bob_harris_uk 2d So, as a bloke, could a lady please explain the difference between a Left and Right Tampon?

The L tampon supports your right to choose and comes with free healthcare while the R packet is actually empty because only whores use tampons to stem the bloody tears of a disappointed uterus, Bob. 

traciesearing: It's not left and right, champ. It's light and regular. But thanks for confirming why men shouldn't be in charge of reproductive health policy. 

thediaryofrihanna: Why are ppl roasting him? It's an honest question. You wear the L if your favorite Taylor Swift album is Lover and the R if its Reputation. 

ladypartsdoc: As an Ob/Gyn, I feel compelled to answer. It's basically a choose your own adventure situation, and choosing L or R depends on the type of period you want to have. L is for 'Lovely', you wake up feeling awesome, get lots of compliments, and everything goes your way. R is for 'Raging', you feel awful, and

I know it's different over there in the UK with your parliamentary system, but here in the USA, L is for Democrats and R is for psychopaths. 

scrappy: Totally tracks that a man could go his whole life and not realize we have two separate vaginas to attend to.

L = light flow which means you have 20 minutes or a hard sneeze before you completely underestimated what is actually going to happen and an underwear change is coming. R = Regular flow which means you have an hour, or a hard sneeze, before it's a bloodbath. There is also S for Super which simply means stay home cause you're just asking for trouble otherwise. 

voxoutthebox: One tampon always tells the truth. One tampon always lies. 

yvonnelorkinsta: Lefty loosey righty tighty 

 alliewarshaw: As a vagina owner I appreciate you asking instead of trying to tell me why they're left and right.

Much like "crab", industrial music is constantly re-evolving from first principles basically anywhere where there's a bunch of metal and plastic laying about

Agreed! I’ve picked up several books in the last month or so because you mentioned they were on sale.

Two excellent hardcover Star Trek books by Diane Duane -Spock’s World and Rihannsu. I’ve had these for, uh, several decades.

Looks like I have more @diane.dianeduane.com hardcovers than I remembered! This in addition to whatever paperbacks are crawling around. (Forgot I picked up the omnibus to supplement my disintegrating paperbacks.)

I hear both transphobes and normal folk talking about Testosterone as a performance enhancing drug and Estrogen as performance decreasing drug, and that's dude centric and not true. T and E are both performance enhancing drugs for sports. They just enhance different aspects.

Is the water directly related or just a poorly timed random other disaster?

Yes! This is one of the hardcovers I’ve carried with me across the decades. It’s so good.

Opinion | What Hulk Hogan Left Behind

The NYT has a heavy house style that prevents me from using more, shall we say, colorful, language to describe Hulk Hogan but I think I still got my central point across here www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/o...

Last fall, the First Lego League project was focused on the ocean, so we had a massive number of requests for marine biologists come in to Skype a Scientist. I just got word that this year's theme is archaeology.

Know any archaeologists? tell them we're gonna NEED 'em.

A medium-sized metal bowl sitting on flagstones, half-full of tasty sungold tomatoes, with sober fresh basil and shiso and alpine strawberries on top. There are a few carrots behind the bowl, their green fluffy tops curled around behind the bowl.

A golden, dry, well-munched field with a herd of more than a hundred multi-colored goats. Some are nibbling dry grass, most are napping under the shade of some big oak trees in the background.

It’s always a good hike when you see the fire prevention goats.

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like β€œmy stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

I posted this deep in a thread, but adding it so more people can see it: if you have horrible side effects from the mRNA vaccine, you can mitigate them by taking a double dose of a H1 antihistamine right before vaccination.
