Hey, someone with Celiac Disease here! What gluten does is not cause your stomach lining to slough off, it kills the villi in your intestines, preventing you from absorbing water and nutrients as that causes the surface area of your intestines to go way down, meaning that you absorb less.

[@Takenmynameandmycat]

It can also scar if it goes on long enough, increase cancer risk, and gives you temporary/permanent lactose intolerance since the ends of the villi are where lactose is absorbed after your gut bacteria work on it.

18:29 I got petty good at doing simple math and probability questions quickly because of DnD. When your character of two years will live or die by your next roll, it may not increase your odds to know what you have to roll, but it does make you feel like you have a little more control

It's also pretty good to know these odds before you decide which action to take, so you don't end up in "pass this check or die" situations as often.

[@manacress85]

The average roll on a 20 sided die is a 10.5, or 11 in 5e. This is irrelevant because you will somehow roll a 4 every time it matters.

[@maximsavage]

@@manacress85 Average roll value, which is determined by averaging the values of each side since each side comes up equally in an infinite number of rolls, isn't important in calculating your odds for a single roll of a single check. You do it like this: Each number on a d20 has a 5% (1/20) chance of coming up when you roll normally. Say you need a 12 or above to succeed, that means every value between 12 and 20 inclusive is a success. That means, for that one roll, you have a 9/20 chance, in other words 45% chance of success on that particular roll.

Man I can emphasize with having Celiac Disease. About 20 years ago I was seeing all kinds of doctors about stomach problems and they thought I might have it, so they had me go 3 months without gluten. Turns out that wasn't my problem, thankfully. But I know the pain of trying to find foods that had no gluten in. Basically 95% of what you could find in grocery stores and 99% of what you could find in restaurants or other prepared food you couldn't eat. Even things that you wouldn't think would have gluten do because of cheap filler. So it was like 'I hope you like rice, vegetables and meat prepared by yourself for the rest of your life, because that's all you can have.' It's better now with everyone freaking out about gluten, but not much. I still really can't eat stuff with bread or pizza much, but at least I don't have to cut out all gluten...

[@TotallyNotASpy1]

I am having issues with my stomach all the time aswell and have seen several doctors, done a few checks and even tried a gluten free diet. Still getting stomach issues and I just don't know what to do anymore. It's such a pain in the neck, or rather in the stomach...

[@ifirebolti2789]

As someone with mild celiacs (basically a strong intolerance), I can definitely recommend ‘Genius’ gluten free bread. It’ll still taste better toasted, but it’s half-decent not-toasted. The other thing is that for stuff to be considered gluten free it just needs to contain less than a specific percentage of gluten (it depends on the country, where I live it’s 2%). An example of this is Cider. Cider technically DOES contain gluten, however it’s such a small amount, that even someone like myself can drink it perfectly fine. Obviously check with your doctor, and be your own judge for what works best for you, but thought I’d speak my piece! Hope it helps Zach!!

Now it basically doesnt do anything to me.

Great now that Zack has a p90 he can fight aliens with terribly inaccurate plasma spears

[@lanceuppercut6168]

I don't know if it has come to your attention but people are now doing reaction videos of your campfire stories and they're always a hit. So thank you guys on behalf of viewers for the entertainment and on behalf of content creators for the reaction material.

[@AngryTheGnome]

Mike, we really need a podcast of just you and Zach talking / sharing stories

[@unkownquantity4949]

It's actually really cool that these guys can make a video with a nearly still image captioning and just having a conversation. It's just cool as hell.

[@Shirep]

12:40 is just such a satisfying 'Yeah'

[@joshuasayles8792]

I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. The whole Mike answering the math question quickly and not even caring if he was actually correct had me rolling!

[@Zack_Zander]

Even I didn’t realize it was incorrect until Mike said that he didn’t know if it was.

[@WhisperingAila]

God that last bit was like the most comedic, like the setup and little quips leading up to a big punchline. That was amazing xD

[@followerofthemantle3489]

For the teeth thing, there are water picks you attach to your shower head, has a valve for pressure and everything. Makes it so much easier to keep up with 'flossing.'

[@WolfHreda]

I've been loving seeing your guys' videos being requested on reaction channels. You guys deserve as many fans as you can get.

[@tilted_axis9819]

Really interesting to hear Zach talk about a photography class. Been doing it for almost 2 years and was thinking I can only gain from a class since there has to be something I can’t learn on my own, but also thinking it has to be a skill where experience is king.

[@AirWolf2301]

As always... this is pure gold. And my condolences Zach, I would to hate it to not be able to eat normal bread.

3:58 - Which brand of floss worked the best since you bought several different kinds?

[@Zach_Hazard]

Oral-b glide comfort floss. It’s great

[@batou486]

I love the story telling from both of them, Zach reminded me that rush my teeth just nowwith his dental story.

Hell yeah, New campfire story right as I'm about to shower! Got my tunes for the shower!

[@linkeffect82]

Great campfire episode as usual! I fell back n love with the P90 in Goldeneye for the N64, so it's awesome you got one for yourself. Thanks for these videos!

