My pair of very distinctive has (partially) duplicated itself

I know this sounds weird as hell, but for years I've had these 2 pairs of fluffy, distinctive patterned socks. 4 socks. 2 different patterns. I know I only had 4 in total because they came as a set. The first pair is fine and still 'normal'. But randomly, there's a third freaking sock of that other pattern. So 5 socks in total. 3 with the same pattern.

Has anything like this happened to anyone else?

Pain slowly driving me crazy

Hello, new to this sub. In my early 20s, a top orthodontist I went to see for a braces consultation suggested I might have tmj disorder due to clicking in my jaw and other issues. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford to proceed with the braces at the time.

My jaw pain issues only really started like a year later. At first, I thought it was due to my wisdom teeth (partially impacted) and had them removed. Now, years later, and especially in the last year, my problems have gotten so much worse. I have crippling jaw/neck/head pain every single day. The only thing that works is a mixture of xanax (street stuff so idk exactly what's in it tbh) and ibuprofen. But the relief is only temporary.

How do people actually live like this? Would braces help? I'm scared I might make things worse again

m25 I'm doing one of those home kit blood tests, and need to use a lancet to get the required blood but my fingers don't really bleed much....

The idea is also kinda gross, idk why. Can I use this thing on my arm or palm instead? Or does this specifically need to be your finger? If possible, I'd prefer to actually use something else to make a small cut (safely) but i'm not sure if that won't ruin the sample? Any advice greatly appreciated!

iPhone 12 pro vs 17 front camera?

Hi guys. I still have an iPhone 12 pro because it refuses to die, but I really want something with a better front camera. Will there be a noticeable difference with one of the newer models? I've seen a few concerning comparison photos where the 12 pro actually seems to have a better quality front camera than 17 but surely that can't be right... Can anyone verify if there's actually a difference to the naked eye?

Which option is better for a complete trading noob - investing in s&p 500 or copy trading?

It won't be huge sums, maybe £100 - 200 per month - is there any point/potential in this, and if so, which option from the above ones should I choose? It's money I can afford to lose if things go badly (I previously tried day trading and things didn't work out so pls don't suggest anything like that, I'm not smart enough with numbers. Also, is now a good time market-wise or nah?

Are these finger-prick blood test kits you do at home and send off to a lab legit?

E.g. Onedaytests? Can anyone knowledgable in these things let me know pls?

What puzzles me is how come all they need is a tiny sample, but when you go to a clinic for the same test they take several vials of your blood. I need a pretty comprehensive one but apparently all they need is a finger prick only. Also, would it be okay to just make a small cut elsewhere and use that blood instead?I feel like it's going to be hard for me to get enough blood from my finger tip.

If someone has been asking you out for a year and has been turned down every time, are they that much into you or just desperate?

Just for context, we met online but don't talk much anymore (never met irl). But every once in a while they will message me again to briefly talk and then ask me out again. For context, I have crippling anxiety (I barely leave the house which is why i turned them down in the first place, they don't know that though). I need advice because I have pretty much zero experience in these things despite being in my mid 20s (never properly dated or anything).

How to get over my weird fear of physical touch?

Hello. I previously posted this in Relationships sub, but the Mods advised me this might be a better place, so it got removed.

Here's what I'm struggling with - I think I want to be in a relationship, but whenever someone tries to make a move, I can't deal with it.. I just end up ghosting/never talking to them again. Despite being in mid 20s, I haven't even let anyone kiss me because it grosses me out. It's just, human bodies are kinda disgusting when you really think about it. Idk what's wrong with me because I do find some people attractive, and I like the idea/concept of intimacy, e.g. I'm fine with it in movies/books. So how to get over it irl? Just to add, I also just never feel 'clean' enough, despite good hygiene, like my body is inherently dirty and maybe that's part of it too. I have a lot of anxiety in general and need xanax to even go out.

tl;dr physical touch scares me and idk how to get over it

Apple watch would always show Above Average cardio fitness (despite my low levels of exercise) but suddenly, in the past 2 weeks or so, it's Below Average

What could be causing this?

If I was prescribed a medication but stopped taking it years ago, can I request it again?

It was a repeat prescription for a minor heart condition. Would I likely need to restart the whole process and get all the tests again or can I just reach out to my GP and request it?

Looking for advice please - how to get rid of this gross mark/what is it?

Hi guys! ^ as on the picture above, it's on my leg, mid-thigh, and I've had it for several years now, and it just won't.go.away. Tried cutting it with a razor once to see if it would like, reset the skin and make it less visible or something, but it didn't do anything, lol :(

How to protect my new Macbook?

Which one of the Apple cases is the best? Does the privacy screen also help protect the screen or should I get a different one? Appreciate any advice ❤️ I'm extremely accident-prone and broke the screen on my last Macbook Air twice in the first year of owning it (not even sure how - microfractures) - can't let it happen again!

Is a 2024 Apple MacBook Air M3 worth anything with a broken screen (microfractures/vertical lines)?

I still have the charger, original box etc. Full specs:

2024 Apple MacBook Air 13.6", M3 Processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Starlight

I've finally decided on getting a Pro, bc I feel like the Air model is too fragile for my chaotic self. But can I still do anything with this one? Are there any reliable trade in/sell places in the UK that would buy it (I'd have to post it bc i can't really leave the house/drive there)?
