I don’t get it.
Cronus would be proud
I used to have nosebleeds as a kid. I sometimes used my mom’s tampons and her reaction was: “That’s actually a good idea.”
Tampons absorb, which isn’t great if you need to help clot your leaky flesh. It’s better than nothing, but gauze or tissue would be better.
Tampons absorb to grow thicker and then staunch the bleeding by blocking it. It’s literally called a tamponade.
Tamponade is what they drink in hell on hot days.
Tamponade is what they drink in heaven on hot days.
If you get nosebleeds often, especially in cold weather, get some ‘nasal spray’ I don’t know the exact name but mine is from Dollar General and says “Nasal Spray oxymetazoline HCL 0.05%” on the bottle.
It’ll stop it in like 5 minutes instead of 30. With the only drawback being that I now have a slightly bloody bottle in my purse 😅Also they sell little cotton tubes that you can put up your nose and those work pretty well also.
Bonus: absorb some cocaine in it so when you use it, you get a burst of energy!
If you get nosebleeds often, go to the dr. They can fix it. Had mine fixed as a teen, went from weekly to never.
I’d add to this that 30 minute nosebleeds don’t sound that healthy either!
Mine are about once a month or two. I live in Florida so the air is humid and warm, my issue isn’t with the frequency but rather that they won’t stop. I’m on a medicine that has a side effect of thinning blood, I looked into getting it fixed and decided wasn’t big enough of a deal to actually do.
Glad it worked for you though!
Rather die before I bought medicine from a dollar general. Can’t trust that shit
Dollar general stuff is actually often the exact same brands in smaller portions.
It’s legally the same chemical, and often the same brand. However, their handling of potentially sensitive products is profoundly lacking. See: https://apnews.com/article/dollar-tree-lead-cinnamon-applesauce-wanabana-7376af3115d7fe506ad2cb168787d1d3
I wouldn’t trust them to properly comply with a recall that I as a consumer would usually trust the store to handle, like taking products they know to be contaminated off the shelf. Additionally, I wouldn’t trust them to ship or store those products in compliance with manufacturers guidelines.
Most things will be fine, but some things breakdown or develop issues if not stored in what are typically reasonable conditions.
For example, if kept too long or in improper conditions, aspirin can break down significantly and provide less benefit. Annoying if you’re taking it for a headache, potentially dangerous if you’re taking it for clot prevention.
Likewise bottled water, although typically drawn from municipal water supplies, is not held to the same standards and can develop bacterial growth if left in poor conditions too long.Then there’s the chronic staffing issues that can lead to food that requires refrigeration, like meat or dairy, to sit waiting to be put in the cooler for far, far longer than is safe.
Dollar stores are great for stuff like “I lost my shirt at the beach and I need something so I can go inside a restaurant”, crayons, and general “stuff” you need only a small amount of and can afford the relative markup or only need infrequently. I wouldn’t trust them for anything that goes inside a living creature because I have no confidence they even have enough staff to try to handle things appropriately.
Dollar stores are great for stuff like
also wrapping paper and cheap 3 ring binders.
I don’t get it
It looks like he just ate a baby.
I’m not sure I do either but my guess would be the other lady thinks he’s huffing a menstrual pad?
Or munching on a bloody diaper…
Appreciate your willingness to admit it.
It looks like he is munching on a bloody diaper or menstrual pad to the lady in the other car.
Would also be funny if it was a maxipad.
maxipads were invented for wounds like this. the menstrual solution came after the war.
The fact that I get to learn cool facts while commenting on memes is a reason why I love the Internet.
I read someone say that (here or on Reddit) when there was post that Russian soldiers were given tampons to use to stop bleeding.
I searched for history of tampons and that looked like the person was just bullshitting. I think OP probably saw the same comment as me.
