- Comment on Is it normal to be able to shut your nose from within? 1 week ago:
No but I can close the air duct just above my soft palate (not really sure what that part is called), so effectively I can’t breathe through my nose but if I were to go underwater water would still get in, if that makes any sense. I’m not sure if this is common. I know that that part is supposed to close automatically while swallowing to prevent food from going up in the nasal cavity, but idk how common it is to be able to control it separately. It’s handy to avoid smells without using my hands though :)

Yup, believe it or not all humans technically start out as female at conception, then with the right hormones at the right time the female bits morph into male bits.
- Comment on People have no idea how understatimate is the New Year Eve celebration in Iceland! This is pure madness! People are just for the fun over here! Fireworks for hours and people plastered and happy 10 months ago:
Thousands of industries worldwide release thousands of times more chemicals in a day than a firework display ever could. It’s fine. Out of all the sources of pollution, I’d wager fireworks should be near the bottom of our list of concerns.
Though I wish more safety measures around them were introduced, both in terms of manufacturing and usage.
