This is such an innocuous post, and by definition, you cannot be wrong about your personal subjective tastes. But the replies…
One reason I’ve severely curtailed my time is the structure of these sites encourages going into stranger’s spaces to argue, and that entitlement is fucking creepy.

Also an amateur soap maker (well, I don’t know Witch’s credentials, maybe they’re a pro), and all modern shampoo you can buy at the drugstore are detergent based since the pH is very neutral.
Oil based soaps tend to be alkalinic, which is fine for skin but can damage your scalp and roots over time.

Baby shampoo mixed with water recommended as optimal treatment for pepper spray by an ophthalmologist, which speaking as a maker of soap & “personal care products” makes total sense. Milk products not recommended primarily due to risk of infection. Plain water is fine & much better than nothing!
The guy who makes funny doctor videos (who actually is an ophthalmologist) just made a couple on pepper spray generally and with contacts. We live in weird times.

So this is a lot of very fast cuts (because AI clips longer than a few seconds show the seams real quick), and they have that weird AI composition that’s just people looking off frame with no real purpose.
And these are the good generations. How many bad generations did it take to arrive at this?

I heard somewhere that if 100 percent of Americans supported a piece of legislation, it has only a 30 percent chance of passing.
Likewise if 0 percent of Americans support it, it has a 30 percent chance of passing.
So there’s the answer (sort of).

You see the difference?
Stating something that might sound ridiculous but people say with sincerity, if you just post that, you’re just posting the same dismissive platitudes.
Claiming it isn’t serious doesn’t make it funny.

Tone tags by the way are helpful to convey the intended inflection, since you can’t use that in writing.
Using a tone tag is not to do all the heavy lifting, there needs to be clear clues in the structure that you’re joking. A tag is complimentary.

Pro-tip about humor as someone who uses humor a lot:
A joke needs to be obvious. In writing, it has to be clear from the way the sentence parses out that it’s a joke.
If you need to say, “This is a joke,” or add the /s tone tag, it’s a terrible joke.

So yes - we may “over-explain” or “overthink”
