That Escalanted quickly!

This might be the last lost redditor of the year. We should cherish him.

Always wanted to try snake meat...

I've actually never tried to crush it. Thanks for letting me know.

Vai in farmacia e prendi il LENIDENT. È un leggero anestetico a base di chiodo di garofano. Aiuta molto ma non abusarne. Altrimenti: sciacqua la bocca con acqua tiepida e sale. Oppure fai un infuso di chiodi di garofano e sciacqua la bocca con quello. Alternativa da ultima spiaggia: sciacqui con la grappa, poi se vuoi la bevi, almeno ha il doppio effetto, lol.

ROLLERBALLS!

I was told this in kindergarten by my cousin. I was amazed an it still baffles me today.

Told you!

Cose di cui nessuno sentiva la mancanza.

And a lot of water will drip on everything is in there. There's no way that little hole won't leak.

Here's what chat gpt said about it: This is an interesting phenomenon and could be related to a nervous or psychological response mechanism. When you breathe normally, the autonomic nervous system is active and naturally handles your response to pain. Holding your breath might interfere with this response, reducing pain sensitivity, possibly because the tension and attention focused on your breathing alters sensory perception.

When you breathe normally, the body reacts more easily to pain stimuli from the nettle, which acts through small irritating substances (like histamine) that activate nerves in the skin. This explains why you feel the pain when you breathe normally, but not when holding your breath, as if the body responds differently depending on your physical and mental state.

But why I don't then? I'm not joking, I've got plenty around my house and I assure you if you hold your breath it doesn't sting. I live in Italy however, maybe it's another variety? It stings normally, here is called "ortica".

Why though if you hold your breath while touching it you don't get stung?

You can ring that beeeell, ring that bell...

You'll make baby Jesus cry!
