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 1 month ago
It’s true. Few of their dishes are known to curry f[l]avor.
Honytawk@feddit.nl 1 month ago
Indeed, they use them steeped in hot water.
violetring@lemmy.world 1 month 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.

They’re all Old Spice now.

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 1 month ago
You just need some Spice in your life Girls.
Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago
No idea?! Are the spice girls so old and unknown?!! :( This sucks
Macchi_the_Slime@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 month 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 think you mean purse paracetamol and home paracetamol
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
I’m guessing this is joke about US vs rest of the world,
But acetaminophen is Paracetamol
Ibuprofen is ibuprofen
404@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
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 1 month ago
Do these generic painkillers even do a lot for migraines? I thought tryptamines were what helps most people
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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 1 month ago
I consider you lucky. NSAIDs are a forbidden fruit for me.
ErrorCode@lemmy.world 1 month 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.
ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Yo, tell me what you want, what you really, really want, I’ll tell you want I want, what I really, really want … I really, really want some ibuprofen
I having some now from my desk supply of ibuprofen, but I do also have some garage ibuprofen and some bedroom ibuprofen

It’s my car ibuprofen and antacids , my work ibuprofen and antacids , and my home ibuprofen and antacids thank you very much.

FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Hi, I’m Peg
D_C@sh.itjust.works 1 month 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.
aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I grew up with those sassy bitches.
I don’t take ibuprofen, but I do drink a lot of caffeine to dull the ocular migraines.

hOrni@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’m pretty sure these are Spice Girls but I don’t get the ibuprofen part.
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
I’m guessing people who remember them are now old enough to need this medication.

When you spice up your life for so long it starts to hurt.
YeahIgotskills2@lemmy.world 1 month 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 1 month ago
When’s the last time you checked the expiration date on all this ibuprofen?

Well it’s Tylenol in the work bag because I can’t have too much of either in a single day. Also because I don’t need to have that one and a lunch (which I never get).

cRazi_man@europe.pub 1 month ago
What are you doing in the bathroom to make you need ibuprofen after?
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 month ago
Getting ready for bed. Laying in which will make me too stiff and unconfortable to sleep without an NSAID (or sometimes a SAID) onboard.
