I have a condition called dermatographism AKA 'skin writing'. What's something strange about your body that's not necessarily good or bad? by NotTart5in AskReddit

[–]etoet 0 points1 point ago

No, sadly. That would require hyperflexible shoulders, not elbows.

My elbows hyperextend by about 35°. It freaks people out sometimes.

Identical twins of reddit, when looking back over pictures, do you ever find you don't know which twin you are? by HeatheryLeatheryin AskReddit

[–]etoet 3 points4 points ago

Do you find that people avoid addressing you by name? There's a pair of identical twins at my school (I still can't reliably tell them apart, even after 6 years of having known them), and whenever I run into one of them I usually just say "Hey" instead of "Hey, [name]" because I'm afraid I'll say the wrong name.

I'm getting old. What's the most unassuming way you've injured yourself? by VapidStatementsAheadin AskReddit

[–]etoet 0 points1 point ago

Cranking the lever on a paper towel dispenser in a public bathroom. The edge of my pinkie got caught between the lever and the plastic casing. A whole chunk of flesh got ripped off.

Teachers/Professors of Reddit, What Things Do You Wish Your Students Knew? by ancfin AskReddit

[–]etoet 5 points6 points ago

As a TA: We're not out to get you! Sometimes students take it as a personal affront if we give them a bad grade. (I'm TAing a science course, so subjective grading isn't an issue.)

Girls of Reddit, what are the least successful ways a guy has tried to impress you? by dropdeadfreddiditin AskReddit

[–]etoet 373 points374 points ago

I got hit on by a fellow competitor at a math competition once. He pulled out his smartphone and read off from a list of mathy pickup lines. (Like "I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.") Worst part was, he actually read the <3 at the end of one of them as "less than three."

Once when I was doing an organic chemistry problem, I couldn't figure out what the nucleophile was. Turns out it was the ethanol solvent.

LPT: Eat a peanut butter or mayonnaise sandwich before drinking to slow down the absorption of alcohol. by etoetin LifeProTips

[–]etoet[S] 1 point2 points ago

I Am Not a Biologist, but I think your body still absorbs all the alcohol, just slower and over a longer period of time. Same as if you spaced out your drinks a bit more.

LPT: Eat a peanut butter or mayonnaise sandwich before drinking to slow down the absorption of alcohol. by etoetin LifeProTips

[–]etoet[S] -2 points-1 points ago

Any evidence I could post would be anecdotal, sorry. I doubt there have been any scientific studies done on the effect of peanut butter on alcohol absorption.
