"bro why do you eat fries before your burger?" the actual answer is: fries only taste worse the colder they get, so you eat the fries first cause your burger's gonna taste fine a little bit colder and it's gonna cool down a bit slower anyway

I feel so vindicated by your anger at the alkaline water. When my baby was regularly near death in the hospital with recurrent bronchiolitis, I had a woman we know who sells alkaline water machines hounding me. She KNEW giving my baby (with dysphasia who couldn’t even breastfeed!) bottles of alkaline water would cure him, and accused me of being an abusive mom for not trying every possibility to help my child. She was blocked from our lives but the anger still rises up in me!

[@kydelvetus642]

I'm guessing what you were prescribed was an antihistamine. Histamine is naturally produced in the body and has two very different functions at the same time: it promotes itchiness in the skin and wakefulness in the brain. Antihistamines are drugs that antagonise the effects of histamine. So when you take an antihistamine to dampen down histamine function in the skin, some of this antihistamine ends up in the brain and has the unintended effect of causing drowsiness

I google the difference between panther and cougar then ctrl+c ctrl+v Difference Between Cougar and Panther Cougar is always a defined and identified particular species, while a panther could be any of the big cats. Cougar does not have a larynx and hyoid structures to produce horrifying roars, but panthers could produce roars. Cougar is a new world species, while panther is both a new world and old world species.

[@Natalie-it9ji]

You are correct! The common name panther comes from the genus name Panthera, which belongs to the true big cats which can roar, like Panthera leo and Panthera tigris (lions and tigers). Confusion comes from common names just being how people describe what they are talking about. Most common names come from when we grouped animals based on their looks (morphology) rather than genetics/ancestry. Cougars do look pretty similar to lions, so it makes sense they ended up with a similar common name. Genetically, they are different enough that we gave them a different genus name, Puma. This is why we have the system for scientifically naming creatures, so we can discuss with accuracy, even across many languages. I love how many people are curious or interested! Hope this helps.
