"Misuse"

You can take my Q-tips from deep within my cold, dead ear canals.

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

“Was”

Like some far-er distant future where we have cotton swaps the size of our elbows? Be real this is sci fi not fantasy.

It's just a convention look the proper tense is willen haven beenen III esq. but when you got as deep into time travel as star trek did it was easier just to use past tense all the time

Let’s not get lawyers involved

"Colonal Worf, reporting for duty.

I'm just going to say it right now, you should plead guilty and seek a settlement because I don't think you're going to win this."

This is insane one minute we’re talking about typos then some time traveling dingus pops in says he’s the personification of “to be” doesn’t have any future Q-tips to prove their timeline and suddenly I’m on trail for what? It’s a kangaroo court.

Earl grey, extra tribble please

Yeah, you have to be wary of using tips from Q, it can feel right but there are reasons for concern, misuse can cause unintended consequences.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, this seems like bad advice-

Q-tip, you say?

(I need an image editing thing better than Whiteboard...)

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I just got paint.net (that's not supposed to be a link how to I make it not a link) and I like it so far.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I should have specified "for my phone." I use Paint.net on the computer already. Really just want a lasso tool and stroke on the text with something on Android for quick shitposts.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Gotcha. I wish I knew something what could help. I'm a novice at all this. I just discovered meme it so like a week ago. Still trying to figure out where all the other resources are.

[–] dynamo@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Dafuq would i use to clean my ears then?

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago

It would still be the standard issue Q-Tip, but by regulation you can not go deeper than the exterior.

[–] dukk@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just wash them in the shower.

[–] dynamo@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Not enough pressure to work

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nothing. Your ears are self-cleaning unless you got a medical condition.

[–] dynamo@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

bullshit. If i don't clean out the ear canals they get blocked entirely

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Talk with your doctor about that, but typically that shouldn't happen under normal conditions, though some people's ear canals are narrower where that can occur more often. There are proper unclogging medications you can use for that.

[–] dynamo@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I mean, a qtip works tho

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I have to clean my ears all the time because if I don't hello? Hello is anyone there HELLO?

[–] swordsmanluke@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago

I got the earwax but good. I usually abuse qtips too.

But.

If you want to really know what a clean ear canal is like, get a squeeze bulb. You fill it with hot water (hot like tap, not like boiled) and then hydroblast your ear holes until all the wax melts and runs out.

When you get rid of a real bad wax ball... Aww man, it's amazing. It's like you just removed earplugs. The world is suddenly so much louder.

Fuckin' amazing.

...scuse me, I think Imma go find my squeeze bulb.
