YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Is your hat an angry raccoon?

I KNEW IT!!! The sun just..hurts. now. Regardless of latitude, direct sunlight deadass insta-sizzles my skin. Worth it though, my mental health is sorted. UV blocking activewear handles the rest.

Holy shit thats why I'm so temperature sensitive?

[–] Crismus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yea same here. I have to sit in front of my AC and bringing in the groceries makes me overheat so much I have to use cold water and the AC to stop it.

I grew up in deserts like the Mojave and used to be able to work in 115 degrees. Now I can't surpass 75 degrees.

Bonus+ Citrus, especially grapefruit, can enhance the effects of certain medications as well.

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It can go in the other direction too

[–] Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Meds enhance the effects of grapefruit?

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, it can make meds less effective

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Less effective grapefruit?

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

A like my grapefruit around 28% anything above that and I get sleepy

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I thought grapefruit blocked the channels that lots of drugs use?

yup, opiates to be specific.

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

My doctors office actually notified me that I'm on 2 medications that make me extra heat sensitive.

I appreciate it. This is a good reminder to folks to check.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Great, I take a stimulant, a beta blocker, and an antipsychotic. I’m cooked.

[–] LinksMasterSw0rd@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Literally apparently. Man this is good to know, specifically antihistamines since I'm allergic to basically everything green outside..

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago
