I hate their stage names. Baby, Sporty, Posh? Why tf didn’t they use actual spice names? Ginger was already there. Why others weren’t called Cinnamon, Pepper, Clove, and Nutmeg? Fucking Brits. 😤😡🤬

Brits don’t actually use spices other than salt.
My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s true. Few of their dishes are known to curry f[l]avor.
Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 day ago
Indeed, they use them steeped in hot water.
violetring@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Actually, the names were coined by a writer working for a pop magazine. He based the names on their personalities. After the article was published the names spread like wildfire with the public.
It wasn’t till later that The Spice Girls officially adopted the names. At least some of the members actually hated them. Unfortunately, all their fans were already using them, so the group didn’t have much of a choice.

No idea what this is referencing. But have “purse” ibuprofen, home ibuprofen, and even minivan ibuprofen.
Why yes, I do have chronic pain and migraines. How could you tell?
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 days ago
You just need some Spice in your life Girls.
Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
I sent the image to my partner and accidentally caused her psychic damage by not immediately knowing that this was the Spice Girls too. I was born in ’90 while she was born in ’85 and I was like 26 when we got together, so we’re not that far apart in age. But where that gap falls is sometimes huge for us.
She’s apocalyptically gay, like “Mistook not being entirely repulsed by a boy for having a crush on them,” gay. So naturally, she was obsessed with the Spice Girls. I knew of them, but I didn’t really start branching out in my music tastes until the mid 2000’s. Before that it was basically entirely the Country music my Mom listened to or the Classic Rock my Dad listened to.
So yeah, this was another thing that I accidentally caused psychic damage to my partner with because of our age difference.

If you arent allergic, you should aleternate between ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Its easier on your guts
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
I’m not convinced acetaminophen is a drug. It might just be my problematic caffeine addiction but a can of pepsi is usually a better headache medicine than Tylenol.
Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
I would but acetaminophen does nothing for me and I’ve got liver function issues largely from being well… large. Doc has told me to just avoid acetaminophen.
All I can really do is just only take the ibuprofen when none of the non-medication remedies help.
MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 days ago
No idea?! Are the spice girls so old and unknown?!! :( This sucks
Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
Oh is that what this is referencing? I definitely knew of the Spice Girls, I was just never really into them when I was younger. I was one of those kids whose family only really listened to Country music and didn’t really branch out much until like the mid 2000s. But when I did I was more into like Linkin Park, Celldweller, and like random DDR and anime music.

I’m guessing this is joke about US vs rest of the world,
But acetaminophen is Paracetamol
Ibuprofen is ibuprofen

If you’re old enough to recognise the shoes, ibuprofen might give you heartburn and you might actually carry paracetamol around instead

Migraines suck
Laser@feddit.org 2 days ago
Do these generic painkillers even do a lot for migraines? I thought tryptamines were what helps most people
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
I unfortunately am not on prescription meds for it. I have tried a handful of some from friends with not much impact. I really need to get back to the doctor and to find something that works.
ErrorCode@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Not much. And for me, triptan side effects are nearly as bad as the migraine. Nurtec is the only thing I have really found effective.
python@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Purse Ibuprofen, Backpack Ibuprofen, Living Room Ibuprofen, Bathroom Ibuprofen and Bed Shelf Ibuprofen. Still can’t ever find it when I get a headache, ugh.
My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I consider you lucky. NSAIDs are a forbidden fruit for me.
ErrorCode@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Same. Acetaminophen (Tylenol). Backpack tylenol, office/desk tylenol, living room tylenol, bathroom tylenol, camping tylenol. I should totally put some in my car now that so many people mentioned, just in case my backpack isn’t with me.

D_C@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
I mean, yeah, but Baby Spice would be my choice.
However, I do think Sporty would do a better job and would probably hit me with a frozen kipper without me having to ask for it.

I don’t take ibuprofen, but I do drink a lot of caffeine to dull the ocular migraines.

When you spice up your life for so long it starts to hurt.
YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I have gout, which runs in my family (but I doubt the 90s pints helped). Therefore I was eating Ibuprofen like skittles for way too long to take the pain away. I finally relented and got on the meds after the diet and exercise didn’t fix it. Now I never take ibuprofen, and it makes me worry about how much damage I did to my organs and stomach lining while I was using it.
YaDownWitCPP@lemmy.world 2 days ago

What are you doing in the bathroom to make you need ibuprofen after?

Getting ready for bed. Laying in which will make me too stiff and unconfortable to sleep without an NSAID (or sometimes a SAID) onboard.
