of your mouth flora like a possessed being.

    I am not a dentist of any kind, a few years ago I just really took an interest in dental health and tried to educate myself about the subject for a few weeks.

    Correct me where I am wrong or if you want to elaborate on something, be my guest ;)!


    • FF7 Crisis core is my favorite game ever. The gameplay, story, voice acting and music are all top notch.

    • DEF Jam Fight for NY is another PSP favorite for me. I really liked the combat and customization options for your character. It was just an enormous fun game.

    • Daxter was the first PSP game I played and it was also just an really fun and good game.

    • Dissidia Final Fantasy is als just a really good game with an amazing combat system.

    • The naruto games were really good. I think it was the ultimate ninja heroes games that had this interesting gameplay and also a story mechanic with an floor system that you had to climb and play through.

    • Bleach heat the soul series are fun fighting games. I think not all of them were released in the west but I recommend them because the gameplay was super fun.





  • Should we care that other people still use reddit?

    Do you have to chose one or the other?

    Why are people so hell bent to “take over” Reddit?

    I found an alternative in Kbin and Lemmy that suits my needs and focuses on user experience and growing communities instead of growing the pockets of a handful of people.

    I decide to not use Reddit anymore because the upper echelon can go fuck themselves.

    Is it so weird to have a set of values and stop using a service/product, because they cross the boundaries one has set for themselves?

    I have used Reddit for more than a decade and I haven’t missed it all.

    I am here because I enjoy it and not because I have a deeper desire for Reddit to evaporate out of nowhere.








  • It depends, how long until it will not be fun anymore to see every sub turned into a meme?

    I give it 2 days. After that people will stop tuning in as regularly.

    Also traffic != money in regards of advertisers.

    If traffic increases but the engagement lowers then that is a death blow to reddit.

    The metric that got posted 1-2 days ago that engagement was cut down from 31 to 17 seconds during/after the blackout is huge and a metric the advertisers will look at.




  • The word here is indeed supplementing!

    I like that I see the disclaimer about it being an addition and not an replacement more and more on the products that you can buy like protein shakes, protein bars and such.

    They should be an addition to your meals/diet and not an replacement.

    Of course there is no harm in replacing 1 meal a day for a shake or such if one feels like it but all meals is not gonna help in the long run and isn’t giving enough variety in your nutrition.

    But indeed like you said, they are good as supplements!