[@eddmario]

So, I think I know what Zach's finger thing was. It was probably just an ingrown nail that got infected, which is why when he fucked around with it the fluid ended up getting drained and the pain went away. This happens to me occasionally and I just need to use either a safety pin or a sewing needle and some rubbing alcohol to pierce the skin and drain out the fluid. In fact, this happened to me 2 weeks ago!

[@lordderp6914]

Oh God thats not fun I had to cut out my nail once that was just suffering

[@Zach_Hazard]

It was on the side of my kunckle though

[@ryanjohnstone9097]

It might have been a ganglion cyst, which used to be called bible cysts because you’d treat them by smacking the area with a heavy bible.

[@DeckDogs4Life]

6:48 Idk man, I have a Pilonidal Cyst and it was super easy to get a referral and get it taken care of. I still have not gone in for surgery, though that is because I have been procrastinating. The ER was fucking annoying because, thanks to COVID, all of the nurses acted like assholes, even though my pain had me in so much pain that my blood pressure was at stroke levels. The surgeon was incredibly helpful and an easy thing to deal with though. I just really need to schedule an appointment to have surgery to get the area operated on so it hopefully doesn't come back. I even had to call later to get another antibiotic prescribed when it acted up again and had no problems. They returned my calls promptly and got it done quickly.

[@brycevo]

Zach, please get your hand checked. Please don't get toxic shock

[@dylanreyes2017]

Even before this video starts I know that’ll make me smile. Thank you for putting out this content

[@firebat128]

That ending was hysterical

[@kenjinagano4552]

Glasses earpiece fix: find a paper clip, feed it through the hole and wrap it around, or if it’s a smaller screw hole, use a twist-‘‘em from a produce department and use pliers to peel off the plastic guard. Boom keeps the arm in place and lets it fold

[@zirontheimpaler]

If anyone has that floss issue where it breaks between teeth, try chewing gum or one of those thin plastic straws around it. most of the time it comes right out.

[@TangoZulu85]

I had the same experience with the VA. I had a cyst in my wrist. After... (it's been a few years, I forget exactly) about 6-8 months, I got an appointment with a wrist doctor, over an hour away. I went there, was seen, and the doctor said, "You can cut this out, drain it, or wait it out." I said, "The reason I'm here is because 6 months ago I chose to cut it out." They said, "Okay, go to the receptionist, and we'll make an appointment for the surgery. THEY HAD ME MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, AN HOUR AWAY TO DISCUSS THE THING THEY ALREADY KNEW, AFTER HALF A YEAR. I go to the receptionist, and try to make an appointment, but I can't, because the scheduling system ONLY GOES OUT TWO MONTHS. That was in May, they called me in September, so it would have been 6 months for an appointment that, in their own words, "only takes about 15 minutes." Sorry to hear you've gotten similar experiences outside the VA. I live in a fairly unremarkable area on the outskirts of a city on the eastern half of PA, and when I need to see a doctor nearby, they're always like, "Sorry, is this urgent, or can it wait until Thursday?" for something I was looking to get checked out that Monday besides... yearly checkups usually take a couple weeks to schedule just because of the volume.

[@zredfernhall]

*Sees Helltaker reference* I knew you two were men of taste.

[@RhysLloyd2611]

Honestly Zach, making your own bread is pretty therapeutic, and you can add your own flavour and stuff. You can make your own gluten free pizza dough and then just roll it onto a baking tray and make it a pizza then you're good. I live in a lil Welsh village and it's an hours drive the nearest supermarket (it's alot in the UK ik that's nothing in the US) so we just make our own and it's real good

[@chrisbingley]

I can legitimately do mental arithmetic faster in my head than typing it into a calculator. Though most of the time I don't have to as I can remember the answer. Like learning your times tables, but for addition, subtraction and division as well.

[@ZELLFE1T]

I relate to the pain of having to be gluten free, I got a negative test for celiac's but an allergy test showed I'm allergic to wheat

[@thekraken2419]

Yeah same here about a year ago, try King Arthur products. Got good pancake mix, cornbread mix, & all purpose flour. Very good but pretty expensive compared to normal flour. Schär is also a good brand and sells pre made bread products. These do have a bit of an off tase but are fine when toasted. They are also a bit comparatively expensive. Except for their toaster waffles which are pretty competitively priced with normal toaster waffles, and are amazing.

[@mfnguy2942]

Zach can just get this neat little floss pick, it’s like one of those little green ones with the wire but it’s got like a toothbrush handle on it, and I think you’re supposed to bite it to get it between your teeth. I’ve always been bad about taking care of my teeth but that thing made it a lot easier

Bruh. I had an art history teacher who once spent 45 minutes talking about how cavemen's hair affected art. I also had a philosophy teacher who once spent an entire class period playing his guitar while lecturing about how anything can be a philosophy. It was 90 minutes of talking about nothing while he was tuning his guitar.

a good rule of thumb i got by if you think you want something, but are having doubts/ not 100% sure, wait 3 days if you still want it the same amount, then you actually want it if its decreased slightly, wait 3 more days for another change. you might be tired or forgot why you wanted it most times you will realize you dont really want the thing or even forget about it, which usually means you didnt think it was all that important to begin with and just went "ooooo, shiny!"
