A year/months ago, I had bathroom problems. The problem was that I was extremely gassy, had to wipe and wash my ass multiple times, I pooped long logs, and a bunch more. I specifically stated that I couldn't get a bidet because no store around me sells it and that I have a lot of fiber in my diet.

Anyway, I was irritated and decided to go on the rant community to rant about it. I made sure to add that I couldn't get a bidet and that my diet was fine (except I was battling severe iron deficiency anemia).

So I had people say that "all" of my problems would be solved if I just got a bidet and changed my "shit" diet. I even got attacked! It is crazy to me how people got so attached over metal that sprays water in your ass.

And they kept giving me unwanted dietary advice. Saying that XYZ is the issue and to limit it.

The good news is that I went to my doctor; it turned out to just be caused by a medication that I was on, and I switched medications. My bathroom problems are thankfully resolved on their own after a few weeks.

Social media, especially due to how toxic it is. I can go on and on about the spread of misinformation/disinformation, cyberbullying, addictive designs, and more. I know technically spreading false information isn't exactly a social media only problem, but I feel that it's easier to do so on social media.

Like, I kind of wish we went back to the 2000s and EARLY 2010s internet, but then we still would have the same issues.

I heard that social media is dying, and I'm not exactly sure if it's true or not. Social media gives a lot more opportunity to socialize with people, but at the same time, there are way more cons than pros.

I saw this one video of a content creator who was reviewing a blow dryer. Her mistake was that she thought the blow dryer didn't have a cooling option, so she ended up reviewing it unfairly. People were upset because there was a cooling option, so she made a response video.

Her response was that she was sorry and that she finally figured out where the cooling button was. She showed us the cooling button, did her hair using it in the way that she likes, and reviewed it fairly. And people were still unhappy. They were just repeating her mistake as if she didn't make a whole response video and showed us what she learned. She even changed her to review!

I get that it's the internet, and not everyone is entitled to accept an apology. That's fair. But I don't understand the purpose of acting as if the person who made the mistake didn't change their behavior.

I mean, when someone makes a mistake, we all want them to acknowledge it and fix it. If they did that, that should be a good thing! There's too many people in this world who believe that they could never make a mistake before.

And I know I'll probably get attacked for this since Reddit is a bit anal about this kind of stuff. But I said what I said.

I love eating plain white rice with nothing added to it. I used to be (and still kind of am) obsessed with eating a big bowl of plain white rice, but I had to stop because I was scared of developing type 2 diabetes or glucose problems.

I love eating salad with nothing added to it (feta cheese is alright, though). I used to eat an entire giant box of blueberries in one sitting.

Currently, I am craving boiled broccoli and cauliflower as well as plain white rice, but I don't have them in my house, unfortunately :(

Can't read, Can't drive, Can't do drugs (because that's obviously how intelligence and adulthood works), Can't even speak, and they score behind in school. This is all of their fault. WE ARE THE SMARTEST GENERATION TO HAVE EVER LIVED

I have 2 posts that are automatically banned because of Reddit's filters! So annoying. I just got out from a 7 day ban that was uplifted, so maybe that's why. But every post I make gets banned because of the stupid filters. The last 2 posts were just me talking about music and YouTube thumbnails

edit: So the filters didn't smite this post. Odd.

I had someone say this to me because I was annoyed that I kept getting gay NSFW ads on YouTube. The main reason why I didn't like them was because it didn't fit my demographic and I don't like seeing NSFW content on SFW websites in general.

I'm guessing this person was LGBTQ+ themselves, so it sounded like a privileged problem. Which is part of the reason why I don't like the phrase. Things can sound privileged to different people.

Anyway, I had to completely wipe out my entire search history on everything and I turned ad personalization off. I still keep getting ads that aren't in my demographic but oh well. I still have my history on my YouTube account paused for now.

Have you seen those YouTubers who add in sound effects, pictures, gifs, etc...​ every 5 seconds? I had to stop watching a few youtubers because of this.

It's so overstimulating and it feels like as if I'm some animal that lacks object permanence and needs these sound effects to keep my attention.

Even worse is when the video is littered with unfunny jokes and it takes forever to get to the point.

To preface, he doesn't do this anymore and aren't frequent (Thankfully), but I still have memories of him doing it.

I remembered countless times where my uncle would smack my ass when I was ~8-15. I didn't asked for him to do this nor are we from a culture where this was normalized. My uncle was in his 20s and 30s at the time.

I also remembered when I was 12 years old, and was running with him for exercise. He made said, "you should run to get your summer body" when I wasn't even in middle school yet...

I am recently diagnosed with HS by my doctor. I take a gel but I noticed some blackheads around my vulva (my HS started there, so HS had more progression there) and I used to have this really bad boil that I'm still recovering from a month later.

The blackheads are on my vulva specifically. I don't have blackheads anywhere else.

And sometimes, there would be really tiny white lumps on the base of my pubic hair. I don't know what it is called.

I have severe croprolaia, which means that I swear without intending or meaning to. However, I tic slurs (T and F slur) as well as typing them because of tics.

As a cis straight creole-cherokee woman, I started doing this thing...I told my brain, "Hey! Can you please stop ticcing slurs? This is bigotry against us cis straight people (us cis straights are the most targeted and prosecuted groups in the world) and I want it to stop! You are being mean without my consent and I have the freedom of speech..."

My brain replied, "I'm so sorry, we will make your tics stop"

...just like that...my tics stopped and I am officially cured from ticking homophobic and transphobic slurs!!!!

It's not that I despise socializing or anything, it's so hard for me socialize in real life (and on the internet sometimes) and I have really bad social anxiety. My therapist is trying to teach me how to make friends and properly socialize because no one taught me how to.

ANYWAY, I sometimes feel like I'm unable to talk to people. It feels like there's a force that prevents me from making basic conversations to people that I don't know.

Also, I stumble on my words a lot and stutter for whatever reason. Most likely because I don't talk much IRL.

But what also makes it difficult is that there's a lot of social "rules" like for example, you have to look at the person while speaking to them, you have to read the room to make sure the conversation is appropriate, and a bunch of other things.

Genuinely, I felt so overwhelmed already when my therapist started teaching me how to socialize.
