Concept: fratsonas. Create a self-insert that’s a douchey frat bro. Mine’s name is Josh
Everyone keeps tagging this saying they’re Chad but listen guys. We can’t all be a Chad. If you really want your fratsona to be a Chad you have to earn it
my fratsona is named chuck and he pressures people to binge drink at parties
Maybe once this is all done we can finally go back to using real brass doorknobs.
Brass is extremely harsh on the outer lining of bacteria and viruses, it breaks them down, thereby making brass a self-disinfecting material perfect for surfaces like hand rails and doorknobs
Another fun fact, the strong odor of brass is not actually from brass. Brass has no smell. The odor is the dead skincells and body oils on your hand breaking down from touching it. It’s literally the smell of it cleaning your hand
There’s been a dude…can’t remember his name…desperately trying to get hospitals to switch from using stainless steel and plastic for regularly touched surfaces to brass and copper (copper is the part of the alloy of brass that gives it these qualities)
In some studies run in a few hospitals, I believe the reduction in hospital-related infections was something like 56%. Just by replacing things like light switches, doorknobs, and bed rails that get touched a lot with copper.
Microbes cannot develop a resistance to copper or brass, and it kills antibiotic resistant bacteria as effectively as anything else.
The resistance to using more copper in health care settings seems mainly to be from the fact that brass and copper will tarnish and go dull, which in no way effects their ability to self-disinfect. Stainless steel LOOKS nicer and cleaner, but harbors germs like a motherfucker.
I didn’t actually believe this (because frankly it sounds too good to be true, but a quick Google search will in fact show that it seems to be the case. That’s kind of amazing.
This also applies to silver, and a brass, copper, or silver pot will disinfect any water kept inside within a few hours
Except he wasn’t Irish. He was an English land agent who oversaw Irish tenants in Ireland for the English absentee landlord, Lord Erne.
That’s important. This scenario came aboutbecause the English colonised Ireland, took the land from the Irish and then rented the land back to the Irish againat crippling and exhorbitant rents. This gave rise to the Land War.
The Irish National Land League (Irish: Conradh na Talún) was the Irish political organisation that sought to help poor Irish tenant farmers. Its primary aim was to abolish landlordism in Ireland and enable tenant farmers to own the land they worked on. They helped Boycott’s workers to organise against him.
I’ve seen this “fun fact” thrown around the place a lot, and it never includes the fact that Boycott was the English agent of an English landlord, in a system that was oppressing the colonised Irish people. The above is an example of Irish people working together to beat their oppressors.
a week ago everyone was talking about how much better 2021 was going to be than 2020 and now on the 8th of January we gotta all mentally grapple with the fact that a man died from tasering himself in the balls while occupying the capitol building
I’m sorry what
fucking WHAT
EXCUSE ME-
confirmed by multiple news outlets: man tasered himself, had a heart attack, and died
seems to be agreed by witnesses: he was reaching up to steal a painting off the wall when it happened
unverified but logical: the taser was either in his pocket or between his legs at the time, because he needed both hands to grab the painting
If your members of Congress are on this list, call now and demand their resignation: 202-224-3121
If these are not your Senators or representatives, then call your own Congress members and demand they remove these people from office: 202-224-3121
This is why we all need to get on the phone right fucking now and make it clear to Congress that we will not stop until this is resolved.
There must be consequences for everyone involved yesterday, or it will happen again. For once, can we please learn from history? This will happen again. There must be swift and severe consequences for everyone involved in the attempted insurrection, from the Senators who encouraged and incited it to the idiots that stormed the building.
I have call anxiety, so I email. Calling them out publically *tagging them* on social media and talking about it with friends and family, where you can safely, cements their names to their actions in your community and will make sure future votes for these officials dwindle.
